Fourteen years ago, a tall, dark-skinned man emerged from China's Shenzhen airport. He came to Shenzhen, China alone, and thought he would only stay here for a while, maybe weeks or months.
But what he didn't expect was that he stayed here for more than ten years and married a girl from Henan.
And Liu Xuehua, who was married to this black man at that time, could not imagine that her husband was actually the brother of US President Barack Obama.
How did an ordinary Henan girl and Oba President Ma's brother, two people who seemed unable to beat eight rods, get acquainted and finally entered the marriage hall?
The President's younger brother
In 2008, Obama was elected president of the United States, becoming the first black president in The history of the United States.
Not to mention how much Obama has contributed to the development of the United States and the world, only from Obama's rise to power, this represents an important step in racial equality in the United States.
In 1960, Obama's father met a beautiful white woman in the United States, Obama's father fell in love with her at first sight, and the two soon fell in love, and soon after successfully married and gave birth to a child.
This kid is Obama. But this happy life did not last long, and the parents soon became at odds because of various contradictions in their lives, and finally divorced.
Obama's parents soon began their new lives after the divorce. My mother and stepfather took Obama to Jakarta, where he had a great time.
His biological father left the United States and returned to his native Kenya shortly after completing his studies in the United States. Here, Obama's father formed a new family and gave birth to a child, named Marco.
And this Marco is the black boy we mentioned at the beginning, and finally married Liu Xuehua, a henan girl.
Marco and Obama are half-brothers, but Marco is not as lucky as Obama. Unlike his brother's happy life, Marco was always scolded by his father for various small things, so Marco always wanted to leave the house.
In October 1982, Due to an unexpected car accident, Marco's father died, and Marco was freed from his father's oppression.
While feeling sad, Marco was even more relieved. After the death of his father, Marco was reluctant to remain in Kenya. With the support of his mother, Marco left home to study at Brown University in the United States.
After coming to the United States, Ma saw his half-brother Obama. Although the two brothers have not seen each other for many years, there is a family relationship between the two that is thicker than water, which makes the two get along very happily.
When Marco was studying at university, he would keep in touch with his brother no matter how busy he was, and the relationship between the two brothers became closer and closer.
After successfully graduating from Brown University, Marco was admitted to Stanford University in the United States with his excellent grades and continued his further studies.
The elder brother Obama began to develop into the American political arena, and the two brothers had their own directions. After completing his studies, Marco worked for a number of companies. I thought this kind of stable life would last, but under the blow of the economic crisis in 2008, Marco lost his job.
2. Travel to China
In fact, after the shocking "911" incident, Marco became suspicious of the current state of life in the United States, coupled with his often racially discriminatory past, when the global economic crisis broke out, Marco finally made up his mind to change the country to live.
In college, Marco also met many kind Chinese classmates, so Marco packed his bags and came to China alone.
China's green mountains and rivers, all kinds of beautiful scenery are countless, Marco came to China and was attracted by various scenic spots. While learning Chinese characters and Chinese knowledge, he traveled the country.
In the end, Marco, who originally wanted to relax in China, decided to stay in China. After many considerations, Marco set its sights on Shenzhen, which was developing rapidly at the time.
Marco's high education also played a role, and he quickly found a good job and rented a house nearby. Sometimes Marco would go out of the house and walk around the street without going to work.
While shopping, Marco inadvertently saw a woman. The woman's jet-black hair and eyes that seemed to speak immediately attracted Marco's attention.
This woman is the person who marco will destined for the rest of her life- Liu Xuehua. Ma saw that Liu Xuehua immediately came forward to exchange contact information with her, the two often chatted, and Marco's funny humor also made Liu Xuehua feel moved.
Coming and going, the relationship between the two became closer and closer. Soon, Liu Xuehua agreed to Marco's pursuit, and the two established a relationship.
3. Settle in China
After his relationship with Liu Xuehua gradually stabilized, Liu Xuehua offered to take Marco home to meet his parents. But after returning to his hometown in Henan and meeting his girlfriend's parents, Marco still felt lost.
When parents saw that their daughter's boyfriend was actually a foreigner, they expressed extremely strong opposition. After all, the gap between nationality and race between the two people is an obstacle that cannot be crossed.
Liu Xuehua's parents are very worried that their daughter will be deceived and hurt later in life. Just when Marco was also uneasy about this, Liu Xuehua rebelled against her parents and firmly chose her lover.
And her trust also deeply touched Marco. He told Liu Xuehua's parents that he would settle in China and accompany Liu Xuehua forever.
Gradually, Liu Xuehua's parents no longer strongly opposed, and finally agreed to this family affair. Marco and Liu Xuehua entered the palace of marriage as they wished. Since most of Marco's relatives were in Kenya, he could not come to distant China to send them blessings.
Marco also sent an invitation to his brother in the United States, but Obama was concentrating on political affairs at the time, so he only sent Marco a wedding blessing.
In 2009, on the first anniversary of Marco and Liu Xuehua's marriage, suddenly one day, Marco said that he wanted to introduce his brother to his wife.
So the couple got on a plane and came to the other side of the ocean. When he saw this brother, Liu Xuehua was surprised to find that her husband was actually Obama's brother!
Obama sent elaborate wedding gifts to his brother and sister-in-law, and the couple stayed in the United States for more than ten days.
Originally, Liu Xuehua was worried that the president's brother would not get along, but unexpectedly, Obama was very warm and kind. After a happy time, Marco returned to China with his wife.
Today, Marco has lived in China for nineteen years, and his life with Liu Xuehua is very happy. Marco started his own tech company, and on his days when he wasn't working, he would do charity with his wife.
Influenced by his wife, who loves calligraphy, Marco can now write a good cursive hand.
4. Summary
Although there is a gap in skin color and nationality between Marco and Liu Xuehua, two people who truly love each other will not be affected by any factors.
Even if they were not affirmed, the two held each other's hands tightly. Now more than a decade later, the couple has proved to people the deep feelings between them, and more and more people have sent their blessings to them.
