Then she studied at Beijing No. 156 middle school from 1977 to 1981. After high school, she worked many years as a teacher/healer at the Chinese Deaf Children Recovery Center; she helped and cured hundreds of deaf children so that they could speak again, changed their lives forever. In 1982, Yi Zhou’s mother Helen Liu left China to the United States to pursue Christianity. Yi Zhou stayed behind to take care of her father. Once Mr. Dianfu Zhou had passed away in 1991, Yi Zhou came to the United States to take care of her mother. She studied part-time at Chabot College in Hayward since 1992 while working to support herself, then transferred to University of California at Berkeley in 1997 full-time as a business major. She finally received her Bachelor of Art degree in Business Administration in 1999. During her school days at Chabot College and UC, Berkeley, she met and fell in love with Mr. Baohua Huang, and they married in 2002. She devoted all her love to Mr. Huang after marriage. She worked as a Financial Analyst for AMD and other high-tech companies, and the managers adored her. After her mother’s passing in 2008, Yi Zhou was in grief and she joined the Fremont office of American Red Cross as a volunteer and vowed to help others in need. Although a long-time believer in Jesus, Yi Zhou was finally baptized in 2011 to become a Christian. Soon after that, she gave up her career to follow her husband to China to take care her paralyzed mother-in-law. Yi Zhou was diagnosed with colon cancer in December 2015, had surgery in February 2016 and came back to the United States for further treatments. She fought brave and hard in the last year of her life and passed away on October 24, 2017.
