The Yik Oi Huang Peace and Friendship Park represents so much more than a mere name; it embodies our collective vision of fostering a community free from violence and grounded in healing and compassion. After all, “Yik Oi” means Abundant Love.
San Francisco will now have a visible tribute to an Asian immigrant working-class woman, whose ordinary yet extraordinary life epitomized good citizenship. This project is also about community safety, solidarity, and justice. We need this now more than ever. What if we remember we are one? What if we lead with love? Our dream is unity in diversity, and that people from different cultural and language backgrounds can pea
cefully coexist at this park without fear and hatred toward one another. This park renaming has brought us closer to achieving that dream.
