My name

Byron:

Instead of being an obedient technician solely for the sake of power or money, an intellectual should always try to be a "trouble maker". Challenging dogmas, exposing lies and pointing out injustices, under the cloud of the necessary and unpleasant consequence of being "unpopular", and in some circumstances the threat of imprisonment or death.


That's the hidden reason for me to call myself --- outlaw, I seldom tell others except I feel that he shares a similar view. Nearly all people I met asked why I choose such a bad word to be my name, apparently, they are very far away from being an intellectual. Although I am also one of them, at least I have observed the way, and used an implicit method to tell those intellectual around me, my belief --- aware of the suffering before going to challenge the dogmas.

I must thank byron for the lines quoted above. I myself should have no chance to write in such a clear way to explain my thought.
