Dalton Roberts: Locals befriend Chinese couple

Commentary by Dalton Roberts

My sister, June, loves to eat at China King on Highway 58. She fell in love with the Chinese family who owns it, especially Shan Shan “Coco” Yu. I must say it: She is one of the most beautiful women I have ever seen.

“Coco” is freshly married to Jack Jin – or at least she thought she was. They had gone to the courthouse and bought a marriage license, and they thought that meant they were married. Friends soon told them that in America you are not married until you have a wedding ceremony.

Coco and Jack were distressed because the license had expired, and they were feeling the pinch of having much of their capital invested in their new business. Another complicating factor was that she was pregnant.

Coco explained the situation to June. My sister is one of those rare Christians who feels when she runs into someone with a problem, she must solve it before moving on. I once wrote a column about some of her “Mercy Bus” expeditions, and suffice it here to say, they are continual as are the blessings that always flow from such a lifestyle.
