"Then let's just call it the Li Element as you suggested," Li Jiangao said after pondering for a moment.
There were two reasons: first, it was the suggestion Qiao Ze had publicly made earlier that day. Who knows how many people filmed the wedding; as the videos spread in the future, it will also make it easier for everyone to remember.
Thinking of the video, they would be able to recall the name of the element quite well.
The second reason was that Li is a common surname in Huaxia, so later, when those battery companies, car manufacturers, and smartphone makers start to fiercely promote this new element, he wouldn't feel too embarrassed.
There are plenty of people surnamed Li; everyone can share in this bit of good fortune, which is quite nice.
