He was born in "Fudan", and he originally had a good future.
When he was in full glory, fate played a joke on him, thus starting the second half of his tragic life.
He is Sun Weidong.
Some people sympathize with him and pity him, but others say he deserves it.
What did he go through in his life?
【Down-and-out Wandering Uncle】
"Are you wandering here?"
One day in 2024, a video circulated on the Internet.
A man in the video is talking to a ragged uncle.
During the conversation, the man learned about the experience of the "homeless man".
According to the homeless man, he wasn't a wanderer before.
In previous years, he would often spend the night in an Internet café and sometimes on a bench.
But now it's winter, it's very cold outside, and it's hard to hold on.
Fortunately, in the recent period, he can go to some subway stations to rest, and there will be heating and stools inside.
After hearing such a tragic experience, the man could not help but feel a little compassion.
By this time it was getting late, and many people had already left work, so he asked the "homeless man" if he had eaten dinner.
According to the "tramp", he would eat some bread in the morning and at noon, and the day would pass.
For a homeless man, dinner seems like a luxury.
After hearing these words, the man sent out an invitation to invite him to dinner.
In a fit of enthusiasm, he followed the man into the restaurant to eat.
During the conversation, the man realized that the identity of this "homeless man" was not simple.
[The former "pride of the sky"]
It turned out that the man's name was Sun Weidong.
He is originally from Jiangsu Province and graduated from Fudan University with a bachelor's degree in physics.
Later, he came to study abroad for further study, and studied all the way to a doctorate.
After graduating with his Ph.D., he did a postdoc for a year or two before working on Wall Street.
According to him, when he worked on Wall Street, his annual salary was about more than 100,000.
If you just look at the first half of his life, it is a proper cool template.
But there's an old saying that says it well:
"It's not a good thing that people have too much in the first half of their lives."
Originally, as the "proud son of the sky", he had countless ups and downs in the second half of his life.
[A life trapped by illusions]
"I was so bewildered by loneliness and fantasy that I don't even know if it's true or not."
According to Sun Weidong, he has been wandering since 2007.
For so many years, he has been homeless.
When the man asked him why he was in such a situation, Sun Weidong said the sentence at the beginning of the paragraph.
And the reason why he has those symptoms may be related to his ex-wife.
When he was in United States, he met a Chinese woman.
The Chinese woman had also been married once before and had a daughter.
The two spent four years together.
In the next seven or eight years, the two did not officially divorce, but they no longer live together.
It is rumored that Sun Weidong's ex-wife married him for some purpose.
That is the green card of the United States.
After getting the green card, the woman revealed her "true colors".
Sun Weidong, who suffered such a blow, has been in a slump since then.
Immediately afterward, a proprietress who claimed to have opened a store in Manhattan spoke.
She had a different view on this.
[Sun Weidong when he was young]
According to the proprietress, she had previously opened a store in Manhattan.
And the first worker she recruited when she opened the store was Sun Weidong.
According to her, Sun Weidong was not as depressed as he is now.
At that time, the proprietress was very strange when she saw him come to apply.
Why would a person with a higher education apply for such a job?
Sun Weidong told her that he had not been able to find a job since 911.
According to the proprietress said, Sun Weidong was very serious when he was working.
And in the process of getting along, she felt that Sun Weidong was a very good person.
As for the fact that he will end up in such a situation, it is not all because of his "ex-wife".
When Sun Weidong didn't leave the store, the proprietress found that he would be in a trance.
Sun Weidong also told the proprietress that he was sick.
Regarding the news circulating on the Internet, the proprietress did not agree.
The proprietress thinks that if Sun Weidong's ex-wife really married him for a green card.
Can't Sun Weidong see it himself?
So the departure of his "ex-wife" is just worse for him.
As for why he didn't return to China, the proprietress also gave an explanation.
Sun Weidong is the eldest in the family, and he also has a younger brother.
He didn't have much savings of his own, and he wasn't too embarrassed to open up to his brother.
So I haven't been able to go back for so many years.
After the incident was exposed online, the alumni association of Fudan immediately took action.
Through the unremitting efforts of the local alumni association, Sun Weidong's basic life has been guaranteed.
And he also received some treatment.
Just when everything was developing in a good direction, someone exposed his "black material".
[Netizens' doubts]
With the passage of time, news of Sun Weidong's gambling seems to be circulating on the Internet.
If he ended up like this because of gambling, then it would not be surprising that netizens said that he deserved it.
The previous proprietress also mentioned this in the video.
Whether it's in Brooklyn or Chinatown, she said, the casinos are free on buses.
And those chip tickets are also free.
And there's no charge for lunch there, so he'll probably go there.
Although Sun Weidong looks pitiful now, he actually "lied" to everyone.
【Fatal Drawback】
As early as when the man was talking to Sun Weidong, his shortcomings were exposed.
According to the man, there are a number of relief shelters in the area.
But Sun Weidong felt that the relief shelter was far away from him, and he didn't want to go there.
And according to Sun Weidong, if he takes a few months off, he will definitely be able to find a job.
According to Sun Weidong's thinking, the job he is looking for must be a high-paying job.
He seemed to think that he was not fit for the manual labor.
The man felt that he was a little impragmatistic, and Sun Weidong admitted it.
After that, other netizens met Sun Weidong on the street.
During the conversation, the netizen learned that Sun Weidong seemed to have returned to his old life.
Now he has nothing to do but want to find a job.
And Sun Weidong said that the local alumni association had offered him some job opportunities.
But he didn't want to go.
Although he wanted to go back to China, there were some people who didn't want him to go back.
He was also helpless about this.
The only difference is that he now has no difficulty in eating and living.
