[Facts] Article on problems with Chinese names
There is an article in the Times about the problem of too many Chinese people having the same name and I thought some people would find this interesting.

My teacher is called Li and a friend of mine Zhang :)And I think it should be the same problem in Korea - half of the population is named "Kim" and the other one "Park" ;) Ok that's a bit exagerating, but only a bit.
