Yuen Qiu: the mystery continues

I am getting confused here...

We have a new entry for Wong Jing film KUNG FU MAHJONG 2...
http://hkmdb.com/db/movies/view.mhtml?i ... ay_set=eng

...that lists Yuen Qiu under her Cantonese name "Yuen Chau". When you click on the Yuen Chau name, you end up here...

http://hkmdb.com/db/people/view.mhtml?i ... ay_set=eng

...which is the page that used to be credited to "Lee Yuen Fung" (per my notation in another thread). However, when you backtrack to the KUNG FU MAHJONG review here...
http://hkmdb.com/db/movies/view.mhtml?i ... ay_set=eng

...Yuen Qiu is still there as "Kan Chia Fong", with a link that places you at the following location if you click...

http://hkmdb.com/db/people/view.mhtml?i ... ay_set=eng

I am getting very dizzy and confused; can someone clear all of this up for me? It seems we now have two Yuen Qius (Yuen Chaus)...or have I confused myself by clicking all those links? Should the two people be merged (as I don't remember myself Yuen Qiu the actress ever directing a film -- of course, my knowledge doesn't extend back as far as the seventies and very early eighties, so I could be in error on that count)? Or are they two different people and one has been amended where the editor who did so wasn't aware of Yuen's old Mandarin alias?

Anyways, hope this helps in some way and someone can make sense of it all,
Mike :shock:

Oh dear, that is a mess :(

I would guess that the Yuen Chau who presented one film and directed another is NOT the Yuen Qiu/Kan Chia-Fong in Kung Fu Hustle etc. I don't know which the actor in Revenge Of Angel should be - it's 5 years after Yuen Qiu's last credit (before KFH), but it's not impossible she made a guest appearance...

Since it was a new release, I think Ryan initially submitted this...
