Thanks for this.
I don't have the same last name as Bruce Lee, do I?
Luckily for me, the "Huang" part has been largely dropped. I think I only found out about it recently.
And "Wu" in Mandarin = "Mau" in Cantonese = "Vu" in Vietnamese. Incidentally, nobody in my family ever calls me "Mau" because, well, I don't speak Cantonese... What a mess.
