Given name for Doctor Jiang?

[clevermanka]

Can someone please tell me, do we ever get a given name for Doctor Jiang? I'm using him as a side character in a completely unrelated-to-this fandom story (sorry!).

Yes, people are allowed to ignore canon, but then why even care what the guy's name is since it's pretty difficult to find.

I am not sure if you're aware of this, but the official release of the Trapped DVDs have English subtitles on them, and they have his name down as "Jiang Jin-tang". You can see a screenshot of episode 10 below where Tang Yi uses his full name.



Incidentally, his name also isn't hard to find, it's in the ending credits.

If the props have his name down using Tongyong, and the official English subtitles lean more toward Hanyu pinyin, guess what, both are valid romanization schemes.

The discussion on romanization is ending here. This community does not tolerate anybody attacking or undermining other fans for using a perfectly valid romanization system. Consider this a warning.

I apologize. I often argue myself into a corner.

I do want to say that I was trying to contribute in a positive way by posting the screenshot. I guess that didn't work.

Coming into a comm with an argument--especially that approach--isn't a great way to introduce yourself, no, so thank you for the apology!

As a naturally kinda-abrasive person myself I have a bit of experience with that. I'd be happy to offer suggestions on how to better integrate yourself into a group of people without arguing yourself into a corner (or right out the door). If you're interested in learning better ways to make your point without alienating people, I could offer suggestions if you're interested.

Apology accepted! We all make mistakes. It just came off a lot strong, especially since we haven't seen you around before. I'm also very allergic to telling people a right or wrong way to do fannish things, so that kind of hit everybody's buttons.

But you know what, it's okay. Let's start over ad try again. Come and hang out and be encouraging and fun with us!
