Either a glorious troll or a complete fucking idiot. Says he didn't realize the Brits had Hong Kong until '97 but a few posts later, after seeing evidence of said fact and agreeing with it, says "Well it was the Americans that give HK back to China, right?".

I have worked with some and they all have English names but Chinese last names. I was told but could not verify that each Chinese name has a literal translation to English, so that whatever Chinese name they are born with also ends up determining their English, which tends to be the name they go with when dealing with Westerners.
Anybody know if that's true? I had thought prior that Chinese simply just pick whatever the heck name they want when they go into business.
Hong. Kong. People.

pretty funny. A lot of times they use the literal translation from chinese for their English name and it's just funny. I can't read chinese, but I'm just guessing that's what happened there.
I doubt it.
considering my aunt's name is Shadow, I wouldn't doubt it unless you can actually read that.
Most Chinese seem to adopt Christian names when they move here. I always figured it was because their names were too difficult to pronounce properly. Chinese is supposedly grammatically similar to English but it's a tonal language. The same word can mean two completely different things depending on how you say it.
BAFS stands for business, account, and financial studies. It's a secondary school curiculum.
