This is a wonderful story about a man who came here on the Golden Venture and after many many years, has gone back to the community that helped him then. He has opened up a store and is giving back to the town. - - Donna Poisl
Pin Lin's journey took him through York County Prison. He says the people of York County practically saved his life, inspiring him to return here as a free man and contribute to the community.

York County Prison's walls kept Pin Lin from the dream of American prosperity he held as he fled China 16 years ago in a boat alongside hundreds of other illegal immigrants.

Lin never forgot their kindness.
