Mark Chung 鍾正
/Mark Chung (b. 1990 Auckland, New Zealand) is an artist who lives in Hong Kong.
Given name Mark, maternal name Jenewein, paternal name is in a non-phonetic language system ensuing ensuring 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 colonial government and gave him the family name “Chung”.
鍾正,乳名麥奇,洋名馬克鍾;庚午年於奧克蘭出世,祖籍東莞、外婆提洛人,香港成長;自幼受霧霾所困,別號無國界病夫。外表粗率,實體質柔弱、心思繁細;性情乖戾、喜怒無常。剛由阿姆斯特丹回港,立志全身投入藝術,卻迷離徜仿、愁長夢多。
