The 60-year-old Chinese casino in the United States was sued, and the tide of immigrant pension was questioned.

This article, "60-year-old Chinese American casinos are accused of cheating on eating and drinking immigrants' pension tide, which is questioned", was reprinted on China News Network (liuxue86.com) on March 7. Going to the United States, Canada and Australia for the aged is the advertising slogan of many immigration agencies. Can immigrants from these developed countries really live well when they are old? The tragic evening scene of the poor elderly overseas Chinese shows that the "paradise for the elderly" may be just a legend. Old age is miserable.

American Chinese media recently described the tragic life of a Chinese-American old man in his later years, which made people cry. An old man in Flushing, new york, USA, went to the casino in Connecticut for "dinner" every day, but insisted on going after being banned by the casino and was sued by the casino. At the trial, the judge thought he was old and infirm and dismissed him. Mrs. Li, who lives in Flushing and is over 80 years old, has to do "work" every day, that is, go to the casino for a free lunch with her wife and earn a little money by the way. Mrs. Li spent $65,438+00 or $65,438+05 on the "get rich bus" to the casino in the morning. First, she privately cashed the bets given by the casino, or played a few games to try her luck, and then returned to Flushing by bus after dinner.

One day, Mrs. Li was suddenly "invited" to a single room in the casino where she often went, and was warned not to come again. Don't speak English. Mrs. Li can't even speak a few words of Chinese, and she has no idea what they are talking about. She went to the casino as usual and soon received a complaint from the casino.

Insiders said that in the Chinese community, there are not a few elderly people hanging out in casinos every day. There were several car accidents in casinos last year, and most of the casualties were such old people. Some people in the community lamented that a sense of security and happiness should be the old age that hard-working parents deserve. However, these Chinese-American elderly people who can't integrate into American life are living in a foreign country because of lack of care and cultural and recreational life.

Spiritual needs are met.

How do old people in China live a happy old age in a foreign country? In fact, the material requirements of the elderly are not high, what they need is spiritual satisfaction.

An old woman in new york chose to live in a nursing home in order not to increase the burden on her son and daughter-in-law. Here, what she says most every day is the situation of her son, daughter-in-law, grandson and granddaughter. An old friend living in a nursing home said that grandma's happiest time was when her family came to see her, only two or three times a month, because her son and daughter-in-law worked hard and her grandchildren were nervous about their studies.

The Australian media once described the Chinese elderly as a "lonely group". There are always some old people from China standing at bus stops and intersections outside Sydney, holding addresses (forums) written in English. When they saw a man from China, they grabbed them and asked in Chinese how to get to this place. For the old people who are new to Australia, even basic actions such as taking the bus and going to the supermarket are very troublesome. All kinds of bank bills, medical reports, government notices, and a whole piece of English are even more confusing for the old people. What they want most is company.

Many elderly people living abroad in China are going to take the nursing home as their last home.

Be troubled by difficulties

Some people say, "America is a paradise for children, a battlefield for adults and a grave for the elderly." The elderly in China living in the United States do face many difficulties.

Some surveys show that the main difficulties include seven aspects. First, the language communication ability is low. Many elderly Chinese in the United States have a low level of English, and some even can't recognize all 26 letters. Second, traveling is not easy. Chinese-American elderly seldom drive, and most of them take buses or subways. Travel difficulties often plague the elderly. Third, it is difficult to apply for government public housing. Many elderly people in China in the United States spend 35% of their monthly income on rent, and some have to pay high water, electricity, gas and other expenses. Fourth, it is difficult to apply for government subsidies. Many elderly people in China complain that it is more difficult and restrictive to apply for government subsidies than to ascend to heaven. Fifth, cultural differences lead to family conflicts. Old people in China live with their children. Because of the cultural differences with children, many families will eventually quarrel. 6. Loss of social independence. Many old people depend on their children for everything, and even need help to buy newspapers. Seven, the living space is narrow. Because of the inadaptability of language and culture, many elderly people confine their lives to their families, their children usually go to work, and no one cares about them, so their living space is getting smaller and smaller.

Such difficulties are not only faced by Chinese elderly people, but also by Chinese elderly people in major immigrant countries such as Australia and Canada.
