  YungTing was opened in 1986 by a man from Hong Kong. After he retired, his son Mike inherited his restaurant. Mike then gave YungTing to his cousin, Li, who is the current owner of the restaurant. Li came to the U.S for education in 1998. He studied at a college in New Jersey, and met his wife in school. They got married after they graduated, and moved to Lewisburg to run the restaurant in 2008.
  
  
  
  Li's family did not choose the location of YungTing, but they soon fell in love with the town. They formed a good relationship with the Chinese students from Bucknell University. During the interview, Li proudly mentioned that some of the Bucknell alumni came back to eat at YungTing because it had become a part of their memories of their years in college. Because there is only a small population of Chinese living in Lewisburg, the majority of customers are the Americans. YungTing serves American-Chinese food to cater the taste of local people. Their menu does not change much over the years.
  
  Li started his family after he moved to Lewisburg. He has a son and a daughter now, and they go to the elementary school in town. He is content with his life in this small town. Compared to his life in New Jersey, he enjoys living in Lewisburg more. He likes the slower pace of life here, and the environment is nice. He thought about opening a restaurant in New York, but the high rents in the city bring too much pressure.  For future plans, Li will keep running YungTing until his children graduate from high school. He might move to other cities to be closer to his children once they got into colleges. For Li, family always comes the first.
