Victory

Chi Seng Cheong
            Victory expresses success, right and power. All parents want their children to be winners. My name is Chi Seng. It means children and victory in Chinese. I was born on a stormy day. My parents beat the monster to the hospital to get me out, so it was my parents’ victory. They chose my name to commemorate the day.
According to Chinese tradition, boys are better than girls. Chinese people think boys can take responsibility for the whole family. They can be the leader. Therefore, in my generation every single male’s name starts by Chi in my family, since Chi means children in Chinese, and it reminds us that we cannot forget family. Also, Chinese people have their special roles to decide names. They think it should be appropriate according to the time of birth counting accurately to the hour that can change people’s destiny.

My name comes from my parents and from Chinese tradition. It is unique, and includes many meanings for me. I don’t want to change my name because it was a gift from my parents. I want to accept the destiny if it is real. My name encourages me to do better and better. It will be with me my whole life.
