赵力锐 (Lirui Zhao)
Pronunciation
Lirui is pronounced approximately as "Lee-ray".
Zhao is pronounced roughly as "Jao" (like "jow" in "cow").
赵 (Zhao) – My family name. One of the most ancient and common surnames in China.
力 (Li) – Means “strength” or “power.”
锐 (Rui) – Means “sharp,” “keen,” or “intelligent.”
Together, 力锐 symbolizes someone who is both strong and sharp — a person with strength of mind and clarity of thought.
In traditional Chinese philosophy, every name can reflect a person's elemental balance within the Five Elements (五行): Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth.
According to my birth chart (八字), I was found to be lacking Metal (金).
The character 锐 includes the radical "金" (metal), chosen to help harmonize and complement my elemental makeup.
Names carry meaning, intention, and heritage. By sharing the story behind mine, I hope to bridge cultures and invite curiosity across languages.
