A-Shing and A-Yow, at the Chinese Collection, 1845. Creator: Unknown
A-Shing and A-Yow, at the Chinese Collection, 1845. A very interesting arrival has just taken place at the Chinese Collection, at Knightsbridge - viz. two Chinese youths, A-shing and A-yow. They landed at Liverpool, about eight months since, in the ship Inglewood, the captain of which unfortunately died on the passage. It is believed to have been his intention to educate these boys in England, and eventually benefit himself by their negotiation with the Chinese. They had been, until lately, staying at Liverpool; when Mr. Langdon, the Lessee of the Chinese Exhibition, arranged for their residence in London for a short time. They are very intelligent, and well educated in their own tongue, and are respectably connected in Canton, being the sons of small merchants. They converse in English tolerably well. From " Illustrated London News", 1845, Vol VII
