In plain English

This repository is a community-maintained knowledge base written primarily in Chinese, dedicated to the concept of "Run-Xue", loosely translated as the philosophy and methodology of emigrating from China to live abroad. The word "run" in Chinese internet slang means to leave or emigrate, drawn from the phonetic similarity to the English word "run." The project frames emigration as a fundamental human right and organizes practical knowledge around three questions: why leave, where to go, and how to do it. The repository is not a software project, it contains no source code. Instead, it is a structured collection of Markdown documents contributed by community members who share their real-life emigration experiences. Contributions are organized into categories covering philosophical arguments for emigration, country-by-country guides comparing destinations including the United States, Australia, Japan, and others, and practical case studies from people who have successfully emigrated. Topics covered include visa categories such as H-1B, EB-1A, EB-5, and NIW in the United States context, passport acquisition, and immigration for people with various professional backgrounds including software engineers, academics, and non-technical workers. You would use this repository if you are a Chinese speaker researching emigration options and want real community experiences and practical guidance rather than official government documentation. Contributions are accepted anonymously via GitHub pull requests. The content is licensed under Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0, and the repository has no primary programming language since it is entirely documentation.
