Is this the chinese equivilent of ? John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koneko Posted December 7, 2006 at 12:13 PM Report Share Posted December 7, 2006 at 12:13 PM That's right it's her name - Crystal (perhaps?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnmck Posted December 7, 2006 at 05:14 PM Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2006 at 05:14 PM Yep, that's it. I sent my correspondant an email asking him what it meant and he told me it was his name. We had always corresponded in English before and he always gave his name as Ching. It didn't click that this might mean "jing" 晶. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
