History
Ying Wong Chung was born in Guangdong province, China in the late 1920s. (Her husband was born in the same province in 1893 and was sent to England in 1911 - the year the Qing Dynasty fell - by his father.) She emigrated to the UK in the 1953, to join her husband, who was living in a small town in North Wales. After running a laundrette for 15 years (from 1953-1968) the Chungs entered the catering trade. The business was later closed shortly after her husband's death. Ying Wong Chung moved to London in 1985.
