In fact, this is not the first time Yang Lianhui has faced such a situation.
Two years ago, an African-American suspect attacked Yang Lianhui's boxing gym, and then the two staged a street chase.
Yang Lianhui said that he wanted to subdue the criminals with a shotgun, but in order to avoid breaking local laws, he chose to stay rational and chase after him with his bare hands.
During the process, the suspect stabbed him with a knife, and the suspect eventually fled.
Discrimination against Asians is released, and overseas compatriots need to protect themselves!
In recent years, crimes involving Asian-American hate have occurred frequently in the United States, especially attacks or robberies in public places.
On January 8, Amy Wax, a tenured professor at the University of Pennsylvania, openly remarked that Asian Americans "poisoned scientific institutions" when participating in an interview program.

On the 15th, in New York City, the United States, a Chinese woman died after being pushed off the rails by a homeless man at a subway station for no reason.
The New York Times pointed out that since the outbreak of the new crown epidemic, hate attacks against Asians have caused this group to suffer too much suffering and injustice.
Taking Chinese living in New York as an example, a survey released by Columbia University in October last year showed that between March and December 2020, 58% had experienced some form of discrimination, and 20% had experienced threats or threats. harassment.
Under the epidemic, harassment and even violence against Asians has continued to increase. Some analysts believe that this is a continuation of the history of racism in the United States.
But in the absence of widely recognized symbols of hatred against Asians, when Asians are attacked, it becomes very difficult to prove that the attackers have racist motives.
Therefore, it is particularly important for overseas Chinese and Chinese students in the United States to improve their safety awareness and strengthen self-protection.
