In 2011, Chen Yuhui, a Chinese-American soldier, was grabbed by the wrist by a superior officer and dragged upside down on the gravel road from the bathroom to the ground, with blood and flesh on his back. Soon he was forced to crawl like a dog, and the surrounding team members laughed and threw stones at him. A few hours later, Chen Yuhui shot himself, ending his life of suffering.
The article comes from China News Network, published in 2012, in order to improve the readability of the article, there may be polishing of the details, please read sensibly, for reference only.
In 1992, Chen Yuhui was born in New York, USA, to a Chinese immigrant family. In order to let Chen Yuhui have a better development, his parents have been spurring him to study Xi diligently, hoping that he will become an elite in society. However, years of accumulated racial prejudice and discrimination finally brutally destroyed this young life full of dreams in 2011.
Chen Yuhui grew up in the United States, and his thin body and Sven appearance often became the target of ridicule and bullying by his classmates. After school, the tall, strong American classmates would surround him in a corner and torture the Asian boy with verbal abuse and fisting. Chen Yuhui often endures silently with his schoolbag alone, and he doesn't even dare to tell his parents. He aspires to be a strong man and gain the approval of others.
So at the age of eighteen, Chen Yuhui told his parents that he did not want to continue his studies and hoped to join the army to train himself. My parents were surprised by this decision, not because they didn't have a future in the military, but because they knew too much about racial discrimination in the U.S. military. But Chen Yuhui insisted that this was the only way to realize the value, and in the end his parents reluctantly agreed.
Three months later, Chen Yuhui got his wish and joined the U.S. Army's Alaska base. However, the harsh reality soon sent this idealistic young man to hell. The cold eyes and hostility of his colleagues, and the double standards and punishments of the instructors, made Chen Yuhui taste the bitterness of racial discrimination again.
But Chen Yuhui did not give up, he gritted his teeth and endured everything, just to become an excellent American soldier. During a project assessment, Chen Yuhui accidentally sprained his leg. However, even so, he endured the pain and completed the entire test, and finally passed the assessment and officially became a soldier of the US army! This is the first honor in Chen Yuhui's life, but it is also the last.
In 2011, Chen Yuhui's unit received an urgent task to patrol Afghanistan. Newly trained recruits gathered from scattered barracks for Central Asia, Chen Yuhui's first night at the base in Afghanistan was humiliated by his white comrades.
As he made his bed in the dark in the dimly lit tent, several big men suddenly tore off his bedding and ridiculed the "Chinese guy" for not even being able to make a bed. The next day, Chen Yuhui was looking for a vacant seat in the camp with a rice bowl when a tall soldier grabbed him by the collar, buttoned the rice bowl to the ground, and forced him to lie down like a dog and nibble on it with his mouth. The soldiers and instructors who were standing on the sidelines laughed when they saw this, and they had no intention of stopping it.
In the weeks that followed, beatings, insults, and abuse became a daily routine for Mr. Chen. At first, he took the lead in order to complete the task, and he was willing to endure it in order to take a breath, but these were only intensified.
That day, Chen Yuhui hurriedly returned to the dormitory after taking a hot shower and forgot to turn off the faucet. The instructor on duty grabbed Chen Yuhui by the collar and brutally dragged him out of the steamy toilet and onto the gravel road of the camp. The other soldiers burst into laughter, some picking up rocks from the ground and throwing them at Chen Yuhui. Chen Yuhui was covered in blood, but he could only hold his head to dodge. The instructor forced him to learn how to crawl as a dog, and the soldiers around him pointed and pointed like a circus monkey.
This is beyond Chen Yuhui's limits. He tried to appeal to the prefect, but was again insulted. This barracks has become hell for him. Late that night, Chen Yuhui came to the camp sentry post with a rifle, aimed it at his temple and pulled the trigger, ending his short and tragic life.
The news quickly spread back to the United States, causing an uproar. Chen Yuhui's parents were devastated when they learned the bad news. The grief of losing their only son almost crushed the old couple. They constantly blamed themselves and regretted agreeing to Chen Yuhui's enlistment.
Under the pressure of public opinion, the US military had to launch an investigation. However, the court and the military avoided each other and had no intention of restoring the truth. Instead, Chen Yuhui's parents were forbidden to check the body, for fear that the truth would be revealed. This provoked the indignation of the Chinese community in the United States. They held rallies and marches in New York to demand a thorough investigation into the matter, the dismissal of the officers and soldiers involved, and the commendation of Chen Yuhui.
Under the pressure of public opinion, the US government had no choice but to say that everything would be carried out in accordance with the law and to dismiss the eight US soldiers involved.
Chen Yuhui's experience can't help but be regrettable, and it is even more resentful!
