"Suspect Charged In East Village Attack That Killed Man, 68
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) A suspect was charged Tuesday in the beating death of a 68-year-old man in the East Village.
Jamie Pugh, 20, was charged with second-degree murder, attempted robbery and assault in the attack last week, police said....Pugh approaching Hui and speaking briefly to him, before throwing him against a wall. Afterward, the grandfather is repeatedly punched and stomped on.
Hui was taken to Bellevue Hospital, where he died of his injuries the next day.
Pugh, who lives in the public housing development a block away from the beating...."

Hui didn't speak English....and the original stories did not suggest robbery.
1. " ...the Fujianese work like dogs, as do Chinese immigrants generally. In New York City, the Chinese are more likely than any other ethnic group to live in dual-earning households. ... women typically sewed in garment-factory sweatshops....clean hotel rooms or take care of the elderly.
2. Men typically bus tables and wash dishes in restaurants. Their hours are brutal: ten hours or more a day, six and often seven days a week. Theyre less likely than unskilled native-born Americans to be unemployed.
a. If they cant find work in New York, they commute elsewhere. The Chinese restaurant labor market is an interstate business....Restaurant owners in the South and Midwest advertise in employment offices in Manhattans Chinatown...Local Chinese entrepreneurs run bus companies that transport waiters and chefs to weeklong gigs in Tampa or Chicago, and then back for a single night with their families in Brooklyn.
3. Lacking English skills and fearful of deportation, these workers often endure terrible treatment. ... But the Fujianese arent likely to complain. ....in China, they could expect an annual income of $500 to $750; the lucky ones working a factory job might make $1,500 a year. In the U.S., a busboy can earn $1,500 a month, plus room and board; a chef, maybe $2,500 a month.... with smugglers to repay and families back home in dire need, parents see no choice but to work ferocious hours.
4. ....what happens to the famous Chinese family values? ....In fact, the Fujianese immigrants dont have a family life, or at least not one that middle-class Americans would recognize. I never saw my parents, Mandy Wong told me. Wong graduated from Brooklyn Tech High School and is now a junior at Hamilton College. Her parents worked from 10 AM to 1 AM. ..... She had many chores, and by third grade, she was serving as primary caretaker for her younger brothers. She had few friendsnot because she was unlikable but because friends were deemed an unnecessary waste of time..... I was considered one of the lucky ones, she says, because I had grandparents to take care of me and didnt have to spend all my time in the sweatshop. She was referring to the many poor Fujianese kids with nowhere to go after school but their mothers steaming workplaces. .... children sometimes get enlisted as reduced-fee or even free labor.
5. .... in general, the Sunset Park kids appear on track to achieve the upward mobility that some say is no longer possible in New Yorks bifurcated economy. An analysis by New York public radio station WNYC showed that Sunset Park and Borough Park zip codes had among the largest number of acceptances at the citys specialized, competitive high schools. .... its a safe bet that, unlike their parentsnot to mention their gender-studies-majoring peersthey wont be waiting tables."
