Today I received a new Chinese name

From my friend in Hong Kong, Kit Tang:

盧柏倫is much better than the old one 巴煙肉...

盧：your surname 'Lutz'

柏：cypress, the symbol of 'long live' in Chinese culture

倫：'in order', 'well-organized', 'moral' in Confucian sense

It's a proper Chinese name that not many 'gui lo' have the privilege to get. Enjoy!

You pronounce it Lo Pak Lun.

The old name was Ba Yin Yuk which means Baconman and sounds a bit like Barend. Lo Pak Lun sounds much cooler and I think will be a bit more fitting than Baconman, though it would be cool to have the powers of BACONMAAN...Mmm!

So hi, I am 盧柏倫
