Tong King-sing (1832 – 1892; Chinese: 唐景星; pinyin: Táng Jǐngxīng; Wade–Giles: T'ang Ching-hsing), also known as Tang Tingshu (traditional Chinese: 唐廷樞; simplified Chinese: 唐廷枢; pinyin: Táng Tíngshū; Wade–Giles: T'ang T'ing-shu), was a Chinese comprador, interpreter, and businessman during the late Qing dynasty. Born in Xiangshan, Guangdong province, he studied in Robert Morrison's missionary schools as a boy and his classmates included Yung Wing. Because of the knowledge of English he obtained employment in the Hong Kong colonial government between 1851–57 and 1857–61, he served the Chinese Maritime Customs Service as interpreter and chief secretary. In 1861-63, he joined the Jardine Matheson Company as a salesman in Tianjin. He authored the work The Chinese Instructor, a six-volume series of dialogues, published in 1862.[1]
