What the name means
The domain name sjrmdtjws is formed from the pinyin initials of the nine characters 世界人民大团结万岁 — Shì Jiè Rén Mín Dà Tuán Jié Wàn Suì, “Long Live the Great Unity of the Peoples of the World”.
The phrase comes from one of the two giant slogans hung on Tian'anmen Gate at the founding ceremony of the People's Republic of China on 1 October 1949. It still hangs there today, beside “Long Live the People's Republic of China”.
