"You are here again, and I have not left yet"

However, fate always loves you when you are about to usher in the light.

Zhang Jian, who had just paid off his debts in 2020, planned to return to China, but unexpectedly encountered the epidemic. Zhang Jian thought that the epidemic would not last long, but he did not expect the delay, which lasted more than a year, and Now that I am not only unemployed, it is even more difficult to return to my country.

A few months after the outbreak of the Cambodian epidemic in 2021, Zhang Jian’s factory was suspended due to poor management. Unemployment prompted Zhang Jian to make up his mind to buy a return ticket, but unexpectedly the ticket was cancelled.

In addition, the country has strict inspections on exiting personnel, and people who cannot prove that they are doing legitimate work are easily screened. Therefore, many people who come to Cambodia now are in decent industries, and many of them have worked in Cambodia before.

Zhang Jian also told reporters that the number of Chinese people on the streets of Westport seems to have increased recently, but when he saw this phenomenon, he could only sigh sadly: "You are all here again, and I have not left yet... ...."
