"Volume II contains five types of indexes: name, gender, category, country and author. The index by Name is crucial as it lists the official name and other names of an individual, including his/her Chinese names in local spellings, in Hanyu Pinyin, and names known by the community/society. For instance, Rudy Hartono, the well-known badminton champion from Indonesia, is listed under Kurniawan, Rudy Hartono in the dictionary, not under Rudy Hartono. However, he is better known as Rudy Hartono."

"This is a bold project recording the lives of a particular group of Southeast Asians. Most of the people whose biographies are included here have settled down in the ten countries that constitute the region. Each of them has either self-identified as Chinese or is comfortable to be known as someone of Chinese ancestry. There are also those who were born in China or elsewhere who came here to work and do business, including seeking help from others who have ethnic Chinese connections. With the political and economic conditions of the region in a great state of flux for the past two centuries, it is impossible to find consistency in the naming process. Confucius had stressed that correct names make for the best relationships."
