and father were both originally born in Shanghai, China and eventually
each
found their way to the United States. My father, George S. Wu, left Shanghai
just prior to the 1949 communist revolution to study engineering at Taida
University in Taipei, Taiwan. After completing his undergraduate degree
he continued his studies in the United States where he obtained his Master's
degree. My mother, Diana T. Wu also left Shanghai at around the same
time and ended up in Hong Kong where she attended high school she then
eventually
left to attend New York University. It was there in New York city where
my parents met and eventually got married and finally moved West to California.
It was here in San Francisco where my mother eventually obtained her
PhD. in psychology and began to raise the family. I am the youngest of three children, with two elder sisters before me.
Growing as a Chinese in America was a very interesting experience because
it forced
me to live a dual or double identity. With my friends I walked, talked
and acted like and American but at home I was always a Chinese. But because
of my parents educational background education came first and foremost
above anything else. And because of this my parents pushed me in all
aspects of education. After completing high school I went on to the University
of Oregon where I pursued my degree in Architecture. By graduation (June
1997) I had completed a five-year professional degree in Architecture
and
a minor degree in Art History with honors and a scholarship. Although education was a center point in my life, the most significant
change in my life came when I was just 11 years old. This is when I began
to
study Chinese Kung Fu. As a child I always loved watching Kung Fu movies,
so
finally I decided to learn it for real. When I did join, it opened a
whole new world for me that lead to a greater self-understanding. Not only
did
I learn about fighting, discipline and honor but most importantly I learned
a great deal about Chinese culture. My master taught me much about what
it meant to be a Chinese and after several years I realised how proud I
was to be Chinese, no matter where I was living. This knowledge, I feel,
sets me apart from other ABC's in that I no longer feel that I am living
a dual life of American and Chinese but rather I am A Person with a history,
a culture and a past that is Chinese. And it is this, after years of perseverance
and hard training that I feel has affected my life the most. TRAVELS I had the opportunity at an early age to travel and has become a basic
habit of mine. My travels include: 1. Asia:
Hong Kong, Taiwan, Mainland China, Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand,
Japan 2. Europe:
England, France, Germany, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, Denmark, Holland,
Belgium, Italy, Spain 3. Others:
