My Surname

黄


For the past 2o years of my life, I have actually wrote Yellow wrongly


Was teaching my niece how to write her chinese name and realised that the way she wrote her surname was different from mine. Then my sis-in-law told me that Huang should have extra line coming out from the word tian 田 . So for the past 20 years of my life, I wrote my surname wrongly or is it both way also can? Tr Liting, qin jie da haha =)

My niece is only 6 years old. She knows my chinese name but somehow she forgotten my name. She even said I'm Huang Gu Gu (how niece/nephew address their father's sibling) Dotz....
Then she explored my wallet and found my identity card. There she goes, Huang.. we shared the same surname, she asked me how to pronounce the 2nd word of my name. When comes to the last word, she's quite confident and pronounced it as 海 (Hai/sea) when it is supposed to be Mei 梅). 海 and 梅 haha, 有邊讀邊, 沒邊讀旁邊 .
