容閎(英語:Yung Wing,1828年11月17日-1912年4月21日),本名達萌,號純甫,學名閎,廣東省廣州府香山縣南屏村(今珠海市南屏鎮)人,中國近代史上首位留學美國之學生,亦為首名於耶魯學院就讀之中國人,後又創設幼童留美計畫,世人稱他為中國留學生先驅。1
.....容閎赴美後於麻省之孟松預備學校就讀,1850年畢業後考入耶魯學院,為首名於耶魯學院就讀之中國人。1852年,容閎入籍美國。1854年獲文學士畢業,其後返回中國。
雖然這次留學運動未能完滿成功,但這一批留學生返國後對於中國現代化均有貢獻。當中最著名者為外交官唐紹儀、劉玉麟、中國鐵路之父詹天佑、香港行政局首任華人官守議員周壽臣等。
容閎的《西學東漸記》一書中有他與臺灣總督兒玉源太郎的對話,兒玉總督說「...惜初次晤面,即有一極惡之消息報君...」容閎聞而大異,急欲知所謂惡消息者究為何事。兒玉曰:「中國閩浙總督方有公文來,囑予留意,謂君設來此者,即倩予捕君送之中政府也。」容閎答稱:「予今在閣下完全治權之下,故無論何時,閣下可以從心所欲,捕予送之中政府,予亦甚願為中國而死,死故得其所也。」兒玉總督聞言莊重對曰:「容先生幸勿以予為中國之警吏,君今請安居於此,慎無過慮,與絕不能聽君往中國就戮也。」並告曰:「君之身命今甚危,惟若居臺灣在予治權之下,予必極力保護,當派兵為君防衛,不致有意外之變。」隔日果有護兵四人,夜間在容閎寓所四圍巡邏,日間逢其外出無論何時,此四兵必隨行,二居前,二居後,加意防護。容閎自述「予居臺灣數日承日人如是待遇,意良可感。」容閎認為此次與日本臺灣總督之談話,實為他一生中最值得紀念之事。[13]
