Are ID 3649 and ID 3999 the same person ?<br><br>The B&W poster of Brave Archer II, in the hkmdb poster section, seems to indicate this to be the case.<br><br>

Thanks !<br><br>This is another example of confusion over Chinese names, and a pronounced understanding gap. There are a number of acrors who are known by different names but are the same person (e.g. Lydia Shum / Fei Fei, Jackie Chan / Sing Lung). Also, different actors who have the same names (e.g. Kirk Wong and Victor Wong - identical Chinese names).<br><br>The gap comes here - it is that most non-Chinese would never even think to ask if such-and-such a name was the same person as so-and-so, whereas to a Chinese viewer (or a savvy outsider), it would be so obvious that the question would never arise. Inside this gap, there is much missing info !<br><br>It is one of my hopes that those who know this sort of info will add it, en masse, to hkmdb, and help the rest of us out.<br><br>Add what ? Well, alternative people's names, such as Nau Nau / Tien Niu, would be a great help, for a start. Especially where, like in this case, they were listed on separate pages, and appeared for all the world as diffrent folks....<br><br>
