November 26th 2021: GuiYing Ma, was sweeping the side of her Jackson Heights apartment in Queens and she was suddenly struck by a man in her head repeatedly with a rock. Her husband Zhanxin Gao was visited by the NYPD and he was devastated to discover that his wife suffered severe damage to her head. Zhanxin was at work when heard that GuiYing’s condition unexpectedly turned for the worse. After fighting for several weeks in a coma, their 40 years of marriage was cut short. Zhanxin was left with grief. He is now taking his beloved GuiYing’s ashes back to Liaoning, China - he felt that staying in America was purposeless and he is prioritizing being around his supportive grandchildren. Data compiled by the Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism states that anti-AAPI hate crime went up 339% nationally last year. Reports on race and gender based reporting have increased, but beyond the statistics we can't measure what Zhanxin is currently feeling.
