I felt sad when I had to say I live "temporarily" here in Uppsala, Sweden. But it's also accurate. My safe-ish, happy-ish, free-ish-from-anxiety life is temporary. They always find their way to hunt me down, shut me back into that old cold dark permanent place of hopelessness.

I'm sorry to hear this. Another Uyghur friend told me the same thing happened to him a week or two ago. Then the police officer responsible for his family added him on WeChat. An unending cycle of violent paternalism.
