Trivia

My name spells "Yin Yang". However, it has nothing to do with the two complementary forces Yin and Yang. In fact, many Chinese characters have the same Roman spelling even though their original pronunciations are different. The "Yang" ("Yeung" in Cantonese) in my name is a type of tree, which is a common surname in China. My given name, "Yin", means 4am-6am, the time I was born. Most friends call me "David", the English name I gave myself.
