@NZChineseGenealogy @aligorith The way I grew up, with almost no one ever calling each other by their names, I find it incredibly abrasive and presumptuous to be addressed by my Chinese name by anyone who isn't close family. Quite a different practice from what's now become normal in the Chinese-speaking countries. I've been told more than once that we NZ Chinese are incredibly old-fashioned because we've maintained quite a lot of imperial-era norms without realising it.
