Emmy, a Chinese mother in Sydney, never thought that she would be subjected to racial abuse on a sunny afternoon like this, when she was shopping happily in Huachao with her children.
More difficult for her to accept, the other side is a black-haired "compatriots", the Sino-British mixed dialogue, Mandarin is extremely standard.
"she pointed to my nose and scolded, `Chinese! Go away! Leave Australia!`
Suspected that the Chinese mother was reviled because the aisle was too narrow
This afternoon, Chinese mother Emmy and her children were shopping at the Westfield supermarket in Penrith district. Because of the narrow aisle, when she hesitated to choose by the seasoning shelf, she felt someone behind her.
Looking back, it was an older, Chinese-faced middle-aged woman.
"she was going to go, without opening her mouth, pointing at me with her finger, and swinging to the side."
Emmy then pulled over her shopping cart and moved her out of the aisle.
"I told her I was going to get something here, and there should be enough space."

Unexpectedly, the woman was sullen, and then suddenly burst into anger and began to accuse Emmy. out loud
"she said you`d better get out of here! My mouth also began to scold me, originally speaking pure mandarin. "
According to Emmy, "next came the mixed Chinese-English scolding, `Chinese! Go away! Leave Australia!`
It was beyond her imagination to encounter sudden abuse, and Emmy, who led the child, froze.
"at first she didn`t even say she wanted me to make way, but she swung at me with a finger."
Emmy said, "I feel very cocky."
The more the boss of Hua Chao complained about the other party, the more difficult it became to listen to him.
Emmy and his children found the owner of the Liquor supermarket, hoping the store would take control of the situation.
"I told the boss that this man was too much. How could he be so abusive?"
However, Emmy`s move seems to have angered the middle-aged woman even more.
"she rushed to me again and shouted in mandarin, `you have reason! You`re in my way!`"
After Emmy explained that he had given up enough space to pass, the attitude of the other party was even worse.
"she said,`it`s my business to pass, and when you`re done, you`ll be gone!`"
"I said I didn`t buy it, and I let you go. Why are you doing this?"
Emmy told reporters that since then the woman has been repeating the same words, "Chinese, go away!" Leave Australia and go back to your China! "

Finally, in the woman mixed with English and Chinese, the incessant verbal abuse, Emmy can not bear to begin to counter-attack.
"I questioned her, did she change her blood? `you think you`re Australian? Aren`t you Chinese, too?`
"she said,`So what?` It`s so speechless. "
Supermarket owner: "Yes, Emmy!" Do not care about the loss of such guests! "
After the incident, in order to avoid further deterioration, Liqun supermarket owners have also tried to mediate.
"the boss has been trying to persuade her to stop arguing for the boss`s sake."
However, the results proved to be minimal.
Later, in Penrith`s social app group, supermarket owners expressed their views.

"Today Emmy is really aggrieved and praised for the attitude and reaction of Emmy, which shows that Emmy is a brave and bloody person!"
The boss said, "We can`t tolerate anything with religion or racial discrimination happening in our shop, and we don`t care about losing such guests!" Do it again, Emmy! "
"I still can`t believe it."
Emmy told reporters she noticed that the woman was traveling with a white man, but that the man had been waiting in front of the supermarket before and after the incident and had not intervened or made any remarks.

"I`m really angry that most people in Australia can`t do this, but as a Chinese, she speaks a pure Mandarin, not a Hong Kong or a Taiwanese, and so insults her fellow countrymen."
"I`ve been living in Australia for the first time," Emmy said. "I still can`t believe I`m going to be publicly humiliated and racially insulted at a Chinese supermarket," he said. "I still can`t believe it`s true Mandarin-speaking Chinese!"
"how can we expect white people and mainstream society to respect each other in such a light manner?" she said. This is the most difficult place for me to accept today! "
By the time of the release, Emmy had decided to go to the police station to call the police.
"my child was there, and if I didn`t call the police, I`d be afraid she`d get away with it when she grew up."
