In the United States, an elderly Chinese woman confronted an assailant with her cane
A 76-year-old Chinese woman bravely spotted an attacker in the United States, for which her courage is being praised in China.
In San Francisco, California, Shaw Yin She says she was
waiting to cross the street when she was hit by a man.
According to local media, he immediately responded with his
wooden stick and confronted the man.
There have been a number of attacks on Asian Americans in
recent months.
The Chinese social media site Weibo is trending a hashtag
these days that says "Asian-American grandmother responds to
attacker." This hashtag has been viewed 1.4 billion times.
Many people are praising Shaw Yin Shei for his bravery and
for teaching the attacker a lesson.
But some users commented that the Asian community in the
United States should unite and respond, otherwise they will be harassed for
remaining silent.

During the global Corona epidemic in the United States, many
citizens have blamed Asians for the disease
According to the South China Morning Post, a user on Weibo
wrote that many people from Asia have differences on many issues, but now it is
time for them to unite.
"Relations between China, Japan and South Korea have
never been good. But in the United States, the people of these countries must
unite because that will increase their power. "
"I am very saddened by this tragic event."
The bomber struck shortly after noon in front of a rally in
the Chinese capital, Guangdong. She was waiting to cross the road.
It is claimed that someone shouted the word
"sugar" and then a man punched him in the face. He reportedly
confronted the man with his wooden stick.
A video on the Internet shows Shaun Yinshe putting ice on her injured eye and crying. The alleged attacker is being carried on a stretcher.
San Francisco police say 39 people have been arrested and an
investigation into the attack is under way.
"My mother is very depressed after the attack,"
said Shaun Yinshey's daughter. She said her right eye was injured in the
attack.
Dong Mae Lee told the media that his mother was
"terrified" and that her eyes were still bleeding. He still can't see
anything with his right eye. "
Her grandson John Shane has created a GoFundMe page for his
grandmother and has appealed for donations for medical expenses.
"He has a serious eye injury and is constantly
bleeding," he said. He also has a wound on his wrist.
Shane says his grandmother's medical condition is unstable.
"Every time they talk about it, they become obsessed."
"I hope young Asian Americans will stand up for each
other and protect the elderly," she said in a statement.
A day before the incident, a man was charged with the murder
of eight people in the US state of Georgia. Six of them were Asian women.
The attack was not officially declared racist, but many in
the Asian community say they feel insecure in the United States.
During the global Corona virus epidemic in the United
States, many citizens have blamed Asians for the disease.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Lijian Xiao said in a
statement on Thursday that discrimination against Chinese citizens was on the
rise in the United States.
"We regret the disappointing move, which is the result
of unfounded discrimination."
