35: A rose by any other name

Huimei, do you know what your name means?

(hui) is from 智慧(zhi hui) which means to be wise, intelligent, and not simply smart. 


(mei) is derived from 梅花 (mei hua), plum blossom. It symbolises  an incredible strength and beauty, as it is one of the few flowers that blooms and flourishes in winter. It also symbolises hope, as its flowers remind people that even though it is winter, spring is not too far away. , 

My dear girl, it's alot to live up to in a mere two syllables, but I think you can get by with a little help from your friends.
