Amazing HuaYi August 2026 Issue launches today !
Centered on “Voicing Today, Naming History,” it traces the journeys of six Chinese Americans through professional achievement, the arts, community service, and cultural heritage—helping the next generation see where we came from and how we got here.
Monument Raised, Memory Restored
In May, the City of Santa Ana dedicated a monument to its Chinatown, destroyed by a city-ordered fire 120 years ago.
A Chinese community once erased by flames finally reclaimed its name, while memories nearly buried by time returned to public view.
The monument reminds us that history does not live only in the past. Choices worth preserving are being made today, and stories future generations may seek are unfolding all around us.
The memories restored by this monument echo the mission Amazing HuaYi has carried since its November 2025 launch: to begin with people and capture history as it unfolds.
As the South Coast Chinese Cultural Association’s official bilingual quarterly, Amazing HuaYi profiles Chinese Americans across fields and generations—capturing how they put down roots, broke new ground, and gave back to their communities.
Yulan Chung, CEO of the South Coast Chinese Cultural Center, said Amazing HuaYi was never meant to be just a magazine, but a lasting platform for Chinese American stories—preserving this generation’s journeys, choices, and contributions.
She added that when one life story is thoughtfully preserved, it becomes more than a record: it helps families and communities understand one another and shows the next generation how their parents and grandparents found their way.
Different Paths, Shared Purpose
Spanning music, humanitarian service, science, theater, Chinese medicine, youth innovation, and community service, the six people featured in Issue 4 bring that mission to life.
David Wen turned adversity into music, scoring life’s upheavals as a symphony. Debra Boudreaux has spent decades building bridges between people and cultures around the world.
Fu-Tong Liu crossed the boundaries of chemistry, immunology, and medicine, using glycoscience to unlock life’s unknowns. Peter Jia stepped away from the spotlight, then built a new stage far from home to keep the theater's light alive.
Patricia Lee carries forward three generations of Chinese medicine, watching over new life one pulse at a time. Charles Wu takes racing beyond the finish line—toward engineering, bird conservation, and service.
Their six journeys offer no single formula for success, but share one direction: each looks beyond personal achievement, putting knowledge, passion, and compassion to work for others, their communities, and the wider world.
Bilingual Voices, Wider Reach
How can these stories travel farther? With its August 2026 issue, Amazing HuaYi takes a major step.
This issue, Amazing HuaYi launches its first English podcast alongside its Chinese program—taking Chinese American stories farther.
New Chinese and English YouTube playlists on LINE also carry these stories beyond the page—to be heard, shared, and passed on.

Together, these new channels carry Chinese American stories from page to voice—and from one generation to the next.
This is more than an expansion of platforms. It is an important step toward bringing Chinese American experiences into broader society and carrying them further into the future.
