Sorry for the late reply. Wenli is my First name, and Zhang is my Last name / Family name. In the Chinese language, I'm called Zhang Wenli. I'm not sure whether I should be called Zhang Wenli or Wenli Zhang in English. English teachers would prefer Wenli Zhang. But the names on my credit cards and passport are all "Zhang Wenli". So generally I use Zhang Wenli to avoid misunderstandings.
Ovilia is my nickname online. I coined this name from Olivia since Ovilia sounds quite like "Oh, Wenli Ah!" in Chinese... In conclusion, I would prefer to be called Wenli or Ovilia. :) Zhang Wenli http://zhangwenli.com On Fri, Feb 22, 2019 at 10:44 PM Kevin A.
