Biography

Born in San Francisco 1895. Died in Surabaya. Education: St John University (Junior). The eldest of these 'Wong Brothers'—besides Joshua Wong and Othniel Wong—was raised in mainland China. His father, Traveling Evangelist (Traveling Evangelist) Wong Siong Tek hoped that his sons and daughters would become Pastors, so Nelson, the eldest child, was sent to school in California. But this teenager was more interested in traveling in Hollywood, so he had an apprenticeship with D.W. Griffith and served as an assistant cameraman in the making of The Musketeers of Pig Alley. When he learned of his son's behavior in America, Wong Siong Tek followed him to America with Joshua and Othniel, to be able to pull his brother out of the film. But it turns out that Nelson's two younger brothers also 'fallen' into the film.
