New page

The Shu (or Xu) family is a family of Chinese origin, living in Hamilton.

== Members ==

* [[David Shu]], or ''Shu Dawei'' (蜀大卫, simplified or 蜀大衛, traditional)
* Simon Shu, or ''[[Xu Xi Meng]]'' (魆西蒙)
* David's mother
* David's older sister

== Family name ==

The [[Shu family]] has been westernized for long enough that it has forgotten the origin of its family name. There are two possible transliterations of the family name: "Shu" or "Xu". The difference in pronunciation between the two is somewhat subtle, and pronunciation may have shifted over the generations from the original Chinese name. David Shu has always used the glyph 蜀, meaning "Sichuan Province", but his father has taken to using 魆, meaning "Beguile" or "Enchant". There are other possible origins for the name:
