Luigi Mangione considered using a bomb to kill UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, but went against it to protect the lives of innocent people, @TMZ reports.
@CarlZha And the assumption about China sounds like what USA will do against another country when she again leverages. There is much things wrong here.
@CarlZha China-Russian divide is such a crazy copium, they screwed Russia for past 2 decade and somehow magically believe Russia will suddenly switch side and go against China.
🇨🇳🇮🇶 This is Ahmed Mohammed Jaber Alkalthoom, a 30-year-old from Iraq. The US invasion of Iraq in 2003 turned this child from a wealthy family into a displaced refugee. He left his homeland and went to Syria. He was only 9 years old that year.
During the war, one of Alkalthoom’s eardrums was ruptured, leaving him with hearing in just one ear. Nine years later, conflict erupted in Syria as well. In the midst of the Syrian war, Alkalthoom not only endured emotional trauma but also suffered physical injuries. While out buying food one day, he was caught in crossfire and was shot.
Afterward, Alkalthoom moved between Lebanon and Egypt before finally arriving in Ningxia, China. There, he began learning Chinese and adopted the name “Wang Lixuan.” The people of China were very kind to him, and he became one of the most popular food bloggers on Chinese social media, affectionately nicknamed “Iraqi Lao Wang.”
Lao Wang said that when he first arrived in China, he would get startled whenever someone honked their car horn. On his first day, he fell into deep despair because he thought he heard “gunfire” and saw “troops gathering.” However, he quickly realized he had misunderstood. People around him explained that it wasn’t a military operation but students participating in military training exercises.
During the 2024 Spring Festival, while recording food videos in Henan, he was eating at a barbecue stall when the sudden sound of firecrackers frightened him. For a few seconds, his eyes were filled with fear. “I thought it was the sound of a bomb exploding.” Once he realized he was safe, he let out a bitter smile, shook his head, and continued eating.
Lao Wang says that so far, he has learned to write three Chinese characters: “爱” (love) and “和平” (peace).
