Mike Moy discusses the unwavering memory and long-standing patience of the Chinese in seeking vengeance. Recounting an incident from his youth, Moy describes the robbery of a high-rise gambling house in Flushing, Queens, that catered to high rollers. The operation was a successful venture until the heist occurred. Despite a lack of evidence, suspicion fell on an associate, and the event became a lingering thorn for the organizer—one he never forgot. Decades later, the desire for retribution persisted, confirming what Moy describes as a cultural tendency to maintain grievances until the right moment for revenge. Reflecting on his experience as an American-born Chinese who spent years immersed in this community, Moy highlights the enduring nature of such sentiments.
