He Xiufeng (1898-1970), born in Zhongshan, Guangdong, was the father of Ho Mang Hang, and a famous seal carver and collector. He worked under Wang Jingwei and helped published Poetry of Shuangzhaolou.

He Yingfu was the younger brother of He Xiufeng. His skills in calligraphy earned him the role a copier of Wang Jingwei Shuangzhaolou poetry.

Wang Jingwei remains one of the most fascinating and complex political and literary figures in modern Chinese history. As a revolutionary, Wang played an important role in the fall of the Qing dynasty and called for democratic and social reforms during the 1920s and the 1930s, before becoming a leader of the Peace Movement during the Second Sino-Japanese War. An accomplished calligrapher, poet, writer and friend to many artists, Wang is also well-known for his collection of poetry, titled Shuangzhaolou shicigao, including Xiaoxiuji (A Little Rest) and Saoyeji (Brush Leaves) collections. A selection of poems and translation has been published in Poems of Wang Ching-wei (London, Allen & Unwin, 1938).
