An Introduction of the Idea

Hi, everybody! 
In the third post, I would like to introduce more about why I chose to promote Chinese names for people who use phonetic writing systems (like the Latin alphabet, the Cyrillic alphabet, etc.) here.

Apparently, the first reason is this is what the author is good at! As a Chinese national and student whose major in university is English translation, I have not only the nature of naming in Chinese but also some professional knowledge on how to deal with the foreigners’ names when translated or renovated. That means, huh, my service the information here and my service of naming are absolutely reliable and satisfactory!  

Furthermore, in terms of intercultural communication, I am convinced that it is easier and less-controversial to promote the indigenous culture of a country or nation from names because they hardly cause or get involved in historic conflicts and contemporary disagreements. Therefore under a neutral (which I think so) topic, people may have a smooth and friendly access to know more about the Chinese culture.


Besides, the third reason is……it is a compulsory work of one of my course in this semester. I still remember how I was scared when the teacher demanded us to create and run a blog for academic purpose, since I had even no idea of writing blogs on academic topic, not even my life! However, having initialised the early posts, I am gradually satisfied, perceiving that this is a perfect chance for me to improve both my writing skill and professional knowledge. Some errors may be detected by the readers, but I kindly welcome any comments and corrections J   

Wish to hear more from you, my friends. Cheers!
