RE: Chen Dongtian
On first sight, this hanzi looks more similar, but look at the connection of
downgoing curved stroked: they touch at the horizontal stroke and are not
apart as in the "condor/vulture".
At second thought, this Hanzi is so rare, I doubt that someone saw is
occasionally.
And look at the "winter" sign: the curved strokes are more apart.
But where are the missing strokes?

This seems a closer match to me (althought still upside down).
