E.M. Forster invited Xiao Qian to a Rede lecture on Virginia Woolf at the British Institute on 5 March 1942. Xiao wrote in his autobiography : "I, for my part, had long been interested in the English novel – I admired Woolf up in her ivory tower but almost worshipped Forster who welcomed the whole world into his books".
