Burt Kwouk as Mr Ling in ‘Goldfinger’.

Mr Ling, played by Burt Kwouk in the film Goldfinger, is Auric Goldfinger’s apparent technical liaison. He is witnessed overseeing the operation of the industrial laser that nearly bisects Bond, and later, during the raid on Fort Knox, is seen supervising the priming of the atomic device intended to irradiate the gold reserves therein.

After the American troops retaliate against Goldfinger’s raid on Fort Knox, Goldfinger, disguised as an American army officer shoots and kills Ling with a gold revolver in front of American soldiers in order to conceal his identity and make his escape.
