"You are not welcome home," hostile comments against overseas Chinese students who returned to the country during the coronavirus pandemic are spreading across the Chinese social media. They have been accused of bringing the virus into the country and occupying medical resources. I received a comment from a Chinese student studying abroad who said he felt isolated and helpless, especially after reading hostile comments online. Are overseas Chinese students really "virus smugglers"? Can the Chinese government help them? It is time to tell their story.
