Grace. She earned a bachelors degree from the University of Michigan and a law degree from the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law at Yeshiva University. Grace’s office is on the 38th street of Flushing, New York. Flushing is now one of the biggest enclaves for Chinese immigrants, especially new immigrants who are from mainland China and speak Mandarin. There are often long lines of people waiting to see Grace and her assistants. Most them are elder Chinese who have questions about many things including housing, health care and welfare. Grace is known for her insistence in promoting rights for elder people and youth. Grace considers herself to be Chinese American rather than pure Chinese or American. “On one hand, I’m born and educated here in the U.S., I’m first American.” Says Grace, “But on the other hand, I’m from this Chinese community. My family are all Chinese. I would love to give back to the Chinese community in New York.”
