Chang Hsueh's definition of "a good man"

I am off to get a gift before joining a party celebrating Phandeluys getting her certifications earlier this week; then evening classes at the studio for the pre-competition critique and practice sessions for American Rhythm and International Standard, Silver Syllabi.

Below is a snippet from Phandeluys's e-journals from which I had been reading off-and-on between interacting with her one-on-one.


What is the standard by which you evaluate a potential life partner?


Chang Hsueh's summary of a good man: He is a good man if he willingly goes out to work and brings home the money to cover the basic necessities.


My Asian almond eyes must have shown a mixture of intense sadness and hatred, staring at my mother-in-law.


As if I was buying a water buffalo to till borrowed land from a village landlord instead of marrying a partner for life. Indeed, what more can I possibly ask for, she told me. Beyond food, clothing, shelter, and transportation? Since we are talking about the basics on the physical level, let us add emergency savings and paying all the bills, including debts …


Requesting a road-map for the five planes of living is probably beyond both my husband's and my mother-in-law's mental comprehension and planning capacity, but a life-long strategy that provides a compass-point toward which one marches for present stability and future prosperity is a basic skill I was raised to expect of a functioning adult. Failing that, there is no point in donning dress-up clothes and playing house.


Knowing my mother-in-law's criteria for what she considers a good man, I am releasing myself from the daily and fruitless struggles of wrestling him away from his total lack of honor, responsibility, morals, and values … Best to redirect that energy into self-respect and self-care instead of wasting my time playing armchair psychologist.


Now, I understand why she thought she was modelling good mothering principles and behaviors when she stood outside our closed master bedroom door every morning, yelling out his name, like a rooster crowing at the break of dawn, to wake him up for work. She thought she was doing her duties as his mother; I was thinking how this bitch failed both herself and him as his mother. All I wanted was to shout at her to shut the fuck up and that she has done enough damage.


I married thinking we were all adults. I was wrong.


There is little future in my life as it stands … nor should I grieve … my son's emotional, psychological, mental, and physical happiness, well-being, and freedom away from that family and their influence is what I must focus on.


Stay tune, and until next post, 

We dream | We believe | And we will succeed 

About this blog 

Excepting this introduction and what are—and will be—posted after March 2015, this blog mirrored a now out-of-commission blog, http://ya-chang-lin.blogspot.com, which was taken down on October 21, 2013 by its author Phandeluys Truong. 

The author's original contents and supporting documents were captured by multiple means from the above-mentioned blog while it was alive and active. There may have been a glitch here and there that prevented me from downloading the complete blog as it had existed. Thus, readers familiar with the original blog may find a few missing posts and/or comments. Those postings that I was able to grab and preserve in their entirety are reposted here under my name, however, all rights remain that of the original author. 

This series of posts documents the fraudulent, sometimes criminal, and frequent unethical/immoral activities of Ya-Chang Robert Lin, a Taiwanese native of mainland Chinese parentage, who defrauded a naturalized US citizen, Phandeluys Truong, into a marriage that had been his shield against USCIS for his intentional violations of immigration law: 

as a nonimmigrant F-1 student, he had willfully operated an international students recruiting business without prior work authorization from the then United States Immigration and Naturalization Service; 

as President of said business, he had knowingly helped both mainland Chinese and Taiwanese students to evade military drafts in their countries by facilitating their applications to study in the US and abroad; 

as President of said business, he had knowingly helped both mainland Chinese and Taiwanese students looking to enter the United States with the intention of gaining permanent US resident status under the pretense of studying; 

as President of said business, he had purposely evaded paying taxes on the commissions received from it and failed to report the earned income to the IRS by having the payments wired back to Taiwan to his mother Chang Hsueh; 

he had applied for reinstatement of his F-1 or student status and a change of status, while knowingly withheld the preceding facts on his own applications for permanent resident and citizenship in the United States. 

And those are just the tip of the iceberg.
 

Ya-Chang Robert Lin had been employed at AAFES or The Exchange headquarter in Dallas, Texas as an information technology auditor, where he managed to steal—by downloading to CDs that he kept in his personal possession while abiding for time and opportunities to "do business" in Taiwan and/or China—thousands of his colleagues’ Social Security numbers and personnel files while working on one of its HR projects. The HR data on one of these projects became the basis for an academic paper, speaking proposal for ISACA, and a consulting business he was "collaborating with " [more like conning other people into developing and fronting for him]. 

Ya-Chang Robert Lin is a reprobate with a seared conscience. Lacking normal capacity for empathy, remorse, and reciprocation of good will, he is addicted to lying, cheating, and stealing for the pure pleasures derived from being able to get away with it. Because he is such a good liar—so charming and well versed in manipulation techniques and acting skills—it is hard to distinguish him from reprobates. 

Ya-Chang Robert Lin was able to dupe some of the smart people in federal government [AAFES or The Exchange, USCIS, ICE, and DHS], higher education [Fort Hays State University and Navarro College], and information technology auditing and security [ISACA and ACFE]. Among his legacy: A son who refused any connection with him and wished that he were dead.
