The American dream is shattered, and the 87-year-old Weng abandons the United States and returns to China
Introduction: In today's society, safety is a concern, especially for the elderly, and violent attacks on the streets are a major concern. Liao's experience provokes deep reflection on public safety and the lives of immigrants.
Text: Liao Rongxi, an 87-year-old man who was a former immigrant in Guangzhou, experienced three consecutive violent street attacks in San Francisco. These events are shocking and raise concerns about social security and reflection on the lives of migrants.
The first encounter occurred seven years ago, when he was beaten unconscious during a free breakfast at the church, resulting in serious injuries. The second attack was even more alarming, with a young man kicking him in the air and sparking community outrage. The third time was a series of blows on the head by an African-American youth, and he was bleeding profusely.
This series of violent incidents made Liao Rongxin feel the fragility of his life, and he had to give up his American citizenship and decide to return to Guangzhou to spend his old age in peace. Despite the benefits and free medical care offered in the United States, the dangers on the streets made it impossible for him to live in peace. His decision also sparked resonance among his old friends and concerns about social safety.
Liao's sons are also concerned about San Francisco's public safety, arguing that the city is becoming increasingly dangerous. They decided to send Liao back to China so that he could spend his old age in the care of his family.
Liao's experience reflects the plight of some migrants living abroad, especially when faced with social security issues. It is also a reminder that society should provide a safe living environment for everyone, regardless of their age or status.
Conclusion: Liao's story is a cautionary tale to pay attention to social security, especially the care and protection of vulnerable groups. I hope he can enjoy his old age in Guangzhou, away from the shadow of violence.
