Recently, some netizens met a homeless Chinese man on the streets of New York, USA, who claimed to be a graduate of Fordham University, and explained that he had graduated from Fordham University with a Ph.D.; the Fudan University Alumni Association in Mainland China also confirmed later that due to restrictions on Chinese talents in the United States, After returning home, he wandered in the United States for 16 years. However, local alumni have now volunteered to help the man return home.

According to Chinese media reports, the 54-year-old street friend surnamed Sun is from Jiangyin City, Jiangsu Province. He is also a U.S. citizen. He said in the video that he graduated from Fudan University and later studied for a doctorate. After graduation, he still worked on Wall Street. However, although the man said that he lost his job due to depression, he wandered on the streets of New York for 16 years.

As for the reason for suffering from depression, Sun Nan revealed that it was because of his unstable job and lack of livelihood at the time. After graduating from his Ph.D., he worked in a software industry on Wall Street. Although the salary was good, he only worked for more than half a year before changing jobs. “Later, the economy was not very good and he might not afford the rent.” Therefore, he divorced his ex-wife.

Later, it was confirmed by the Mainland Alumni Association that Sun Nan had been admitted to Fudan University’s junior physics class as early as 16 years old. After graduating from college in 1988, he passed the “China-US Joint Physics Graduate Program” and was sent to Brooklyn College of the City University of New York to specialize in physics and obtain a doctorate. The tuition was entirely paid for by the United States.

One day, a woman named Li, who claimed to be from the same hometown and elementary school classmate as her grandson, told the Chinese media, “Everyone knew that my grandson went to the United States. People in the town have been discussing it recently, but it has already been announced.” Because he was engaged in secret work abroad, that’s why he didn’t return to China for many years.” However, Sun Nan’s younger brother seems to be thinking of ways for his brother to return to China.

In fact, Sun Nan had wanted to return home, but at that time, the United States restricted Chinese-American talents from returning to the mainland, so he was never able to go home. After many twists and turns, he began to wander on the streets of Manhattan, USA, for 16 years. . It is reported that the New York branch of the Fudan University Alumni Association has already organized alumni on their own initiative and provided assistance to help the grandson return home smoothly.
