Despite a difficult life experiencing many cultural shifts in China, she protected her family through harsh conditions and was a university professor until her first retirement. Many students still view her as a role model and mentor.
Jingbin came to North America in 1988, and overcame significant barriers to establish a second career as a health care worker devoted to those with physical disabilities until her second retirement in 2005. Her clients always spoke highly of her care.

She was known to always put others first and she did not wish her family or friends to feel sad or endure hardships on her behalf. She will always be remembered dearly in our hearts and deeply missed.
