Chong Wong
September 23, 1924 — November 28, 2017
Chong Fa Wong, born in Changhai County, China, moved to Hong Kong after marrying his wife, Chen Liu, in 1943. Chong Fa worked as a carpenter on a ship to provide for his family. He and Chen Liu had four children - Frank, Owen, Sammy, and Ling. In hopes of seeking the “American Dream,” Chong Fa sold his house, immigrated to the United States in 1985, and used the profits to open his own restaurant, bringing his own twist on southern Chinese cuisine to the people of Leavenworth, Kansas. Chong Fa managed the restaurant for many years before retiring in comfort and leaving the restaurant to his sons.
Chong Fa, 93, passed away on November 28, 2017, surrounded by family in Lansing, Kansas.
