The name as a symbol of a person's external communication, a nice name, really adds a lot of points! Just like the Japanese "skating prince" Habu Yusuke, who has recently aroused heated discussion, at this year's Winter Olympics, many people quipped: "One of the reasons why the Japanese player Yusei Yusuke can be loved by everyone is not only because of his near-perfect figure skating performance, but also because he has a heartwarming name." ”
This shows the importance of a name for a person; in 1914, a woman was born in an intellectual family in Changsha, Hunan Province, her birth immersed the Wang family in a field of joy, his father Wang Zhengquan looked at his young daughter full of love, he hoped that his palm pearl in the future everything can be smooth and smooth, so he used the "Book of Books."

Although the meaning of this name is very good, it is the name of the Shuxiang family at first glance, but it has invisibly brought great trouble to this little girl. When Wang Shuxi was 12 years old, her parents were gone; although she was in pain after losing her parents, she did not collapse; in 1927, with her excellent grades and good looks, she was admitted to the Shanghai Beauty School, where she began to study song, dance, and artistic performance. Li Jinhui, the founder of meimei school, attaches great importance to the characteristics of each student, and when Li Jinhui first saw this Wang Shuxi with thick eyebrows and big eyes and outstanding temperament, he felt that this girl would become a talent with a little training in the future.
However, Li Jinhui is very worried about the name of Wang Shuxi, because the art industry is most taboo about such a noble name, one is inconvenient for the audience to remember, and the other is that there may be a certain gap during the period of getting along with classmates; sure enough, when Wang Shuxi first enrolled, her name was too expensive, attracting the sneering of her classmates, plus she did not like to talk when she first arrived in the new environment, she gradually became the object of exclusion of classmates; therefore, for a long time, Wang Shuxi had no friends and felt lonely.

After Li Jinhui knew about this matter, he called Wang Shuxi to talk with him, and he gently said to Wang Shuxi: "Your name is good, but in the art industry, you need to change a more down-to-earth name, why not call wang Renmei?" At that time, Wang Shuxi wanted to learn song and dance well and integrate into the class, and she did not care much about the name, so she agreed to the suggestion of the principal Li Jinhui; after the name change, Wang Shuxi, who had a lot of connotations, became a Wang Renmei who could sing and dance, and she was not only mixed in the class, but also improved her performance method.
