Message from the Editor

Welcome to the 9th issue of the Yee Fung Toy Global Village Voice, an electronic newsletter for the World Yee community. In this issue we are featuring stories and images of autumn activities from associations of the Yee Fung Toy around the world, including celebrations of the Mid-autumn Festival, Scholarship awards and education in general.

As the year ends, we congratulate the World Yee Family Association for successfully hosting its 3rd Convention in Southern California (see the last issue for details). It was an opportunity to reconnect with old friends and make new ones. Two of the outstanding individuals that I met for the second time at the Convention are featured in this issue: Edward Yue and Dr. David Yee. We gratefully acknowledge all the contributors to the current issue, including:

  • Andy Yu and Frank Yee of New York
  • Chu Choi Yu and Winston Yee of New England
  • Martin Yee and Wing Yee of Vancouver
  • Melinda Yee and Tin-Won Yee of Sacramento

Happy New Year and the best of the season to all!


2006 Scholarship Award Day in New York

On August 5, 2006, the Yee Fong Toy Association of New York announced the 100 scholarship winners at its annual scholarship award ceremony. As in the past, the event started at 12:00 noon with the traditional ancestor worship at the Association旧 office and continued at 1pm at the Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association旧 auditorium at 62 Mott St. Our guest speaker this year, joining us from Albany, was Ms. Lai Sun Yee. For the past few years, Lai Sun has been very generous with providing her time to our association. She is the General Counsel to the New York State Emergency Management Office and is the President of the Asian American Bar Association of New York.

We are also fortunate to have Mrs. Kennie Yee as our emcee. Kennie always does a terrific job here, as well as with our Spring Banquet, just as if a professional would. She started first by introducing our Eastern U.S. Grand President Peter Yee, Grand Advisor John B. Yee, Advisor Hem Fook Yee, Advisor Andy Yu, Advisor Shu Chan Yu, President Kenneth Yee, Vice President Gong Sum, Legal Counsel Ms. Suk Wah Mah, guest speaker Ms. Lai Sun Yee, our special guests cousins from the Mah and Tse Associations. After some formalities, Kenneth welcomed everyone and spoke briefly about this year scholarship. Unique to this year was the donation of $10,000 from family of Grand Elder Dit Nam Yu. Uncle Dit Nam was a strong believer in excellence in education and the $2000 given out this year will help four students continue to achieve that. Peter spoke about the importance of memberships and the donations collected for this year旧 National Convention held in LA on August 12-16, 2006. For the next three years, the annual allocation for scholarship moneys from San Francisco Headquarters is based on those numbers. He used for example Columbus, Ohio where there are only 40 members; their allocation will be much smaller than New York. He hopes that everyone understands and all the scholarship winners continue to excel in school. Andy spoke briefly and introduced our guest speaker Ms. Lai Sun Yee. Besides Lai Sun旧 job serving the public, she has a master旧 degree in security studies from the Naval Postgraduate School, received her JD from Cornell Law School and her BA from Cornell University. He then asked Peter, Kenneth, Gong Sum and Ms. Mah to come forward to present Lai Sun with an official framed certificate acknowledging her position as Honorary General Counsel for our association.

Following a short photo op, Lai Sun thanked everyone for the honor. She spoke to the audience about following your dreams. Throughout life, people will give you advice. Lai Sun continued emphasizing that one needs to find a comfort level, to be true to who you are when pursuing your passion and dreams. She spoke about her experience during September 11, 2001. In the midst of the terrorist attack, she was on her way to the New York City Office of Emergency Management where she works in the World Trade Center. She saw the destruction, but knew she had to do her job. Lai Sun continued to tell how this event inspired her to pursue more homeland security and defense studies and to move on as General Counsel for the New York State Emergency Management Office. Most importantly, she said we should do what we enjoy. Job titles are just titles. Learn as much as we can in the pursuit of our dreams and when there is a chance, we can give back to the community.

New England YFT Celebrates Winter Solstice - DongZhi

The astronomical event of the winter solstice, occurring around December 21 or 22 each year in the northern hemisphere, and June 21 or 22 in the Southern Hemisphere is the shortest day of the year. The winter solstice can be, but is usually not, also the darkest night of the year, which takes into account the full moon.

The Winter Solstice Festival ("The Extreme of Winter") is one of the most important festivals celebrated by the Chinese and other East Asians during the DongZhi solar term on or around December 21 when sunshine is weakest and daylight shortest; i.e., on the first day of the DongZhi solar term. The origins of this festival can be traced back to the Yin and Yang philosophy of balance and harmony in the cosmos. After this celebration, there will be days with longer daylight hours and therefore an increase in positive energy flowing in.

Traditionally, the DongZhi Festival is also a time for the family to get together. One activity that occurs during these get togethers (especially in the southern parts of China and in Chinese communities overseas) is the making and eating of Tong Yuen or balls of glutinuous rice, which symbolize reunion. Tong Yuen are made of glutinuous rice flour and sometimes brightly colored. Every one in the family receives at least one large Tong Yuen and several small ones. The flour balls may be plain or stuffed. They are cooked in a sweet soup or savory broth with both the ball and the soup/broth served in one bowl.

The New England YFT members celebrated Winter Solstice on Sunday, December 17, a few days early...

On that day, YFT members arrived early in the morning and helped to prepare the Tong Yuen which later were served in soup, the young folks helped to cut up the vegetables, everyone had an enjoyable get together lunch.

AAAA award to
                  Eddie

When Frank T.C.Yue and Mary Yue came to America from Toisan Province, China in 1935, little did they know that from a family of 5 children, Eddie would be the one to follow in his father旧 footsteps and become a major leader in the Phoenix Asian and Chinese community. As an investigator for the Maricopa County Public Defenders Office for 35 years, Edward developed the necessary skills in working with people and the different organizations throughout the Valley.

Presently, Edward is President of the Chinese United Association of Greater Phoenix and has done much in serving the 16 different service organizations. The Chinese membership is appreciative of his work in helping with its needs and his continued availability in serving his community.

Edward, at the present time, is National Grand Marshall and local President of the Chinese American Citizens Alliance For many years, he has championed the legal rights of Asians as American citizens living in our country.

Edward has also served as President of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce and helped Chinese businesses be recognized as being a major part of the economic growth of the City of Phoenix. Phoenix is now the fifth largest city in the United States with a growing and prospering Chinese population.

Like his father, Edward has had a big heart for the Yee Family here in Phoenix. He has worked endlessly in the Yee Fong Toy Family organization for many years and has devoted much of his time with member needs and recognition in Phoenix and the rest of the country.

An Army veteran, Edward is Second Vice- Commander of the Thomas Tang American Legion Post 50. At the present time, his goal is to make sure all Phoenix Chinese veterans who served in the Armed Forces are not forgotten and that Chinese veterans are recognized as true American Union soldiers who fought for our country during the Civil War.

Every Year AAAA recognizes special individuals who have served their community well and have made outstanding services to the Asian American community. All of the award winning individuals have excelled in their professions, provided exemplary service to their communities, provided great service to the Asian-American Community, and made achievements that have benefited the community.

Dr. David Yee's Medical Trip to Vietnam

It旧 8 a.m. as our taxi pulls up to Binh Dan Hospital in Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City). The largest urology hospital in Vietnam with 260 beds, it has a referral base of 40,000,000 and a staff of 20 urologists and residents.

For the visiting International Volunteers in Urology (IVU) and Friendship Bridge (FB) team from America, Binh Dan Hospital provides a golden opportunity to teach as well as to learn from our Vietnamese colleagues. Leading our group is John Hall from Petoskey, Michigan and Gene Heller from Denver, Colorado, both community urologists. Heller had previously traveled to Saigon with FB eight years ago and is anxious to see the changes made during his absence. Jamie Kanofsky, a senior resident from New York University and myself from UC Irvine round out our diverse group.

welcoming party

Urology Chief Vu Le Chuyen and five other men in white coats warmly greet us in the conference room for introductions and tea. Chuyen spryly leads our team on a tour of the hospital and across the street to the new private hospital. The private hospital highlights the disparity between the have and the have nots and old and new Saigon. I did not return here since my main interest as an IVU scholar was to treat the indigent poor of which the old hospital did not go lacking.

After changing into white cotton scrubs with its own attached face mask, I eagerly scrub in on my first case, an open retroperitoneal nephrolithotomy. Coming from a minimally invasive urology program, I am particularly interested in open stone surgery. Before long, the patient旧 staghorn calculus is out for open stone surgery to my Vietnamese colleagues is routine. Urolithiasis comprises nearly seventy percent of their surgical volume.

Because of the sheer volume of stone disease in Vietnam and the lack of equipment for percutaneous nephrolithotripsy and flexible ureteroscopy, our colleagues often apply novel approaches to stone treatment, such as laparoscopic retroperitoneal ureterolithotomy. The Vietnamese are particularly adept at retroperitoneal laparoscopy and routinely do nephrectomy and pyeloplasty. Even an extraperitoneal radical prostatectomy is not impossible for these fearless surgeons.

Since PSA screening is not routinely performed, prostate cancer treatment is rare. Even so I did do a bilateral simple orchiectomy on an elderly patient recently diagnosed with prostate cancer. Bladder cancer, on the other hand, is relatively common possibly related to the prevalence of cigarette smoking. On the last day, I learned how to use a straight needle to sew the ileum into a Hautmann pouch for an orthotopic neobladder, a time-saving technique my Vietnamese mentor learned from his French colleague. The Vietnamese still have close professional ties to the French dating back to the colonialism era. Others have traveled to America to learn advanced techniques in urologic surgery.

The operating room is a study in contrasts. The ventilators and LCD monitors are state of the art, but the scissors are dull and there is only one Debakey forcep in the instrument tray. The instrument trays are over thirty years old. Almost everything is recycled, and the gowns, drapes, towels, and instruments will all be washed and reused. It is a striking reminder of the material waste produced by our disposable operating room back home. For laparoscopy, luxuries such as the argon beam coagulator, Ligasure, or harmonic scalpel are nowhere to be found. Instead, I found myself doing a laparoscopic nephrectomy with the most basic instruments of a 5 mm Babcock forceps and a 10 mm Maryland dissector. And for taking the renal vessels, 10 mm clip appliers substituted for the prohibitively expensive laparoscopic GIA stapler.

With limited resources and patients with little means, the Vietnamese have even made closing wounds an art form. Since the annual income of a Vietnamese family averages $600, even a single suture costing 40,000 dong or $2.50 in U.S. dollars is not a pittance. At the old hospital, most have no medical insurance and pay out of pocket. A TURP costs $200 or 4 months salary.

Outside the operating room, the courtyard is crowded with patients waiting to see a physician and the narrow hallways are lined with anxious families waiting for their loved ones to recover. Some families sleep on straw mats covering the floor and bring food to their family member since it is not included in the relatively inexpensive $1 daily hospitalization stay. Patients dressed in light blue hospital pajamas are often six to a room. There is little if any privacy.

My decision to become an IVU Traveling Resident Scholar arises from my interest in international health and from my family's long history in medicine. In 1850, my great-great-great grandfather, Dr. Fan-Chung Yee, immigrated to America from Canton, China, and initiated our family旧 long medical tradition. He arrived in the old Gold Rush boom town of Fiddletown, California, and soon established a practice as an herbal doctor, attending to the medical needs of the Chinese miners, and later to those of the Chinese laborers working on the transcontinental railroad. Establishing a tradition, his descendants also dedicated themselves to healing others.

During my trip to Vietnam, I gained a deeper appreciation of the difficulty in practicing urology in a developing country. Not only did I see varied urologic disease sometimes presenting at much later stages, but I also learned how those diseases were managed given the limited resources. Operating at Binh Dan Hospital has raised my awareness of this country旧 urologic disease, particularly urolithiasis and its public health impact.

During my residency training, I have listened to the amazing IVU experiences of others. I am proud to become a part of this noble tradition. I hope to apply the knowledge and skills I have acquired in teaching others and serving those less fortunate.
