David Kung Ling-kan (Chinese: 孔令侃, 10 December 1916 – 1 August 1992) was the eldest son of H. H. Kung and Soong Ai-ling.[1] Kung was a 76th generation descendant of Confucius, being given the generation name "ling".
For a period he had the English name "David", but later stopped using it, even while speaking in English and living in the United States, as a way of showing his Chinese-ness.[2]: 200
