the most common name in the world is xiao ming. everytime we write compos or zaoju we invoke his name. there's always one of them for any purpose, be it saving the world, passing/failing exams, helping old grannies cross the road, stopping evil terrorists, moralising, making out with girls...
or maybe he's some great demigod-like figure, and he's actually ONE person who's done all those things, and we're historians recording his great deeds for posterity xiao ming, the Everyman. his wife/girlfriend/fwen xiao li, his buddy/gang member/boyfriend xiao hua -> The omniprresent Trinity. occasionally he has a dog xiao gou or a cat xiao mao, but that's quite rare and they usually die early in the story He can run for elections, and probably beat even LKY. i mean, LKY wasn't a pwefect, LKY didn't get full marks, LKY didn't capture osama, LKY wasn't a war hero, LKY didn't vote for john kerry Maybe he can write self-help books. Put up giant communist posters with his brooding face staring down at the masses below, his index finger pointing upwards and his mouth seeming to say "all your base are belong to me". Unleash the xiao ming within you Somebody said that at 11:43 PM - x - - x -
