At local time on 1st November, 2022, Guoqi Kang, the teacher from the CI at Southampton University, was invited by Michael Bastin, a teacher at the Winchester School of Art, to conduct a seminar entitled "The Pronunciation and Meaning of Chinese Names". This lecture was held through the Microsoft Teams platform, and the number of registrations before the lecture reached 54.

The Chinese name is not only a symbol of family blood inheritance, it expresses the wishes of parents, and carries the expectations of the elders. It is also the embodiment of Chinese ideals, aesthetic tastes, and beliefs. It is the charm of Chinese characters using the shape, sound and meaning of Chinese characters Unique way of inheriting Chinese culture. In recent years, with the increase of Chinese students at the University of Southampton, many teachers hope to accurately call the names of Chinese students and understand the meaning behind them, so as to express their interest in Chinese culture, and hope that Chinese students can get more attention and humanistic care.
