WHAT'S BEEN ADDED OR SIGNIFICANTLY CHANGED

2018 March 13
  • Added Chinese names for Lily's mother and siblings.

2016 August 14
  • Major addition of an article about Ginling College, with lots of photos from Lily's photo albums. At long last! and there's still more to say and more photos to add.
  • Year of visit to Nanjing corrected to 1934-1935, not 1933-1934 (I've just been given Lily's diary from that visit)
  • Clarified that the Majestic Hotel / 大華飯店 where they were married is believed to be the Majestic Hotel in Shanghai where Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Mei Ling were married. Those are the English & Chinese hotel names printed on their wedding invitation, but the city is not specified, and it's a little tricky to verify the names, as there were/have been other hotels called "Majestic", but not necessarily with the same Chinese name. Help appreciated...

2016 June 18
  • Painting by Lily added to her biography page (slightly edited)
