Great story! We flew from Shijiazhuang to Xi'an with Southern. We found that the Chinese are very conscious of names & numbers. Everything is lucky or unlucky. That name is obviously revered which makes it 'lucky'. The Room Monkey's wedding festivities had to start at precisely 9 AM & the wedding at precisely 11 AM. And their fear of the number 4 is really obsessive. Here in NA chopsticks come in packages of 4 but in China they are always in 5s . . . etc, etc.

You will be amazed. Head to your nearest Chinese consulate for a visa.
