I have a friend from China whose last name is Lee. He notes that “Lee,” spelled in various ways, is also found in Korea, Vietnam, England, Ireland, Norway and German-speaking countries.

There was a book that came out a few years ago claiming that the Chinese reached North America in 1421. I saw the author interviewed on TV and he did not appear to be a raving maniac. I don’t think he used the Lee family of Virginia as evidence for the Chinese getting to North America.

Yeah, Lee is the worst, it is everywhere. Or maybe it’s the best.

I heard a statistic some years ago, don't know if it's true or not, but after reading this it sounds possible: that there are more people surnamed Lee in China than there are people in the United States!
