Quietly Nurturing Warmly Illuminating
SCCC CEO Yulan Chung said : “ The power of culture is like a gentle rain—it nourishes lives quietly and deeply within our communities.”
“The most moving form of culture does not live only in words or on stage, but in every life that continues to create, to give, and to shine.”
Chung emphasized that “Amazing HuaYi is more than documentation—it’s culture in action.It begins with people, proving that culture isn’t a distant idea, but a living light we can see and feel.”
Passing the Torch A Legacy in Light
The launch of Amazing HuaYi marks a new chapter in cultural storytelling.
The SCCCC will continue to share the inspiring life stories of Chinese Americans—
keeping this light alive, shining across generations.
