Veteran movie mogul Tiffany Chen Ming-Yin, wife of Hong Kong producer Charles Heung, has gone viral on mainland Chinese social media with a scathing video warning against immigrating to the United States, branding it chaotic, unsafe, and discriminatory while vowing to disinherit any grandchild who studies there.
In the clip posted to Xiaohongshu under the stark title “Never Immigrate to the Beautiful Country—The Price You Pay Is Unimaginable,” Chen, who has filmed in America since the late 1980s, painted a grim picture of streets overrun by addicts, armed vagrants, and beggars in cities like San Francisco, Los Angeles, and New York.
She described entire districts as no-go zones and claimed business contacts now insist she fly to them rather than meet locally.
Chen declared the country devoid of the freedom it once promised, insisting she never pursued citizenship despite easy opportunities decades ago because of perceived bias against people like her.
She issued an ironclad family edict—no child or grandchild may settle in the U.S. or even attend university there, threatening to donate her fortune to charity if anyone defies the rule.
The outspoken rant, rare for its direct attack on a longtime immigrant dream destination, quickly spread across Chinese platforms, amplifying Chen’s long-standing pattern of candid lifestyle commentary.
