from Jinhui Chen <xxxxx@gmail.com> to AmCitBeijing@state.gov date Tue, Nov 17, 2009 at 10:00 PM subject Need Help Three Little American kids in China
To Whom It May Concern:
I am writing to raise your concern that three kids, one boy, at the age of five, born in Stony Brook, NY and a pair of twin, at the age of one, born in Ann Arbor, MI , need your assistance. To tell the long story short, their parents, Dr. Aiwu Sun (father) and Aiqin Liu (mother), are the recent Chinese returnees. They are not only jobless, but in fight of Dr. Sun's mental healthy problem. Dr. Sun has been wandering and sleeping on a street in Beijing when his treatment by taking medicine was ceased after his return, and his mental health again deteriorates.
The following video clip was recently shot by Beijing TV Station and has received widely broadcast and distribution online, which has already raised controversial issues regarding to protection of personal privacy.
http://news.vodone.com/sh/2009-11-13/125809384634.shtml
On one side, the anchor neglected the possible reason that leads to Dr. Sun's abnormal behaviors and did not show respect to Dr. Sun by commenting with cynical tone and scorn on the PhD degree, the returnee status and an article published on the privileged journal Science, and so forth. On the other side, this video clip has done a job positively, publicly announcing that Dr. Sun needs help. I should say, without this video I would not have known what the situation of Dr. Sun and his family is.
Dr. Sun completed his PhD at the SUNY-Stony Brook and had been a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Michigan for about two years before he and his family moved back to China possibly late May or early June, 2009.
Before their return, on January 31, 2009, Dr. Sun showed some symptom of abnormal mental problem and was taken to the University of Michigan hospital for evaluation and late that day he was transferred to a hospital in Livonia, Michigan for further monitoring. On February 18, 2009 he was discharged from the hospital.
The current situation of Dr. Sun and his wife, for no income, not just low income, has greatly influenced the parentship in raising their kids. Although Dr. Sun and his wife are not American citizens, their kids are. I believe the kids can receive Social Security benefits, food stamp or something similar in America. While in China, what and how can they claim the benefits for their kids?
In order to help this miserable family, it will be great if you can also be of assistance to Dr. Sun's treatment, for them to have the capability of taking full parental responsibilities. Obviously, they couldn't fulfill their obligations now because they have to fight the healthy problem. But we would like to see it won't take too long until Dr. Sun recovers.
For more information regarding to Dr. Sun's healthy issues, here is my blog (in Chinese) including details: http://www.sciencenet.cn/u/agostic01/
Unfortunately, my help is quite limited to, mostly, online communications. You may reach Dr. Sun's brother-in-law in beijing with the phone number (劉全勝:電話 13501195531) for the current status of kids and Dr. Sun's situation.
I am looking forward to your help to the three kids and the family.
Sincerely Yours,
Jinhui Chen
