Perry showing his father some of his latest work on his tribute film, Changyou's Journey.

It is with great sadness that I report Dr. Changyou Chen, father of AWN contributing writer and Ingrid Pitt: Beyond The Forest animator Perry Chen, passed away from cancer last Thursday, July 19.  Our thoughts and prayers go out to Perry and his mom, Dr. Zhu Shen, on their terrible loss.

Zhu sent me this information regarding the memorial service being held this Sunday:
