Hongying Liao was a young Chinese Quaker who came to Somerville in 1930 to read chemistry. Hodgkin befriended and helped her. She returned to China, married a British diplomat Derek Bryan, and on his resignation from the Foreign Service, she joined him in the work of the Britain-China Friendship Association.
