This image was taken shortly after we immigrated to the United States of America. Our first stop was San Diego, where we purchased our first house. My father was so proud of coming to the land of many opportunities. Although he didn't speak much English, he was exceptionally proud and very lucky that he made a life for his family in the United States of America.
He died peacefully on Nov. 14, 2013, in Rockville, Md., with his loving family by his side. Born in Shandong, China, in 1935, he was the last of the top chefs from the colonial days of Hong Kong, specializing in the art of hand-stretched noodle making. He apprenticed in several famous Chinese restaurants during his teenage years and endured many hardships in order to make a better life for his family. He immigrated to the U.S. in the ’70s working as an executive chef and a proprietor of several restaurants in California, Maryland and Virginia.
