The story is he located a local <em>traditional Chinese medicine<\/em> 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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&#8217;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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"879\" src=\"https:\/\/miltonliu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/image.jpeg\" alt=\"This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is IMG_0516uncle-1024x879.jpg\" class=\"wp-image-254\" style=\"width:539px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/miltonliu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/image.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/miltonliu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/image-300x258.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/miltonliu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/image-768x659.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/miltonliu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/image-315x270.jpeg 315w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Li\u00e1ng Xi\u0101o (\u6881\u8427), my uncle, passed away in 2023.
