Name/Title
Oak Center Towers - Yun Ke Liang - Prosperous FishesDescription
Art is something to hold on to for Yun Ke Liang. After years of serious health issues and the death of her husband in 2006, she admits she doesn't know what she'd do without her art class, which helps relax and calm her. She now picks up her pen and brush for two hours on her own almost every Saturday.
Born in China in 1939, in her youth Yun loved singing, music, dance, reading and anything related to the arts. A heart problem limited her life to the responsibilities of being a housewife and caring for her son and daughter. She came to the U.S. in 1997, where she was able to embark on a new life following heart surgery in 2005. She is now able to practice tai chi once a week.
Yun is happy with her children and grandchildren, one of whom was crowned KTSF's Miss Chinatown. When they visit they often even bring her art supplies. As she says, "Art makes me appreciate my life."
