JEFFREY BROWN:
The story begins with this man, C.Y. Lee, now 84. In the '50s, the Chinese-born Lee was living here in San Francisco's Chinatown, working on a local newspaper and writing a story with characters familiar to him– a strong-willed, tradition-bound father. "Master Wang Chi-Yang," Lee wrote, "was one of those who could not live anywhere else in the United States, but in San Francisco Chinatown." And his son, Wang Ta, studying to be a doctor and a young American– "quiet and unhappy at 28, he was often embarrassed in his father's company."
