Yung, Wing [Rong, Hong]. My life in China and America [ID D7870].
The breaking of the 'Chinese Educational Commission' and the young students in 1881 was not brought about without a strenuous effort on the part of some thoughtful men… who came forward in their quiet and modest ways to enter a protest against the revocation of the Mission. Chief among them were my life-long friend, the Rev. J.H. Twichell, and Rev. John W. Lane, through whose persistent efforts Presidents Porter and Seelye, Samuel Clemens [Mark Twain], T.F. Frelinghuysen, John Russell Young and others were enlisted and brought forward to stay the work of retrogression of the part of the Chinese.
