Beloved father, teacher, the amazing person that made me who I am. Words cannot describe how much I owe you, how much we owe you. No praise can demonstrate your sacrifices and the art of people building you have used to conjure up formidable children onto the world.
Love
Your daughter Shan
When we just bought our condo
When dad discovered the "wonders" of the world wide web. XD
Standing confucious presentation.
Another shot of the hanfu with dad sitting and contemplating with the scroll. I love the patterns over the dark contrasting areas of the fabric.
I visited China for the first time in my life in 2009. I came back and was somewhat disappointed at how modern China looked. I custom ordered some hanfu for dad, me and some friends through a broker website called Taobao and they didnt disappoint! Here is dad with his rice colored simple confucious style light wear. He always liked the people of books.
I took dad up to the Angeles Forest at about 2005. His first remark was what is that brown halo around down town (looking from afar)?? I replied "That is the stuff from cars and factories people breath in every day!" It was a funny for sure.
This is him at a local park that we favorited. He loved denim and his smokes.
