My name is Rose.
In 1993, born in Uganda, Africa, a family that was not rich, under the introduction of my cousin, I met my Chinese husband, Wu Jianyun
After eight years of love run, she plucked up enough courage to marry far away from rural China and became a Chinese girl.
In China, I experienced a different life, food, hobbies, and habits than in Uganda, Africa.
Many people are very interested in my love story and my past life, so today I will tell you about it.
An African girl for the past eight years
I was born in Uganda, Africa, in 1993 to a rural family that was not wealthy.
This is my African Ugandan family
But I was lucky that the family's lifestyle was loving each other.
Before I came to China, I still had long hair.
It's almost bald,
But the weather in Africa is very hot, and there is no way but to braid your hair, exposing a high hairline, and you may be bald.
I came out early to work and did furniture sales in Uganda.
Husband's cousin
By chance, I met my now husband's sister, who was doing trade at the time.
Because of the same personality, the two of us quickly became good sisters who talked about everything.
Through her, I met my husband Wu Jianyun, who was ten years older than me.
Husband Wu Jianyun
He was a chef, and at first, we didn't meet, we all chatted online, and neither of us showed our faces.
Chat with him online every day
I've always thought that Chinese don't like the skin and appearance of Africans very much and have been afraid to send their own selfies
But with the encouragement of Wu Jianyun, the first time he sent me my first selfie, he did not dislike me.
I sent him my first selfie
There is a saying in China: female junior, holding gold bricks, Wu Jianyun is ten years older than me, so I am very lucky, hugged three gold bricks.
Wu Jianyun gave me a lot of advice and companionship, and slowly we fell in love.
September 19, 2014, is the day we muster up the courage to run to each other.
But it also means that I have to leave the home where I have lived for 20 years, not willing, but full of expectations, because I like China very much.
I left my hometown where I had lived for 29 years
But after coming, I was not so happy, surrounded by unfamiliar environments and languages that I didn't understand.
More than that, getting a lot of attention, the language barrier made me feel lonely.
The language barrier left me a little lonely
It was Wu Jianyun who supported me, and it takes courage to find an African woman as a wife.
He said that when he came to China, he wanted to see the beauty of China, so we visited Beijing, Shanghai, and Hangzhou together, and fell in love with China even more.
Come to Tiananmen
Here I learned that enthusiasm, democracy, security, peace, and my love made me more determined to stay in China.
Wu Jianyun always patiently taught me to Chinese, and after three months, I could communicate easily.
Take a photo with Chinese
Although I miss home a lot, I feel at ease with him.
After being in love for half a year, he surprised me and proposed to me.
On March 31, 2015, we got our license, a crazy and brave decision.
We got the license
On April 23, 2015, the wedding ceremony was held, and the tension and excitement were indescribable.
The whole village came to witness our love, probably to see the foreign daughter-in-law.
Nervous and exciting Chinese wedding
On this day, I became a real Chinese daughter-in-law, and my life after marriage was happy and fulfilling.
It didn't take long for me to get pregnant, and at the same time I helped my husband learn to cook, which I thought was something I should do as a Chinese daughter-in-law.
Pregnant with Wu Zi'an
The husband is tired from work outside the home, and as soon as he comes home, he can eat a hot meal, which will definitely unload a trace of exhaustion.
In January 2016, our love crystallized, Wu Zian was born, and I became a Chinese mother.
White and chubby Wu Zi'an
Fortunately, when Wu Zi'an was born, he was still white and pure like her husband.
My in-laws left early, and my husband took care of me during the month.
My husband was taking care of me
After confinement, my husband went out to work, so I stayed behind to take care of Wu Zi'an.
At first, I was afraid that someone would bully Wu Zi'an, but later I found that I thought too much, and rural China is a place of mutual love.
Fear of being discriminated against
People will not be discriminatory, but they are very enthusiastic, is not to tease Wu Zi'an to play.
In June 2018, I missed you Uganda so much that I came home for the first time after four years away from home.
Four years on, ready to go home
Because the ticket was limited, he did not take Wu Zian back, sat on the plane, and looked at the underground country.
Truly feel: homesickness
In July 2018, he returned to China to subsidize his family and reduce a little burden on his husband.
I went out to work with my husband, and the children were taken care of by my cousin and cousin
Coffee shop work
I worked in a coffee shop, and although I didn't make much money, I had a lot of fun every day, and I cut off my long hair to facilitate my work.
In April 2019, because Wu Zi'an fell ill, he returned to the countryside and took care of him while picking tea leaves for processing.
Go home and take care of Wu Zi'an
It turns out that china's summer is really hotter than Africa's, and the winter is very cold.
Slowly, I adapted to life in China, and I didn't know until the outbreak of the new crown virus.
The decision was made right, although life is not rich, but it is very happy and happy.
It's good to get vaccinated, China
Now I record my Chinese life on Douyin, and I didn't expect to get everyone's likes, and I also have tens of millions of fans on Douyin.
I was lucky to have a husband and family who loved me.
