What is My Name


                            What is  My Name


    My name is Yafeng Yu（余雅锋） or people can call me by my English name Jason. I was born in Guangdong Taishan.  Most of the time people call me Jason but they usually call me J, and I like it because it is simple and people remember my name better. I actually don’t like when people call me by my Chinese name, because most of the time people can’t pronounce correctly and they can’t remember it either. That is the reason why I prefer using Jason or J more often. My chinese name came after my older sister. Her name is Yating Yu and my Dad named meYafeng Yu. It is quite similar, only one of the word Feng (锋) is different. The meaning behind my Chinese name is “wish me to stay healthy all time in my life”. 

    In the end, as long as people are nice and show respect to me and my name, I'm fine with what they want to call me either Yafeng Yu, Jason, or just J. Since we all have different names, what matters most is respect. It's all about being kind to each other and appreciating our differences.

What started as talking about movie words such as sequels and academy awards etc.  We also talked about whether actors in movies should make a lot of money. In my opinion, I think they should earn big money for being really good at acting, not just for looking nice. It made me realize that being talented is a gift, if you have that kind of talent it is really important, whether it's in acting or something else. Learning about the history of movies was interesting too. We went way back to the 1920s when movies first started. The 1930s was a golden...
