Hello everyone, I'm Childe.
Recently, I believe that everyone has been swiped by the "Fudan Dr. in the United States", and this has set off a war of words on the Chinese Internet.
*, he is unkempt, ragged, with missing teeth, and only a torn quilt on his body, looking quite depressed.
But as soon as he opened his mouth, he spoke clearly, expressed himself fluently, and was even familiar with all kinds of physics knowledge, unlike ordinary vagabonds.
In fact, if you dig deeper, you will find that he has multiple aura:
He is the top student in the Jiangyin college entrance examination, the physics genius of the Fudan junior class, an international student sent to the United States, a postdoctoral student in the United States, a Wall Street elite with an annual salary of more than $130,000, and easily obtained a U.S. green card to become a U.S. citizen ......
So, why did the former people fall into the United States for 16 years?
At first, the Internet blamed his downfall on a failed marriage - his ex-wife was a laid-off worker with children, and he was only married to a green card, and he was used and abandoned by his ex-wife and has since fallen into a slump and slept on the streets.
It's hard to believe that after getting a U.S. green card, the ex-wife will cross the river and tear down the bridge, even if her husband is handsome and golden, and he has a deep affection for her.
But with more reports and exposure from netizens, it was found that the beginning and end of the matter were quite complicated.
The homeless man, surnamed Sun, is 54 years old this year and has a hometown of Jiangyin, Jiangsu.
Since he was a child, he has been a "child of someone else's family" and especially loves to read.
Once, when the family was drying wheat, his parents specially told him to harvest the wheat when it rained before going to the field to do farm work, but he was fascinated by the book as soon as he read the book, and he couldn't hear the crackling rain, and he didn't even know that the wheat was wet and washed away.
And his friends usually ask him to go to the movies to relax or something, and he would rather stay at home and read a book.
The villagers said that this child was not ordinary, had a great future in the future, and was "the pride of the whole village".
In school, he was also praised, he was cheerful and lively, loved to run and jump, especially good at high jump, and because he often scored full marks, he sat first in the school, and was a "model student" who has been passed down by teachers for more than ten years.
He scored 628 points out of 640 in the high school entrance examination that year and entered the local key high school.
At that time, how many people abandoned their studies due to practical problems, and very few could go to high school, let alone key high schools.
In his midterm exams in high school, he scored perfect marks in 4 out of 6 subjects, and even in his first year of high school, the Fudan Junior Class enrolled in the school, and he was admitted to the Fudan Junior Class with the first place to study physics, younger and smarter than his classmates.
In 1988, at the age of 19, Dr. Sun passed the 9th CUSPEA (Sino-US Joint Graduate Program in Physics) exam.
CUSPEA was established by Nobel Laureate Tsung-Dao Lee and the Chinese physics community from 1979 to 1989 to select and send students to the United States to pursue graduate studies in physics.
Because of the limited number of places, the selected public students are often entrusted with "serving the motherland after completing their studies" after obtaining national resources.
For example, Zhang Chaoyang was selected by the CUSPEA project in 1986, founded Sohu.com after returning from studying in the United States, and was selected into the list of "40 returnees in the 40 years of China's reform and opening up" in 2018.

Dr. Sun received a Tsung-Dao Lee Scholarship to study at the City University of New York in the United States.
Alumni include former U.S. Secretaries of State Colin Powell and Kissinger, Intel founder Andy Grove, American computer industry pioneer Wang An, Nobel Prize winner Mo Yan ......
He worked his way up to a postdoc and published more than 30 articles in the English journal Physical Review between 1992 and 1999.
The journal is the world's largest series of Nobel Prize-winning physics journals, and its gold content is quite high.
And he can publish many articles on it, which can be called a superstar in the physics world, with his strength, if he returns to China after completing his studies, he should be able to make a lot of contributions to the motherland.
However, after graduating in 1997, he chose to stay in the United States - this is the main reason why many netizens retracted their sympathy and opposed taking him to China.
It is worth mentioning that if he is studying at public expense and does not return after the deadline, he should return the fee according to the rules and pay a penalty of 30%.
Dr. Sun got a job as a programmer on Wall Street with a salary of $100,000 a month.
Later, he obtained a U.S. green card, became a naturalized U.S. citizen, and went to China from "returning home" to "going abroad".
It's a pity that his smooth life came to an abrupt end after that.
As for what happened, there are two versions online:
Version one is that in the 90s of the last century, he met a Chinese woman in New York.
The other party is a laid-off worker from Northeast China, who took his daughter to New York to "beg for a living" and does not have permanent residence status in the United States.
Because the woman was very good to him, the two slowly developed feelings and became husband and wife.
But the woman divorced him after she got her green card.
It coincided with the 2007 financial crisis in the United States, which cost him his job.
In an instant, he was overwhelmed by the blow of his relationship and career, his spirit collapsed, he couldn't distinguish between reality and fiction, and he couldn't find a job.
In addition, the United States has adopted a "talent restriction" policy for Chinese students, and he actually returned to China once, but his money was stolen halfway through, and he lost $30,000, which is very lost.
Therefore, after being down, he did not choose to return to China, but worked as a homeless man in the United States, living by begging and picking up scraps.
Also because of the many rules of the shelter and the long distance, he did not choose to go to the shelter for help, and the days became more and more difficult.
Version 2 is that his ex-wife is not a laid-off worker, but a university professor, and the divorce of the two is not his ex-wife's pot.
On the contrary, it isHe was addicted to gambling and had to fly to Las Vegas every week to spend a lot of money.
Nine out of ten gambles were lost, he lost his family, owed a lot of debt, was fired by the company, had mental abnormalities, and had auditory hallucinations ......
His wife became disheartened with him, separated from him, and left the United States after a successful divorce, never to be in touch with him again.
Regarding the gambling statement, a netizen who claimed to be an alumnus of his university added:
Dr. Sun was addicted to gambling during his university years, borrowing money from his classmates, and almost left him with no money to pay the rent.
Dr. Sun, who is single again, didn't feel like he was wandering at first.
He stayed in the church.
For five or six years, he prayed and studied the Bible every day, and slept in a $10** Internet café at night.
It wasn't until I couldn't afford to live in an Internet café that I went to sleep on the street and subway station and became a real homeless person.
Before he was rescued, he was still thinking that after a while of rest, he would consider returning to his normal work and life.
He rested for 16 years......
Some people may be curious, Dr. Sun is destitute in the United States, does his family know?
Dr. Sun was born into an ordinary family, his father has long since died, his mother is very old, and he has a younger brother at home.
A Zhihu netizen said that he is Sun's hometown and has not heard from Dr. Sun for a long time.
Dr. Sun left his hometown at the age of 16 and never returned, and even when his father died, he only sent $8,000 and never came back to mourn.
Because of this "anomaly", the villagers initially thought that he was engaged in a high-end job in the United States that required secrecy, so he could not return to China.
But as the contact became less and less, there was no news for 20 years, and the family and the village did not know whether he was still alive until the ** about his wanderings exploded.
The netizen also revealed that Dr. Sun and his father did not get along well.
That year, on the eve of Sun's departure abroad, Sun's father specially rushed to Fudan to visit his son.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Sun saw his father, he accused his father of why he didn't wear a suit, and he lost face by dressing up as a rural person.
The father didn't expect his son to dislike him, so he went home angrily, and complained when he met people, it was better to raise a son than a rabbit.
Even after the younger son was admitted to a key high school, he was not allowed to fill in the major of the country and let him go to the National Defense University, so as not to be the same as the eldest son.
And this became the last meeting of the father and son.
Because a few years later, Sun's father died, and the younger brother gave up the opportunity to develop outside the home and was transferred back to the town to take care of his mother's filial piety.
In short, under the disturbance, the Internet is filled with a large amount of information that is not true or false, some people are sympathetic, some people are cynical, each has its own reasons, and it can let the bullets fly for a while.
According to the latest reports, under the arrangement of the Fudan Alumni Association, Dr. Sun has already received spiritual ** in the United States, and has moved into a temporary residence, so he no longer has to wander.
The alumni association also helped him to reapply for relevant documents, and the relevant departments in his hometown are also following up on the reissuance.
Sun's younger brother had already learned about his brother in the group of classmates, claiming that his mother was not in good health and did not want his mother to know about it first.
However, Dr. Sun's family will fly to the United States to visit him and discuss his next steps.
Among them, Sun's cousin said that he would be very happy if his cousin could come back, and sincerely believed that his cousin would come out of the trough soon.
In the new **, Dr. Sun got a haircut, his image was refreshed, and he thanked the camera:
I have experienced some life changes over the years that have put my life in a difficult situation, and I am very grateful to all my friends who have cared for and helped me to get back on my feet and start my new life. ”
I have to say that it is really embarrassing to go from a genius boy with a doctor of physics to finally sleeping on the streets for various reasons and becoming one in 600,000 American homeless people.
Helping him is sympathetic to his plight and extending a helping hand to the Chinese, but not helping him is because he feels that he is an American citizen and there is no need to take him for "retirement".
So, do you support him returning to China?
