No, Lee Chong Wei didn't change his name, it's just the translation mistake..

You can rarely see direct chinese translation name in Malaysian Chinese names...

Because we normally use chinese dialeks for names

Lin Dan, incidentally, is a Fujianese Hakka. So is Chen Hong. Is LCW a Fujianese (Hokkien in Fujian and Malaysia) or another Hakka?

I think both LinDan and Chen Hong is Fukienese......LCW is definitely a Fukienese

Lin Dan and Chen Hong are both Fujianese.

However Lin Dan is a Hakka. He was born in Shanghang, Fujian province. Hakka has their own language and culture, that's why the Fujianese call them Khek or Guest since the Hakka is not from Fujian.
