A Malaysian Chinese named Pan Yunlong and the other named Xu Zongqing. The two live in Taipei and Kaohsiung. They seem to be unrelated, but there are too many similar coincidences: both of them are from Perak, Malaysia and live in Taiwan. After 20 or 30 years, they all married Taiwanese wives, and they all returned to Malaysia to sell snacks.
