I have seen this picture many times before, but I didn’t know the soldadera had a Chinese surname… intrigueing to say the least. In her book ‘Yaqui Women’, Jane Holden Kelly tells the story of a Yaqui woman who married a Chinese store owner. He had saved her life by hiding her in his house when the rurales came looking for her during one of their Yaqui razzias.
