Leng Hongsheng, Victims of Hurricane Ida Flood

Like many people who came to the United States, Leng Hongsheng wanted to find freedom.

He was born in Northeast China during the Sino-Japanese War. After the Cultural Revolution and subsequent reform and opening up, he did not come to the United States until the 1990s.

It is believed that he used to be an engineer in China, but in New York, he made a living by picking up rubbish and collecting used goods, collecting plastic bottles and old appliances for recycling along the streets of Flushing, Queens every day.

Even so, he still lives happily. He also brought his family to the United States, received a green card, and determined to develop a better life in the United States.
