Miss Li Leaves Audience In Enthralled
State, Presenting Chinese Philosophy
By Clcd Hopkins
Speaking in the college auditorium Saturday, January 10, was Miss
Li Ling Ai, lecturer and world-traveler. Miss Li was born in Hawaii
of Chinese parents who were both physicians. She is a graduate of the
University of Hawaii. Miss Li in 1937 worked with the theater in
Peking, writing, directing, acting, and doing research.
She left China and came to America to meet a photographer, whom
she persuaded to go with her back to the Orient to film scenes there.
This was during the turbulent
times before W^V II. They' were
arrested by the British, French, and
Chinese authorities because of the
film taken, but were able to bring
it back in 1941. The film, Ku-
kan,” won the first Academy
Award for documentary movies.
Miss Li has for over ten years
been Director of Far Eastern De
partment of Ripley’s Believe It or
Not.
Miss Li was in China both at
the outbreak of WW II and at
the time the Communists overran
China.
In an interview with this edi
tor, Miss Li stated, “We must
defend Quemoy and Matsu if the
line of defense is to be held by
the United States. Lines of de
fense will always bring near wars
and controversies, yet they are
necessary'. Quemoy' and Matsu go
with the Formosa group and are
important in military' tactics.”
“No, we shouldn’t trade with
Red China, but economic pres
sure may necessitate such.”
As to the question of diplomatic
recognition of Red China, Aliss
Li replied, “America is the only
idealistic and moralistic country.
Choose idealism rather than prac
ticality if nothing is to be gained
either way; so I favor idealism and
non-recognition. Personally I fav
or non-recognition.”
