He came to Hong Kong in 1920s and studied in St. Stephen College. He was graduated from the medical school of the University of Hong Kong. He became the superintendent of Tung Wah Eastern Hospital, and later Tung Wah Hospital from late 1940s to late 1950s. Despite his medical profession, he was keenly interested in music and was an accomplished flutist apart from being one of the founding members of the Sino-British Orchestra, an amateur orchestra that eventually became the Hong Kong Philharmonic. Dr. Wong became interested in the xiao during the late 1950s. He adopted a number of flute technique to his xiao playing and began making his own xiao. He widened the instrument’s repertoire by making his own arrangement and transcriptions of pieces originally written for other instruments. During the 1960s, he became more involved in the promotion of traditional Chinese music, and was a driving force behind the introduction of the Chinese instrumental section of the Hong Kong School Music Festival. He also took part in numerous concerts and radio broadcasts.
