Kay Wang was a strong-willed grandmother who was reluctantly taken to a
StoryCorps booth by her son and granddaughter. Though Kay resisted, she
still had stories to tell—from disobeying her mother and rebuffing
suitors while growing up in China to late-life adventures as a
detective for Bloomingdale's department store. Kay passed away just
weeks after that interview, and her son and granddaughter returned to
StoryCorps to remember her gentler side, which she kept to herself.
