Around 1976 my late Grandmother mentioned that I have a late Grand Uncle by the name 黃承謙in China. He was the eldest brother of my late Grandfather.

His last known village was in “Bu-ji” Town, south of Guangdong Province (廣東省寶安縣深圳市布吉鎮).

He was (perhaps) last seen in 1905/06 when his young bother Wong Shin Chiang 黃承青 (my late Grandfather) left China for Borneo Island (Now East Malaysia).

After Second World War, mail contacts between both side had completely lost.

In 2013 after lengthy searching in Internet, I found this Chinese family photo of "Wong Schin Khim".

There is 70% possibility that the "Wong Schinkhim" in the photo is the 黃承謙 whom my Grandma mentioned. No one is sure until I found the real person.
If you have any valuable information, please write to me at wongfookyee@yahoo.com

These are original source found in Church's digital archive. Basel Mission Archives has two copies of the same photograph. Wong's Chinese name was spelled in Roman alphabet in two version : Won Fin khim and Wong Schinkhim
For both practical and religious reasons, Western missionaries were dedicated correspondents, diarists, and record keepers of the Asian societies.

Transcriptions

Wong Shik-Ling (also known as S. L. Wong) (1908–1959) was a prominent scholar in Cantonese research. He is famous for his authoritative book, A Chinese Syllabary Pronounced According to the Dialect of Canton (《粵音韻彙》), which is influential in Cantonese research.

He graduated from Lingnan University, Guangzhou and then taught and researched Cantonese in the university. In 1941 he published his work, "A Chinese Syllabary Pronounced according to the Dialect of Canton". In 1949, he went to the University of London and studied methods for linguistic research in the School of Oriental and African Studies. In 1950, he returned to Hong Kong upon being hired as a lecturer in Cantonese at the University of Hong Kong for 1951. In the same year, he became the first dean in the newly founded Language School and went on to teach foreigners Cantonese for 9 years, until the end of his life. He wrote two textbooks on Cantonese for the university: Cantonese Conversation Grammar (1963) and Intermediate Cantonese Conversation (1967). Both were published by the Government Printer of the Hong Kong Government.

浪口堂是客家地區崇真會區堂，在歷史變革中飽經滄桑。
1917年軍閥混戰，浪口堂受到嚴重破壞，教牧人員受到嚴重迫害，兩名外國傳教士殉難於浪口。
1937年日寇侵華，教堂及學校均受到嚴重破壞。
1951年“土地改革”期間，教會暫停聚會活動，教堂被挪作它用，信徒分散到許多家庭聚會點中聚會。

曾在此牧養的傳道牧者分別有：張協貴、張協光、吉惠民、張德恩、黃承斂、曾國英、徐恩祥、萬鼎新、徐錫清、吳懷德、萬自新等教牧人員，他們的勞苦主必紀念。

According to 'Wong Family History' by Christopher Wong :

"...Shin Chiang had an older missionary brother: Shin Kim in Hong Kong/Malaysia and a younger brother in China who was given away for adoption. No recorded nor verbal information on Shin Chiang’s father or why only he and his mother went to Kuching ... Shin Chiang did try to look for his older brother Shin Kim in Malaysia/Hong Kong twice but was unsuccessful...."

In between 1975-1977 one day during a casual conversation with Grandma, Phang Lien Yin, she mentioned of Wong Shin Chiang's long lost brother :

"....you have a Suk-Kong (Grand-uncle) 黃承謙 in 斐濟 Fiji Island............for many years we received letters from him....we wrote letters to him............latter on we lost contact with each other........"

She also mentioned the name of the country "Fiji" 斐濟島.
