The Yugeng Family
Raised largely overseas and fluent in Japanese, English, and French, the children of
the Manchu diplomat Yugeng and his half-American, half-Chinese wife provided what the
Qing court desperately needed: assistants accomplished in international
diplomacy and protocol. Daughters Der Ling (Deling, 1885–1944) and Rong Ling
(Rongling, 1882–1973) were both attractive and accustomed to Parisian society; son
Xunling (ca. 1880–1943), who picked up photography as a hobby in Tokyo and then
Paris, created the photographs of the Empress Dowager presented in this unit.
