The safety guide for China girls studying in the United States is actually hidden in these films.
Special feature of 1905 film network Everyone has the right to pursue their dreams. On the way to pursue their dreams, they will meet different scenery and different people.
However, a piece of news that has occupied all major pages recently has made us wonder: What is the most important thing on the road of chasing dreams?
As you have guessed, what I want to talk about today is the kidnapping and murder of YINGYING ZHANG, a master of Peking University who went to the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign for exchange and study.
Before this vicious incident, this famous American university was the dream place of many China students and the American university with the largest number of foreign students in China.

For example, the well-known director Ang Lee graduated from the drama department of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign with a bachelor’s degree, and his wife, Lin Huijia, has a doctorate in microbiology.
Ang Lee (first from right) graduated from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 1980.
On the way of chasing dreams, especially for the overseas students who have just gone abroad, they may feel that kidnapping and perverting are far away from themselves, and they think that it will only happen in movies, but movies come from life, and many of these movies are based on real people.
Like a movie played by Yimei, it tells the story of a schizophrenic kidnapping three girls, which is based on a documentary novel.
Also based on the novel, it tells the story of a girl who was imprisoned in the basement looking for a chance to escape.
Of course, there is Brie Larson’s masterpiece, which is also based on the novel, and tells the story of a girl who was cheated by her neighbor and then imprisoned in a small room for seven years.
There is also a movie in which Hugh plays the villain for the first time, which is also based on a real kidnapping case in the United States in 2014, and tells the story of a China girl who returned to her family after being kidnapped in the United States for 12 years.
Let’s take the film "Split" as an example: three girls were kidnapped, and finally only one girl managed to escape — — The protagonist sister successfully escaped, in addition to the protagonist’s aura, but also calm and smart enough to know how to save herself in dangerous situations.
For example, if you want to play hardball, it’s definitely impossible. Whether it’s size or strength, the kidnappers must be taller than us. I don’t know how many orders of magnitude, so we must outwit them!
Since we want to outsmart ourselves, we should first calm down, analyze the surrounding environment and see what is good for us to escape, or try to be friends with the kidnappers like the heroine in Split, win their trust, and finally find an opportunity to escape.
Of course, this requirement for skill points is relatively high, so I suggest you do what you can … …
Although we can learn from the escape methods in movies, the best thing is to put an end to the danger and not give criminals a chance to fundamentally ensure their own safety.
Here it is, I will share some tips with my friends who are studying in the United States or are about to study in the United States. I hope everyone can be vigilant when studying in a foreign country. It is the best policy to be careful when you are a stranger abroad ~
First, about renting a house
Foreign universities don’t have fixed dormitories like domestic ones, so their security will be greatly reduced. When renting a house, the most important thing to consider is the surrounding security situation. As we all know, the distinction between the poor and the rich in the United States is quite obvious. Don’t put yourself in danger for the attractive rent!
If we can have several roommates walking together like Mia in the movie, the safety factor will be greatly improved!
Second, about public transportation
As a country on wheels, almost every household in the United States has a car, so who will take the bus? It’s nothing more than people who can’t afford a car, or whose driver’s license has been revoked. Moreover, in many parts of the United States, bus stations and subway stations have heating facilities, so there are also many homeless people, surrounded by such people. How high can the safety factor be?
In the movie starring Denzel Hayes Washington Jr., the kidnapper played by john Travolta hijacked the new york subway.
Third, about the campus
After all, many universities in the United States are open to the society, and the security will definitely be greatly reduced. In the dead of night, don’t let yourself fly on campus at will. If it is too late, you can ask the school police to take you home.
As Asians, especially China people, have become representatives of rich people abroad, when we go out, we should not take too much cash with us, but we should swipe our cards if we can, but we should not take a few tens of dollars with us. In case of robbery, giving him a few tens of dollars may save our lives!
Directed by gus van sant, the American film about the vicious shooting on campus is based on the shooting at Columbine Middle School in Denver, USA in 1999.
Fourth, about asking for help
If you really encounter an emergency or are intimidated and can’t call the police or ask for help, you can also try to call 911, ring twice and hang up. You can repeat it several times if the opportunity permits. Generally, the police patrolling nearby will rush to the scene to check the alarm phone that is connected and hung up like this according to the positioning information.
The movie starring "Team America" tells the story of how to trace the real murderer behind the scenes while keeping the phone connected.
Well, these are the tips for overseas students to study abroad safely. On the way to chasing dreams, dreams are important, but your own life is the most important!
Cherish life and stay away from danger; I wish you peace when studying abroad!
