Zheng Guanying

Zheng Guanying, a native of Xiangshan of Guangdong province, had the courtesy name of Zhengxiang and the style name of Taozhai. According to the “Will of Zheng Guanying”, Zheng recounted that he was sent to Shanghai by his father at the age of 17 to learn business skills from his uncle Zheng Tingguang, who was a comprador of the Sun Tak foreign firm over there. The Vo Sang Cheung Tea Company was Zheng’s first business establishment. In Macao, his former family residential complex, the “Mandarin’s House”, is a courtyard-style residential compound of Lingnan architectural features. It extended 4000m2 in area and facing the Interior Harbor. The Mandarin’s House was officially opened to public in 2010 after years of restoration undertaken by the MSAR government.
