I have been granted political asylum in Germany. The staff of the community and immigration office congratulated me. I understand that they care about me, but I still feel deeply sad.

I was born in China, but I cannot live freely there. Moreover, my family has suffered long-term, ongoing persecution due to collective punishment. Even worse, my law-abiding child has been prohibited from leaving the country under the accusation of "subverting state power".

This is the ugly face of Xi Jinping. The atrocities of his authoritarian regime are countless and beyond comprehension.
