Chinese ambassador in his Amherst home finds every hour filled
Chinese -- United States -- History -- 19th century
United States -- Relations -- China
Amherst (Mass.)
Newspaper article glued to a scrapbook page. The article describes the history of the relationship of Sir Chentung Liang Cheng to the town and the people of Amherst. Cheng came to the United States about 1875 (at the age of 12) as part of the Chinese government's education mission. He became the pupil of Miss Julia Harrington of Amherst and caught the attention of Henry Hill Goodell and Henry D. Fearing who became staunch supporters of the boy. Cheng later became Chinese ambassador to the United States.
This article was written in 1905 when Cheng was a summer resident in Amherst, staying in the house of Henry Hill Goodell on Sunset Avenue.
