Wong Nai Siong
In the winter of 1867, priest Xu Yang Mei took Wong Nai Siong as an assistant and taught him the Bible. This led to Wong Nai Siong's being exposed to Western culture and thinking. When asked his reason for converting to Christianity, Wong Nai Siong remarked on the disparity between the teachings of Confucius and the actions of those who professed Confucianism.
