My comment:
(a) In this story, China is a mere backdrop, but United States is the main character. Many things can be learned from this story.
(b) Humanitarian Parole. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), Department of Homeland Security.

(c)
(i) The first name of Mr. Karolys indicates he is Hispanic: "Rodrigo" is the Spanish form of "Roderick."
(ii) "Lenora" is shortened from "Leonora," which is in turn shortened from "Eleonora." "Eleonora" is the Italian form of "Eleanor" which is then derived from "Helen."
