John Yu had a simple dream. To use his artistic talents to beautify Manhattan Chinatown.
His goal, as AsAmNews has reported previously, is to adorn 88 metal gates in Chinatown with ornate murals done in a Chinese motif.
AsAmNews staff writer Shirley Lew recently spent a morning with Yu to watch one of his creations from beginning to end.
Enjoy.
