According Tony himself,this name was chosen by himself when he was only 4 years old just because he likes it very much~~

According to the IMDB TLCW's "alternate names" are Chui Wai Leung (Surely this is supposed to say "Chiu Wai Leung"?), Tony Leung, Zhaowei Liang and Leung Chiu Wai. Which one of these is is his Chinese name as opposed to his English name?

Hi Tony Obsessed,

Leung Chiu Wai - romanization for Cantonese - surname first.

Liang Chao Wei - romanization for Mandarin - surname first.


In the West, with surname last - it would be:

Chiu Wai Leung

Chao Wei Liang
