Love it so far

In this episode the story of Meng Jiang Nv (孟姜女) was mentioned. Her last name is not “Meng”. She is not Lady “Meng”. Yes we Chinese put our last name before our first name, but back then “Meng” simply meant “eldest child”, and “Meng Jiang Nv” meant the oldest female child of family Jiang. Her last name was Jiang (姜).
