Captain Zhang of the third team of customs introduced that on the first day of the Spring Festival, the inbound hall was crowded with Chinese citizens returning from studying and working abroad. Everyone was smiling except for a 30-year-old man who looked worried and frowned.
"When he handed over his documents, he didn't dare to look at the police officer. We had noticed him earlier," Captain Zhang said. Indeed, the police found that the photo on the passport was not him. Li Mou, who was taken to the review room, admitted the truth with red eyes: "I used someone else's ID. I missed home so much and wanted to spend the Spring Festival with my family."
Li Mou, 32 years old and from Shandong Province, has a 70-year-old mother and two children. Li Mou said that due to poverty, his wife divorced him five years ago. Afterwards, he borrowed tens of thousands of yuan and asked someone to help him go abroad to work illegally. Although he earned some money, he felt physically and mentally exhausted and increasingly homesick.
"In order to save money, I haven't returned home for several years. This year, I was determined to go home for the New Year," Li Mou said. Since he couldn't return home without documents after illegal immigration, fellow townspeople working with him encouraged him to "try" using someone else's ID. Li Mou found an ID of someone who looked like him and even cut his hair in the same style as the ID holder. However, he was caught at the Capital Airport when entering the country.
It is understood that as of this morning, during the first three days of the Dragon Year Spring Festival, the Beijing Border Inspection Station only captured one illegal immigrant. Last year, on New Year's Eve alone, they captured two illegal immigrants.
