Who are the immigrants in Canada

 Yang Yang 
have been eager to communicate, today opened another Bo is not ready, I had to reprint a friend Ge snow, poets, writers, in Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver and other cities tour, with a for immigration to Canada: the Canadian immigrant life documentary . back to China and then can not find their place, lost family, lost the foundation of business. Finally, emigrated to Canada, for a job to run around on the road.
2003  8 the end of my entry into Canada from the United States, Since SARS, can not be planned in Toronto scheduled for an interview, and only temporarily resident town of Hamilton. did not expect that somewhere, as if the fate of the arrangements carefully, one can say that no trace of her thousands of Baidu's new immigrants in my field of vision and life. Even a few months later, in Montreal from Hamilton, Yao recalled the fate of that desolate, lonely, that the survival of life on the road profile still makes me stunned, subsequently sad. I am even think Yao's life story with the fate of a symbol or color, indicating that I am writing this book will be disseminated on the rich atmosphere of desolation will be accurate and comprehensive grasp of the immigrants living in Canada have some negative effects.
However, I still have to record faithfully listen and I met the real feel of life and stories of immigrants.
Yao fact one more than the name real name, the name meant. because for him, his name is almost a very accurate interpretation of his fate and life.
Yao first lived in the house next door where a few days I went to Hamilton did not see his shadow, listening to friends living in W, this is one of the scholars engaged in biological research, deep in the study all day. later, one too rent is too high, and second, he wanted to call security, because He is looking for work, afraid of the interview phone call, he is not long to live, a person spends too much security a phone call, you want to put forward our rented house and we Immigration is the biggest expense in life, to save rent,bailey UGG boots, many new immigrants who are the two sub-set of house,UGG boots clearance, called the the rental of the house has two floors on the first floor completely empty, a sticking point for the ideas and career of curiosity for new immigrants, live W a friend said I agreed. That night, in the Yao the house, we met. and imaginary nerd not the same, Yao looks very handsome and graceful, refined temperament, dress is very particular about the brand name T shirt short-sleeved shirt, black dress pants. coupled with his slender body , quite a few celebrities grace. He was born in 1955, counted 48 years old, but looked younger than his actual age. Luyao an opening, only to find that he starts talking, stuttered badly, and he likes to mixed with some English sentences, it sounds very difficult. He said that this is the student's habit, he spent 7 years in the United States. That night, I generally know, he taught at a university in Shanghai now, early in June to land in Canada, which is his third visit. He said he was in Shanghai, wages are only 1,600 yuan a month, I also teach domestic colleges and universities, saying do not believe, not only to the University Office of the handyman this money, a study in the U.S. for many years scholars Only a low wage? But Yao said that this does, indeed, what need he lying? Furthermore, if the domestic very well, he was so much older immigrants how to choose it?
should be said, for the first time to meet the kind of Chinese intellectuals who Luyao unique elegance and pedantic to me left a deep impression. such a person, there have been 7 years of experience studying the United States has such a closed pedantic character, engaged in such a highly outdated study, the expression of their mother tongue there are serious obstacles to people, in such an age, and why it has chosen to immigrate to Canada? he can find a quiet place to study in their favorite? If there is no source of income, he rely on to survive ? I believe a lot of people doing odd jobs RBI alone can survive, but Yao, how do I have hard to believe he can do or withstand the physical character and his temperament very different physical labor.
I realized that the fate of has been arranged for me a great interview subject unnecessary to wait until I started my interview in Toronto.
I hope that Yao went into the inner world to know through his life, and he chose the road today.
next day, Yao to move over. His luggage is very simple, a black suitcase, a military march by the green, a old laptop. the first floor of a large bedroom on the ground put a Simmons, Yao will be a spread sheet, it becomes a bed.
Yao usually up very late, he never eats breakfast. and he is quite particular about wearing just the opposite that he is too easy to eat, lunch and dinner is sleepwalk, do not dilute the rice bowl of semi-dry with a dish to eat, the food is generally the most simple or ready-made scrambled eggs,cheap UGG boots, canned heat it,UGG boots, I understand the reason he is so thin. I advised He should pay attention to diet, he said, are used to it, do not starve to death on the line, at home, eating is a pleasure, where the only means of sustaining life.
the next few days, we slowly familiar with, I always do a breakfast, so Yao and we ate.
I propose to think about his life and migration of the road, his experience will be included in my book, Lu Yao readily agreed.
quiet evening in Canada, the Yao began his narrative. he handsome facial features, in order to help bring about the expression of stuttering on the poor and with exaggerated gestures and forms a long-term the image of precipitation in my memory. He is somewhat confusing, study hard and personal way of cross-tangled marital changes.
