2022年11月18日，中国驻芝加哥总领馆发文感谢美国典当店老板

在5000多字的文章《穿越风暴》中，埃文提及自己去年住院时，每天都有很多的中国记者和网民联系他，确认他是否安好，这对他的帮助几乎不亚于药物治疗。

I ended up in the hospital in the past year, and Chinese journalists and netizens were contacting me daily to make sure I was okay. It was a very curious thing, but it helped me recover almost as fast as the medical care I received. 

在文章的最后，埃文引用了总领事去年给他感谢信中的一句话—— “历史是当今社会的一面镜子，你的捐赠将激励世人以善良之心维护和平”。

I find myself staring at that letter when feeling down and it reminds me I weathered a storm for good reason. If I had to do it all over again, I wouldn't do anything differently.
