Things have developed to this point, and what Su Mu is seeking is no longer limited to Old Lady Lin's relief money itself.

It's more about proving one thing – trying to prove that the Chinese can also unite and stand up for the benefit of their fellow citizens.

It cannot be said that his approach is radical.

Without living in the United States in this era, it is difficult to imagine what kind of unfair attitude the Chinese are facing, and Su Mu can no longer endure it after being angry since childhood.

Although the Chinese Exclusion Act, which lasted for nearly 100 years, was repealed as early as 1943, the prohibition of Chinese intermarriage with whites in California did not end until 1948.

Similar statutes were still in force in other states until 1967, when the U.S. Supreme Court ruled unanimously that the ban on interracial marriage was unconstitutional.

Although a series of draconian Chinese exclusion laws were repealed, discrimination and exclusion continued.

During the implementation of the Chinese Exclusion Act that year, Chinese Americans were deprived of equal job opportunities, rights to own land, business, education, etc., and the activities of Chinese living in the United States were confined to the Chinese community, concentrated in "Chinatown", and lived by operating laundries, restaurants, grocery stores and other menial and difficult service industries.

Until now, media hosts such as CNN, ABC, FOX and other media hosts will still accidentally slip out of their mouths to discriminate against Chinese people, such as Squint, Chinese Yankee, Wang Xiaoer in the laundry, etc.

When he was a child, a white boy had a good time with Su Mu, but later his father came over and said in front of Su Mu that he couldn't play with Chinese people, which left a big shadow in his heart.

Once went on a vacation trip, the teacher who led the team asked Su Mu if he was Korean, and when he learned that he was Chinese, his attitude suddenly became cold.

His father, Su Dingcai, also said that when he was young, he went to find a job and was scolded by white people, and scolded him for taking away the job that should have belonged to white people.

Countless little things, Su Mu remembered in his heart.

Hundreds of dollars in handouts are a trivial matter, no one dumps garbage is a trivial matter, restricting the number of Chinese students in school is a trivial matter, a compatriot being shot is a trivial matter, and the police are trivial matters to pick out Chinese people for inspection...... It seems that except for being held to the head with a gun, everything is acceptable to the Chinese.

No matter what the election, people don't like to participate, and the votes in their hands are wasted, so that politicians are indifferent to the Chinese community, and naturally they will not make any decisions in favor of the Chinese people, so as to attract their votes.

The old people always said that compared with the past, this era was already very good, but the young people, including Su Mu, were not satisfied, and he hoped that it would be better to vent his dissatisfaction with this incident.

In the 80s, with the rise of the motherland, it was the time period when the status of Chinese in the world began to rise.

A large middle class is emerging, and young Chinese people have their own ideas, and they are beginning to be dissatisfied with the status quo and fight for their own interests, which is also a distinctive feature of this era......

*******************

Loyola Private High School, a small and strange incident happened recently, when the principal and the dean of academic affairs had a dispute over a student's admission qualifications.

That special recruit student is Su Mu!

Speaking of this, Su Mu was affected, the old principal was about to retire in a year, and the director of academic affairs, who was loved by the school directors, had just been included in the list of candidate principals, and began to fight for power, often contradicting the old principal.

This year, in order to save its reputation, Loyola Private High School specially prepared three publicly-funded places, Su Mu's grades are very good, but the family conditions are really bad, as one of the top aristocratic schools in Los Angeles, there has never been a similar precedent.

The dean of students felt that the school should not be lowered, in his words, it should be "reduced to a third-rate private high school because of a poor man", and he preferred to give the place to the grandson of an old star of the film association.

The principal felt that it should be based on grades, otherwise he would lose the original intention of setting up publicly-funded places, and among those students, Su Mu's super high grades were the most in line with the standard.

The two sides were at a stalemate, so a mutually recognized "investigator" Mr. Smith was arranged, intending to find out about Su Mu's character and personality before the interview, and see if he was qualified to attend Loyola High School.

In other words, Mr. Smith's attitude has become the decisive factor in whether Su Mu can get a publicly-funded admission place.

Speaking of this Mr. Smith, his job is actually a teacher, and he will only enter the school after the start of school in September, and he is very relieved to have no contact with this kind of person who has never dealt with each other, whether it is the principal or the dean of academic affairs.

Don't think that the atmosphere in the United States is very open-minded, in fact, there are small groups in every industry, high schools and universities are no exception, from the White House to kindergarten, there will always be people fighting for power, this is human nature.

For the first time in this special capacity, Mr. Smith was a little excited today, always feeling like James Bond, an agent in the movie, but the task was to investigate Sumu, which sounded simple but troublesome to deal with.

Yesterday, the principal and the dean of students talked to him separately, the former asked him to go through the motions, and the latter asked him to find fault with the "Leon-Sue" classmate, and it didn't feel good to be caught between the two.

Teacher Smith knows that this means "uncomfortable for a year, happy for several years", or "happy for a year, uncomfortable for several years", mainly looking at who is closer, it is impossible to get past with the mud, no matter how you answer, it will annoy one party, holding a small note in her hand, which has the address and number of Su Mu's house, sighing when she walks, and feels that it is better to see Su Mu first.

It was so coincidental that at this moment he saw a Chinese teenager who was handing out leaflets, so he leaned over, intending to ask how to get to this address, Su Mu thought that this white man was also interested, so he handed the leaflet to Mr. Smith, and said in a hoarse voice: "Help, for those old people." ”

After resting all night, Su Mu's voice was slightly better, but it was still hoarse, and it hurt when he spoke a little louder.

"I'm sorry, I have something to do today, can you tell me how to get here?"

Teacher Smith handed the note in his hand to Su Mu, and then said, "Don't worry, I'm a high school teacher, and I want to know about him before I enroll."

The student's name was Leon Sue, and his Chinese name was ...... Su Mo, do you know him?"

The English name in front is read very smoothly, and when you pronounce the Chinese name, it is like stuffing a stone in your mouth, and the pronunciation is very strange.

Su Mu was slightly stunned, and when he saw the words on the note, he was immediately dumbfounded, and thought, "Damn...... Isn't this what came for me?!"
