The Three Cambridge Graduates from Nanyang: Cross-regional Activities and Achievements of Queen’s Scholars

Wu Lien Teh (1879-1960), Goh Lai Hee (1881-1951), and Chan Sze Pong (1884-?) were born and raised in Singapore or Malaya. They were awarded the Queen’s Scholarship to study at Cambridge University in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Throughout their lives, they were active in Cambridge and had extraordinary opportunities and achievements in Nanyang and China. This lecture will discuss the friendship, cooperation, and eventual separation of these three Chinese elites. It will also discuss their cross-regional activities and achievements in Southeast Asia and China.
