Inscription.
Dedicated in sorrow to our grandmother Xiu Ying Gen. She was persecuted by the Communist Party in mainland China from 1949 until she died in 1978 because her husband was a general in the Army of the Republic of China in World War II who moved to Taiwan in 1949.

Now we have brought you from China to settle in Boston with your son Ji Cheng. We will always carry you in our hearts. Rest in peace.

Your grandsons Hang Tat Liang, Sheng Ming Liang. Your granddaughters Yue Zhu Liang, Le Zhu Liang.

Erected 2015.
