As a boy, Tony Myo-Lwin (also known as) Ong Chow Wan came to Wan Hua boys' school from Pyinmana with his younger brother, Chow Kun. Then came his youngest brother, Chow Ming, a few years later. They lived at school during school term and they travelled back to their hometown by train to spend summer with their parents. Tony had attended medical school in Burma and went on to study at the medical school of the National Taiwan University. Now, Tony, a physician, is a diagnostic and nuclear radiologist with Mount Saint Joseph Hospital in Vancouver. Tony lives with his wife and children in Vancouver. Tony's classmate, Arthur Wong, helped identify their other classmates in the pictures.
