An Immigrant's Improbable Journey to Becoming Mayor
Book Synopsis
My family and I immigrated from Hong Kong to Los Angeles’ Chinatown in the 1960s hoping to build a better life. Instead, we found ourselves living in a cockroach-ridden apartment, and I was beaten up regularly at school. As a child, I often wondered why we had chosen America as our new home.
What followed was a journey I never could have imagined—from Chinatown to college, engineering, corporate leadership, public service, and eventually City Hall. Along the way came setbacks, unexpected opportunities, and experiences that rarely made sense in the moment.
The Accidental Mayor is a collection of those stories—and the lessons in resilience, family, opportunity, and moving forward that emerged along the way.
