Talk:John Shying

Chinese characters
His surname, Mak, is probably spelled 麥. Not sure about the other two syllables. Badagnani 03:02, 7 August 2007 (UTC)


 * His signature is on his wedding certificate which is on a picture on page. I understand the characters are an older form of chinese script ;) DDB 07:35, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

Looks like the third character is 英. That's an easy one because it's also the Chinese word for "English." Badagnani 16:01, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

Got the third one: 世.

So the name is 麥世英. Badagnani 16:09, 7 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Yes it is 麥世英 -- ran (talk) 17:57, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
