As it says in the title, I’m looking for someone to be my son’s paper father. My husband and I are hoping to one day go to the United States, but we currently don’t fall under any of the exempt categories that would allow us to gain admission under the restrictive immigration policies. Instead, we’re hoping to purchase citizenship for our son so that he may go in our stead. My son is well educated and has a good memory. He can help run a business when he lands if needed.

It sounded much better than the limited opportunities back in Guangzhou after the Hakka took up residence on our land. Anything at the time sounded better than trying to make a living in a war-torn area. The Hakka-bendi war went on for far too
