Jin Xing went to her German mother-in-law's house for dinner for the first time after marriage, and her mother-in-law's family was very happy. However, when Venus got up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet, she accidentally found her mother-in-law crying alone in the living room, which frightened Venus.
By chance in 2004, Hans and Venus met for the first time on a plane to their destination.
As a German businessman who usually has to squeeze into a noisy economy class on a business trip, Hans had no choice but to buy an expensive first-class ticket this time, just to get a moment of peace and comfort.
And Venus, the famous artist in the dance world, has long been Xi to this kind of luxurious treatment, and her appearance makes Hans's eyes shine.
Hans was overwhelmed by her grace at the first sight of Venus.
When he saw Jin Xing sitting upright in his seat, dressed in a modest cheongsam with a gentle smile on his face, he realized that this was an opportunity not to be missed.
So, Hans plucked up the courage to walk up to Venus and try to talk to her.
He greeted her with polite and humorous language, while Venus smiled and subtly responded to Hans's unsolicited accosting with a Chinese idiom.
Although Venus's answer seemed reserved and substantial, it made Hans feel fresh and surprised.
On the following flight, the two began to communicate more. Hans's frankness and passion gradually infected Venus, and Hans was impressed by Venus's intelligence and humor.
Even in the face of the tedium of a long-distance flight, the two still talked about it. Towards the end of his journey, Hans jumped at the chance to ask Venus for contact information, hoping to keep in touch with her.
Despite being a little uncomfortable with the sudden closeness, Venus was impressed by Hans's sincerity and finally shared his contact information.
However, when Hans began to get to know Venus in depth, he faced a test he had never thought possible. Venus unabashedly reveals to Hans her dual identity as a transgender and a single mother.
The news was like a bolt from the blue, and it was difficult for Hans to accept it for a while. But after a brief moment of shock and reflection, Hans chose to understand and respect Venus's choice.
After all, in the face of love, nothing should be an obstacle that is difficult to overcome.
When Hans returned to Germany and told his family about the special situation of Venus, they showed varying degrees of confusion and concern.
Hans's mother, in particular, thought she was greeting a traditional daughter-in-law, but found that the reality was so unexpected.
However, as the relationship between the two deepens, Hans's mother gradually understands Venus's kindness and strength, and the doubts in her heart are slowly resolved.
Especially when she learned that Venus's self-control in the face of food was to maintain her professional image, she was full of respect for this daughter-in-law.
Venus behaves wisely in her dealings with her mother-in-law. She learned to deliberately ignore the existence of the German language, so that she could maintain peace of mind in the face of possible misunderstandings or criticism.
And in Hans's house, she always kept her hands and feet, tried her best to share the housework, and won the approval of her mother-in-law with her hard work. This philosophy of living with less talk and more work has made their relationship more harmonious.
Today, Venus and Hans's transnational marriage has gone through many springs and autumns. Her mother-in-law always affectionately called her "daughter" and was full of motherly love and concern for her.
Venus responds with respect and affection, often conveying her concern and concern through phone calls or visits. The seemingly difficult relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is actually full of harmony and warmth.
Looking back on this journey, Venus summed up a golden saying: in a cross-cultural marriage, whether it is getting along with mother-in-law and daughter-in-law or other family chores, it is always a golden rule to talk less and do more.
Only communication based on mutual respect and understanding can promote family harmony.
