Aunque este escrito está dedicado a la vida y obra de ellas, es obligado mencionar también al conocido compositor y esteta Qing Zhu 青主, marido y padre respectivamente. Como hasta ahora sólo se ha publicado sobre ellas en idioma Chino, consideré necesario que haya un testimonio en occidente. Como ellas luego emigran a Argentina hay dos versiones del mismo texto, una en inglés y otra en español.

Although this writing is dedicated to their life and work, it is mandatory to mention also the well-known composer and aesthete Qing Zhu 青主, husband and father respectively. Up to now, only in Chinese has been published about them, I considered it necessary to have a testimony in the West. As they later emigrated to Argentina, there were two versions of the same text, one in English and one in Spanish.
