		The ideograph for Wong / Huang consists of the radicals of "twenty", "fires" and "fields," all representing the color of these images combined.

	The Name
		Wong's surname and middle name, though they may be taken from the infamous Chinese action star, are unique words with meanings in their own right.
		While there are several differnt meanings for the words 'Yun' and 'Fat', after careful deliberation I concluded that, since Wong is from Neo Hong Kong and the Cantonese dialect of the Chinese language is most prevalently spoken there, that his last name should follow the Cantonese translation.
		The name of Wong creates a quick, analytical, and clever mind; you are creative, versatile, original, and independent.

		The most obvious difference is that Reeves took his white stepfather's surname after early separation from his natural father.
		Russell should have done like his brother Michael Wong, a major star in Hong Kong films and learned Chinese and I am sure he would have been had better luck there then he would had in Hollywood, at least it maybe it would have paved a path for him, like it did Chow Yun-Fat.
		Russell Wong has succeeded and could continue to succeed in affecting the sterotypes of Asian men in the media, and putting himself on the same playing field as the Brad Pitts and Tom Cruises of the world.

		As you might know already in anglicised Cantonese, it is difficult to distinguish between the two Wong surname.
		In regards to Wong Kee Lee, it would be helpful for you to discover a document which shows his name or your grandfather's name in Chinese characters so that you will know whether he was a (king) Wong or a (yellow) Wong.
		Stanley Wong's hypothesis that your grandfather came from Taishan in Sze Yap district cannot be ruled out either.
