When Henry Woo turned 84, his co-workers at Seattle’s Linyen Restaurant & Lounge threw him a birthday party. At the time, he still worked three days a week, cooking over a hot wok in the kitchen of the restaurant located on Seventh Avenue S. in the Chinatown - International District.

Here, Mr. Woo blows out the candles on his elaborate birthday cake while other restaurant staff gather behind him.
