Lai Wan was born in Canton, China. She moved to Macau in 1952 (her absolute favorite place) and then to Hong Kong in 1959. She moved to the United States in 1961 where she became a US Citizen on November 16, 1964. In China she worked as a teacher. When she arrived in the US she worked tirelessly in the grocery business before she taught herself personal investing, which brought her great fulfillment and satisfaction.
Lai Wan got to experience the joy of traveling both domestically and internationally, but her greatest joy was spending time with family members as well as friends and neighbors whose love and kindness made them part of her family.
