Greetings Jerry,
Unfortunately, what you are looking for cannot be found. There were never any centralized records in China, like birth records or death records for example. You would have to look into the Chong family Jiapu that can be found in the China genealogies collection, they sometimes list births deaths and even marriages. You could also look for your father's grave, it could possibly list his birth in the lunar calendar format.
Also, for your research, please give more information on your father from Kaiping, I believe I could find more about him.

Jerry, I have found a record that states that his name Fune Gee Chong (Chong Fun Gee?).
It lists his birth place being around 1908 in a village called Foo Low Dui (Fu Loh Dui?) in Hoiping.

We would like to know anything in Chinese to ensure the record we are looking at is correct.
Do you have the information of his name and living village info in CHINESE characters?
