87-year-old San Francisco resident moving back to China after being victim of multiple violent assaults​

An elderly Chinese man living in San Francisco decided he’s moving back to China after experiencing firsthand the city’s rising violent crime.

Rongxin Liao, 87, is taking a flight to Guangzhou, China, on Saturday to live out the rest of his life there, his son Jing Liao told The San Francisco Standard this week.

His son relayed to the outlet that his father finds it "too dangerous here." In Cantonese, Liao added, "Public safety situation in San Francisco has become worse and worse."

According to the family, their father is going back to live with one of his other sons who currently resides in China.

The elderly man has been the victim of multiple assaults while living in the city in the last few years.

In 2020, Liao was jump-kicked out of his walker onto the street by an assailant while waiting for a bus in San Francisco. Following the attack, Liao appeared in court several times to urge a harsher punishment for his assailant.

Surveillance footage capturing the assault was used in a viral ad calling for the recall of then-San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin, who was eventually recalled due his soft-on-crime policies that the ad said contributed to a 567% rise in anti-Asian hate crimes.

Liao’s grandson Jack was also featured in the 2022 ad, recounting the incident.

"My grandpa was sitting, waiting for the bus, when a man brutally attacked him," he said. "After this vicious attack, the District Attorney’s office let the man who attacked our [grandpa] walk free."

The rest of the ad featured anecdotes from other Asian families who had loved ones who had been attacked in the city.

That was not the only attack Liao suffered in San Francisco. His son revealed to outlet Sing Tao Daily that he was punched in an unprovoked attack last October while he was on his way to buy medication at Walgreens.

The San Francisco Standard reported that a police report from that date showed that "an 86-year-old Asian male matching Liao’s description was the victim of an unprovoked attack in which the suspect punched him. He was transported to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries."

The elderly man told Sing Tao Daily that his attacker punched him multiple times, getting his blood everywhere.

Liao, who has lived in San Francisco for 24 years, added that he was also beaten unconscious in the city around seven years ago.

"I don’t want to be a drag to my son here," Liao told the outlet, adding, "I don’t want him to worry about me all the time."

San Francisco city officials did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.

Hate Crime Victims Most Often Targeted For Race or Ethnicity​

HATE CRIMES​

by Katharina Buchholz,
Jan 26, 2024

Based on a new reporting system, the Federal Bureau of Investigations has calculated an increase in hate crimes in the U.S. between 2021 and 2022. Considering all reporting law enforcement agencies in 2022, the FBI counted 11,613 hate crime incidents and 15,306 victims, up from 10,857 and 14,170, respectively, in 2021.

Looking at all 2022 victims, a majority of them were targeted due to their race or ethnicity, according to the report, with anti-Black crime being the most common offense comprising 29 percent of hate crimes by bias. Religion was the next biggest factor, with roughly 17 percent being victimized because of it - slightly more than for reasons of sexual orientation (16.8 percent). Here, anti-Jewish and anti-gay hate crimes were the most common. The report concludes that 32 percent of hate crimes were against property, most commonly vandalism or other damage. 66 percent of crimes were directed towards persons. The most frequently recorded type was intimidation, while at 3,179 and 1,603 incidents, simple and aggravated assault were also shockingly common.

In 2020, the FBI debuted its new crime reporting system which is able to capture more nuances - for example listing several and not just one offense per incident, the latter having led to hate crimes being undercounted in the past. However, in 2020, the system change led to many law enforcement agencies not reporting figures at all, creating limited comparability between the 2020 and 2021 gross counts (as well as with the previous years due to the changes in reporting detail).
