Lin Wang was a young Asian-American gangster and friend of Chang Lee who lived in San Francisco in the year 1999. On the night of 30 December 1999, he was shot dead alongside Pik Sim by a rival gang. (PROSE: The Novel of the Film)
Behind the scenes
- The novelisation of the Doctor Who telefilm names the two friends with Lee on the night he met the Doctor. One was called Lin Wang. However, the book claims that one, Pik Sim, was a woman with long hair, while in the final cut of the film they are clearly both males. This discrepancy reveals the difficulty inherent in relying on Gary Russell's novel for accurate details, as it was written without the benefit of seeing the final film and apparently even before casting had been completed.
