941 , the skeleton of the Taki paved road, and then transformed
Cheng Tianle and Xiao Shao, who had already gone away, certainly would not know that Eisen had such a dangerous plan. Now it was not only them, but even the Avtana envoy might be in danger. Cheng Tianle escaped quickly, and when he passed through the forest, he disappeared in the air. He not only disappeared his tracks but also restrained his breath, but did not fly in the air, but walked along the complex terrain.
Not long afterwards, he got on a train, a truck traveling from east to west. The train was not fast. In the United States, the railway network is far less developed and advanced than today's China. Many railways even have a history of nearly a hundred years. For example, this railway was built in the gold rush era a hundred years ago, and it also embodies the sweat and blood and tears of countless Chinese workers.
The opening of the railway artery across 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 at that time, building a railway that crossed deserts and mountains was an extremely arduous and dangerous work. At first, the project progressed extremely slowly and there was no hope of success. It was not until the arrival of a large number of Chinese workers that turned around.
The American consortium recruited or lured nearly 100,000 Chinese workers through Chinese compradors to build a transportation line across the United States, leaving tens of thousands of corpses on the construction site. After the railway was built, the tens of thousands of Chinese workers who survived were not only unemployed, but also killed and expelled. In order to divert the conflicts, under deliberate propaganda and incitement, the locals believed that Chinese workers had seized their employment opportunities, so they flocked to the areas where Chinese workers gathered, burned their houses and killed them.
This large-scale and organized massacre was acquiescent and support from the US government. In 1886, the city of Seattle formulated special legislation to force Chinese people to leave within a time limit. In western states in the United States, "anti-China" once became a common campaign slogan for democracy and Republican parties to compete for voter support. Both sides tried their best to declare that they supported the persecution of Chinese people in the country more than the other.
These survivors of Chinese workers and their descendants were the earliest Chinese immigrants on the American mainland. They did not obtain legal status until many years later. In just over a hundred years, the world seemed to have undergone earth-shaking changes. Although many things seem familiar, the way they happen is very different.
Cheng Tianle and Xiaoshao boarded the train, and this railway leads to Seattle. The railway is a high-efficiency, low-cost and energy-saving large-scale transportation method, but it also requires large-scale investment and continuous maintenance investment. In the United States, the railway infrastructure built a hundred years ago has become increasingly aging, and now the more developed highway network is more developed. People are more willing to choose convenient and luxurious driving. If the road is far away, you can choose an airplane.
They walked more than 200 kilometers westward, then quietly got out of the car and entered the depths of the Rocky Mountains, found a secluded place to hide, and did not continue to set out until three days later. Cheng Tianle was injured while fighting with Aisen, but the injury was not serious. Moreover, he possessed the talented magical powers of a black fish demon king, and he also had almost the most powerful furnace cauldron. No matter what kind of injury he was, healed very quickly.
When Cheng Tianle set out on the road again, his injuries had already recovered. The three days of retreat in the mountains were not only to heal the wound, but also to study the newly-received staff. This staff was indeed magical, combined with the introduction of various magical techniques left by Bai Shao in the eye of the earth. Cheng Tianle can now use powerful magical techniques with the staff in his hand. There should be no problem pretending to be a great magical savage.
This time, Cheng Tianle did not walk deep in the Rocky Mountains, but stood by the road and tried to ride a ride. He did not have a backpack, and his things were included in the Wind Dance. The Wind Dance was in his pocket. On the interstate road in the United States, travelers who waved to ride a ride a ride are often seen. He also learned to follow the local customs.
But Cheng Tianle has an Asian face and is a single man. Many cars whizz past without stopping. While he was smiling bitterly, a black Lincoln stopped in front of him. One person shook the window and said, "Are you taking a ride?...ah, Cheng Tianle, why is it you!"
Cheng Tianle was also surprised when he saw this person and said in surprise: "Yu Fei, why are you here?"
It’s really a place where we meet in life. The person who was sitting in the car was Yu Fei, an old classmate who tricked him into the Suzhou gang eight years ago. Since he rescued Yu Fei from the pyramid scheme last time and informed his family to take him away, he hasn’t seen each other for more than six years.
Cheng Tianle's appearance has hardly changed much, but his temperament has become more mature and he has long hair, so Yu Fei recognized him at a glance. Yu Fei's appearance has changed a lot. He has obviously gained weight, his hair is not white, but there is a slight baldness in the center of his forehead, and his face is rounder than before.
Reunion in a foreign country thousands of miles away, the grievances of those years seemed to have disappeared. When Yu Fei was taken back by his family, the hard shell that closed his heart was ruthlessly shattered by Cheng Tianle. He returned to the track of normal life. His experience in the pyramid scheme gang was like an absurd dream. He also often recalled Cheng Tianle. As time went by, his heart was becoming more and more grateful to Cheng Tianle.
Yu Fei failed to study in Europe. After returning to China, he accidentally joined a pyramid scheme gang and was unable to extricate himself. When he woke up, he realized his fear. His parents thought that he had nothing to do after returning to China, so he encountered such a thing, so he made another decision - to send him abroad to study!
Yu Fei's family was well-off, and his brother and sister-in-law provided sponsorship, and sent this troublesome younger brother to the United States. It took him half a year to complete the trip through the procedures completed by a large domestic study abroad agency. After Yu Fei escaped from the pyramid scheme gang, he was still quite successful, or was brave after knowing shame, and he also felt a sense of urgency and began to work hard. He passed the language barrier within half a year and then came to the United States.
He studied at the University of Washington, located in Seattle in the northwest corner of the United States. According to Yu Fei's own feelings, China's basic education is really solid. After students like him came to the United States and overcame language barriers, as long as they are willing to work hard, their grades will not be bad. The real competitor is just another group of Chinese. He successfully completed his studies and obtained a degree, and then found a job in Seattle. He has worked in a software company for two years.
Yu Fei not only solved the employment problem, but also solved the lifelong event. During his studies, he lived and married a Chinese girl studying abroad. What is even more surprising is that he and his wife did not meet at school, but encountered a blind date arranged by both parents when they returned home during holidays. When they chatted with each other, they found that they were studying abroad in the same place, and they felt very intimate.
Of course, I have to buy a car when I live in the United States. Now the couple rent an apartment in Seattle. These are all the situations Yu Fei introduced Cheng Tianle in the car. This was something Cheng Tianle never dreamed of eight years ago. He couldn't help but congratulate Yu Fei on hearing this. As for him, he claimed to be a trip to the United States. He had seen many people standing on the side of the road, waving and stopping the ride, so he also learned to try it, but he didn't expect to stop Yu Fei.
Yu Fei: "Mr. Cheng, you are too brave. Are you just walking alone on the road, and you can take a ride all the way?"
Cheng Tianle wondered: "Why did you call me Cheng Zheng?"
Yu Fei smiled and said, "I later inquired about your situation and knew that you had established a council in Suzhou, or a famous master. I really didn't know Mount Tai at the beginning. Only a master like you could rescue me from that place and even gave me a stick to wake me up. My admiration and gratitude for you is simply..."
Yu Fei said something like the surging rivers and the rolling Yellow River. Cheng Tianle interrupted with a smile: "Don't just praise me. Now you have a successful career and a happy family, which makes many people envious."
Yu Fei sighed, holding the steering wheel and vomited bitterness: "Many people in China mention that people like me who go to the United States to study and graduate and find a job are often envious. But Cheng Zheng. You definitely won't envy me. In fact, I am also sad now. How can I be so easy to survive in a foreign country!"
Cheng Tianle was slightly stunned. He just gave a polite compliment. Unexpectedly, Yu Fei took it seriously. He did not ask Yu Fei about his plan to borrow money, but the other party took the initiative to complain. Cheng Tianle listened for a long time before he realized that Yu Fei had not obtained a green card, which is the permanent residence right of Zai Mi.
Yu Fei now gets a work visa. He needs to be re-suspended visa regularly. Once he is unemployed, he is likely to face the situation where he cannot live legally. Now that he wants to apply for a green card, the competition is fierce and even tragic, and most of his opponents are Chinese people in the same situation as him. These people have almost no other intentions in the United States. The most urgent priority is to get a green card. The most common way to apply is through marriage, political refuge, investment immigration and skilled immigration.
Finding an American to get married is the easiest way to apply for a green card. Many women do this, but for Fei, this is obviously impossible. As for applying for political refuge, it was once a method that many people have tried, and even fabricated various bizarre stories and experiences in China, claiming that they have been subject to various political persecution.
Too many green card applicants have tried to make requests for political asylum, which surprised the US Immigration Bureau and the people. These Chinese people don’t look like refugees! They are obviously well educated and have a relatively generous economic foundation. Why do they all claim to have been subjected to various political persecution in their own countries after coming to the United States?
Later, the specific personnel in charge realized that it was the green card application policy they formulated themselves, and encouraged these people to do so. Later, the Japanese also learned the knowledge. Although they were happy to see this situation, the difficulty of applying for approval was getting more and more difficult, unless the applicant's words and deeds were truly convicted at home and could also cause international influence.
For Yu Fei, what he can apply for is skilled immigration. As for the threshold for investment immigration, he neither wants nor can he continue to spend so much money on his brother and sister-in-law. Cheng Tianle is actually not very interested in this topic, but just asked politely: "Is skilled immigration difficult?"
This question opened Yu Fei's chatter. Along the way, he talked about skilled immigration to Cheng Tianle in the United States, and also clamped English in Chinese. He tirelessly introduced the US "employment" policy to Cheng Tianle, referred to as eb. The United States divided skilled immigration applicants into three levels, namely eb1, eb2, and eb3.
eb1 is an indispensable talent. As long as they do not work for other countries, they will make the greatest contribution to the United States. eb2 is defined as the talent needed by the United States, but there are many applicants and limited quotas, so it is not easy to get a green card. Applicants are not highly educated and have excellent professionalism, and have worked in large companies for a long time to cheap labor, so the application will not be approved.
As for eb3, the talent that the United States may need, and it is also defined as a person who may compete for jobs with local American workers. It is particularly difficult to get a green card and it takes a long time to wait. What they fear most is unemployment, because after three years of obtaining a work visa, they need to continue visas every year, and their spouses cannot work, so their parents can only stay for a short period of time when they visit.
If eb3 cannot find a visa job immediately after unemployment, it will be deported. Even if they have been working in the United States for many years, everything they have had with hard work is here. Therefore, they do not dare to change jobs easily, and even if they are dissatisfied with welfare and are discriminated against, they can only endure silently. Now Yu Fei is an applicant for eb3 level, so his situation is not very good.
It’s almost the same as Fei’s bitter water, Cheng Tianle smiled and said, “Anyway, you have made too much progress! Think about what we were like when we first came back from Germany, how could we think of today? Now you have gone to the United States to get a degree, marry a wife, find a job, and have gained a foothold in life. People always have different worries at different times, but this is a world of difference compared to the past.
But, if you feel uncomfortable here, why bother to endure it? In fact, if you go back, you may not have fewer opportunities than here. In my opinion, if you work hard and have the ability to make a name for yourself in this place, you won’t do worse in China now, unless you want to play table tennis or go to get a ranking. So you don’t have to sigh, there is actually not so much to worry about.”
Yu Fei sighed again and asked, "Mr. Cheng, do you really think I don't understand these things? But it's not easy for me to make such a decision unless it's time to be able to do so."
Yu Fei is not pretentious in front of Cheng Tianle now, and he talks about his feelings and mentality very frankly. There are many people like him who try every means to come here, and after several hard work, they have gained a foothold, as if they feel different. If they are asked to admit that the choices they have made may not be better, then why pay such a price? Isn’t this denying themselves, and also denying all the efforts they have made?
Therefore, many people must convince themselves to maintain a superior mentality and support it with this as their belief to prove that the value of having given all this is often contradictory.
In front of the Japanese, either emphasize your national pride so that you can have a destination in your heart; or even vigorously denounce all kinds of ignorance and backwardness in the places where you are born, so as to tell yourself that you have made a wise choice. In front of your compatriots, you must not only show that you have a patriotism in order to gain recognition and respect; but also maintain a sense of superiority to prove that you live closer to heaven.
Based on this mentality, although Yu Fei understood Cheng Tianle’s meaning, 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's just a part! But there are many people in similar situations to me, more or less, who have this mood. Today I will only say these words when I meet you."
Cheng Tian smiled happily and said, "Yu Fei, you are really thinking too much! You are a veteran, don't you understand a lot of things? In fact, everything we have experienced is meaningless. You have gained a lot over the years. It's not that you have to use one way to prove its value. I just said it just now. In fact, where there are no worries, it depends on how you choose. If you can stay here and live a good life, I'm happy for you. In any case, I wish everything goes smoothly for you!"
Yu Fei sighed and said, "Mr. Cheng, every time I meet you, it is my luck! There happened to be something happening now, and I'm afraid I have to ask you, Master Cheng, for advice."
