My first name is 昕Xīn, which means bright and hope. The original meaning of this Chinese character is the time when the sun is about to rise. Why, you may ask? Let's look at the Chinese character first. We can divide it into two parts, the left "日（rì）" represents the sun and the right "斤（jīn）" represents the axe. Together, it means that sunlight splits the darkness like an axe and brings the light. ——————— Hi, I'm Vera, a certificated Chinese teacher who would love to share Chinese information and answer or discuss questions in the community😊 Follow me and make progress 📈every day.
