Hsueh Chin also feels that whether in terms of the history of Taiwan's settlement and development, or of the island's difficult path to democracy, or yet of the preservation of historical monuments, the stories and characters associated with the Li Family Compound in Luchou represent important milestones in Taiwan's modernization.
薛琴也覺得，不論是在北台灣的開發史、台灣民主化的艱辛過程，或在古蹟的保存工作上，蘆洲李宅所發生的故事及人物，都是台灣現代化重要的里程碑。
