My name is 潘宇, and it's PinYin form is "Pan Yu". PinYin are Chinese phonetic symbols, they are like English letters but actually not (you can find an introduction to PinYin on wikipedia here) . Most foreigners can pronouce "Pan" quite well because of the famous Peter Pan, but they cannot find a way to speak "Yu" which is indeed "Yü" -- a sound between "Yi" and "You". Kinda of strange thing is that I can pronouce even the most lengthy Indian names quite well, but theIndian labmates cannot speak the shortest "Yu". I'll keep on training them Chinese, until one day my name is clearly correctly explicitly spoken out till when I guarantee they will pass Chinese level 6.

Although short, Pan Yu is full of meanings. I was born in Kunming, but my origin is LiuHe in Jiangsu province. LiuHe in Chinese means six jointed, the six refers to east, south, west, north, upside and downside, jointed is the universe. Pan in Chinese soulds like another word meaning "expecting". So altogether "Pan Yu" means "expecting to returning to LiuHe". When I was very young, there was a catching sentence called "攀登宇宙高峰" (climbing up the peak of the universe), my mom told me my name was from that sentence, :D, so sometimes, I felt like I'm the One and meant to do something great, given the heavy name I'm carrying :D:D
