In 1973 Yuing Liu immigrated to the United States with other members of her family and started several Chinese restaurants in the Northern Virginia area. She was a hard worker, and despite her age, she could out-work anyone in the restaurant. She liked to play the Chinese game of mahjong. She often stayed up all night playing and still went to work the next day. Her energy was amazing. Yuing Liu retired at the age of 86. In retirement she enjoyed playing casino slot machines, entertaining family and friends in her home, and watching TV. Yuing Liu was witty and had a wonderful sense of humor.
