What is "zhong guo"  ?

I do not know how the term "Zhong Guo" was translated into "China". There must be a history in it.

Interesting is the word "Zhong".

Zhong is not a leader. Zhong is not like the East or the West; they all have connotations of direction. Travelers head toward the East or the West, but the word Zhong does not convey a sense of direction. There is no point of “Zhong” on your compass.

This reflects the basic attitude of  the Chinese people.  They do not regard themselves as leaders. It is part of their culture and history.

Zhong means a place in the middle. It is a place between the left and the right, or between the East and the West.

How would you feel living in a place like this?

You need to feel it by your own experience.....
