Richard M. Wanda's Obituary
Richard M Wanda 中文名 王明戴。于2016年6月19日因病去世于Honolulu（檀香山）享年55 岁
王明戴生于1961年五月七号，自小因文化大革命等原因备受阶级斗争的迫害，以及其父政治上的拖累，无法上户口，以致被禁止上小学，初中，但其天资聪慧，以自学考上上海红星中学高中。1980年来美国求学，在白天上学，放学后因免费的帮助亲戚加工，修理首饰常忙到深夜而无时间复习功课。即使在这种情况下，在不到两年的时间，很快的学会，并熟练的掌握了英文的写作，阅读，口语的技巧。
可惜的是，就在他学飞猛进的时候，因小事，在迅雷不及掩耳的情况下，被突然遣送回中国，然后是较长期的移民等待，使他软弱的心灵无力承受，大脑受了刺激，对事物的反应转为敏感，当他85年再次来美国后，对事物的应变能力大不如前， 即便如此，他还是获得了学士学位。
此后，他投身于美国政治生涯，两次参加Alaska 州的州众议员竞选。
他英年早逝，我们全家，包括他的父亲，母亲，弟弟，妹妹，妹夫，表哥，表妹等，都十分痛惜他的逝去，愿他的灵魂早进天国，与主同在。
On June 19, Richard M. Wanda passed away in Honolulu, Hawaii at the age of 55.
Richard was born on May 7, 1961 and struggled through the Cultural Revolution in China, unable to attend elementary school and junior high. However, he was a very gifted child and he self-studied and was able to pass the entrance exam for Shanghai Red Star High School.
In 1980, he moved to the U.S. He went to school during the day and at night, he would work late hours repairing jewelry, leaving no time to do his homework. Despite this, he became fluent in English within less than two years. Though he had hard times in his life, he was able to earn a college degree and devote himself to his political career. He ran for office twice in Alaska.
His parents, siblings and cousins are mourning his early passing and will miss him dearly. May he rise up to the heavens and be with the Lord, watching and protecting those who are dear to him.
