Obituary
October 15, 1930- October 23, 2022
Tze-si “Jesse” Huang was a professional writer and translator and native Chinese. He was born in Chungking, the youngest of ten children. At nine years old, he escaped the greatest Japanese bombings of World War II in Chungking by jumping on a junk going down the Yangtze River. Then, as a stowaway he made it to Hong Kong and before reaching ten years old, made it to Taiwan. After facing and overcoming the trials of both surviving alone and becoming self-educated, recorded in his The Journey to the Unknown (Fons Vitae, 2014) he eventually immigrated to the U.S.A. He attended New York University and Columbia University for post graduate studies, graduating with cum laude. In the United States he headed Health Care for the State of New Jersey as a financial analyst and manager. He was honored by President Reagan for his great contribution to the United States in the field of Health Care. In 1975 he met his wife, the renowned children's book author and illustrator, Demi. In 1990, Tze-si and Demi represented the United States at The first International Book Conference in Beijing. Continuing to pursue his love of writing and translating from his native Chinese into English, he created Master of Zen: Extraordinary Teachings from Hui Neng's Altar Sutra, winner in Spirituality of The USA “Best Books 2012” Awards, sponsored by USA Book News. In 2016 Tze-si completed Maitreya Bodhisattva's Inquiry Sutra, The Coming Buddha, and in 2018, Liberation Through Hearing, the Art of Dying.
