A 1933 newsreel clip about an Australian whose parents took him to China where they died. He was adopted by a Chinese family and grew up without learning English (go here if video does not load on Danwei).
A comment on the Youtube version of the video reads:
Ernest Sung Yee was born in the town of Quirindi in New South Wales, Australia in 1901. At about 8 years of age, he went with his father Sung Yee and brother to China. He grew up there, returning to Australia as an adult. There are files about his travels from and back to Australia in the National Archives of Australia (a quick search of the RecordSearch database for ‘Ernest Sung Yee’ brings up some results). He was one of many Australian-born children who went to live with family in China.
