Recognition
Grant Din Director of Special Projects at Angel Island Immigration Station Foundation
John writes books in a very readable way about topics that need to be told such as the growth and decline of Chinese laundries, and growing up Chinese in the American South. I have heard him speak to groups, and he has a very entertaining and informative style.
Gregory J. Hugh Chairman of the Board at CHINESE HERITAGE FOUNDATION
John was very cooperative and knowledgeable when I approached him about doing a review of his book for our newspaper, China Insight.

John Jung is an excellent writer of the Chinese American experience. His well-researched books are unique and rare glimpses of lives of the sojourners in Gold Mountain. He is a very passionate advocate in remembering our history and legacy.
PC Wu Councilman at City of Pensacola
John is an exceptional historian and writer. He has done so much to preserve the history of the Chinese in America. In addition he is an outstanding presenter.
Ronald Gallimore, Distinguished Professor Emeritus at UCLA
Like pilots, there are old academics and bold academics, but few old, bold academics. John Jung is an exception.
After a distinguished and mainstream academic career, in retirement he decided to write an autobiographical account of his 1940s childhood as a member of the only Chinese-American family living in Macon, Georgia. This book was compelling not only because of the unique social circumstances of his early life but its smooth, seamless integration of solid scholarship on Chinese in America. A highly favorable response to his autobiography led to many speaking events across the nation, and in so doing he discovered the lived experiences of scores of Chinese Americans. Three more books followed, all as compelling and significant as the first. John is unique in many ways, but none more striking than what he has accomplished in his second career, begun in his 7th decade. His wry and engaging wit, solid scholarship, and accomplished writing style has produced four books of note, ones that will be read for generations by anyone interested in the history and contributions of Chinese-Americans.
Riki Hamilton Jackson Assistant Director, Confucius Institute and Asian Studies - U of Memphis
Dr. Jung is an incredible professor, author, and professional. I have read all of his books and enjoyed having him join us in Memphis as a professional speaker for the CIUM. He's terrific!
Tunney Lee Professor Emeritus, M.I.T., Cambridge, MA.
John's books are well researched and cover topics of Chinese-American history untouched elsewhere.
Gilroy Chow Engineering Manager at Metso Minerals
John is a very astute observer of the evolution and growth of the Chinese society as it existed and exists across America. As a scholar and trained author he has captured the essence of life in the microcosms of Chinese life in several venues. His attention to detail and ability to simplify complex interactions has help capture and tell these stories to a broad and diverse audience.
Claire McLeveighn Specialist in Global Public-Private Partnership, and External Affairs
As an author and publisher, John Jung has made major contributions to the knowledge base of his readers and potentially countless others relative to U.S. history and the role and important place of Chinese Americans in this framework. All Americans, not just those of Chinese descent benefit from John's skillful work at Yin and Yang Press.
Albert Lee Photographer / researcher, Chinese Canadian history
John writes from the heart and is also informed in a scientific approach to his subjects.
Franklin Carvajal Ph.D., LCP President and CEO at E Mental Health Center
Dr. Jung is an ardently passionate writer and researcher who publishes works in new and exciting areas related to Chinese American history. He has always done a great job at shedding light on topics that unfortunately have not been the focus of past writers interested in Chinese American history, such as what it was like to be a Chinese American in the heart of the South in the 60's. Does not get any better!
