Resident Letter - Wendy TsangWhat is a dame? A name is a form of unique address, and one that
makes life and communication much easier day to day. To bestow a name
upon another is even more so important. In giving a name we place upon
the person our hopes and our affection; and to wish them a wonderful and
successful future.
Over twenty years ago I moved to the City of Rosemead and found
its name lovely. However, I felt the words, rhyme, and meaning of the
corresponding Chinese name was far- fetched. Despite the name Tit,' - ` } '',
having no official connection, it frequently appears in various newspapers
with many different ways to write it in Chinese. Aside from visual clutter,
many would take it as just something to laugh at on the side.
The City of Rosemead has already went through many tough times
and worked extremely hard to get to where it is now. It can be said that
have improved, many know what this city is. However I hope to attract even
more people to live, spend and invest in Rosemead. As a result the City of
Rosemead will do more and do even better for our residents, consumers,
and investors.
Seeing as how it is a great English name, we need an equally vibrant
and clear Chinese name to leave a deep impression on people of our
Rosemeadf w.
u, — Which means generosity, kindness, and benevolence
S_( �TT — Used as a conjunction meaning "this" or showing emphasis; can
A also mean refined..
Which means deep, dense, close relationships among other good
meanings
I hope that Rosemead fi w' , the name, is a metaphor for
neighborhoods in harmony and businesses in prosperity.
The above is just a bit of my thoughts. If one has even better
interpretations or even a wholly different idea, feel free to share. Let our
city receive its proper name as soon as possible.
