| Summary | "My Life in China and America" by Yung Wing is a memoir written in the early 20th century. This work chronicles the author's experiences growing up in China, pursuing education in the United States, and his subsequent return to China, highlighting his efforts to reform Chinese education. The narrative aims to weave the story of personal growth and cultural exchange while aiming for the enlightenment and betterment of China through Western ideals and education. The opening of the memoir introduces Yung Wing's early life in Nam Ping, near Macao, where he begins his education under the guidance of Mrs. Gutzlaff. It describes his family's decision to send him to a foreign school, which set the stage for his extraordinary journey. Yung Wing reflects on his initial impressions of the school, his interactions with Mrs. Gutzlaff, and the influence of their relationship on his life. He recounts early childhood escapades, such as his attempt to escape from the confines of the school, and ultimately lays the groundwork for his later academic pursuits in American institutions, which would significantly shape his identity and ambitions.
