941, tired of Taji's white bones paving the road, and then changing the year

Cheng Tianle and Xiao Shao, who had already passed away, certainly wouldn't know that Ai Sen had such a sinister plan, and now not only them, but even the Avtena Divine Envoy might encounter danger. Cheng Tianle fled quickly, and his figure disappeared in the air as he passed through the mountains and forests, he not only concealed his tracks but also restrained his breath, and did not fly in the air, but walked along the complex terrain.

Soon after, he boarded a train, which was a wagon that traveled from east to west. Trains don't run fast, and in the United States, the rail network is far less developed and advanced than today's China, and many railways are even nearly 100 years old. For example, this railway was built during the gold rush era a hundred years ago, and it also embodies the sweat and blood and tears of countless Chinese workers.

At that time, the main railway artery that ran through the east and west of the United States had huge political and economic value, and it was also the beginning of the rise and take-off of the United States. However, under the conditions of the time, the construction of a railway through the desert and lofty mountains was an extremely difficult and dangerous task, and the progress of the project was extremely slow at first, with no hope of success, until the arrival of a large number of Chinese laborers.

Nearly 100,000 Chinese laborers recruited or lured by the American consortium through the Chinese compradors built a communication line between the east and west of the United States, leaving tens of thousands of bones on the construction site. After the construction of the railway, the tens of thousands of Chinese workers who survived were not only unemployed, but also brutally killed and expelled. In order to deflect the conflict, the locals, believing that the Chinese workers had taken away their jobs, flocked to the areas where the Chinese workers gathered, burned down their houses and killed them.

This large-scale and organized massacre was tacitly endorsed and supported by the US authorities. In 1886, the City of Seattle enacted special legislation. Forcing the Chinese to leave the country within a time limit. In the western states of the United States, "Chinese exclusion" once became a common campaign slogan between the Democratic and Republican parties to compete for voter support. Both sides have strenuous efforts to assert that they support the persecution of the Chinese in their territory more than the other.

The survivors of these Chinese laborers, along with their descendants, were the first Chinese immigrants to the continental United States. It wasn't until many years later that he struggled to obtain legal status. Just over 100 years later, the world seems to have changed dramatically, and many things seem familiar, but the way they happen is very different.

Cheng Tianle and Xiao Shao got on the train, and this railway is to Seattle. Railroad is an efficient, low-cost, and energy-efficient mode of transportation on a large scale, but it also requires massive investment and ongoing maintenance. People are more willing to choose the convenience and luxury of driving. If the road is far, you can choose an airplane.

They walked more than 200 kilometers to the west, then quietly got out of the car and went deep into the Rocky Mountains, found a secluded place to hide, and did not continue to set off until three days later. Cheng Tianle was injured while fighting with Aisen, but this injury was not serious, and he had the talent of a black fish demon king, and he also had almost the most powerful furnace ding, no matter what kind of injury he healed very quickly.

When Cheng Tianle set foot on the road again, his injuries had already recovered. The three-day retreat in the mountains was not only for healing, but more importantly for the study of the newly acquired staff. This staff is really magical, combined with the introduction of various divine techniques left by Bai Shaoliu in the pupil of the earth. Cheng Tianle can now cast powerful magic skills with a staff in his hand, and it should be no problem to pretend to be a great magician.

Cheng Tianle did not walk along the depths of the Rocky Mountains this time, but stood on the side of the road and stretched out his hand. Attempt to hitchhike. He didn't have a backpack, and everything he had with him was included in the Wind Charm Dance. And the charm of the wind dances in his pocket. On the side of interstate highways in the United States, it's not uncommon to see hitchhikers waving like this. He also learned to follow the local customs.

But Cheng Tianle has an Asian face and is a single man, and many cars whizz past without stopping. He was smiling wryly when a black Lincoln stopped in front of him, and a man rolled down the window and said, "Hitchhiker?" …… Ah, Cheng Tianle, how are you! ”

Cheng Tianle was also taken aback when he saw this person, and said in amazement: "Yu Fei, why are you here?" ”

It's really a place in life where we don't meet, and the one sitting in the car is Yu Fei, an old classmate who deceived him into the Suzhou gang eight years ago. It has been more than six years since Yu Fei was rescued from the pyramid scheme gang last time and informed his family to take him away.

Cheng Tianle's appearance has hardly changed much, but his temperament is more mature and he has long hair, so Yu Fei recognized him at a glance. And Yu Fei's appearance has changed a lot, he is obviously blessed, his hair is not white, but there is a slight bow in the center of his head, and his face is also rounder than back then.

reunited in a foreign country thousands of miles away, and the grievances of the year seem to have disappeared. When Yu Fei was taken back by his family, the hard shell that closed his heart had been ruthlessly shattered by Cheng Tianle, and he returned to the track of normal life, and his experience in the pyramid scheme gang was like an absurd dream. He also often thinks back to Cheng Tianle, and as time goes by, he is more and more grateful to Cheng Tianle in his heart.

Yu Fei failed to study in Europe, and after returning to China, he mistakenly joined a pyramid scheme gang and was unable to extricate himself, and he didn't know that he was afraid until he came to his senses. And his parents thought that he would encounter such a thing because he had nothing to do after returning to China, so they made a decision to send him to study abroad!

Yu Fei's family is well-off, his brother and sister-in-law provided sponsorship, and sent this troublesome brother to the United States, and it took more than half a year to go through the procedures of a large domestic study abroad agency. After Yu Fei got out of the pyramid scheme gang, he was still quite angry, or he was ashamed and brave, and he also had a certain sense of urgency and began to work hard, and he passed the language barrier within half a year, and then came to the United States.

He attended the University of Washington, located in Seattle, in the northwest corner of the continental United States. According to Yu Fei's own feelings, China's basic education is really solid, students like him came to the United States, after overcoming the language barrier, as long as they are willing to work hard, their grades do not have to be bad for their classmates, and the real competitor is only another group of Chinese. He completed his education and earned his degree, and then found a job in Seattle, where he had been working for a software company for two years.

Yu Fei not only solved the employment problem, but also solved the lifelong event, and lived with a Chinese female student studying abroad and married him while studying. Even more surprising. He and his wife did not meet at school, but met on a blind date arranged by their parents when they returned to their hometown during the holidays. When they chatted with each other, they found out that they were all studying in the same place, and they immediately felt very cordial.

Living in the U.S., of course, requires buying a car. Now the two of them are renting an apartment in Seattle, and these are all the things that Yu Fei introduced to Cheng Tianle in the car. This is Cheng Tianle eight years ago could not have dreamed of it, he couldn't help but congratulate Yu Fei, as for him claimed to be a tourist to the United States, he had seen many people in the movie standing on the side of the road waving to stop the hitchhiking, so he also learned to try, but he didn't expect to stop Yu Fei,.

Yu Fei: "Mr. Cheng, you are too bold. Just walk on the road and hitchhike all the way? ”

Cheng Tianle wondered: "Why do you call me Cheng Zong?" ”

Yu Fei said with a smile: "I also inquired about your situation later, and I know that you have established a council in Suzhou, and you are still a famous master." I really didn't know Tarzan at the beginning, and only a master like you could save me from that kind of place, and I was given a stick to wake me up. My admiration and gratitude for you is simply ......"

Yu Fei said something like the surging river and the rolling Yellow River, and Cheng Tianle interrupted with a smile: "Don't just praise me." Now you are also successful in your career and happy family, which makes many people feel envious. ”

Yu Fei sighed, holding the steering wheel and spitting bitter water: "There are many people in China who mention that they can graduate and find a job when they go to the United States to study in the United States like me, and they are often very envious. But it's all about it. You certainly won't envy me. In fact, my life is also sad now, how can I be so easy to mix in a foreign country! ”

Cheng Tianle was slightly stunned, he was just a courtesy compliment. I didn't expect Yu Fei to take it seriously. He didn't even ask Yu Fei about his plans to borrow money, but the other party took the initiative to complain. Cheng Tianle listened for a long time before he understood that Yu Fei had not yet obtained a green card, that is, permanent residency in the United States.

Yu Fei is now on a work visa. He needs to renew his visa on a regular basis, and once he loses his job, he is likely to face the situation of not being able to stay legally. And now if he wants to apply for a green card, the competition is fierce and even tragic, and most of the opponents are Chinese in the same situation as him. These people have few other thoughts in the United States, and the most urgent priority is to get a green card, and the most common ways to apply are through marriage, political asylum, investment immigration and skilled immigration.

Finding an American to marry is the easiest way to apply for a green card, and many women do this, but it is obviously impossible for Fei. As for applying for asylum, it used to be a method that many people had tried, and even fabricated all kinds of bizarre stories and experiences in China, claiming that they had been persecuted by various political authorities.

Too many green card applicants have tried to apply for asylum, which surprised the USCIS and the public, and these Chinese do not look like refugees! They are all obviously well-educated and have a relatively generous economic base, why do they all claim to have been politically persecuted in their own countries in various ways after coming to the United States?

It wasn't until later that the specific personnel in charge realized that it was their own green card application policy that encouraged these people to do so. Later, the devils also learned well, and although they were happy to see this happen, it became more and more difficult for the application to be approved, unless the applicant's words and deeds could really be convicted at home and have an international impact.

For Yu Fei, what he can apply for is skilled immigration, as for the threshold for investment immigration is too high, he neither wants nor can he continue to spend so much money on his brother and sister-in-law. Cheng Tianle was not very interested in this topic, but just asked politely: "Is it difficult to immigrate skills?" ”

This question opened Yu Fei's chatterbox. Along the way, he talked to Cheng Tianle about skilled immigration in the United States, and English was also sandwiched in Chinese, and he took the trouble to introduce to Cheng Tianle the "employment-based" policy of the United States, referred to as EB, and the United States divides skilled immigration applicants into three classes, which are called EB1, EB2, and EB3.

EB1s are indispensable people, and as long as they don't work for other countries, they are the greatest contribution to the United States. EB2 is defined as the talent that the United States needs, but with a large number of applicants and limited places, it is not easy to get a green card. Applicants who are not highly educated and professionally excellent, and have worked in cheap labor for a large company for a long time, will not be approved.

As for EB3, which is a talent that may be needed in the United States, and is also defined as a person who may compete for jobs with U.S. workers, it is especially difficult to get a green card and it takes a long time to get a green card. Their biggest fear is losing their jobs, because they need to renew their work visas every year after three years, their spouses are unable to work, and their parents can only visit them for a short period of time.

EB3 If you are unemployed and cannot find a job with a visa right away, you will be deported to your home country, even if you have worked in the United States for many years and have worked hard to have it here. Therefore, they do not dare to change jobs lightly, and even if they are dissatisfied with the benefits and are discriminated against, they can often only endure it in silence. And now Yu Fei is an EB3 applicant, so the situation is not very good.

The bitter water that is equal to flying is almost poured, and Cheng Tianle said with a smile: "Anyway, you have improved too much!" I wonder what it was like when we both came back from Germany, but how can we imagine today? Now that you've come to the U.S. to get a degree, married a wife, and found a job, you're on your feet. People always have different troubles at different times, but this is a world of difference compared to the beginning.

But if you don't feel comfortable here, why bother? In fact, if you go back, the opportunities may not be less than here. In my opinion, if you can make a name for yourself in this place with your hard work and talent, you won't be worse off in China now, unless you want to play table tennis or Go to get a place. So you don't have to sigh, there's not that much to worry about. ”

Yu Fei sighed again and asked rhetorically, "Mr. Cheng, do you really think I don't understand this?" But it's not easy for me to make that decision, unless I really can't help it. ”

Yu Fei is not hypocritical in front of Cheng Tianle now, and he talks about his feelings and mentality very frankly. There are many people like him, who have come here in every possible way, and have gained a firm foothold after several hard work, as if they feel different. If they are made to admit that the choice they made may not be better, then why pay such a price? Isn't this a denial of themselves, and of the effort they have already made?

Therefore, many people have to convince themselves to maintain a superior mentality, and use it as a belief to support it, in order to prove the value of having paid this qiē, and the mood is often contradictory.

In front of the devil, he either emphasizes his national pride, so that he can have a home in his heart; Either they try their best to denounce the ignorance and backwardness of the place where they came from, and tell them that they have made a wise choice. In front of compatriots, we must show that we have a patriotic heart in order to gain recognition and respect; And to maintain a sense of superiority in order to prove that you live closer to heaven.

Based on this mentality, although Yu Fei understood the meaning of Cheng Tianle, he also told him his own feelings. Cheng Tianle smiled and asked, "Does everyone think like you?" ”

Yu Fei shook his head and said, "That's not it, it's just a part!" But there are many people who are in a similar situation to me, who are more or less in this mood. That's when I met you today, and that's why I'm going to say these things. ”

Cheng Tianle smiled and said, "Yu Fei, you really think too much!" Are you from the past, don't you understand a lot of things? In fact, the qiē we have experienced is not meaningless, you have gained a lot over the years, and it is not necessary to use a way to prove its value. I'm just talking, but in fact, where there is no trouble, it depends on how you choose. If you can stay here and do well, I'm happy for you. In any case, I wish you more and more a smooth lì! ”

Yu Fei said with emotion: "Mr. Cheng, every time I meet you, it is my creation!" There happens to be one thing right now, I'm afraid I have to ask you, the master Cheng, for advice. ”
