Acknowledgment
For the completion of this website from scratch, my gratitude goes to a local software engineer, Brock Dilley. His professional guidance enabled me to design and complete constructing the site within four months. Please visit Mr. Dilley's website for his professional works. I appreciate his suggestion to provide summaries for each piece of Wong's writings.
I also want to thank George Chen for giving me the initial impetus in January 2024 to start this long postponed project. I am also grateful for his advice on design at its early stage and the suggestion of providing a note regarding the Chinese hexagram symbols used on this website.
These hexagram symbols as shown on the pages of Fiction, Poetry, Essays, Literary Thoughts, and Miscellaneous are included to promote general interest for the intellectual richness of traditional Chinese culture. Originated in the classic text I Ching/Yijing 易经 (Book of Changes), the Chinese hexagrams represent profound philosophical concepts that have continued being studied and practiced in contemporary Chinese communities around the world. Correspondingly, embracing these complex hexagrams on this website serves as a way to encourage close reading of the selected works to appreciate the literary prolificacy, aesthetic quality, and historical value of James Poy Wong's writings. The images of the hexagrams are taken from the Wikimedia Commons.
Disclaimer & Privacy
Any errors and flaws on translation, romanization, and pending interpretation of Wong's writings are solely mine.
Besides a few pictures of Wong that are taken from personal collection, other images included on the website contain proper source citation or are those personally created from Creative Commons images.
Due to my lack of prior experience in web development, there are still a few minor, inconsistent features throughout the website, including failure in standardizing how Chinese fonts appear across different browsers and devices. For better visual presentation, Google Chrome and desktop view are recommended.
