He Began His Formal Education At The Bok Jai School, Where He Was Given A School Name In Accordance With Chinese Customs. Hearing That He Aspired To Be An Artist, His Instructor Gave Him The Name "King Man" (Lit. "Scenery" And "Composition" In Cantonese). He Would Later Combine The Two Names Into Kingman, Placing His Family Name First In Accordance With Chinese Naming Conventions, Creating The Name Dong Kingman. Kingman Continued His Education At The Chan Sun Wen School, Where He Excelled At Calligraphy And Watercolor Painting. He Studied Under Szeto Wai, The Paris-Trained Head Of The Lingnan Academy.

In New York He Was Associated With Midtown, Wildenstein And Hammer Galleries. During The 1950S, Kingman Served As A United States Cultural Ambassador And International Lecturer For The Department Of State. In The 1950S And 1960S, Kingman Worked As An Illustrator In The Film Industry, Designing The Backgrounds For A Number Of Major Motion Pictures Including "55 Days At Peking", The Sand Pebbles And The Hollywood Adaptation Of "Flower Drum Song".
