## Resource

After nearly 60 years, Golden Star Radio’s iconic neon sign is back—glowing proudly on the historic building still owned by Ron Tong’s family. Founded in the 1930s as America’s first Chinese-language radio station, it was a lifeline for immigrants, connecting them to their heritage. Though broadcasts went silent in the 70s and the original sign faded, a community-driven restoration has revived this cultural landmark. For older listeners, it’s a bittersweet reunion; for younger generations, it’s a living piece of San Francisco’s past. Tong believes his late parents would be thrilled—this sign isn’t just nostalgia; it’s a powerful testament to their legacy and a vital bridge across generations.
