Restauranteur traded Chinese government job for life in U.S.

DANVILLE – Daisy Liu, owner of Green Island Chinese Restaurant in downtown Danville, knows most of the faces who come for the lunch buffet during the work week.

On a recent Monday afternoon, with a few customers lingering over a late lunch and the regular lunch crowds gone, Liu took advantage of the quieter restaurant to tell, in both Chinese and English, about how she came to Danville from the region of Guangxi, where she lived a life of privilege and wealth.
