Yuk Ow was born in 1915 in Nan Hai district, Guangdong province, China and came to the U.S. at age 13. He graduated from the Nan Qiao Chinese School in 1932, was hired as a teacher of Chinese, and was later promoted to Dean of Study and as Principal of the school. As a student, he developed an interest in studying Chinese American history, particularly relating to immigrants from his homeland district (Sam Yup).

After retirement in 1970 from his last job as a translator until his death in 1982, Ow devoted himself to researching Chinese American history and organizing the materials he'd collected.
