    funny.... so donnie's the bad boy type? heard most asians usualy get bullied when they are new to a caucasian country..maybe thats why he tried to attack those whites...

    well, you see, it's sorta this run down apartment building between highways and chinatown, with mice and cockroaches.. so i don't think many people really like living there if there's other alternatives. especially at that time, it was a neighborhood where you wouldn't want to leave your car. and you don't talk to the friendly "ladies" that want to show you a good time.

    and the story goes that he was a trouble maker and liked to pick fights. and his mom started him in kungfu to keep him busy. but when he started to learn, he was a showoff, and picked fights with his new skills.

    But who knows...did he really get beat up? I mean...he is strong.
    and i think this was when he was still young. he started in hk in his 20s? so this must have been when he was a teenager or early 20s.

    His wife Cissy Wong was a Miss Chinese Toronto. Her sister was also in Flashpoint with Donnie as the policewoman who gets shot in the lift.
