In September 2021, the sky in New York was suddenly cloudy, lightning and thunder.
The once-in-a-millennium "hurricane" is raging on the city, and people are hiding in their homes and afraid to come out.
The day after the storm, people saw an incredible scene on the side of the street and instantly felt "creepy".
I saw three Chinese corpses floating on the surface of the water, they looked like they should have been soaking in the water for a long time, it was said that they looked very miserable like steamed bread.
Later, after a police investigation, their identities were finally determined.
It turned out that this was a family of three, the father was called Leng Hongsheng, the mother was called Shen Aihua, and the girl lying next to them was their autistic daughter.
They live in a basement nearby, a place only 20 square meters in size, filled with garbage and plastic bottles.
No one knows how they lived here, anyway, the place was like "hell".
The police felt that the family of three should be ordinary homeless people, so they did not take them too seriously, and then sent them to the morgue.
But as the days passed, no one came to claim them, and the family of three lay there alone, and the corpses began to gradually decay.
It was not until Zhang Dechao, president of the "American Hubei Hometown Association", saw their names on the list of victims in the World Journal that he came to claim Leng Hongsheng's family.
In order to find their family in China, Zhang Dechao can be said to have wasted all his strength, but he can see that his family has no sympathy for the fact that "Leng Hongsheng's whole family died in the United States".
What's going on?
It turned out that Leng Hongsheng had been belittling and looking down on China before his death, and constantly praised the characteristic culture of the United States, so why did he love the United States so much?
What has he experienced in the united states in the past few years?

Leng Hongsheng was about 84 years old when he died, and he looked a little sloppy, and everyone thought he was a tramp.
Before he was 61 years old, he was also the "president of a senior design institute in Wuhan, China".
And the reason why he has come to this point today is also inseparable from his already distorted psychology.
Leng Hongsheng's ancestral home was in Liaoning, and it was during the war, and the people's life was very miserable, so Leng Hongsheng's ancestors went all the way south to the relatively stable Wuhan.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Leng family began to start a small business, and later went to work in the factory, and the family's life became more comfortable.
Because his family had money, Leng Hongsheng went to school early and showed great talent in painting and architecture.
After graduating from university, he was assigned to work in the wuhan water conservancy department, and Over the years Leng Hongsheng accumulated a lot of contacts and experience.
During the reform and opening up, Wuhan's construction developed extremely rapidly, and for a time engineers like Leng Hongsheng also became "fragrant food".
Therefore, he was transferred to a design institute in Wuhan as the president, which can be described as holding heavy power and doubling his salary.
At that time, no one did not envy Leng Hongsheng, in addition to his successful career, he also married a young girl who was 30 years younger than himself.
Her name is Shen Aihua, 20 years old this year, with clear eyebrows, gentle and kind personality, how to see have a little bit of a small family jasper feeling.
In the 1990s, Leng Hongsheng retired to the second line early, and often had about three or five friends to exchange ideas in his spare time.
Unexpectedly, his paintings were taken to the exhibition by the Calligraphy and Painting Association, and even some people were willing to pay for his works.
Leng Hongsheng is often proud of this, thinking that he is an artist, and he still has some feelings of nostalgia.
Logically, the retirement salary of the design institute should be good, plus Leng Hongsheng can make a little money by painting, and his life is also full, but he will break a good hand of cards in the next operation.
From 1995 to 1999, it was a fork in the road of the times, when there was a wave of immigration to the United States.
At that time, the gates of the mainland had just been opened, everything outside was fresh, and it was inevitable that many intellectuals began to yearn for American life.
Leng Hongsheng is no exception, he found a lot of books and movies about the United States, found that everyone there has a villa and luxury car, while as the dean, he still lives in the tube building, the TV set is the most valuable big thing in the family.
The gap in his life gave him the idea of defecting to the United States, and at that time, Leng Hongsheng was like an evil, and he could not listen to anyone's persuasion.
Therefore, he resolutely embarked on this road of no return, and at this time he did not know that the end of this road was the "abyss".

Leng Hongsheng naturally knew that the United States would not agree to let him immigrate in a situation like his, so how could he stay in the United States?
Thinking about it, he made an incredible decision to seek political asylum and, to put it mildly, to sell his country in exchange for a U.S. green card.
In 2000, Leng Hongsheng did not say a word and then applied for a tourist visa, followed the tour group to New York, and then sneaked to the immigration office.
He claimed to have been persecuted in China, treated unfairly racially, religiously and so on, and asked the United States for shelter.
In order to make the US side believe this matter more, he also exaggerated his lack of talent in China and the exaggeration of decentralization.
To say that a head is the Tao, every word indicates dissatisfaction with China.
These acts of his attracted the attention of the anti-China community in the United States, and everyone invited him to give a speech, and Leng Hongsheng also "fired" in the United States.
Because he often appeared in various public places, openly and transparently slandering and insulting China, in order to win the hearts of Americans.
Of course, his purpose was achieved, and the US green card was safely handed over to his hands, but he did not know that this was a "conspiracy" of the US side.
In the 2011 earthquake in Japan, major philanthropists launched fundraising activities across the country, and Leng Hongsheng donated heavily to Japan as an American in a fundraising event held by overseas Chinese in the United States.
I don't know if he wants to glorify the Americans or swollen his face and be fat, in short, this has caused a lot of dissatisfaction among Chinese in the United States, and Leng Hongsheng was born in 1937, and the "blood history" left by World War II that year, I don't know if he remembers it.
Later, Leng Hongsheng also joined an American anti-China society called the "Global Artists Association", and he followed its members all day to eat and drink, trying to please them.
In the end, I learned that there was no artist here, the whole society was a copycat version, and what was even more infuriating was that the Us side did not give Leng Hongsheng any opportunity to participate in the work.
Only then did he realize with hindsight: "Am I not using the value"?
Leng Hongsheng was arrogant and wanted to earn pocket money by selling paintings, so he bought the best paints and canvases, but he never sold any of them.
Seeing that his savings from China were getting smaller and smaller, he simply reduced a painting to about $10, sometimes not even earning $10 in bad weather.
This has made Mr. Leng into the habit of scavenging, and every day when he sells his paintings, he rides his bicycle and carries a marijuana bag to pick up garbage on the streets of Flushing and sell it online or at a recycling station.
Leng Hongsheng, who once longed for the United States, lost all faith in an instant, and the so-called "smart is mistaken by smart" is what it says.
Sometimes it is really difficult, he will also ask his wife for money, and the wife will send more and more money each time, and after some inquiry, he will know that China is no longer the China it once was.
At this time, Leng Hongsheng was over 70 years old, and he rented a 20-square-meter basement for living, but this "home" did not have the appearance of "home" at all, but more like a garbage factory.
When he was depressed, he remembered his wife and daughter who were far away in China.
Their daughter's name is Leng Leng, which is the name Leng Hongsheng personally gave her, at the beginning, he loved Leng Leng very much, but when his daughter was 3 years old, he unfortunately suffered from autism.
This bad news broke the love of a father, and Leng Hongsheng's attitude towards his daughter changed by 180 degrees in an instant.
Since then, he has been cold-eyed and indifferent to his wife and daughter, and Fan Aihua has also been cold, and she has made plans to separate from him before Leng Hongsheng decided to settle in the United States.
Fan Aihua took her autistic daughter around alone to seek medical treatment, and she did not know whether the reason for the cold autism was from heredity or the lack of fatherly love, in short, as a mother, she was very remorseful.
In 2014, Fan Aihua suddenly received a message from Leng Hongsheng:
"Come to the United States, I am doing very well here, the medical technology here is developed, and it can cure cold autism."
For Fan Aihua, even though he did not want to see her husband again in this life, she did not hesitate to sell the house and run to the United States with all her savings for the sake of her children.
But who knows, after arriving in the United States, Fan Aihua found that all this was a lie, and even his daughter's low insurance has become the biggest source of funds for the family.

It turned out that after Fan Aihua came to the United States, he found that it was not at all like what Leng Hongsheng said in the letter.
First of all, the husband does not have a stable home and does not live a good life.
Secondly, the medical level of the United States is not good or bad, anyway, the average person does not dare to get sick, because even if a tooth is extracted, it is impossible to pull out, let alone give cold treatment for autism.
Leng Hongsheng has no job in the United States, Fan Aihua does not speak English, and the money from selling the house will be spent sooner or later, how should they live?
What Fan Aihua did not expect was that his daughter's low insurance was also within the scope of Leng Hongsheng's "plan", and he had long been prepared to rely on his daughter's low insurance to survive.
According to their neighbors, every time she met Fan Aihua, they would cry to her: "Why am I here?" We don't even have a home. ”
Of course, Fan Aihua also thought about returning to China with Cold Cold, but she didn't know English, she didn't know how to communicate with others, and her husband insisted on staying, but this time he didn't want to go back to face China this time because he longed for the United States.
A family of three is crowded in the basement of 20 square meters, without seeing the sun all day, and being accompanied by dampness every day.
In order to live, Fan Aihua and her husband have to go out every day to pick up garbage, and they are cold and shrinking in the corner of the wall shivering.
Since coming to the United States, the cold autism has been getting worse every day, perhaps related to not seeing the sun, after all, no one can stand living in the dark, and the feeling of garbage around them.
On the other hand, Leng Hongsheng, every time he talks to his friends about his days in the United States, he still says: "I live very well in the United States, and it is really beautiful here."
New York is indeed beautiful, but this beauty is not for everyone, and their days have not had a beautiful flip like the storyline in the movie.
Instead, a torrential rain in 2021 "ended" all their sufferings.

Coincidentally, on the day of the rainstorm, the family of three did not go out, and the small space was instantly "attacked" by the storm, and in the end they were not spared, and they died in the basement of the United States.
I don't know if Leng Hongsheng regretted it at the last moment of his life, but tragedy has already happened.
As soon as this matter came out, many netizens thought that Leng Hongsheng's ability to get to this step today was also the consequence of his self-inflicted guilt, but he pitied his wife and autistic children.
There's a saying that goes so well:
"I praise the present motherland, and I praise its future three times as much."
I hope that as descendants of Yanhuang, we must believe in our motherland and love our motherland, and those who exalt themselves by belittling the motherland like Leng Hongsheng will not be respected wherever they go.
It is worth mentioning that Zhang Dechao of the "Hubei Hometown Association" eventually brought the ashes of Leng Hongsheng's family back to the motherland, that is to say, in the end, the motherland took him in.
Every country has its own good, and it is not only foreign countries that are called "paradise".
In contrast, how many people are envious of China and Chinese at the moment of the epidemic?
Sometimes, you should really be proud to be born in China!
