Not only did he change his name, but he also changed his surname. There must be some stories hidden behind Mao's difficulty in changing his name, but we don't know exactly what the story is, but netizens have a lot of speculations about it. Some people speculate that his parents are divorced, so he changed his name. Some people speculate that his family is a senior official, so he will change his name and surname in order not to be discovered after he became famous, but only Mao is not easy to know the specific reason.
When I first heard Mao's name, everyone must feel very strange. Does this name have a moral? Many people think that it may be because his parents had him when they were very old, so they think that he is hard-won, so he is called Mao Bu Yi, but this is not the case. Mao Bu Yi's name was changed by himself when he was in junior high school. His original name was Wang Weijia, which is actually quite normal, and many people call him Mao Bu Yi.
He himself said that it was not easy for him to change his name because he wanted to be ordinary, but it was not easy to change it. From this name, it can be seen that Mao is indeed a young man with great personality, but it is normal to change his name. Why did he change his surname? It's very important for us in China to take the surname, because it's something left by our ancestors. Changing the surname is a kind of disrespect to our ancestors, so under normal circumstances, we will definitely not change it easily, so everyone says that he is a man with a story.
So all kinds of speculations have emerged, mainly the two versions I mentioned earlier. The first one I think is possible, but the second one I think is impossible, because Mao was a nurse before he started his career, and he didn't know that he would be famous. How could he change his surname?
