[quote name="Choson"][quote name="Lurker Shoomoser"][quote]...he goes from 'Chinese Martin Scorsese' to '<a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0235060/">Chinese Roman Polanski</a>'...D'OH! (Also: yes, she is hotter than Gong Li was. He calls her Li Gong, he calls the director of Crouching Tiger Lee Ang, and the Fight Choreographer Yuen Wo-ping, and he corrected me if I used the Americanized pronounciation. Weird guy.)[/quote] Chinese put their surnames first, then the given names. "Gong" will be the surname, and "Li" will be the given name, so suppposedly she is called Gong Li. You should just call that Chinese programmer of yours a FAG, because he clearly likes to have things backwards. OTOH the other two names are what they should be, Lee Ang and Yuen Wo-ping ("Lee" and "Yuen" being their surnames respectively).[/quote] YEAH what a fag! ... or more likely he just thought her last name was the same Li as Ang Lee's, rather than the relatively less common Gong (鞏).[/quote]
