Chinese students and English names (student takeover)

In this student takeover episode, Xu Junzhe (Cecilia) and Li Haoran (Miles) from Shenzhen College of International Education in China discuss the use of English names amongst Chinese students.

Cecilia says 'Together with my classmates, we’ve been reflecting on why many of us choose to adopt English names, how this influences our sense of identity, and whether it affects our connection to Chinese culture. In our conversation, we explore questions like:

Why do we use English names in the first place?
How do we feel about these names compared to our Chinese ones?
Does this practice influence our cultural identity or sense of belonging?
What sociological theories can help explain this phenomenon?
