This is a very humorous name for a book store in English, but I do wonder what it really means in Chinese? Is it merely the name of the shopkeeper? Thanks for sharing!

I think this photo was taken in Hong Kong after a Google search. It could be doctored for all I know. Wrong Book Shop This entry is filed under Travel.

Funny photo. It may only sound odd to English but for Chinese that may be best for them.

Just to explain a little, the shop is named after a person’s name. ‘Wong’ is the sirname, while ‘Fook Hing’ is the given name.

Apparently the parents have to really make up their minds earlier on whether the son should be addressed by ‘Won’t F Him’ or ‘F Him’!

Gosh, what a head-spinning name!!

Funny! I also saw:
“Slip Carefully”
“Chemist for the Tumor of Shanghai”
And the “Pecker Lie Fallow Shoe Store”

You should travel around mainland China! You’ll find lots of great chinglish to photograph on signs and menus. In Beijing there’s a hair salon called “ASS Hair Salon.”

[...] like the Wong Fook Hing Book Store, you need to say ‘Fook Yew’ out aloud to get the joke of this Funny Hotel [...]
