Li Siguang Gao Shiqi Liu Xianzhou Peng Jiamu changed his name to a good story

The famous geologist Li Siguang, formerly known as Zhongyun. When he filled out the registration form for the middle school examination, he actually wrote the word "fourteen" in his age in the name column, and the result was that the registration form was invalid, and he could not receive the second one according to the regulations. In this way, he had to change the word "ten" on this registration form to the word "Li", but the "four" was not easy to change. It's called "Li Si" and it's not good. When he was in trouble, he suddenly saw a horizontal plaque hanging in the middle of the hall with several large characters engraved with "light by four tables", and he moved with a clever move, simply let the "four" word remain, and then added a "light" word, which became "Li Siguang" - the light was four tables, and the four sides were bright.

He hated the Kuomintang's corrupt and deceitful bureaucratic rule to the bone, resolutely abandoned his official post, and was employed by the semi-monthly magazine "Reading Life", focusing on the creation of popular science, changing his name to Gao Shiqi. He said to his friend, "Throw away people and don't become officials, and throw away gold is not for money."

Liu Xianzhou, a pioneer in mechanical engineering, was originally named Crane, the character Xianzhou, and in 1907, he changed his name to "Liu Zhenhua" (meaning "to revitalize China"). In 1924, he became the president of Beiyang University, one of the earliest engineering universities in China in 1924, but when Chiang Kai-shek's forces reached into the north, some people ostracized Liu Zhenhua, a member of the old alliance, and he resigned as president of Beiyang University in one breath, never cooperating with the Kuomintang. Unfortunately, because there was also an important person in the Kuomintang military circles at that time named "Liu Zhenhua", in order to avoid "Zhenhua" and "Zhenhua" being mistaken for one person, Liu Zhenhua changed his name to "Liu Xianzhou", and "Xianzhou" was the consonant of his word "Xianzhou". Since then, Liu Xianzhou has appeared on the scientific stage of our country with a new name.
