Zhai returned to China.

Zhai told the China News Service reporter after arriving in Beijing on the evening of 10 that "if the school continues to sue, I will return to the United States to face the charges against me".

In April this year, Zhai Tiantian, who was studying for a doctorate in New Jersey, USA, was arrested on charges of "terrorist threat" because of a conflict with the school, and was expelled from the school. Zhai was detained in a foreign country for about four months, and finally left the United States and returned to China with the right of "voluntary departure".

Zhai Tiantian is still accused of "terrorist threat" because he does not accept the admission of "misconduct" by the New Jersey prosecutor in exchange for his freedom. In an exclusive interview with a reporter from China News Service, Zhai said: "If the school continues to sue, I will face my accusation directly. If I go to the United States again in the short term, it will only be because it is a lawsuit. "

He said, "I know I didn't commit a crime, and I know I didn't threaten anyone. If the school collects the so-called evidence and formally sues me, I will definitely go back to the United States to face the charges against me, but I will still come back (China) after the lawsuit. "

Zhai, a doctoral student from China who was arrested on suspicion of "terrorist threat", arrived at the Capital International Airport at 6: 54 that night. Zhai Taishan, the father of Zhai Tiantian who came to pick him up from Yiyang, Hunan Province, said about his son's experience: "I feel so sad that I want to cry."

10 In the evening, Zhai Tiantian's father, Zhai Taishan, his aunt and cousin, his cousin, four family members and nearly ten friends met him at Beijing Capital International Airport. They stood in the most conspicuous position at the exit, holding a bunch of flowers and holding a sign with Zhai's photo and the words "Tian Tian is home", eagerly waiting for the plane to land.

I haven't seen Tian Tian for eight years. Zhai Taishan said that Zhai Tiantian had studied junior college, undergraduate, postgraduate and doctor in eight years since she got a visa to the United States in 2003. "If you can't seize the time, how can you finish it in such a short time?" Zhai Taishan said: "He should not have eaten well for four months. In order to save money, he used to cook by himself. His own braised pork is his favorite, and he has been taking care of himself for so many years. "

Zhai Taishan recalled that after this incident, his son asked him twice if he was willing to plead guilty. For the first time, Zhai Taishan told him that there is an old saying in China that "it is better to live on your knees than to die standing". For the second time, Zhai Taishan read him "Fire Will Live Forever". Zhai Tiantian understood his father's meaning and neither admitted nor admitted his mistake.

Zhai Taishan said that this matter is not a personal issue, nor a family issue, but a question of whether China people have dignity in the United States. "He (Zhai) thinks he is right. First, he pleaded not guilty. Second, he doesn't admit his mistake. I will support him to the end. "

Zhai said that he was released from prison and returned to China this time because the judge of the US federal immigration court approved his application for "automatic departure". He left the country on the 9th under the escort of the US Department of Homeland Security, and failed to meet friends, media and lawyers who went to see him off at the airport. His good friend brought a suitcase and he didn't have a chance to give it to him. Zhai said that this arrangement is "like escorting a felon" and does not reflect the right to "leave the country voluntarily". When he protested, the escort said, "If I don't do this, I will lose my job.".

Talking about the next step, Zhai Tiantian said, "I haven't considered too much. When I make up my mind, I will let everyone know. " However, he said, "China has changed a lot in the past ten years. I want to use this time to learn more about China through personal observation and feelings. I'm also considering choosing a university to speed up my study in China. I plan to finish my doctorate.

Regarding China students who want to study in the United States, Zhai said that China students usually only deal with their own people when they come to the United States, and suggested that international students who want to go to the United States should not only deal with China people, but also deal with local people. In order to understand the local society in the United States, China students should get in touch with foreigners properly, understand their culture and analyze the problems from the perspective of Americans.

/kloc-On the evening of 0/0, Zhai Tiantian's father Zhai Taishan and nearly ten relatives and friends in Beijing met him at Beijing Capital International Airport. When Zhai walked out of the airport with a simple handbag and arrived at the lobby, his father and son, who hadn't seen each other for eight years, hugged and cried.
