That can cause no end of confusion when Mas get together, especially if those Mas also share the same given name, as many Chinese do.Ma Chengs book-loving grandfather came up with an elegant solution to this common problem.

Seeking to modernize its vast database on Chinas 1.3 billion citizens, the governments Public Security Bureau has been replacing the handwritten identity card that every Chinese must carry with a computer-readable one, complete with color photos and microchips. The new cards are harder to forge (伪造) and can be scanned at places like airports where security is a priority.The bureaus computers, however, are programmed to read only 32,252 of the roughly 55,000 Chinese characters according to a government report.
