Deng Bingkun (鄧秉坤), Zhang Zhunan (張柱南) and others, invited me to dine at Shenjianglou. Huiming[1] sang Cantonese opera. There were people in the dining room but the food was not quite abundant.

 

[1] Huiming Foo, adopted daughter of Kitty and Fu Bingchang. Huiming was the daughter of Fu’s niece. She was born on the same day that Kitty had given birth to a still-born son.  Kitty adopted Huiming, and was even able to breast-feed her. Trained as an accountant, Huiming was an accomplished Chinese opera singer and played the Chinese zither (Guzheng). She married an American-Chinese restaurateur.
