English language is linear. The

characters makes Chinese people
stronger in holistic thinking.
Just look at my Chinese name 'Wei

Shanghai gave me.

communicate the meaning holistically while English words are just a
sequence of letters. →
My Chinese name 'Wei Di'
is a derivative from 'Vadim'.
It means 'Great Emperor'

to Chinese people, for them this
is not a secret at all. It is
obvious to them that I used a
holistic approach and harmonized
