HEY SO.

I need a list of characters who are Chinese/of Chinese descent in English language texts. So far I have:

Jubilation Lee
Cho Chang
Huang (from SVU)
Isabella (from the recent Miami Vice movie)
Whoever Michelle Yeoh played in Tomorrow Never Dies


...


I would appreciate any and all assistance with this.

Deadwood: Wu
ER: Dr. Chen
Fast & the Furious: the biker gang in the first one, and possibly Han in the 3rd one (although he might be Korean-American)
Romeo Must Die: again, the Chinese triad guys, but also Jet Li's character
Entourage: Loyld (unspecified Asian, so not necessarily Chinese)
Rush Hour and Shanghai Noon: Jackie Chan's characters
Colonel Yu character in the recent "The Painted Veil" film adaptation
The magician Chung Ling Soo in "The Prestige"
Buffy: Chinese slayer
The Chinese servants and other immigrants in Laurie R. King's "Locked Room"
Kerry Greenwood's Phryne Fisher mysteries: Lin Chung

...that's all I have for now. Let me know about any you're not familiar with.

Er. that's meant to be "Lloyd", not "Loyld".

Oh, and also Benedict Wong's characters in Stephen Frear's "Dirty Pretty Things" (I things there's a fascinating exchange between him and Chiwetel Ejiofor's character about Chinese tea in it) and the BBC mini "State of Play".
