Looking for help to type these Chinese names

Primary tabs

Submitted by David on Tue, 2015-05-19 18:27

The names below are members of the BAAG that Elizabeth Ride has provided information on. One of the difficulties in tracking mentions of these individuals is that their names aren't always spelled the same way in English.

The Chinese characters stay the same though, so if you can type Chinese, please could you help type a few of the names below that Elizabeth has sent? Then I'll cut and paste the characters onto their page on Gwulo.

Thanks & regards, David

Romanised name & notes from Elizabeth Chinese characters
1. Percy Cheng
2. William Cheng.  When anglicised, I have seen his characters read as "Cheng Wai Lim".
3. Bill Chong.  His anglicised characters were said to read "Kong Chun Hong" [?]. I have also seen "Chong Gun".  
4.  Lee Lup. From the list of HK Chinese Regiment who joined the BAAG.. 
5. Chan Hon Kee.  From the list of Chinese Regiment who joined the BAAG. 
6. Wu Wing.  From the list of Chinese Regiment who joined the BAAG. 
7. Loie Fook Wing.  This is a note written by Paul Tsui on a little Post-it.  Difficult handwiritng, but it says "Police Reserve killed in prison in HK".  "See pge 106 of Edwin's book"
8. Lui Kar Yin.  Paul Tsui notes he is the same man as Lui Kar Yan 
9. Ma Nai Kwong alias Nelson Ma
10. Ng Tak Cheung
   
12. Tse Dickuan

Hi tngan and David, 1. Percy Cheng: I think the second character is a combination of the left side of 顯 and right side of 維. Is there such a Chinese character? 2. William Cheng: second character looks like 淮 to me. 3. The image does not load. 12. Tse Dickuan: second character is 滌.

Hi T & C,

That's just what I was looking for, thank you!

I've left 1, 2, and 12 to wait for your decisions on them.

I'll add in the characters for 3 if they become available.

I've copied the other names to the relevant person's page (see http://gwulo.com/list-of-person?tid=BAAG&title_1=), except for 13 - 16 which I've inserted into the two statements at http://gwulo.com/comment/30861#comment-30861 and http://gwulo.com/node/23805

Regards, David

Hi there, Yes, I was meant to type Tse Dickuan 謝滌君 but it would seem made a typo trying and didn't realize it. For William Cheng, yes, it looks like a 淮 there. I am uncertain about Percy Cheng now. Thanks & Best Regards, T

Hi tngan and David,

Thank you, tngan!  For (1) Percy Cheng, I am not even sure if what was written is a proper character.  Would Ms. Ride have another document with his name in Chinese?

David, I still cannot see the image for (3) Bill Chong.

Thanks again for your help. I'll add in the names for 2 & 12. I received the following from Elizabeth:

I found the attached rather indistinct copy of a testimonial to Bill Chong which includes his name in Chinese characters.  (The original apparently hangs in the Canadian Veterans Association).  I hope it is distinct enough for someone to decipher.  I see that both C and TNgan have been very helpful.  I will try to find more about Percy Cheng.

Bill Chong Testimonial

You are welcome!  Bill Chong = 鄭根

There is a Chinese Canadian Military Museum in Vancouver, Canada.  Would the testimonial be there?

Good monrning, C.  I will keep looking for another example of Percy Cheng's Chinese name.  In the meantime I have posted his statement about his rescue of  Dr Scriven's escaping party after their attack by bandits.  This is under Percy Cheng's name (http://gwulo.com/node/18677).  The Canadian Veteran's Association (for Bill Chong's testimonial) you mention is the most lileky, as Bill lived in Vancouver.  EMR.
