Tips

culture

Yingxiu (映秀镇 / 英秀, Sichuan) was the epicenter of the 12 May 2008 Wenchuan earthquake — the town was largely destroyed and later rebuilt as a memorial site. Note: the official name is usually written 映秀; 英秀 also appears as a personal name and as a Chinese rendering of Korean Young-soo (영수).

memory

英 (outstanding/hero) + 秀 (elegant/excellent) — both characters are favorable, making 英秀 a flattering given name.
