Cheng Tinghua (also known as Cheng Yingfang) (simplified Chinese: 程廷华; traditional Chinese: 程廷華; pinyin: Chéng Tínghuá) (1848–1900) was a teacher of Chinese neijia (baguazhang).
He was born in Shen County, (then in Hebei province, later in Shandong). He left his hometown and went to Beijing to apprentice with an eyeglass-maker.[1] He was killed in 1900 during the Boxer Rebellion by German soldiers who shot him when he resisted their attempts to forcibly conscript him for a labor gang.[1]
