Dancer Jade Ling passed away peacefully of natural causes in her native Boston on September 28, 2020, surrounded by family and friends. The 96-year-old entertainer started her career at her father’s cabaret, the Lido, in Massachusetts as a teen, and continued at the Latin Quarter before signing a contract with San Francisco’s legendary Forbidden City nightclub. Ling performed there, at the Kubla Khan, and other local Chinatown niteries. For a time, she teamed up with Jack Mei Ling as The Mei Lings. She later operated her own beauty salon after retiring from the stage in the 1960s. Ms Ling is profiled in the book Forbidden City, USA: Chinatown Nightclubs, 1936-1970.
