I wouldnt say brave... but he is going to have a difficult life ahead though

I was referring to brave who came to a foreign nation to better himself.
It's not easy I'm sure to just go to a new country, one you have no idea of the culture and language.
Also, brave for holding his composure and enduring the countless operations he went through. (you must have had a major operation to understand)
When they put you under... there is always a chance you don't wake up.
