Translated by EkBlack

GUIDE TO PRONUNCIATION (very approximate...)
-XIAOXUE (most names are actually 2 characters, but I didn't feel like spacing it out. More distinctive this way, no?)
"Shaw Shoe-eh" --ridiculously hard to say if you don't know Chinese. "Little Snow".

-DAWU 
"Dah Woo"--pretty simple. "Great Martial" (like martial arts.)

-XIANGLONG (His gang's name, "xianglongji", is also the name of a famous novel. literally it means "tale of Xiang Long.")  
"Shee-ahng Luhng" --oh that annoying "X". "Soaring Dragon."

-XIMA 
"Shee Mah" --again with that X. "Wishful Horse."

-YICHUN
"Eee Chuhn" --"Easy/Glad Spring".

-XINSHA
"Sheen Shah" --"Star Dust."

-MAO
"maow" --"Cat."

-LU
"Louie" (one syllable) --"Green".

-CHEN GUANGMING
"Chehn Gooahng Miing" --"Chen" is a common surname; "Guangming"="Light"

-DAFEI
"Dah Fay" --"Great Flight"

-SHANGHAI is of course "Shang Hai."
-All the places mentioned that are in Shanghai are real. The other places (HK aside of course) seem fictional.

I thought "lieutenant" and "second in command" were both more awkward than "vice-boss"...couldn't think of anything better.
