"ginger"-What a funny translation!
Christine, do you know how to pronounce John's surname in Cantonese?
His surname "Chiang" pronounce as "Keung" in Cantonese and "ginger" also pronounce as "Keung" in Cantonese. So, you understand the silly translation now?
His different names may be owing to different way of translation. Some people may translate his name according to the pronunciation in Cantonese, other may use the pronunciation of Mandarin.
For the interview with Lily Li in "The Heroic Ones" DVD, I think you've missed a part of the conversation. She actually says "He (John) is very cool at first. He just sit there without a word with me for 4 to 5 hours." But as they came to know each other more during the making of the movie (they played lovers in the movie), John became "a lot of fun, he likes to play around". So, basically, John's a shy man.
