    Recently, the news that a Chinese-American actress changed her Chinese surname for the development of Hollywood has attracted heated comments, and both the main character of the news and the commentator have mentioned "racist". Such comments are relatively harmonious, and radical netizens came up with a sensitive word - "racial discrimination".

    I think it's too much of a story and a person's rhetoric to rise to the level of "racism", and the impact of a single incident is too magnified, even though she's a celebrity. More precisely, this is more like the helplessness after sending people under the fence.

    I think Chloe Bennett's response to critics' remarks is still very credible, the United States has never stopped boycotting Chinese people and goods, Chinese and companies want to develop in the United States to break through layers of barriers, Chloe Bennett incident is just a microcosm.

    It's better to go back to China for development.

    The surnames in the history of the Chinese nation have always been said to be hundreds of surnames, Chang Yun:"Zhao Qian, Sun Li, Zhou Wu, Zheng Wang, Feng Chen, Chu Wei, Jiang Shen, Han Yang", which is the top sixteen surnames in the Song Dynasty's "Hundred Family Names". Here"Hundred"It refers to the plural and many meanings, not specifically refers to the meaning of hundreds, and the common people who are often said today also originate from this, and the name of the hundred family names originated from the Song Dynasty after the "hundred family names" came out.

    According to Chinese historical records and the appearance of oracle bone inscriptions, China is the first country in the world to use surnames, but in ancient China there is a strict distinction between surnames and surnames, during the third dynasty of the Xia and Shang dynasties, men were called more names, women were called surnames, and the names were the representatives and titles of the aristocratic patriarchal system, that is, the tribal organizations in ancient times.

    On August 31, Chloe Bennett, a mixed-race actress on "S.H.I.E.L.D.**", hit back at netizens who criticized her for changing her surname "Wang".

    Bennett's father is Chinese and his mother is Caucasian. She had previously worked as a singer in China, using her real name, Wang Keying.

    As a Chinese-American woman in Hollywood, Bennett feels compelled to market herself as a white person, the report said. Historically, the film and industry has been unfair to Asian talent, often with Asian-American actors in stereotypical or racially sensitive roles, and Asian-American actors are paid far less than their white colleagues, sometimes even a dime.

    For example, a 2016 study on diversity in the film industry showed that there are very few Asian-American actors, characters, and storylines in Hollywood films. When a movie or TV series features Asian characters or related themes, the storyline usually focuses on white characters or adapts the content to white actors.

    Not everyone agrees with Bennett's choice, and her surname should follow her father's "Wang" surname, with criticism suggesting that she is actually taking advantage of her privileges as a white actress, the report said. Some argue that Bennett should fight Hollywood's discrimination and oppression, rather than change her name to conform to the standards of so-called mainstream culture. However, there are also many who support Bennett using her fame to speak out against racism in Hollywood.

    The name is in the sky, the surname is in life, and the word is in the Tao.

    Therefore, there is nothing wrong with people changing their surnames just for the smoothness of numerology.

    However, this has changed the history of his surname, so a person has changed his surname, but it is also necessary to know how his surname actually came from.

    As long as you don't forget, the ** and original meaning of the surname are inherited, so it's nothing to change it.

    If everyone's name is so rigorous, Chinese people will live interestingly.
