Hsiao Li Lindsay, Baroness Lindsay of Birker

[2] Her father, Colonel Li Wenqi, was a rich nonconformist Chinese landowner who refused to bind her feet.

[1] Lindsay was using his protected status as a foreign citizen to smuggle radio and medical supplies to the communists, who were resisting the Japanese occupation.

[1] After the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, Lindsay found himself a citizen of an enemy state and thus liable for arrest.

Hsiao Li and her husband moved to Britain, where they lived with his parents, Sandie and Erica Lindsay,[2] and then to Australia, where he worked at the Australian National University.

Lord Lindsay's career brought them to Chevy Chase, Maryland, a suburb of Washington, D.C., in 1959, where they remained after his retirement in 1975.
