Architect and interior designer Richard Liu has been an essential part of the revitalization of Chinatown. He has bridged the dialogue between old residents and developers, plus invested his own personal time and money on the restoration of Chinatown's Main Plaza, including the offices and residence of pioneering Chinese American lawyer Y.C. Hong, the original Phoenix Bakery and the location of Chinatown's historical punk rock hangout, the Hong Kong Cafe.
