History

He was born in Jiangmen in Guangdong. After he turned six, he moved to Hong Kong.[4]

He went to school until age 13, and after then started his artistic work. Wong never attended an educational institution focusing on art.[5] His decision to begin working at 13 was because he could command a relatively high salary at that time.[6]

In 1971, Wong created Jademan Holdings.[7] According to Monica Ko of the South China Morning Post, because of Wong's profile in the company, the company's stock became known as "personality stock". In 1989 he lost his position at Jademan by resigning, and so his involvement in the company's comics ended.[1] He attempted to take control of Jademan back. At some point he was convicted in Hong Kong courts of an offense.[8] He received a 2.5 year prison sentence. Wong went to Stanley Prison and was released after one year and six months. In 1993, the South China Morning Post wrote that "Despite his jailing, Mr Wong,[...] is still seen as a hero by young people in the territory."[9]

After Wong left prison, he established Jade Dynasty Publications.[10] His intention was to, in his words, "an oriental [sic] type of Walt Disney."[11]

In 2015 he had plans to have a theme park established in Hangzhou in Mainland China that would focus on comics.[4] The proposed park was to have a cost of $800,000,000 Hong Kong dollars.[12]
