History
While serving in Vietnam, Jack fell in love with Luan, but they separated at the conclusion of the war. Twenty years later in 1994, Luan appeared in Genoa City, managing and working at her Chinese food restaurant. She and Jack soon reunited. Luan informed Jack that after the war, she gave birth to their son, Keemo. When Luan was shot at her restaurant by burglars, Keemo was found and brought to Genoa City by Christine Blair and Paul Williams. Keemo resented his parents, Luan and Jack, because they abandoned him, but he later made amends with Luan, who recovered from her shooting.

After Luan recovered, she and Jack reunited their former romance and married. Luan's other daughter, Mai, comes to live with them. Shortly after getting married, Luan was diagnosed with a terminal illness and kept it hidden from Jack at first, until later when Jack learned the truth. Luan later died from the terminal illness. Upon his mother's death, Keemo returned back to Hong Kong with Mai in tow.
