He worked as an attorney in California for seven years.

As a man of curiosity with respect to concurrent technological advancements, he made plans to register a website startup company in China at the age of 44. Although the outcomes of rising amidst the technological giants were not ideal, he was able to gain more insight through his 10 years of experience in this field and continued to view the world in a positive light.

Despite of his years of struggles with critical medical conditions, his enthusiasm for comprehending the philosophical meaning of life, exploring the world and its beauty, and dedicating time for engaging conversations from the area of science to philosophy to gardening never ended. His constant enthusiasm and passion always radiated through him and upon everyone in the room. His strong will taught us to keep trying and keep fighting when met with obstacles in life. His strong sense of family always made us feel loved and cared for.

His legacy will be carried on and remembered by his wife, Hui Li; daughter, Francene; and his two sisters, Xia and Qiuxia Wang. He was a man of curiosity, a man of enthusiasm and never-ending passion, a man who was a great husband and father, and a man who will forever be remembered in our hearts till the world’s end.
