T'ung-Chi

A historical figure from late 19th-century London’s Chinese expatriate community, T’ung-Chi gifted a Chinese cabinet to Litefoot’s mother in 1873. Though absent from the scene, his gesture reveals a connection to the Litefoot household that endured for decades. His status as 'his highness' suggests either a cultural honorific or an elevation of his personal standing, hinting at either royal lineage or significant social influence within London’s Chinese immigrant circles.
