"Qiantu (the name is Chinese for Dragonfly)"
Small nit. "Qiantu" is not Chinese for "dragonfly." "Qiantu" (前途) means "future outlook", "prospects", or "journey."
For the record, "qingting" (蜻蜓) is the Chinese word for "dragonfly."

- paraditedc 8y agoWas going to comment the same thing. I don't see how or why the journalist could come up with this wrong translation. Maybe we are missing something here.

- paraditedc 8y agoThat explains it. In this case Dragonfly sounds more like a nickname rather than the official name. As seen in one of photos in the sohu link, the English spelling is Qiantu, not Dragonfly or Qingting.
