1st WHAA President Felix Chin
第一任會長 陳其文先生

President October 29, 2005 – October 29, 2006

Felix Chin served as president of Wan Hua Alumni Association from October 29, 2005 to October 29, 2006. Born in Henzada (located by the Irrawaddy River), Felix attended Catholic Anglo-Chinese School as a boarder from 1953 to 1957. During his senior years at CACS, the school assigned him to monitor the boarders. As a monitor, Felix kept a close watch on the boarders when they were in their night study or eating their meals in the dining hall. If he caught a boarder chit chatting with or pulling a prank on one another, he would punish the boarder by beating him in the butt with a cane. Continued below…..

After completing 6th standard at CACS, Felix transferred to Sacred Heart High School to study high school there. Around the time he passed the government-held high school final exam in 1962, Burma found herself in political turmoil. The xenophobic army general Ne Win overthrew U Nu's democratically-elected government and formed a revolutionary council. The new government put in place a socialist economic system to make many private business transactions illegal, tighten foreign exchange controls, and cut off imports of essential items such as machinery and parts. Farmers were required to sell their rice to the government at rock-bottom prices. These extreme measures of the socialist government caused rice mill owners like Felix Chin's parents to worry about the future of their businesses. As the eldest son in the family, Felix felt that his father desperately needed someone who was familiar with his thinking to help him cope with the new situation. So, instead of pursuing a university education in Rangoon, Felix immediately returned home to Henzada to work alongside his father at the rice mill. Under his father's tutelage, Felix learned the rice milling business, including supervision of the workers, quality control and accounting. As his learning progressed, his father delegated more and more responsibilities to Felix. He was given a free hand in dealing with farmers and government regulators. Years went by. Felix now knew the rice milling business inside out. Convinced that Felix could independently run the family business, his father made Felix the general manager of the rice mill.

Felix Chin and his wife Margaret Wong (St. Emilie's Convent) moved to the U.S. with their children in 1978. Felix studied business administration at City College of San Francisco and San Francisco State University. He works as a real estate broker helping his customers become homeowners. He also works as an interpreter. In his job as an interpreter, he has helped many illegal immigrants from Burma obtain refugee statuses in the United States. Felix also helped form the organization, called Myanmar Community USA.

Surgeon/Founder Toussaints Su
(蘇宜輝校友)

Fangliao General Hospital, Pingtung, Taiwan

Surgeon/Founder Toussaints Su (蘇宜輝院長) of Fangliao General Hospital, Pingtung, Taiwan. Like all his siblings, the young Toussaints (also known as James) attended Catholic Anglo Chinese School. In 1970, he moved to Taiwan with his parents and siblings and enrolled in a high school there. Then he attended a medical school and trained to become a surgeon. Upon graduation, he joined a clinic, worked his way up, and eventually took it over from its owner. It did not stop him right there. As his patient base and his reputation grew, he gradually expanded and transformed the clinic into an accredited hospital. Dr. Su has made his mark in Southern Taiwan, providing medical and surgical care to many satisfied patients in his hospital, housed in a modern, state-of-the-art building. He has also acquired a piece of land to build a nursing home. Due to his award-winning smile, Dr. Su won a local girl Ray's heart and they tied the knot and live happily together. To this day, Dr. Su continues his work at Fangliao General Hospital.

人説先挽方有華
有挽有華成挽華
挽華校友有志氣
都云有心就有力
瘟疫攔路難聚首
且往zoom 集續今緣

Translation by Dr. Phil Chan
人説先挽方有華
They say lst you need to rescue too, then the Chinese culture will survive for me and you.
有挽有華成挽華
Together with rescuing the Chinese Culture thus forms our Wan Hua school
挽華校友有志氣
The Wan Hua alumni all carry a will of true dedication
都云有心就有力
All say with a warm heart then comes real strength without question
瘟疫攔路難聚首
But with the recent coronavirus barring the way for a possible reunion face-to-face
且往zoom 集續今緣
We can only rely on Zoom meeting to continue our present fate

思念
春天來了, 滿山的櫻花已綻放, 多麼多麼的盼望, 再牽妳手賞櫻花, 與你同遊陽明山, 在"台北的天空"下, 感受漫天飛舞的櫻花
春天來了, 樹上鳥兒齊歡唱, 多麼多麼的盼望, 握住妳的手, 走在鄉間的小路上, 看盡那小橋流水, 養鴨人家, 美麗的田園風光, 陶醉在大自然動人的樂章.
春天來了, 蝴蝶也忙著飛成雙, 從仰光到台北, 從台北到金山. "縱然是往事如雲烟, 偏偏想見妳一面, 明知道海誓山盟已過去, 還是默默惦記著妳".

Translation by Dr. Phil Chan
春天來了, 滿山的櫻花已綻放, 多麼多麼的盼望, 再牽妳手賞櫻花, 與你同遊陽明山, 在"台北的天空"下, 感受漫天飛舞的櫻花
With the coming of another lovely Spring, all over the hills are welcoming already with cherry blossoming. So much repeated expectation in mind, holding again hand in hand with yours & mine, together we re-visit the Grass Mountain of Yang-Ming Shan, just to enjoy the delighted cherry blooming of a different kind. Yes, under the sky of beautiful Taipei, I was genuinely amazed at the kaleidoscopic firework-like dancing petals of those blooming cherry flowers beyond any words to say.
春天來了, 樹上鳥兒齊歡唱, 多麼多麼的盼望, 握住妳的手, 走在鄉間的小路上, 看盡那小橋流水, 養鴨人家, 美麗的田園風光, 陶醉在大自然動人的樂章
Yes, Spring is finally here, with birds singing happily together in harmony over the tree top, I have so much repeated expectation in mind non-stop. Tenderly holding your hands while strolling through the narrow walkways in the village, viewing with 20/20 the tiny bridge with the sound of dripping stream underneath. And along with down-to-earth villagers raising ducklings just hard to believe, I was totally embracing such a pastoral beauty in a trance of sleep, yet deeply moved by nature's divine symphony that is forever to keep.
春天來了, 蝴蝶也忙著飛成雙, 從仰光到台北, 從台北到金山. "縱然是往事如雲烟, 偏偏想見妳一面, 明知道海誓山盟已過去, 還是默默惦記著妳"
No doubt Spring is definitely here, even the butterflies are busy flying in pairs, all the way from capital to capital: Rangoon to Taipei, & onward to San Francisco, that we old folks still around used to call the 'Golden Mount'. Despite past memories appear only as smoky cloud upfront, yet I still deliberately would like just to see you even if only once! Yes, knowing well that our vows would not hold for good, yet I still treasure that deep feeling for you in the bottom of my heart with a silent mood.

緬甸華僑抗戰歲月 · 僑生舊夢之見證民國中興

Wayne Chang (莊偉華校友) of Toronto, Canada

Burmese National Basketball Team, 1968–1974

Wayne Chang attended Catholic Anglo-Chinese School from Kindergarten A in 1958 to 4th Standard in 1962.

Outstanding local Chinese players in Burma are customarily drafted into Burmese national team (緬甸國家籃球代表隊) to play in international basketball games. The Burmese national team is also called upon to play friendly games with visiting American and Chinese teams that come to Burma on goodwill missions. Three former students of Catholic-Anglo Chinese School were chosen at different times to play on the Burmese national teams. Wayne Chang was one of those honored players. He played on the Burmese national team from 1968 to 1974. In 1973, he and his fellow Burmese national team members were sent on a month-long tour of Chinese and North Korean cities to play friendly games with local teams in those two countries. He prematurely retired from the Burmese national team at the end of 1974 to prepare for his immigration to Canada. He landed in Canada in early 1976. He now lives happily with his wife and their unmarried son in Toronto.

The Street Climbers of San Francisco

In Memory of Sunny Chou (曹庚璇校友) · by Henry Lim

Sunny Chou, born in 1949, excelled in Chinese at CACS. The textbook in his Chinese class was a piece of cake for Sunny. He read Chinese martial-art novels (武俠小說), while his classmates were struggling with their Chinese homework. Aung Kyaw (邱思強校友), who was one of his classmates, said that when he was stuck in his class assignments, he would turn to Sunny for help. Sunny was like a private tutor to Aung Kyaw.

Disenchanted with Gen. Ne Win's socialist government, Sunny left Burma for Macau by himself in 1965. When he arrived there, he enrolled in a high school. After completing high school, Sunny found work at a garment factory. The job required him to iron the clothes the factory manufactured, but he did not complain about his job. He saved as much money as he could. He married Polly Fong (馮寶玉女士) in 1974. After saving enough money, he quit the factory job and opened his own 4-in-1 taxi company. In this business, Sunny and his workers not only transported travelers, but also leased cars to businesses, repaired cars for customers, and provided driver training to customers. He once told me that he was so busy in those days that he just ate a pork or chicken bun every day as his lunch. The business was successful, but he was not complacent. He was aware that he needed to free up part of his time to figure out ways to grow his business. So, he started to train his trusted workers to take on more responsibilities.

Sunny was passionate about cooking, so he and Polly opened their own restaurant that featured Burmese and Chinese foods. He split his hours between his taxi business and the restaurant. While Sunny and his helpers prepared Chinese dishes, Polly and her helpers cooked Burmese food for their customers. Their restaurant business took off in a relatively short time. Sunny then reduced his hours in his taxi business and put more hours in his restaurant business. He also made another important adjustment that would eventually let Polly stay home and take care of their children. He asked Polly to start training her helpers in Burmese cooking. As Sunny was a natural-born entrepreneur and engaged in light conversation with his customers, his restaurant business also grew exponentially.

Together they had two sons and two daughters. Sunny instilled the importance of education in his children. He sent their two daughters to universities in the United States soon after they completed high school in Macau. Polly said her husband enticed their eldest son Morris to major in medicine by offering the latter a new car. But Morris eventually chose accounting over medicine as his major in a university. When their two daughters got their citizenship in the States, Sunny and Polly retired, rented out their businesses and emigrated to the United States. Their eldest son stayed behind in Macau. Their elder daughter Lisa is an accountant and the younger daughter is a pharmacist. Their youngest son Kenneth graduated in finance, learned pearl tea making techniques (珍珠奶茶技術) in Taiwan with his wife, and is currently managing his own boba milk tea business (珍珠奶茶店) in San Francisco.

Sunny and Polly arrived in the U.S. as new immigrants in 2006. In that year, a fellow alumnus Alfred Chin introduced me to Sunny. Alfred told me that Sunny would like to meet with his childhood friends from CACS. So, I took him with me to countless WHAA meetings and potluck parties, picnics and Chinese New Year banquets. On Sunday mornings, Sunny and I would meet at a location near my house and climb the steepest streets in our neighborhood or walk leisurely to places, such as museums, parks, and ocean beaches.

When we were climbing a steep street, we did not talk with each other in order to preserve our energies. We just focused on climbing, making multiple stops here and there to catch our breaths and wipe away the sweat off our faces. Then we climbed some more. Our moment of joy came when we reached the top of a targeted hill. After a few minutes' rest at the hilltop, we would turn around and look way down at the magnificent views of San Francisco. Sunny and I found street climbing very rewarding. One Sunday morning, he asked me if we could increase the frequency of climbing hilly streets from once a week to twice a week, but I replied with a polite "No, thanks." because in those days I was busy on weekdays and Saturdays.

When we were on leisurely walks, besides seeing the neighborhoods and taking a tour of the interesting places at the destinations, Sunny and I would share with each other our views on geopolitics and other hot issues. Sunny was a very organized man. He would have in his pockets a few neatly-folded used but clean plastic bags and a 4"x4" notebook, which he had cut and made out of marketing handouts passed out by local real estate agents on weekends. Sunny would jot down on the notebook for later reading the English words, phrases or idioms I shared with him during the walks. At my request, he would correct my Cantonese that I practiced with him. In order to benefit me, he even encouraged me to speak more Cantonese than Mandarin with him, for which I am forever grateful to Sunny Chou. I was surprised to find that Sunny remembered the strokes of many difficult-to-write Chinese characters. From time to time, we would go out to eat lunch together at a buffet restaurant in Daly City. We also traveled together with a few other alumni friends to Mount Shasta in Northern California and Crater Lake National Park in Oregon.

Sunny was well off, but not extravagant. He liked to write on recycled paper. He despised any kind of waste. No matter how large and crumpled a few used plastic bags were, he could smooth them out, fold and fit them snugly in his hip pocket. He always shared one of these plastic bags with me when we shopped together at Chinese grocery stores or supermarkets during our walking trips. A lower-quality plastic bag was sold 10 cents a piece. Sunny was a decent man and I enjoyed his company. To this day, when I walk up a steep street in my neighborhood, I remember Sunny as well as the times I spent climbing, walking and traveling together with him.

(Epilogue: Sunny Chou (曹庚璇校友) passed away in San Francisco in 2018.)

Reunion with Old Classmate

Nora Kay & Jean Chow King (周婉君)

Jean Chow King is known to most of her friends by her Chinese name Chow Wan Jun (周婉君). She is smart and intelligent. One always saw her reading a book. Among the many books she read are martial arts novels (武俠小說). On top of that, she is also a very good storyteller. Nora Kay recalled that when they were together, Jean would tirelessly told her the stories she had read. Thus, the two became good friends.

Nora and her sister Lena and their friend Jean were enrolled in St. Emilies" Convent as boarders at a very young age. Nora and Lena left SE after studying there for 5 and a half years. While Nora transferred to Hua Zhong High School, Jean remained at Wan Hua until she finished her Matriculation. Many years had passed since then. Surprisingly, Nora and Jean were reunited in their RASU Chemistry class in 1964. But it did not last long because Jean left RASU during her second year for Taiwan to continue her education there. Twenty years later, Nora and Jean met again in California when Nora was on vacation visiting her sister Lena in Irvine, California.

Living in a neighboring city, Jean came to see her longtime friend Nora at Lena's house. It was a kind of visit that warmed Nora's heart. The trio – Nora, Jean and Lena – endlessly chatted with one another in Lena's living room as time flied away. Upon leaving, Jean told Nora that she would give Nora and her kids a tour of interesting places in the vicinity of her city.

A couple of days later, Nora and Jean and their children set out in 2 cars visiting kids' entertainment places and Jean's new home under construction. While the two adult friends reminisced about their good old days back home in Burma, their American-born kids were busy playing with one another. The tour ended with a visit to Jean's cozy house. The two families enjoyed the moments they were together. It was indeed a happy day for them.

Nora and her kids returned to their home in Chicago. Life was very busy for working mothers like Nora and Jean. They lost contact with each other.

Decades later, Nora and her family moved to their new home in California. For years, Nora had been looking for Jean without any success. Last year Nora searched through California State Board of Pharmacy website for any bit of information that could help her find her pharmacist friend Jean. The search turned out to be very successful. Elated, Nora immediately got in touch with Jean and they met for a nice lunch at a restaurant in southern California (Pictured above).

A Buffet with Peter Chiu (Chao Pi Hong)

Visiting Alumnus from Vancouver, Canada · September 2008

Peter Chiu, a Wan Hua alumnus from Canada, and his wife Anne were on a 3-day visit in San Francisco in September 2008. Peter used to live on 30th Street near Royal Theatre in Rangoon. Soccer was his passion in those days. Currently Peter is Vice-President of the Burmese association in Vancouver. David J.Wong, who shared an apartment with Peter when they were living in Hong Kong, threw a party in Peter and Anne's honor at Beijing Restaurant in South San Francisco. Toward the end of the lunch, Peter said that he would be back next time to meet with other fellow alumni in San Francisco.
