Joyce Hsu Joyce was born in Chongqing, China in 1943 and spent her childhood years in Hong Kong and Taiwan. After graduating from National Taiwan University, she did graduate studies at Caltech and was then engaged in biochemical research at UC Berkeley and Stanford University for 10 years. In 1996, Joyce was diagnosed with breast cancer and received treatment. Due to her desire to support other cancer patients, she joined American Cancer Society’s California Chinese Unit as a volunteer and served as editor/publisher of the Unit’s Newsletter, for which she created numerous cartoons. In 2005, Joyce had a recurrence. During her second round of treatments, she published her cartoon collections into two booklets, “Laugh Along the Way” and “The Best Medicine”, which were given as gifts to cancer patients in the hope of offering both much-needed humor as well as perspective during a challenging period in their lives. Joyce then co-founded New Hope Chinese Cancer Care Foundation in 2013 and has continued to support cancer patients and work to enhance cancer awareness among Chinese communities in the U.S. and abroad. Though educated as a biochemist, Joyce has always had a deep passion for the arts, theatre and script writing. She served on the boards of the San Jose Repertory Theatre and San Francisco’s Asian Art Museum. During her treatment of cancer in 1996, Joyce’s lifelong dream of being a playwright was awoken. Through the years, she has cooperated with the Bridge and Gate Group as well as with the Huayi Performing Group to create nine stage dramas* in the Bay Area. Four of Joyce’s works were later produced in Shanghai by professional groups, including the historical fiction “ Beauty and the King” (Fu-Chai & Hsi-Shih), which was transformed into a musical in 2001 and exhibited at the Shanghai International Arts Festival. *Nine Productions:
