'I'm an Oakland guy, I'm an Oakland resident, and so I just really want to give back to Chinatown, the Chinese people in any way I can.'And William Lue feels the same way.'Oakland is my town, my place, I want to put this on the map,' said Lue.Lue immigrated from China to Oakland in the 60s and never left.
