Mark Chung

Given name Mark, maternal name Jenewein, paternal name is in a non-phonetic language system ensuing the unfortunate inconvenience of a futile process of romanization. His family name, by applying three common translinguistic systems used in close geographical, cultural, linguistic and political proximity with the tongue Mark grew up with, could be Zung1 (JyutPing Romanization by the Linguistic Society of Hong Kong published in 1993); or Tsung (Meyer–Wempe Romanization, a translinguistic system developed by Roman Catholic Missionaries in late 19th century Hong Kong); or Jāng (Yale Romanization of Cantonese circulated among some non-Cantonese speaking academia since the 1950s). That said, a simplified version of the Standard Romanization for Cantonese (a system used by Christian Missionaries in the 1880s) was implemented by the authority of the Hong Kong government and gave him the family name “Chung”.

Mark Chung (b. 1990 Auckland, New Zealand) is an artist working and living in Hong Kong.
