Summary

China was governed by the Communist Party of China in the late 1990s, a regime that had held power since 1949. Consequently, a significant number of Chinese citizens emigrated from the country, with some choosing to settle in the United States. Among them were Ming Ming Chen and Liang Zhao, who arrived in Ohio and established their own restaurant. In 2017, however, tragedy struck, when a phone call came in to police from their restaurant.
