In response, some netizens said, “when will lee wah learn to write his own letter?”。
Besides, there are so many names to choose, why does the english test have a preference for lee hua
Lee walking around
Lee wah's presence in english literature dates back to 1995, when he wrote a letter for lee wah。
English language in 1995
In the years that followed, the regional simulations, the high examination papers, and li wah's always showing up and asking you to write it for him。
2007 national volume iTitle of essayIn 2019, all the country's 12th and 3rd volumes were written to help him with a volunteer application, a fuel letter for a volleyball game and an invitation to a music festival. In 2022, the beijing edition, the candidates wrote to lee to “invite jim to conduct an online english writing exchange for the class”。
According to statistics, between 1995 and 2019, there were 108 cases of lee wah guang on the subject of advanced examinations。
As to why the name li wah was used, a teacher who had been involved in the subject had said that it was mainly because of the popularization of the name。
First of all, lee is a very common name。
The initial "people's house" in north song, beginning with "chon-sun lee" zhao, was the largest number at the time。
Until recent years, the last name of li has also been the largest。
According to the national report on names for the year 2000 published the previous year by the centre for the study of household administration of the ministry of public security, the top five names are wang, lee, zhang, liu and chen, with a total population of 30. 8 per cent. Among them, “li” ranked first in the list of newborns born in 2020, with nearly 726,000 newborns having their surnames。

According to the centre for the study of household administration and management of the ministry of public security, the total number of people named lee in china is over 100 million。
Not only in china but also in other asian countries, lee is also a common surname. For example, lee is the second largest family name in korea, and according to the korea national statistics office, there are more than 7. 3 million people named lee in korea, who make up 14. 7 per cent of the total population of korea。

Secondly, the word “china” is a common word for naming。
The word “china” is used to name our country, which has a single word for it, but also for building it, e-hwa, e-hwa, etc., and is based on love for the homeland, building it, etc。
According to statistics, in 1969 and before that, the name jianhua was one of the 10 names most used by men。

In recent years, the proportion of the younger generation in the name of a nation-building and building china has declined, but china is still not a distant word, and the name lee has been impressed by generations of students。
In addition to the popularization of the name, the teacher who had participated in the project said that the name lee wah was easier to write。
The five major surnames mentioned earlier - wang, lee, zhang, liu and chen - are in the english text: wang, li, zhang, liu and chen. Among them, “li” has the least letter writing and the shortest length, which not only reduces the author's writing burden, but also saves time and effort on the reading teacher。

In other words, it is not easy to find a name that is as well written and popular as lee wah and has a sense of patriotism. Now that people have come up with lee wah, let's just say "for generations."。
"lihua" is not easy to confuse
Another advantage of choosing li hua to appear in english is that li hua, written in english, is more appropriate。
On the one hand, li hua's chinese spelling “li hua”, each of which has the same adjuncts and vowels in english, and fully letters。
In the 1950s, a group of chinese linguists, including zhou xiang, developed a chinese spelling system based on the early latinization of the chinese script, which used latin letters as the standard pronunciation of chinese。
However, our chinese spelling system, although very similar to the english alphabet, is not exactly the same. For example, in english q is usually used as/k/s/s/s/s/s. If those two voices were included in a person's name and were transliterated into english, it would be easy for non-chinese speakers to read them wrong. For example, some people, known as haoxiao, write it in english, and it's easy to read it as "shukoshui."。
“j” “q” pronunciation for foreign chinese language study sites
Not to mention some chinese accents, like ji, zi, none in english. The alien's first reading, the sound of which is strange, may have been called by his own name, not knowing himself, and could have even missed important matters in hospitals, schools, police stations, etc。
So many students with j, q, x spellings in their names say that they either go out and give themselves a name in english so that foreigners can call themselves, or that they may be able to judge that they're calling themselves when they see a strange sound coming out of their face
And the pronunciation of the name lee wah can hold a foreigner。
The sound mother of “li” and “wah” has the corresponding ads/l/ and/h/ in english; the hymn of “li” has the corresponding pronunciation/i:/; and the hymns of “wah” can be broken down into/u/ and/or a combination of two。
English pronunciation
On the other hand, there is no ambiguity about lee wah。
As a general rule, the names in english are chosen from names that have already been agreed upon in order to name children, mostly from historical religious figures, occupations, place names, physical characteristics, etc。
The common english name david, for example, is the man from the bible, king david。
There are also simpler names, such as jackson, which is the english word "jack" plus the english word "son". So, if anyone's name is jackson, it's all jack's descendants。
In contrast, the chinese branding is more original and diverse。
According to statistics, 47035 chinese characters are recorded in the kang hee dictionary, 85568 in china sea and a total of 70,244 in the country's latest inner-code collection, gb 18030. When they are named, they can be randomly chosen from these thousands of chinese words, and the space is enormous。
But it's possible to create a variety of misunderstandings when a chinese name is written in english by spelling
For example, there was an earlier post by an american student on the internet stating that his chinese name was “spotine”, but that a poetic name, when it arrived in the united states, became “shiping” and it was very similar to “shitting” in english。
On her birthday at the hotel, she was given a cake with a birthday blessing, but a meaningful ellipsis was added after her name, “ms. Shining”. “maybe the hotel attendant was struggling to write these words, and the three points were what he wanted to say to me.”
Some netizens in the comment area say that their name is poetry, and in english it says "shitong" and "shit" is no better than the owner. Another girl, ying ting, said that while her name was not as broken as “shiping”, it was almost identical to the english word “eating” and it was difficult not to think of images such as the big stomach。
The names of various stars were also cited, such as a chorus, written in english as hu ge, which together is the adjective “huge” in english。
It's just a strange thing to say, it's possible to change a name, some of them by name。
Some netizens say that they have their own name, and the spelling is she, and the english word “she” is also “she”. If the girl is okay, the boy's name is zen, and when introduced, they say “he is she”, translated literally, “he is a girl”。
Accordingly, if there is a girl's last name, it becomes “she is he”, which is translated as “she is a boy”. There are also girls named man, who introduce themselves in english, i am man。
By contrast, the name of li wah is perfectly normal, neither by name nor by name, and neither the spelling nor the pronunciation gives rise to any misunderstanding. It is a name that fits well into english。
At the end of this year's examination, another generation will say goodbye to li wah。
I just don't know if lee wah will learn to write next year
