Wong Fun

After completing his medical degree at the University of Edinburgh, he returned to China and disseminated what he had learned.

A native of Hsiang-shan, Canton, Wong studied at Morrison Education Society School, in Macao.

In 1847, he and two others, Wong Shing and Yung Wing, became the first three Chinese students to the study in the United States.

In return, a bronze statue of Wong Fun was erected at the University of Edinburgh in September of that year.
