Whenever I think about Chinese Americans, I can’t help going back to this history:

却说田丰在狱中。一日，狱吏来见丰曰：“与别驾贺喜！”丰曰：“何喜可贺？”狱吏
曰：“袁将军大败而回，君必见重矣。”丰笑曰：“吾今死矣！”狱吏问曰：“人皆为君
喜，君何言死也？”丰曰：“袁将军外宽而内忌，不念忠诚。若胜而喜，犹能赦我；今战败
则羞，吾不望生矣。”狱吏未信。忽使者赍剑至，传袁绍命，欲取田丰之首，狱吏方惊。丰
曰：“吾固知必死也。

I know the comparison is not really fit, but I just can’t shake off this scene. The sad and ironic thing is this:

The worse our old land turns, the safer we in new land.

If it’s Cold War like now, China needs to follow soviet path into disintegration and chaos, if real war, China needs to suffer heavy loss like 1894 war with japan
