In the video, Sun introduced his English name Eason, who has been in the United States for more than 30 years and has only returned to China once in the 16 years he has been wandering. "I've missed out on a lot of opportunities in the U.S., so I'm having a hard time right now because I'm so unrealistic. ”
Sun mentioned that he went to Brooklyn, New York in 2007, "for 16 years, he has been living without a fixed place and wandering." At the same time, he revealed that he had mental problems, "I was confused by lonely fantasies, I don't even know if it's true or fake now, (my mind is full of) hallucinations and fantasies." ”
According to local media reports, Sun was born in Jiangyin, Jiangsu Province in 1969, graduated from Fudan University with a bachelor's degree in physics, and went to the United States to obtain a master's degree and a doctorate in physics after graduation. As a researcher, he studied computer science and worked as a programmer on Wall Street for two years. Sun received a green card and became a U.S. citizen.
Sun said that he was later hit by the divorce, and his work and life could not be carried out normally, and there were also problems in interpersonal relationships.
In 2007, Sun began to wander and for 16 years lived by begging and picking up food discarded by others.
The alumni association confirmed that he was indeed a Fudan alumnus
After the video was released, classmates from the 85th junior class of Fudan University recognized Sun, and some people also posted a group photo of Sun and other domestic classmates who were admitted to American universities.
On the afternoon of January 4, a local rescue agency in Jiangyin City released a video saying that Sun, originally from Changjing Town, Jiangyin, was admitted to Fudan University's junior class majoring in physics, and was selected to study in the United States after graduating from his bachelor's degree. Many years ago, Dr. Sun had the intention of returning to China, but he was unable to make the trip due to the restrictions imposed on Chinese talents in the United States. Now, at the age of 50, his desire to return home has become stronger and stronger, and he looks forward to returning to his hometown as soon as possible with the care of his alumni.
Update of local rescue agencies in Jiangyin City

On the morning of the 5th, the liaison of the Fudan University American Alumni Association (New York) also confirmed Sun's identity to reporters, and said that the alumni of Fudan University in New York are actively trying to help him, "Our alumni association can confirm that he is indeed a Fudan alumnus." At present, there have been voluntary volunteer actions by local Fudan alumni in New York, but no direct contact has been made so far. ”
A person familiar with Sun's hometown told reporters that his family is now aware of Sun's current situation.
A staff member of the Changjing Town Government in Jiangyin told reporters that even though Sun's family lived in Changjing Town, the matter was his family affair, and they did not make a request to the town. If Sun is an American citizen, the local government cannot intervene.
A fellow villager in Jiangyin told reporters that Sun is still wandering in the Manhattan area of New York, but many people have gone to visit, and the problem of three meals has been solved. Because he has been wandering for many years, Sun has no documents on him, but he has the will to return to China, and his family has learned his thoughts.
