Yung Wing (1828–1912) Chinese official, educational reformer; born in Nam Ping, Pedro Island, China. He was the first Chinese to graduate from an American college (Yale, 1854); his memoir, My Life in China and America (1909), reflects his divided life thereafter. As commissioner of the Chinese Educational Mission (1870–81), he brought other Chinese students to America until a counter-reform Chinese government stopped his efforts.
