Hmm, sorry about the confusing.

I am a Chinese, I coined that first name a couple years ago when I decided to have a unique name across the web. My real name is "郑文辉" in Chinese，translate to English by its pronucation is "Wenhui Zheng"，which means "Zheng" is acturally my real last name. The first name "Wenhui" does not have any meaning in English, so I coined it by "Tech" + "Live", which I interprate it as "Technological Living", thus, "Techlive Zheng" is the name I am currently using online.

Here are some links:

* Let the code talks. https://github.com/techlivezheng
* I cross the great GFW to use twitter. https://twitter.com/techlivezheng
* Also search "Techlive Zheng" in Google, the result should be unique to me.

So, no doubt, I am a real person, just with kind of an uncommon name.

>> Thanks.
