After Soong's 105th birthday in March this year, Lu said "Madame Chiang represents kindness, beauty and wisdom. She is a great cross-centuries woman."
Soong did not leave any biographies or memoirs, but all of her precious historical records are stored at California's Stanford University in the Hoover Institution Library and Archives under the East Asia section.
When Soong donated this batch of historical records, it was agreed that it would only be opened to the public after she had passed away.
Though some encouraged Soong to write a memoir, she remained unwilling to do so. In her mind, time would reveal historical events.
Now, with her passing, it seems that we can only wait for history to reveal itself.
