Pat S. Fung, age 95, of Concord, MA, died on Sunday, January 21, 2018 in Concord. She was the wife of the late Mui Kit Lee. Pat was born in a very small town, Zhongshan, located in Southern China and was the daughter of the late Henry Fung and Yukwan Yeung. Pat first set foot in America when she was about 10 years old. She and her mother sailed many days on a ship with heart and soul for the American dream, yearning to be united with her father in California. They landed on Angel Island where they spent about six months, later returning to China due to un-cleared documents. With the greatest disappointment she returned to her homeland, started her schooling in China, learning the Three Character Classic, the embodiment of Confucianism in first grade. She grew up in a very traditional and old-fashioned family. She was a very devoted mother to her five children. She spent a great deal of time with her late husband in Guangzhou (Canton), minding their textile retail business until the Communists of China took away all private citizen businesses during the late 1950's. She knew that for the family to survive, they had to leave China for Hong Kong. She resided in Hong Kong employed as a skilled worker at a manufacturing textile company until the early 80's, after her husband passed away. In the mid 1980's Pat landed in the US again, residing in Brookline and Maynard. She spent the first 10 years periodically traveling between the US and Hong Kong. Then in later years she lived with her two daughters in Sudbury and Concord. She took her last trip to Hong Kong in 2010 and lived there for 3 years. She enjoyed gardening and wrote many poems in her life time, which all reflected her life experiences during the time she lived in China and her memories of Angel Island. She was a fantastic cook and writing a cookbook passed down to her grandchildren. She endured personal and family struggles during World War II, when the Kuomintang (Republic of China) fought with the Communists (Chinese Civil War) and the Japanese invaded China and later when the Communists took over China, Land Reform period and the Great Leap Forward Movements. But she never gave up HOPE. She believed in America as a land of opportunity for all. Her American dream never died. Her philosophy was 'you must move forward, not retreat, when there is conflict, turn big problems into small ones, and small problems into no problems at all. San Cong Si De', translate to morality, proper speech, modest manner and diligent work of women in ancient China; spiritual fetters of wifely submission and virtue imposed on women in feudal society, such philosophy guided her through her adulthood. She is survived by her five children & their spouses, Hoksze Lee of China, Hoklai Lee and his wife Kwan of Hong Kong, Hokmo Lee and his wife Michelle of Newton, MA, Kathy and her husband Dr. Johnny Kui of Concord, MA, and Vera and her husband Kenyon Chin of Chelmsford, MA. Pat is also survived by her eleven proud grandchildren; Derek Lee, Andrew Lee, Jennifer Lee, Dr. Yuk Lee, Lut Lee, Dr. Monica Lee, Eric Lee, Hanley Kui, Alex Kui, Remington Chin, and Ting Ting Lee and also three great-grandchildren. A private service will be held at the Dee Funeral Home followed by her cremation at Newton Crematory. Her ashes will be brought back to Hong Kong; Pat will rest alongside her late husband and her parents at Wan Fou Sin Koon Temple.
