THE HISTORY OF LIM LAM LUM Bi Gan was uncle of King Zhou of Shang Dynasty ( 1122 B.C. ). He was an honest advisor to the King, but the King didn’t like his advice and had him executed, by means of tearing out his heart. Upon hearing this, his pregnant wife knew the king will come after her, so she escaped into a rocky cave in the forest, and gave birth to a boy, After King Zhou was overthrown by King Wu of Zhou Dynasty King Wu knew about the courageous advisor, since the boy gave birth, so the King pronounced the boy’s last name FOREST. The word FOREST, when translated to Chinese, is LIM, LAM, LUM, or LIN, depends on what area you are from. Bi Gan is now called the God of Money.

THE LIM FAMILY ASSOCIATION BUILDING

The Lim Family Assn was founded in 1920, The mission of the organization is to support and encourage growth among the Chinese living in America. Our Members would provide economic and educational opportunities, as well as immigration and legal assistance to Chinese immigrants.

Bach in the 1950s, there were very few Lim Family Members in the greater Los Angeles area, it was very difcult for members to congregate for meeting and social activities, due to lack of a meeting place.

During the 60s and 70s as the members of the Lim in the Los Angeles area proliferated, the need of a permanent site to serve the members was becoming more evident, The Lim Family elder statesmen volunteered to spearhead the drive to fnd a suitable permanent home for the assn. After countless months of searching and negotiating with property owners, and securing the necessary fnancial backing of the members, their efforts culminated in the purchase of the present building on 1301 n. Main Street, Los Angeles.
