There are ten thousand reasons why international students are deported.
It may be an issue of academic integrity, or it may be an issue involving illegal crimes, etc.
But it will never be because of a random photo taken.
Just recently, a shocking piece of inside information was exposed on the Internet:
Two Chinese students studying at University of Michigan were sentenced for trespassing and secretly filming a Florida military base on January 4, 2020.
Master student Wang and undergraduate student Zhang
No one thought that it was just a "check-in photo" taken casually.
not only ruined his originally promising life, but also personally sent himself to prison.
According to the latest news, these two people have now completed their sentences and have been repatriated to the country...
Now two years later, their stories are still alarming.
As the saying goes: "There is nothing trivial about studying abroad, and if something goes wrong, it is a big deal."
This is not the first time that international students have been in trouble due to clock-in issues.
It is reported that after the incident, the student involved, Zhang, was sentenced to 12 months in prison . Wang was sentenced to nine months in prison.
Some people will inevitably question when they see this:
"Just taking a check-in photo shouldn't lead to such a long sentence."
Everything started from 2 years ago.
What kind of photo caused all of this to happen?
At 8:30 in the morning on January 4, 2020, Wang and Zhang accidentally drove into the Naval Base in Key West, Florida.
Then a tragic scene happened.
At that time, the door guard warned them to turn around and leave immediately.
But who would have thought that these two newborn calves would not be afraid of tigers. Not only did
not listen to the advice, but he drove straight ahead and drove the car into the legal restricted area.
About half an hour later, navy security personnel arrested the two people without saying a word and found that they were carrying mobile phones and Nikon cameras with them.
Originally, if the two of them had just broken into the military zone out of curiosity, they would not have been deported and imprisoned.
What really put them in danger was that these two tiger kids took a lot of live pictures at the scene.
The two men were immediately arrested.
You must know that such cases are not isolated.
On December 26, 2019, Chinese student Liao Luyou also entered the same naval base and was arrested for illegally taking photos.
At that time, Liao not only bypassed the security fence with a "warning" posted on it, but also continued to walk and take photos in the restricted area after receiving a verbal warning from the guard.
What awaits him is still a year in prison.
You must know that Liao was a visiting scholar at BGI St. Louis University, and his future was originally bright.
fell short because of this reckless behavior.
A doctorate and a master's degree are really lamentable.
Just thinking about the fact that the parents of these three tiger children spent millions in tuition fees to train them, all their efforts were wasted.
According to a spokesperson from the University of Michigan: "The two students involved in the case have been expelled."
Not only were they unable to complete their studies, but the two were also permanently restricted from entering the country.
Among them, Wang graduated from Beijing Jiaotong University with a bachelor's degree. He was previously studying for a master's degree in industrial engineering at the University of Michigan.
has played the good cards of life badly.
After similar incidents occurred, the Chinese Embassy in the United States issued many reminders: Chinese citizens should pay special attention to relevant signs when traveling.
For example: avoid military restricted areas to prevent accidental entry and accidental photography, and be careful not to trespass on private property to avoid being imprisoned for "hunting for novelties" or "checking in".
Never lose your degree or future because of your own selfish desires.
is not cost-effective, either stupid or bad.
Summer vacation is just around the corner. You must pay attention to the small details of studying abroad.
It is now during summer vacation. Traveling around is indeed a very good way to relax.
But you have to know that foreign countries are not lawless places. No matter what the reason, you must proceed with caution.
If you receive a warning from the local police or military, you must evacuate from the area immediately.
After all, we are just going to seek education, and we must not do anything illegal.
In addition, we must also maintain a high level of security awareness.
1. Life issues
As an international student who leaves his hometown and family for the first time, he must be careful in a foreign land.
As the saying goes: "You must not have the intention of harming others, and you must have the intention of guarding against others."
Never think about saving money when it comes to accommodation. Choose a dormitory or apartment with a high safety factor. It is best to have a trustworthy friend who shares the house with you. friends, otherwise it would be better to live in school.
In addition, never go out alone at night. The security situation abroad is obvious to all. Shootings and violent conflicts are everywhere. Although it may not be your turn, we can do something to reduce the probability of being hurt.
2. Learning issues
In fact, when it comes to learning, the two focus issues that cannot be avoided are mental health and academic integrity.
According to incomplete statistics, nearly 8,000 international students are deported every year, and nearly half of them are due to academic misconduct. I will not go into details about how strict Europe and the United States are in academic matters. I believe everyone has heard of it. of.
What I want to focus on is that mental health issues have always been the most overlooked, but it is also the most dangerous issue.
At worst, your studies will be abandoned halfway, and at worst, your life will be lost.
When you encounter major setbacks and accidents, you must not carry them yourself.
Don’t forget that there are many people who love you behind you.
3. Social issues
The most effective and reliable sentence is to stay away from circles that you are not suitable for, and do not easily step into circles that you have not been involved in before.
In addition, international students would rather not socialize than make friends with garbage people. I think Jiang Ge’s case will definitely enlighten everyone.
is written at the end:
It is very difficult for international students to be alone abroad. They have to learn to grow up alone and are used to doing everything alone.
But never forget that being strong and excellent is just your characteristic, not your obligation.
Why not open your heart and speak out your pain when necessary? Someone will always listen.
