吴 (wu) can make all kinds of mischief in combination with other things. I had one student named 吴名, no name.
鱼 (fish) is a very common character in girls' names, actually. I know a 黄鱼.

June 20, 2009, 07:05 AMAnother famous Dongbei dish is 锅暴肉, breaded pork slices in a sweet and sour sauce. But, it is almost as often written 锅包肉 and I have also seen 锅巴肉. I am pretty sure these are all the same dish, can anyone confirm?

Is crying from happiness still 哭 ?
I got 'don't cry' 不哭
and 'go ahead and cry' - 想哭、 就哭
but what if someone is crying from happiness and you want to say something like 'let it out, crying from happiness is an amazing feeling'? 想哭、 就哭, seems a little off.
