When it comes to Africa, perhaps the first feeling in many people's minds is poverty and backwardness. More than thirty years ago, when transnational romance was not too common, a native Beijing girl, Yin Jie, married far away to Guinea-Bissau, Africa, for love.
Yin Jie graduated from Peking University and is a talented woman in people's eyes. At that time, her relatives and friends had a hard time understanding that with her excellent conditions, she could have found a better partner at home, but she ran to backward Africa.
When Yin Jie first arrived in Africa, she needed to adapt to a new culture and living customs. But while she was struggling to integrate into life in Africa, there was a civil war in Guinea. The weather was unpredictable, and the originally happy life suddenly came to an abrupt end due to the war.
In this way, Yin Jie had to be separated from her husband for two years. Yin Jie returned to China with her children, and for a long time she was unable to get in touch with her husband. Two years later, when Yin Jie saw her husband again, he was already a high-ranking official.
Peking University talented women and African guys
Ask what the worldly situation is, and teach people to live and die. Love seems to have no reason to speak of, it is an inner feeling, it can transcend life and death, and it can also transcend the boundaries of the region. In 1992, Yin Jie, a talented woman at Peking University, married far away from Africa for love.
The heroine of the story, Yin Jie, is an authentic Beijing girl, and from a young age, Yin Jie is a passionate, cheerful and lively girl. Her parents are ordinary workers, although there is no prominent family background, but Yin Jie grew up to be a confident and healthy girl. Yin Jie's academic performance has always been very good.
Yin Jie is the only daughter in the family, the pearl in the palm of her parents, and her parents love her very much and do their best to give her the best everything. Yin Jie is also very competitive, and in the college entrance examination, she was admitted to Peking University with her own strength.
There she chased her dreams, and there she also reaped her love. Yin Jie has strong social skills and excellent academic performance, and with her academic qualifications and abilities, she can find a good job and live a good life after graduation.
But after the appearance of the African boy Karintong, Yin Jie's life trajectory seems to have changed. Everything seemed to be an arrangement of fate, and at the gathering of friends, Yin Jie and Karinton met.
At that time, Yin Jie was a sophomore in college, and Karinton was seven years older than Yin Jie, who was from Guinea-Bissau, Africa, and studied in Beijing. Karinton fell in love with Yin Jie at first sight, and at the first sight of Yin Jie, he was deeply attracted by this enthusiastic girl.
Karinton did not want to suppress the emotions in his heart, and he launched a fierce love offensive against Yin Jie. The two exchanged contact information after the party, and Karinton, unlike the Chinese boy's reserved implications, took the initiative to be enthusiastic and boldly and directly expressed his love to Yin Jie.
At first, Yin Jie did not agree to the interaction with Kalinton, but the meticulous and patient nature of Kalin Tong, who was desperately pursuing, impressed Yin Jie. Yin Jie always agreed to associate with Karintong, and Kalinton was obedient and pampered to Yin Jie.
After graduating from Yin Jie University, she took her boyfriend Carlington to meet her parents for the first time. There is no doubt that the parents are not satisfied with Karinton, and their love is not supported by Yin Jie's parents.
Far away from Africa separated by war
At that time, Yin Jie's parents did not like their daughter's boyfriend, this African black boy Karintong, Yin Jie's parents even strongly opposed the two of them. The people around them also threw strange eyes at them.
Yin Jie had been fighting her parents for a long time, and in her heart, she had identified Within and did not want to be separated from him. In the end, Yin Jie's parents, out of helplessness, acquiesced to their feelings.
In 1990, Yin Jie and Karintong applied for a marriage license in Beijing. The two did not have a wedding banquet at that time and chose to travel to get married. After that, Yin Jie went to live in Africa with Karinton. In this way, Yin Jieyuan, a talented woman from Peking University, married into Africa.
Karinton's hometown is the small African country of Guinea-Bissau, one of the least developed countries recognized by the United Nations. Karinton's parents were both local government officials, but Guinea-Bissau as a whole lagged far behind China in terms of living standards.
When Yin Jie first arrived in a foreign country far away from home, her heart was also full of great uneasiness. Poverty and backwardness are Yin Jie's first impressions of there, and she can't even see a high-rise building.
But since Yin Jie had already chosen to follow Karintong to live here, he had to try to adapt to everything here. There are certain differences between guinean culture and Chinese culture, and Yin Jie feels many differences and is trying to adapt.
Yin Jie and Karinton also have many places in life that need to be slowly run-in, and the two have also had conflicts, but fortunately, the two can understand and tolerate each other. Yin Jie also opened a Chinese restaurant in Guinea.
Soon after, Yin Jie and Karinton's eldest daughter Nina was born, and the world of two became a family of three. The family's life was on track, but the good times were short-lived, and in 1998, guinea was hit by a serious civil war.
The war broke the originally stable life of Yin Jie's family. Karinton, who was already a member of Guinea's Parliament at the time, realized that danger was coming and that he had to send Yin Jie and his daughter away.
Yin Jie was reluctant to Kalinton, and she tearfully hoped that he would leave Guinea with them. But for the sake of His country, Karinton had to stay. But for the safety of Yin Jie and his daughter, he must be patient and let them leave.
Listening to the cannon fire in the city, Yin Jie and his daughter left Guinea. They returned to China and were separated from their husbands by the war.
Goodbye husband is already a high official
When civil war broke out in Guinea, Yin Jie left with his daughter Nina in tears. Neither she nor Karinton knew when the war would end. The difference between Yin Jie and her husband will not become a farewell.
Everything is unknown, but for the sake of his daughter, in order to get together again, Yin Jie can only live strongly. She and her daughter moved back to her parents' house in Beijing, and Yin Jie was a strong woman who had to find a way to support herself and her daughter.
Yin Jie relied on his craft to start selling box lunches at the school gate. Although it is very hard and the income is not very much, it is enough for her and her daughter to live. Time passed like water, and in the blink of an eye, Yin Jie's separation from her husband had been two years.
During these two years, Yin Jie could not contact her husband, and there was little news about the political situation in Guinea at that time. His parents also persuaded Yin Jie to start a new married life. But Yin Jie could not let go of The Carlington.
Yin Jie did not know whether her husband was still alive, she did not know whether her husband had forgotten her and her daughter. Yin Jie often thinks wildly, and she is very confused about the future. And people are fearful, and people around them will always talk about Yin Jie behind their backs.
In 2000, late one night, Yin Jie suddenly received a phone call, she said a hello in a confused way, and the other end of the phone was a voice that she was familiar with, it was Karintong.
Yin Jie tearfully complained to Kalinton about why it took two years to give her news. Karinton called Yin Jie this time to tell her that the civil war was completely over and that he had been transferred to Beijing as Guinea's ambassador to China.
Yin Jie was so excited that he couldn't speak for a while. After two years of arduous waiting, I finally got a family reunion. Yin Jie did not dare to imagine that after two years of separation, goodbye to her husband, he was already a high-ranking official, and he had come to China to work.
Today, Yin Jie and her husband Karintong have walked hand in hand for thirty years. After Karinton came to China, Yin Jie gave birth to a son, Adaixuan Yin Ka. The children have grown up, Yin Jie and Karintong have slowly grown older, and the only constant is their love for each other.
