Remembering my Uncle, Liáng Xiāo
Liáng Xiāo (梁萧), my uncle, passed away in 2023. He was the oldest of three siblings, with two little sisters: my aunt and my mom. He had one son, who also is a father, making him a grandfather.

It was not until after my uncle passed away that I learned more about him, and about how he looked out for me when I was a baby. The story is he located a local traditional Chinese medicine expert to help treat a serious skin disease I was suffering from; American/Western medicines were not working. My mom applied the new treatment for me, I recovered, and we returned to the US.
He was a very thoughtful man, according to family members. He spent most of his years hard at work to provide for his family, mostly as a mechanical engineer. Unfortunately, I don’t have many personal memories of him, but thankfully I have many pictures and stories. I cannot help but notice he always has a happy smile in them. He is deeply missed by many.
