My parents are the founders of lely and eva Company Since 1970. As growing up in china town, i remember that our shop was theit was like the emporium in china town because they sold many different products, different stages, all imported from hong kong and china. They really want to instill the richness of our heritage, culture and tradition and my parents continue to work really hard to provide for the family and keep the business afloat, but they always kept busy with promoting concerts, chinese opera, just trying to promote the tradition. Today we after 53 years of all these products and so forth, following by dad at 2013 decided maybe it was time to retire. My brother allen stepped up and said, i have a different plan, so now both of them are jamming a different tune.
