Further details
Born in 1950, Sir William Ehrman is a retired British diplomat and ambassador who is fluent in Chinese. He was stationed in Mainland China and Hong Kong in his early years and participated in the Sino-British negotiations on the handover of Hong Kong in the 1980s. He later served as Political Adviser to the Hong Kong Government, the Principal Private Secretary to the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs and the British Ambassador to Luxembourg. He served as British Ambassador to China from 2006 to 2010.
Ehrman attended Eton College and then Trinity College, Cambridge, from which he graduated with a first-class honours degree in Chinese in 1973. He joined the Foreign Office immediately after graduation, studied Chinese further in Hong Kong from 1975 to 1976 and was then assigned to British Embassy in Beijing from 1976 to 1978, first as Third and later as Second Secretary.
In 1978 when Ehrman and his wife lived in Beijing, Mrs Ehrman visited Rong Bao Zhai with the wife of the then British Ambassador to China, Sir Edward Youde (who later became the 26th Governor of Hong Kong), and came across this work. The Ehrmans purchased the piece. The work travelled with them to their various postings and returned to the United Kingdom with them, where it has remained in their collection to this day.
