Sun Fo, President of the Executive Yuan at that time, wrote the following comment in the preface to her book A Mission to Xikang and Tibet: “Compared with Zhang Qian and Ban Chao, who were sent on a mission to the western region in the Han dynasty, Liu Manqing was truly no inferior, with her unparalleled outstanding achievements on this visit to the border area by order of the government. Her deeds are exemplary and deserve to be widely eulogized.”
