Notes
Description
Orphaned as a child, Lu Chi Fa survived brutality and starvation in China during and after World War II. Once sold for two sacks of rice, in 1951 he fled to Hong Kong and Taiwan for a better life and immigrated to the United States in 1969. He and Becky White told that story in Double Luck: Memoirs of a Chinese Orphan; in 2001 it won the Parents' Choice Foundation Gold Award. This book adds details about Lu Chi Fa's early life and follows his quest to create good fortune, the culmination of a childhood yearning to escape povery and hunger. Despite problems and the lingering effects of chilhood abuse, he succeeded. He ran several succcessful businesses in Southern California and in 1990 moved to Morro Bay where he has owned The Coffee Pot restaurant ever since.
