Liu Manqing was born in the late Qing dynasty, at a time when Britain was proactively plotting to support “Tibetan independence” following its second armed invasion of Tibet. Liu Manqing was born in Tibet and was a first-class clerk in the National Government. She was a “a woman who took on a responsibility that 400 million other people could not,” secretly traveling to Tibet on behalf of the National Government to meet the 13th Dalai Lama, twice, and at the risk to her own life, expressly stating the position of Kuomintang and the state.
