ID of Patrick Kong

First image of Patrick Kong added.

Should his main name be changed from Ye Nianchen to Patrick Kong? That's the name they credit him with in Dragon Reloaded.

I think he's credited that way in LOVE IS NOT ALL AROUND as well, and I seem to recall a few writing credits appearing that way too. Perhaps someone can check some of his other projects to see if either name represents a majority?

Some search results:

1. 葉念琛's real name is 江柏樑

2. This indicates 葉念琛 = Patrick KONG Pak Leung (see 5. Circle (連環扣)

3. And a not too clear photo of him found here

Wow. Nice detective work, Fan! :D

Since his name appears so frequently—in the English portion of the credits, at least—as Patrick Kong, I'm now wondering which of the two Chinese names turns up most often in the credits. This "Ye Nian Chen" name must have originated somewhere for us to have it here, and I've even seen couple of reviews where it popped up (can't remember the movies, though). Does Ye Nian Chen have some "other" meaning, like a clever alias or something? That is, assuming Kong Pak-leung is the real name. . . Weird. :?

He's popular I guess so there're quite some material available from the internet.

IMO, Kong Pak-Leung is a cool name, at least not as common as "Ah Keung" "Ah Wah" :P Not sure if "Ye Nian Chen" has any stories behind but will try to check it tonight. :)

I will change his main name in a few days if no one objects.
