Get a real Chinese name

On your business card. That is.

Five seconds. You shake hands with this stranger, you smile, you utter your name, he says something. Your business cards change hands. Start. 5 seconds. Stop. But ff you are in China, you can put these 5 seconds to good use. Not that phonetic translation of your English name with Chinese characters, you put real Chinese name on your card.

“Oh, you have a real Chinese name.” An impression made and a conversation starts.
