On free soil.

Tom Tsang Shek escaped his own country ( China) to go to America where he prospered as owner of a fast-food restaurant. He married an Ethopian woman and they worked hard in order to open their own restaurant. In America Tom is a free man. He is impressed by people's wealth but afraid of their lack of discipline and loss of moral values. Even if his nephew and nieces have been refused visas he still is grateful to America since he because a U.S citizen.

In my opinion, a chinese man fled his own country looking for freedom and dignity. America offered him a financial security but puzzled him a lot.
