Seeking to modernize its vast database on China's 1.3 billion citizens, the government's Public Security Bureau has been replacing the handwritten identity card that every Chinese must carry with a computer-readable one....

The result is that some 60 million Chinese with obscure characters in their names cannot get new cards ? unless they change their names to something more common.

Great lens! I enjoyed reading all the weird names... it's amazing what people choose for their kids! A name doesn't have to be outlandish to be unique, after all, I haven't met too many other girls named Rosemary - at least not in my generation!

They were talking about this very same subject on the radio recently and one particular family was singled out because they wanted to name their child "Spatule" which is french for "Spatula". Imagine going around with a name like that? Eventually the name was refused by the authorities that approve names. We never did find out what the child was eventually named. In any case, I thought your lens was very interesting and thank you for accepting my yogurt lens into Chez Squid:)

I don't know why some parents go out of their way to name their kids something they might get beat up in school for.lol. I understand though because one of my friends named his son "SIX" because that's how many kids he wants to have.:)
