In recent years, thousands of Chinese have risked dangerous routes to reach the United States in pursuit of freedom. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
Among them is a man named Pan. He decided to leave China after his home was looted.
Pan entered the U.S. through Ecuador and is currently working as a restaurant chef in California. Although Pan and many other immigrants have found jobs, they face challenges such as language barriers, social isolation, and legal uncertainty.
Nevertheless, they consider their lives to be humble yet free. Unfortunately, Donald Trump's return to administration is dampening these hopes.
Trump's immigration raids, policies for deporting illegal immigrants, and the cooling of relations between the U.S. and China are increasing despair among immigrants. Many Chinese immigrants have not yet received official asylum status.
Some, despite having this status, are being detained during raids. Pan says: “If they deport me, I will have to return to China.
The thought of it is very painful.” Nevertheless, he states that he will not change his decision: “I will stay. Here I am free.”
