26-year-old Yi Qiwei is a “third-generation red” who comes from a line of communist elites.

. "There was no place for the children to sleep, it was super cold. They had no food at all and they were very helpless. Most of them can’t speak English or Polish. Many children are the same age as my daughter, which makes me sad. We provide them with food and water as much as possible.”

Yi, a U.S. national born in China, also assisted some of the refugees financially. He reportedly helped them stay in hotels since Poland does not accept their Ukrainian currency and cards. A descendant of a Manchu royal bannerman, Yi was reportedly born to be a successor to his maternal grandfather, who was a high-ranking official in the Chinese Community Party . He was dubbed by Chinese media as “China’s most talented young writer” after publishing his first novel, “Redemption,” in 2011 when he was just 14 years old.

Yi became a vocal dissident of the CCP following the death of his father, a former state-run banking executive, in 2016. Yi claimed that his father was jailed during President Xi Jinping’s crackdown on corruption. The volunteer fighter believes that Chinese propaganda supporting Russia promotes the idea that “national interests are above everything else.”If this happened to them, they would not say such things,” Yi said, referring to Chinese who support Russia. “There is no so-called ‘national interest.’ What the people want is very simple — to live in peace and stability.”The people can only develop the country’s economy if they are alive,” he added.
