In 1898, Wong decided to set sail for Asia and he first disembarked in Hong Kong. His business partners owed him money, and he wished to collect as much as possible from the Hong Kong branch of the syndicate. He was initially issued a United States passport, but it was soon withdrawn as a consul reported that he was misled by a discrepancy in the States Department’s guidelines regarding passports to naturalized Chinese. Wong later left for Shandong for a final family reunion. Yet the reunion was brief, as the Chinese government attempted to arrest Wong and he had to leave his family again. Finally, he died of heart failure in September 1898.
