Lin Sou's daughter, Lily, married Look Wing Yuen. Look was said to be the richest Chinese merchant in Denver and Lily Look Wing Yuen became a member of local high society. Because the family name comes first in Chinese, the names can be hard to follow as they gradually adopt the English tradition of putting the family name at the end. Lin Sou's son Chin Mon Lung became Jimmie Lin Sou and, eventually Jimmie Chin. His other son, Chin Chin Lung, became Willie Lin Sou and then Willie Chin.

Willie Chin was very interested in politics and became known as the Mayor of Chinatown or "Misung" in Chinese. He very much wanted his family to adopt American customs. He also made sure that all his children attended school at least through high school. As a successful businessman, he also tried to convince local Chinese Americans to put an end to the lottery. The lottery was a type of gambling common in Chinese areas across the country, but it often led to conflicts with police and Willie wanted to avoid that.

Willie Chin died of a long illness in 1939 and his brother, Jimmy, then took on the title of "Misung". After the riot in 1880, little of the original Chinatown remained. A new Chinatown arose in the early 1900s. Unfortunately, the city was trying to destroy what was left of this "New Chinatown" in 1951. Jimmy was particularly interested in saving the block between Market and Blake and 20th and 21st Streets. This block was occupied by eight elderly men who had nowhere else to go.

Even while Jimmy Chin was going to city hall to fight for these older members of his community, he acknowledged that Denver's Chinatown had largely disappeared and that the Chinese culture that bound them together was slowly fading away. Jimmy ran several Chinese restaurants popular with the Chinese population, but people of Chinese ancestry no longer lived together in the same part of town. That said, many of their descendants, including those of Chin Lin Sou, live in Denver and throughout Colorado today.
