Additional info: Kathy Chow was from the clan, 瓜尔佳氏 (Gūwalgiya), one the most powerful Manchu clans. It is considered the first among 8 prominent Manchu clans.

Bordered White Banner is one of the 5 lower banners of the 8 Manchu banners.

Another famous actress from the same Manchu clan is 关之琳 (Rosamund Kwan). But she is from the Plain White Banner (one of the three upper banners)

有的集军事、生产和行政管理于一体的社会组织,旗下之人称作“旗人”或“八旗子弟”。八旗的雏形来自于满洲人前身明代女真人的射猎小队“牛录”。努尔哈赤改善了这一制度,于1615年正式创立八旗,分为镶黄、正黄、正白、正红、镶白、镶红、正蓝、镶蓝八个旗色,随后数十年的征战和发展过程中,又逐渐吸收了蒙古、汉人等族群而增设蒙古八旗和汉军八旗,形成了一个以满洲为核心、蒙古、汉军为主体的多族群联合的社会集团。

After Sun Yat Sen established Republic of China, hundreds of thousands of Manchus got killed by the revolutionists, as a result they fled to Guangzhou and HK, they adopted Han Chinese family names and wore Han clothing to avoid being identified and killed…that is why there are so many of them in HK. A number of HK female movie stars are Manchu descendants.

About half of the 10 million+ Manchus in China are in Liaoning. One-third of them are in Hebei. Jilin, Inner Mongolia and Beijing also have a sizeable population of over 100,000. These are the big 5 provinces/municipalities where Manchus reside.
