Liao, an 87-year-old Chinese-American, has a difficult life abroad, and in the past seven years, he has been attacked three times by young men on the streets of San Francisco.
The first time was seven years ago, when he was beaten and fractured his right hand and had to get eight stitches; The second time was on the morning of February 20, 2020, when he was in a wheelchair and was kicked away, with 6 stitches on his head, ** was uploaded to the Internet, causing concern; The third time was three months ago, when a young black man beat him all over the face.
Strangely, none of the three young men who attacked Liao were punished by law, and the three beatings ended up in the end.
In order not to worry his family, the frightened old man decided to give up his American citizenship and return to China for retirement after a difficult choice.
is also a small news, netizens blew up after seeing it, and there was an unprecedented atmosphere of unity in the comment area, and almost all the people who left messages were the sameHe did not recognize Liao's identity as a Chinese and resolutely did not agree to let him return to China for retirement.
It is reasonable for the elderly Chinese who immigrated to the United States to suffer injustice in a foreign country and want to return to their home country to retire, why are they placed outside the country by the majority of netizens? Is it really just dissatisfaction with Liao's immigration?
Some key messages are worth paying attention to.
Liao, a former native of Guangzhou, immigrated to the United States around 2000 and has lived in the United States for 24 years, when he immigrated at the age of 63, he has retired, and has not worked in the United States since then.
Please note that those who can enjoy retirement benefits before 2000 are most likely to receive financial salaries, at least employees of state-owned enterprises, and ordinary people who do not have formal jobs have no concept of retirement at that time.
He immigrated to the United States 24 years ago, at least the economic strength is not bad, and the information channels are also very smooth, at that time the social atmosphere of admiring foreign countries was much stronger than today, but there were very few people who really had the strength and succeeded in immigrating.
Of course, Liao did not go abroad alone, his sons lived in the United States, and Liao's immigration can be simply understood as being taken by his son to San Francisco, USA to enjoy happiness.
In fact, in addition to the unpleasant experience of being attacked, Liao did live a very nourishing life in the United States, and he even had a small circle of elderly people who immigrated from China.
What is certain is that if he had not been attacked repeatedly, and the local ** and the court ignored him, and his life had been threatened, even if he was discriminated against and attacked, Liao would have insisted on living in the United States.
Another point is that Liao is not alone when he returns to China this time, his youngest son lives in Guangzhou, and his youngest son will be taken care of when he returns to China.
Don't come back! ”
On the one hand, the opinions in the comment area come from the psychology of schadenfreude, and the more important reason is that Liao returned to China purely to take advantage of the country.
In fact, there is no need to worry about this, what advantage can he take advantage of?
See a doctor and stay in the hospital, don't want money?
Food, clothing, housing and transportation, no money?
Extra overhead, no money?
Even if he regains his Chinese nationality, I'm afraid he won't be able to take advantage of it, it's not cheap, Liao is planning to come back to retire, the domestic pension industry is still in its infancy, and he can't take advantage of it.
Yes, he definitely did not return to the motherland because of a sense of belonging, what attracted him was the familiarity of the environment and social security, to say that he took advantage, Liao went to the United States to really take advantage, and people knew more than 20 years ago that they were going to pick up the wool of capitalism.
Why did you decide to return home after the three attacks, and the reluctance to reluctance to relatives abroad is one thing, but the reluctance to reluctantly high welfare in the United States is the fundamental reason.
Liao himself admitted frankly that there are various social benefits and free medical care in the United States, as well as special apartments for the elderly for him to live in, and his life is very nourishing.
To be sure, he would not have come back if he had not been attacked and beaten many times.
It is worth mentioning that the first time Liao was beaten was on the street of San Francisco, before that, he had just gone to a church to eat a free breakfast, could he not afford to eat?
Of course not, people will save money to live.
The fattest sheep is beaten the hardest.
Liao is going back to China, and there are as many as 7 old people who see him off, they have known each other for more than 20 years, and Liao's situation is similar, and when it comes to the experience of being beaten, he also empathizes, and understands and supports Liao's choice.
In fact, these old people also have the experience of being attacked, but they can still endure it, or they can't let go of the welfare of the United States.
If one day, the United States collapses economically because it cannot afford to pay the huge social welfare expenditures, then a taker like Liao can be regarded as a meritorious hero.
From the standpoint of a bystander, Liao is indeed difficult to like, like a locust, **welfare is good, he goes**, has no feelings for his family and country, and only thinks about taking advantage and gathering wool, he is a delicate egoist.
More than 20 years ago, when the standard of living was low, he ran out of the country, and now that the economy is developing, there is no way out and he has come back, if China is still the same as it was more than 20 years ago, will he still come back?
I guess I'd rather be beaten than come back, so it's a big deal not to go out for free breakfast.
However, it is a personal choice to go or stay, it should be viewed rationally, the law does not prohibit immigration, there is no need to stay if you want to leave, the door is open if you want to come back, as long as you meet the relevant regulations, there is nothing wrong, if people regain Chinese nationality through legal procedures, it is useless if netizens do not approve of it, and he has not done anything harmful to nature, nor has he done anything harmful to the interests of the motherland.
There is no need to be so mean and hostile to the returnees, they will come back, which shows that China is getting better and better, but they will not take advantage of it when they come back, let alone encroach on other people's welfare, because there is still a lot of room for improvement in our social welfare policy itself.
Everyone has their own aspirations, don't eat Chinese food, just smash the Chinese bowl.
In addition, Liao was beaten many times in the United States, but the local ** and the court were helpless, and the people who spoke Chinese with yellow ** and black eyes were violently beaten in the United States, and there were still many people in China who said "the fight was good".
This phenomenon is even more worth pondering.
Imagine that one day you have the opportunity to walk on the streets of the United States for study, work, travel, life and other reasons, and you are beaten for no reason, facing the comment area".Solidarity styleHow would you feel?
