2024年1月7日 - （纽约）一名在纽约街头漂泊了16年的无家可归者被确认为孙博士，他是复旦大学的校友，曾是一名在华尔街从事软件开发的前职业人士，获得了美国一所学府的博士学位。上周五，纽约的上海复旦大学校友会证实了他的身份，引起了广泛关注和对他境况的讨论。
孙博士从学术精英堕落到城市边缘的经历是一段个人逆境和制度挑战的故事，让这位江苏省江阴市54岁的本地人无家可归。他的故事是通过一位博主在线发布的一系列视频片段曝光的，该博主给这位声称在街头生活了十多年的男子提供了食物。
孙博士在复旦大学学习物理，之后在美国继续深造，获得物理学硕士和博士学位，随后进行了博士后研究，之后在华尔街从事了近两年的软件开发工作，月收入曾一度超过10万美元（约78,000英镑）。尽管有着如此光明的职业前景，但孙博士的生活在与婚姻破裂和试图返回中国受到当时美国对中国人才的限制的双重打击后发生了变化。
孙博士与在纽约认识的一名中国女子结婚，后来在获得美国绿卡后离婚，这对他的福祉造成了重大打击。随后的情感困扰导致他难以维持正常的工作和社交互动，加剧了由听觉幻觉引起的现实与妄想之间模糊界限的困境。这一渐进的衰落导致他在2007年开始无家可归。
尽管孙博士目前是美国公民，仍然时常经历幻觉，但他并未寻求政府庇护，将其决定归因于他目前位置的距离。他对一个有尊严的生活的渴望仍然存在，尽管他坦言自己在面对不切实际的期望和普遍的妄想时感到困扰，这些因素妨碍了他重新进入职场。
这一案例引发了激烈的在线辩论，网民们推测孙博士困境背后的原因。有人认为纽约高昂的生活成本可能是一个 contributing factor，而其他人则质疑他的英语水平，尽管他在美国有着丰富的教育和工作经验。然而，软件开发领域的专业人士指出，编程工作通常不要求高水平的英语口头沟通能力，这表明孙博士的沟通困难更可能归因于他的心理健康问题。
针对孙博士的公开困境，纽约的复旦校友们已经发起了志愿行动，而他的家人，现在已经了解到他的情况，呼吁保护隐私。孙博士的亲戚谴责了很多在线讨论为不准确，与校友会已经展开了讨论，以协调支持。
童年同学，包括刘先生在内，回忆起孙博士作为一个聪明、运动员出色且学术天才的个体，老师们几十年来一直将他尊称为“传奇”。他们在得知他目前的境况时产生了深深的感慨。
孙博士的学术贡献曾在Google Scholar上有过记录，包括1992年至1999年间发表的30多篇英文论文，其中有几篇被刊登在以诺贝尔奖得主的物理研究而闻名的《Physical Review》期刊系列中。该系列被认为是全球发表最多诺贝尔奖得主物理论文的系列。
上周五，复旦大学美国校友会（纽约）确认孙先生确实是复旦大学的校友，并表示纽约的复旦校友已自发组织了志愿行动。知情人士透露，孙先生的家人现在已经了解到他的情况，但希望不受打扰。孙先生的一位亲戚表示，很多在线信息都是“不真实的”，家人和复旦大学校友会之间已经建立了沟通，讨论如何最好地帮助他。此外，孙先生的小学和初中同学之一刘先生提到，孙曾经是一个外向、运动型的人，学业出色，老师们在他成长的几十年中一直将他尊称为“传奇”。对于他们来说，几十年后看到他在美国街头的视频生活，心情深感沉痛。根据Google Scholar平台的信息，孙先生于1997年从纽约市立大学毕业，其导师为Carl M. Shakin。
7th January 2024 – (New York) A homeless man found wandering the streets of New York for 16 years has been identified as Dr. Sun, an alumnus of Fudan University and a former Wall Street software developer with a doctorate from an American institution. The Shanghai Fudan University Alumni Association in New York confirmed his identity on Friday, sparking widespread concern and discussion about his circumstances.
Dr. Sun’s descent from the academic elite to the urban margins is a tale of personal adversity and systemic challenges that have left the 54-year-old native of Jiangyin, Jiangsu province, without a home. His story came to light through a series of video clips posted online by a blogger who provided meals to the man claiming to have been living on the streets for over a decade and a half.
Educated at the prestigious Fudan University in Physics, Dr. Sun pursued further studies in the United States, attaining a master’s and a doctoral degree in Physics, followed by a postdoctoral stint and nearly two years in software development on Wall Street where his monthly earnings once exceeded $100,000 (approximately £78,000). Despite such promising career prospects, Dr. Sun’s life took a turn following the dissolution of his four-year marriage and an unsuccessful attempt to return to China, hindered by U.S. restrictions on Chinese talent at the time.
Dr. Sun’s marriage to a Chinese woman he met in New York, who later divorced him after securing a U.S. green card, dealt a significant blow to his well-being. The subsequent emotional turmoil led to difficulties in maintaining normal work and social interactions, exacerbated by auditory hallucinations that blurred the lines between reality and delusion. This gradual decline culminated in his homelessness beginning in 2007.
Despite his current status as a U.S. citizen, Dr. Sun, who still experiences occasional hallucinations, has not sought refuge in government shelters, attributing his decision to the distance from his current location. His aspirations for a dignified life remain, though he candidly admits to struggling with impractical expectations and pervasive delusions, factors that have impeded his reentry into the workforce.
The case has sparked a robust online debate, with netizens speculating on the reasons behind Dr. Sun’s predicament. Some suggest the high cost of living in New York may have been a contributing factor, while others question his English proficiency, despite his extensive education and work experience in the United States. However, professionals in software development have noted that programming jobs often do not demand high levels of verbal English communication, suggesting that Dr. Sun’s communication struggles could be attributed more to his mental health issues.
In response to the publicised plight of Dr. Sun, local Fudan alumni in New York have mobilised volunteer efforts, while his family, now aware of his situation, has appealed for privacy. A relative of Dr. Sun has denounced much of the online discourse as inaccurate, and discussions are underway with the alumni association to coordinate support.
Childhood classmates, including one Mr. Liu, recall Dr. Sun as a bright, athletic, and academically gifted individual, revered by teachers as a ‘legend’ for over a decade. The revelation of his current situation has elicited a poignant response from those who knew him in his formative years.
Dr. Sun’s academic contributions, once documented on Google Scholar, include over thirty English-language papers published between 1992 and 1999, with several featured in the ‘Physical Review’ journal series, renowned for its association with Nobel Prize-winning physics research.
On Friday, the Fudan University Alumni Association of America (New York) confirmed that Mr. Sun is indeed an alumnus of Fudan University and that local Fudan alumni in New York have organized volunteer actions on their own initiative. Insiders have revealed that Mr. Sun’s family is now aware of his situation but wishes not to be disturbed. A relative of Mr. Sun has stated that much of the information online is “untrue,” and communication has been established between family friends and the Fudan University Alumni Association to discuss how best to assist him.
Moreover, Mr. Liu, who was a classmate of Mr. Sun’s during elementary and junior high school, mentioned that Sun used to be outgoing, sporty, and excelled academically, being referred to as a “legend” by school teachers for more than a decade. It is profoundly disheartening for him and others to see, decades later, their former classmate in videos living on the streets of America.
According to the Google Scholar platform, Mr. Sun graduated from the City University of New York in 1997, with Carl M. Shakin as his thesis advisor. He published over thirty papers in English between 1992 and 1999. Several of these papers appeared in the “Physical Review” journal series of Nuclear Physics SCI journals, which is established by the American Physical Society (APS) and considered to be the series publishing the most Nobel Prize-winning physics papers in the world.
