Lawrence's world starts spinning the moment he sees his high school enemy on the college campus in Galloway. He disliked his new surroundings already - the people were far too low class and the town way too busy - but at least the high school days were over, and his childhood friend Nicholas got assigned to be his roommate. And now? Now the one who bullied him throughout high school is here, and will probably torment him all over again. And Nicholas, while being a true friend, is as annoying as ever. However, as time passes, Nicholas and Lawrence learn more about each other...and there's no way Nicholas would let anyone harm his dear friend. Fearing that this old high school friend could be a bad influence on Lawrence, Nicholas does his best to keep them away from each other, and a study abroad program announced by the University seems like the perfect opportunity for that - until it becomes the exact opposite.
This book is the first basic tool in English to trace the origins of Chinese surnames. At the heart of the work are three principal chapters. Chapter 1 describes the history of Chinese surnames, the research on Chinese surnames in literature, and reasons surnames have changed in Chinese history. Chapter 2, by far the largest of the chapters, delivers a genealogical analysis of more than 600 Chinese surnames. Chapter 3 consists of an annotated bibliography of Chinese and English language sources on Chinese surnames. The work concludes with separate indexes to family names, authors, titles, and Chinese-character stroke numbers (one mechanism used for grouping Chinese characters).
