Talk:Trương Mỹ Lan

張美蘭
Is this not accurate? This was removed by with this edit. However the article states her husband is from Hong Kong. So it would not be unusual for her name to also be rendered Hong Kong style, with traditional Chinese and Chinese-Latin transcription, if she ever resided there or had residency rights. And given that this article, before the death sentence was handed down, stated that she was of Chinese ethnic derivation, it would possible that her parents gave her a Chinese name, given she was born before the reunification of Vietnam, in South Vietnam , before the departure of the Boat People. Can we confirm if she is of the Hoa people? -- 65.92.247.66 (talk) 20:44, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Theoretically, she could be Cheung Mei-Lan in Hong Kong, and Zhang Meilan in pinyin; though I don't have references, as this derives from the Chinese 張美蘭 that was originally in the article, and not some source otherwise. -- 65.92.247.66 (talk) 21:01, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
 * At the time of my edits I didn't see any connection to Hong Kong/China other than her husband. I guess with that ref back in you could restore it. Pieceofmetalwork (talk) 07:05, 12 April 2024 (UTC)

Lan
added by with this edit  says that her given name is "Lan", shouldn't this say "Mỹ Lan" ? Wouldn't Lan be the personal diminutive used by close friends and family? -- 65.92.247.66 (talk) 21:12, 11 April 2024 (UTC)


 * This is according to custom, see for example Nguyễn Xuân Phúc, Phạm Nhật Vượng, Trần Đại Quang. Pieceofmetalwork (talk) 07:09, 12 April 2024 (UTC)
