Yale Center Beijing Celebrates Its 10th Anniversary
One hundred seventy years ago, a young Chinese man named Yung Wing graduated from Yale College. He was the first Chinese student to earn a degree from a North American university.
Yung Wing would go on to donate a large part of his personal library to Yale, creating the foundation for the Yale East Asia Library’s Chinese collection. It is now one of the most extensive archives of its kind in the United States.
