That's a pretty interesting change!

Is Kelvin Cheung the "westernized" name and Keguang Zhang the
closer to the real name, such as pinyin form? That would make
a lot of sense.

I think some authors even use the native characters these days,
as git and all tools and terminals should support Unicode now.
It might make it hard for us to answer mails (not knowing which
characters to refer to as given name) but I kind of like it when I
see it.
