金鴻善賣掉公司，房子，車子及所有值錢的東西，帶着老婆和兩個孩子，經歐洲土爾其轉厄瓜多爾，從哥倫比亞走線，途徑巴拿馬，宏都拉斯墨西哥進入德州，後來被送到紐約。在法拉盛的勞工家庭協會會長萬延海的幫助下聯繫上他大哥金鴻尉。因為事先沒有告知，宏尉也很為難，幫他一家在紐瓦克租了個間房，是跟四戶無證客合租的，19個人共用一個衛生間，十分擁擠。同屋的委內瑞拉人麥克在街上瞎逛時，碰上一群人酒後打群架，他也參與其中，打得不亦樂乎，被警察抓住。兩月前麥克因為性騷擾和盜竊被逮過兩次，這是第三次。警察把麥克送到移民和海關執法局（ICE）。第二天ICE 過來把一屋子的人都帶走。金鴻善一家被直接帶到紐瓦克自由國際機場，送上聯合航空到上海的飛機。機上全是被遣返的中國人。登機前每人得發了三包康師傅方便麵和兩個蘋果幾點小吃。鴻善吃不下那方便麵，湯都吞不進。當空姐要他系好安全帶，準備起飛時，他完全崩潰了。想到自己身上一分錢都沒有，帶着老婆孩子，千辛萬苦，這麼冷的天，回到上海哪裡可以落腳啊！他頓時大哭起來，他的老婆孩子也狂哭。整個機艙的人都嚎啕大哭。飛機此時進入跑道，迅速起飛。乘客都後仰，不能出聲。當飛機平穩後，有人打開窗簾，看到紐約哈德遜河在皚皚的白雪中蜿蜒向南，與他們追求的夢想背道而馳，人們徹底瘋了。他們哭嚎着，湧向緊急出口，要打開那出口艙門。這把空姐嚇壞了。乘警也一點辦法都沒有。機長立即喊話：“請不要打開緊急出口門，打開了，大家都得死。我把你們安全送回紐約。”飛機立即調頭，在拉瓜迪亞機場降落。乘客全部被送到法拉盛。

     金鴻善聯繫了他的室友和走線的線友。黑人朋友找到了紐約的民權領袖，大家都意識到這不僅是華人的事情。於是聯繫民主黨紐約聯邦眾議員孟昭文，科爾特斯（Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez）等要員，還有LGBTQ等組織。眾領袖一致決定明天就舉行抗議遊行。從曼哈頓的125街，法拉盛面街或任何可以集聚20 人的地方出發，向着市政府，時代廣場，布魯克林大橋前進！起義的口號是：

     我是人，我們是人民!

     I am a Human Being. We are The People!

Uprising Tomorrow

Jin Hongshan sold his company, house, car and all valuables, took his wife and two children, by Turkey in Europe to Ecuador, went through Colombia, Panama, Honduras and Mexico to Texas, and was later sent to New York. With the help of Wan Yanhai, the president of the Labor Family Association in Flushing, he contacted his elder brother Jin Hongwei. Because he was not informed in advance, Hongwei was also in a difficult situation. He helped Hongshan’s family rent a room in Newark, which was shared with four undocumented families. 19 people shared a bathroom, which was very crowded. Mike, a Venezuelan who lived with him, was wandering around the street when he ran into a group of people fighting after drinking. He also joined in the fight and was caught by the police. Mike was arrested twice for sexual harassment and theft two months ago, and this was the third time. The police sent Mike to the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The next day, ICE came and took away everyone in the room. Jin Hongshan's family was taken directly to Newark Liberty International Airport and sent to a United Airlines flight to Shanghai. The plane was full of deported Chinese. Before boarding, each person was given three packs of Master Kong instant noodles and two apples as snacks. Hongshan could not eat the instant noodles, and couldn't even swallow the soup. When the stewardess asked him to fasten his seat belt and prepare for takeoff, he completely collapsed. He was wondering where his family could stay when they returned to Shanghai in such a cold weather as he did not have even a penny after he had gone through so much hardship with his wife and children! He burst into tears, and his wife and children also cried wildly. Everyone in the cabin was crying. The plane entered the runway at this time and took off quickly. The passengers leaned back and couldn't make a sound. When the plane stabilized, someone opened the curtains and saw the Hudson River in New York winding southward in the snow, which was contrary to the dream they pursued. People were completely crazy. They cried and rushed to the emergency exit to open the exit door. This scared the stewardess. The flight attendant was helpless. The captain immediately shouted: "Please don't open the emergency exit door. If you open it, everyone will die. I will take you back to New York safely." The plane immediately turned around and landed at LaGuardia Airport. All passengers were sent to Flushing.

Jin Hongshan contacted his roommate and his linemate. Black friends found civil rights leaders in New York, and everyone realized that this was not just a Chinese issue. So they contacted Democratic New York Congresswoman Grace Meng, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and other important figures, as well as LGBTQ organizations. The leaders unanimously decided to hold a protest march tomorrow. Starting from 125th Street in Manhattan, the Main streets of Flushing or any place where 20 people can gather, march towards City Hall, Times Square, and the Brooklyn Bridge! The slogan of the uprising is:

I am a Human Being! We are The People!
