Sun Weidong, a 54-year-old Chinese American doctor, finally had good news on 7 January.
With the help of the Fudan University Alumni Association and volunteers, he finally didn't have to cover a thin quilt in the cold winter, curled up in a ball, and slept on the hard and cold concrete floor, and now he finally has a warm place to stay, albeit temporarily.
The volunteers also bought him new clothes and pants, and cut his hair, and the fifty-four-year-old sloppy tramp doctor finally looked clean and energetic after 16 years of wandering:
Volunteers have also recently begun to contact the New York State Department to apply for a monthly living allowance for the doctor, who has lived in the United States for 30 years and has the right to apply for benefits in his own country.
The volunteers will then contact the local hospital to treat him, hoping that he will be able to return to his normal life and solve his own life problems.
The wandering doctor also spoke out on the Internet:
He said that he had experienced some changes in his life and found himself in the predicament he was in, and he also thanked those who helped him to finally cheer him up.
Everything he has now is indeed thanks to the concern and discussion of the majority of netizens, and the public opinion on the Internet has attracted the attention of Chinese Americans, and finally allowed him to get help and get out of his previous predicament.
In particular, the Fudan University Alumni Association in the United States, after learning that Dr. Sun had been wandering for 16 years, immediately set up a large group of more than 200 people to help Dr. Sun, raised a lot of donations, and set up a volunteer group to carry out specific actions.
After Dr. Sun was properly accommodated, there was someone who took care of him during the day.
This result is comforting to those who care about Dr. Sun, especially her mother, who is now in her 80s and suffers from cerebral infarction and high blood pressure, as well as his younger brother.
In this action to help Dr. Sun, the relevant departments of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the mainland also actively implemented assistance to provide solutions for the rescue operation.
From the latest news, it is known that as reported by the media before, his willingness to return to China for the elderly is still far from being realized.
In any case, Dr. Sun, 54, has lived in the United States for 30 years, during which time he has only returned to China once, his father died, he never returned to China, and he is now an American citizen. Therefore, he has become Xi to life in the United States, and it can be seen from his expressed willingness that he hopes to find a job on Wall Street in the United States, and said that he can definitely find a job with a monthly salary of 6,000 US dollars.
Therefore, it is a bit premature for netizens to discuss his return to China.
But if he really wants to return to China, will the people in China want to?
At the moment, there is a heated discussion in this regard.
Hu Xijin, a well-known influencer, said that Dr. Sun, as a Chinese, wandering in New York, USA, is in such a predicament, and if he wants to return to China, we should be tolerant.
However, his statement was the subject of much controversy.
Xiang Ligang, a well-known self-media person, has a completely opposite view to Hu Xijin, he feels that this kind of person loves the United States from the bottom of his heart, and now he can't go back to China and wants to go back, he will never support it, and he has also posted several updates one after another, all of which are of this view.
And Zhang Xuefeng of counseling education also posted an article to express his views, but he said it more vaguely.
The opinion of the majority of netizens is that they do not support him returning to China, after all, he chose to stay in the United States and became an American citizen, which means that his heart has gone to the United States, and now he is in trouble there, and he wants to return to China to get help, and he should find his nationality country to help him.
