Admiral Tsai Ting-kan was born at Hsiang-shan Hsien, Kuangtung province, in 1861. He received his early education at a country school, and afterwards studied at the Chinese Educational Mission School in Shanghai from 1872-73, which was organized by Mr. Yung Wing, pioneer of China's modern education. He was one of the students of the first batch sent to America in 1873, as arranged by Mr. Yung Wing. Admiral Tsai was assigned to Hartford Grammar School upon his first arrival.
