Naming

  • Sark, originally a non-sense word, is simply ‘Shark’ without an ‘h’ and it has been used as my English name since my adolescence.
  • P. – the initial of Pangrui (庞锐), my first name in Mandarin, is less introduced to my western friends as it is too confronting for them to pronounce.
  • Xing, my surname (邢), is pronounced as similar as ‘Sing’.
