It's amazing how she lived her entire adult life in China, through such a tumultuous history -- something the 洋媳妇 of today will never know. I wish I could have met her before she died.

'White Tiger'. Both of their names appear on many reanslations, yet the husband doesn't account for her part for the translations. I suspect he did the rough drafts and she did the finished product. perhaps she should really be credited with the translations and he as an assistant. The books should read "Translated by Gladys Yang with Yang Xianyi." Reading the husband’s autobio. ‘White Tiger’.

The account of the dinner is very moving, and although I never knew them either, I feel deeply indebted to both as so many of the things I love about China and Chinese literature were introduced to me by the Yangs.
