Hi Corey,
Thanks for working on that.
For List 1, I see that some Chinese names are spelled in Chinese Pinyin. I know
some of these people, so I think their preferred names can remain the same. For
example, Bihua Wang’s preferred name can also be Bihua Wang.
I understand that it may be difficult for you to identify all the Chinese
Pinyin names, so here they are. Some names were not in first-name-last-name
order, so I corrected them, for example, "Hu Xunqi -> Xunqi Hu." There were
also a few duplicates, which I marked as well.
```
Bihua Wang
Chengpeng Yan
Chi Zhang
Chong Peng
Chuanwen Hu
Dapeng Wang
Dewei Dai
Feilong Meng
Feng Wu
GaoZengqi -> Zengqi Gao
Haiyang Li
Haowu Ge
Haoyan Wang
Hu Xunqi -> Xunqi Hu
Jihe Wang
Jinbinge -> Bing’e Jin
Jinhui Lai
Lu Feng
Meng Zhang
Ning Sun
Ning Wu
Qifan Liu
Runyuan He
Shengbin Zhao
Shixin Wang
Tan Yang -> Yang Tan
Tenglong Gu
Tianchen Zhang

Xingbin She
Xueyu Gao
Yang Yuanzhuo -> Yuanzhou Yang
Yi Ding
Yilin Zhang
Yingying Chen
Yu Kunpeng -> Kunpeng Yi
Yu Wang

Yuan Li(carol) : dup to Yuan Li
Yuanchao Zhang
Yuchen Li
Yuefei Shi
Yuelin Wang
Zepeng Zhang
Zhang Hu
Zheng Tao
Zhenwei Shang
Zhibai Song

albert tan : dup to Tan Yang

zhanglihui -> Lihui Zhang
zhangqiang -> Qing Zhang
zhibin wang -> Zhibin Wang
zourenli -> Renli Zou
彭冲 : dup to Chong Peng
王跃林 : dup to Yuelin Wang
```
For List 3, I see that my name appears twice:
```
Chao Li Chao Li
Chao Li Chao Li (Evan)
```
Please just use “Chao Li” as my preferred name, as it is also my legal name on
my passport.
Best regards,
