The Australian recently published a column about Sun Wei (Sun Shiyan).
The title is <Investor linked to China poisoning> which translates to "There is a person who comes to invest in us, and it may have something to do with a poisoning case in China".
Australians are so nosy, it's a bit unbelievable.
But the publication also explained why: In Australia, more than 37,000 people signed a petition demanding that Sun Wei be repatriated to China.
The petitions are addressed to the Prime Minister, the Minister for Immigration and the Minister for Foreign Affairs.
Public pressure may be one of the reasons why The Australian magazine had to pay attention to the Sun Wei incident.
But that's more than that.
I read this column of "The Australian" in detail, which once again retold the general details of the Zhu Ling case back then, which is actually a cliché, nothing more than a change of borders and a change of culture, but I can also read similar emotions.
Therefore, Sun Wei's biggest enemy is actually the narrative of Zhu Ling's case, as long as justice is not served, then this story will be mentioned again and again, when the story is told repeatedly, no matter which developed country Sun Wei goes to, change to any name, she will be repeatedly talked about by the local media.
The 37,000 people petitioned for Sun Wei to return to China, which is not a large number, because when Sun Wei fled to the United States in 2015, the United States petitioned the White House to repatriate Sun Wei, a total of 150,000 people.
In China, there are more people who are looking forward to Sun Wei's return.
Among them is Zhu Ling's parents.
According to the report of "Australian", Zhu Ling's parents wanted the world to know that until the last moment of her life, Zhu Ling did not close her eyes. "We want her to come back to China."
I can understand their feelings. In fact, even if there are no sanctions, as long as Sun Wei is closer to the scene, it can make her feel a little uneasy, and Zhu Ling's parents will also feel a little compensated emotionally.
According to the photos provided by "The Australian", the middle-aged Sun Wei has also been blessed, and by the side of her husband Mr. Xie, Sun Wei can laugh heartily.
Sun Wei bought three properties for $2.11 million and then sold them in 2021 for $1.47 million. Today, Mr. and Mrs. Sun Wei have five properties in Australia.
Therefore, it is actually very appropriate for "Australia" to use the word investor to describe Sun Wei, she has indeed invested and made money in Australia.
Why should The Australian be entangled in Sun Wei's identity as an "investor"?
I think it's because the act of investing means that you identify with the market and culture of a place, and if you invest in real estate, it means that you are interested in living here for a long time, and you want to be a local.
So when Sun Wei wants to integrate into Australian society, publications like "The Australian", from the perspective of controlling values, will examine whether Sun Wei's morality meets the standards of a normal Australian citizen.
So it's actually very reasonable to talk about investors.
For example, Sima Nan, a patriotic big V, invested in real estate in the United States.
Some Chinese self-media to entangle Sun Wei's appearance, saying that now he has a sideways face, which can be seen from the heart, I think this is very uninteresting and not convincing.
Looks can't say anything, the shooting of the camera, at different times, is to shoot a fierce face, but also to shoot a person's kind side.
Could it be that if Sun Wei put on makeup and smiled harmlessly at the camera, would we be able to let go of all kinds of doubts about her?
"The Australian" is eager to hand over Sun Wei's story, and the subtext of doing so is: don't think too much, Australia is not a place to hide dirt and dirt, and it is not a place where you can easily settle down with some money. We also have a bottom line!
This kind of bottom line is actually values, cultural identity, and more specifically, what kind of person you are and what kind of person you want to become.
When Sun Wei thought that he could integrate into Australia with some money and enjoy the rest of his life quietly, I'm sorry, the little hand of justice will always knock on your door late at night from time to time, please don't pretend not to hear.
