Name badge

At many scenic spots, you can find peddlers selling rows of small badges bearing Chinese surnames. Tourists who happen to find their own surnames would often spend money for the badge. A name is but a code to identify a person. But people always have enthusiasm to learn about anything related with their names. A human normally lives for less than 100 years, but most people aspire to leave their names for generations to remember. In many Chinese tourist spots, it is common to see visitors carving their names on columns, trees and rocks. The name badge is a souvenir that one can bring home. Lovers, for example, can exchange their name badges as a token of love.
