We have all seen media coverage of the horrific unprovoked attacks on Asian people. Today’s story provides a view into the effects of anti-Asian prejudice from the perspective of an Asian couple who spent 50 years in a loving marriage in America, and how they succeeded despite the many barriers and effects of discrimination. This is a love story, a story of perseverance despite the challenges. This is the story of Richard Cheu and is a tribute to his late wife Janey.
