Yim Chung = Yee Ming

[Bruce]

Michael Kistner and I believe that Yee Ming
http://hkmdb.com/db/people/view.mhtml?i ... ay_set=eng
is an alias for Yim Chung
http://hkmdb.com/db/people/view.mhtml?i ... ay_set=eng

We have 6 films with Yee Ming in the cast list ("New Fist of Fury", "Shaolin Devil and Shaolin Angel", "Vengeance of Snow Maid", "Desperate Avenger", "Big Brother", and "Morning Fog"). In each of those films, Yim Chung can be seen in a part big enough that he should be credited, but Yim Chung is not in that on-screen cast list. If nobody objects in one week, we would like to merge the two names, and make Yee Ming an alias for Yim Chung.
These are the current acting credits for Yee Ming in the HKMDB:
Black Invitation (1969)
The Infatuated Persons (1970)
Vengeance of Snow-Maid (1970)
Rebirth of Love (1970)
The Magic Bowl (1970)
Family Love (1970)
Legends of Cheating (1971)
The Decisive Battle (1972)

Yi Ming is now again in the hkmdb:

Because all movies are already listed also at Yim Chung I delete the name Yi Ming (2) soon if nobody objects.

Both names have different birth years listed - but it is for sure the same person.

Never ending story:

Now I think Yee Ming and Yim Chung are TWO DIFFERENT PERSONS.
HKFA lists different birth dates and in "Kung Fu of Dammoh Style" (with Yee Ming in the credits) appear in my opinion BOTH ACTORS (I don't think he plays two different roles) - see my new images:

For those with short memory retention - me.

[Michael Kistner]

Thank you. I was too lazy

[Gaijin84]

I'm bad at these things, but I am pretty sure those are the same person... same nose, same distinct brow furrow feature. I think he is actually clean-shaven and they put different fake beards and mustaches on him for roles. My vote is merge, but it should probably only count as a 1/2 vote since I'm usually incorrect.

[dleedlee]

I can't see any differences between the two sets either. They look the same to me - or extremely similar.

[Michael Kistner]

My main point is the different birth dates in the HKFA and I think in "Kung Fu of Dammoh Style" are both actors. I would be happy if I can find a movie with both in one scene or both names in the credits

That is the opinion of another fan not in the hkmdb:

"Yen Chung has more rounded eyes and a snub nose,
I Ming rather a hooked nose and slanted eyes."

[dleedlee]

Based on the two HKFA entries, I'd suggest re-splitting again.

Also, according to this bio of Yee Ming
http://baike.baidu.com/view/2507434.htm
Born in China, worked in Taiwan TV including 350 episodes as Justice Bao.

Yee Ming is also credited with Heart with a Million Hearts (1973)

So that means that this Yi Ming can be merged with Yee Ming.

It is not easy to see the difference only looking on the images.
Yi Ming seems to be the more powerful actor

I split the names after some days if no one objects.

Thank you for your contribution.

Is it possible that the images tagged as Yim Chung are not correct, i.e., it's really Yee Ming?
Scanning the HKFA credits, most of Yim Chung's films have no roles attached. Looking at the 1964 image from Lover's Rock, it's hard to imagine him aging into the later images. Just a thought.

update:
Found this fuzzy image of Yim Chung, as the king, on left, and shopkeeper below, from a tv series Legend of white snake

The Yim Chung ID is correct. At the moment are of course many images on the Yim Chung hkmdb entry images of Yee Ming. The images shown at the forum should be properly assigned.

Added another Yim Chung image to the database:
