I am doing a project about a family named Yang, and I'm looking for any information at all about them or their company. This is what I have been told by their son, who moved to Norway in 1960:
The father of the family was Frank Yang. He brought his two Malaysian Chinese wives to HK in 1949, although I think he also lived in Hong Kong before that. All together he had five wives at the same time. In 1950 he starts working for the British governor. Soon after he also started his own shipping company, which was later turned into a recruitment agency, with 9000 sailors they hired out to foreign companies. It was called Liang Kee & Co (良記行）
I suspect that some of the numbers given to me may have been a bit exaggerated, but I can't find proof that any of them ever having been in Hong Kong, which seems a bit strange.
In 1957, Frank Yang moved to Norway with one of the wives, but returned a decade later. in 1970, one of his sons sold the whole company and emigrated to America, leaving the family with a huge debt.
