The origin of astro boy

The first time I heard of Astro Boy, it should be around junior high school. I can't remember clearly. It's a character in an cartoon, but I haven't seen it because I don't have this condition. I got it from chatting with my playmates. I know he is a dynamic boy, full of positive energy.

After a long time, the name fell asleep in my memory. He re-entered my life when I was a graduate student. I remember that it was the summer of the second year of graduate students, and an interesting thing happened on the badminton court in the greenhouse of the plant virus room of China Agricultural University, which is still fresh in my memory. In peacetime, the brothers and sisters in the laboratory get together, carrying badminton and volleyball of uneven quality and playing doubles in random combination. The process is wonderful. I can't remember who was sweating, who shouted, who laughed and who whispered. I only remember that I paired randomly and won 12 games in a row. Finally, the beautiful day ended with everyone exhausted. For a period of time, he won the title of "Astro Boy".

After a long time, I graduated with a doctorate. Go abroad and be a postdoctoral fellow in Maryland. My daughter was born and named Amy for two reasons. First of all, we know very few English names. Secondly, we think that Amy should be compared before the exam in the general alphabetical name sorting, which can be accompanied by the natural sorting of children before the exam. After that, a son was born. What's his name? Because my sister came first, my son's name became very interesting. I think we should start with A, but I'm not satisfied with a lot of research. Suddenly I think of Astro Boy, which means atom in English and atom in Chinese. My surname is Yuan. This is very interesting. Therefore, my son's English name is Atom, which has multiple meanings. My son is full of positive energy, beautiful meaning and natural parental bond.

My son is as energetic as his name. So when I added a nickname to WeChat, I used "Astro Boy's Dad".

This is some interesting things about Astro Boy that happened in my life. Astro boy's story continues, and he has been giving himself a good hint in his heart that positive energy is moving forward.
