The new Chinese and British Exhibition is now on at the British Library (entrance free) till next April 2023. So a few posts on things that relate to previous posts of mine here…Second Dymia Hsiung…

Other posts include Chiang Yee, Xi Zhimo, and Chinese cookery books in the UK

Dymia, the first Chiense woman in Britain to write her autobiography and also the wife of the paywright and theatrical impressario Hsiung Shih-I gets a mention in the exhibition…here in an article on the family in England, The Happy Hsiungs (also the title of Diana Yeh’s biography of the couple) and Dymia’s book Flowering Exile.
