I've NEVER thought that you know China so well. And to my huge surprise, you 
can cook a very 
acceptable Cantonese-style or Szechuan-style meal. And you can write Chinese 
character with Chinese Brush? You are so versatile!

I have a intense willing to enjoy your meal, ha ha, if I have chance.

Actually, Chinese characters are all monosyllables, except several special 
characters, eg: a character that means KiloWatt. And Chinese words may consist 
one or more characters. So a word may not be monosyllables. Unlike most of 
western languages, there is a space between words, In Chinese, there is no any 
spaces between words or characters. So the auto-correction doesn't work with 
Chinese in openoffice.org writer. Because it always waiting for a space or a 
punctuation to start work. In fact, just as you think, my name is consist of 3 
characters, the first is family name, and the rest 2 characers is my name, so I 
put the 2 syllables together.

Very glad to know you. And welcome to China if you have a chance. I'm sure 
there are more intersting things you want to know in China.

Best regards,
Zhu Lihua

I took it as "Zhu Li Hua" actually...

:) I was actually aware of that... Also that Chinese words are all 
monosyllables, hence choosing Li as your personal name (I can also write 
about a dozen Chinese characters, with a brush as well! And I cook a very 
acceptable Cantonese-style or Szechuan-style meal :) ).

China is a *very* interesting country. IMO...
