Foreword: Love and peace are the eternal themes of mankind, but they are still the most desired thing in some places today. And for those people in the region, what they want to do most is to get a "Chinese green card".
In 2021, a Syrian guy shared on social platforms a video of his family obtaining a "Chinese green card" for eight years, which attracted everyone's attention, and their family felt the warmth of China by settling in China to escape the war.
So, what kind of story do they have? How did they get the "Chinese green card" that is recognized as the most difficult in the world? What kind of changes and life have their family had now after ten years?
Ten years of sharpening a sword
"Taizhou, Zhejiang has become my home, and we have got a Chinese green card!"
In 2021, the Syrian man shared the news on social platforms, which instantly aroused a discussion among the majority of netizens: I envy Nanda so much, he can live in China permanently!
China is a non-immigrant country, if you want to settle in China, it is very difficult to apply for a permanent residence permit, and the requirements are also very strict, no criminal record, have a significant or outstanding contribution to China, or invest in China and have a stable situation, good tax payment, etc.
And now that he has a permanent residence permit in China, it proves that he is very powerful, and his efforts have made his family live a good and happy life.
Before getting the "Chinese green card", they had been living in China for 8 years and fell in love with this peaceful and friendly country.
In 21 years, their visa was about to expire, and his daughter said that she wanted to live in China forever, which triggered Nanda's thinking, and after the family discussed, they decided to apply for a permanent residence permit in China.
In June of the same year, the National Immigration Bureau of China informed him that his application had been successful, and he hurriedly took his wife and daughter to collect it.
He also specially asked the staff to help them record this beautiful moment, and when netizens saw the news, they sent their blessings to them!
The first impression of Taizhou
When Nanda first arrived in Taizhou, Zhejiang, China, it was because of work reasons, and he visited the sewing machine factory with his father, who was engaged in sewing machine work in Syria, because of the turbulent situation, Nanda listened to his father since he was a child and told him that it was not easy to survive.
In order to make Nanda have a better development in the future, Nanda often taught Nanda to learn Xi, Nanda also listened to his father, and followed his father to continue to learn Xi and sales, and lived a relatively wealthy life.
After graduating, Nanda also inherited his father's business and engaged in work related to sewing machines, and visited more, Nanda's vision also broadened, and as long as he looked at him, he could know how good the sewing machine was.
It was at the Taizhou Exhibition that a sewing machine gave him a glance for ten thousand years, and he glanced at the manufacturer: Jack's company, and he secretly swore in his heart that he would work hard to get in touch with Jack's company.
In 2001, Jack saw the prospect of the Chinese market, and her company needed to cooperate with Chinese suppliers, so he thought of the company he wanted.
After the exchange agreement, the two sides reached a cooperation, and Nanda was fully responsible for this matter, so he had a close relationship with Jack's company, and in his career, Nanda can be said to have risen steadily.
Went to China to escape the war
In 2013, Nanda stepped on a train to China again, this time alone and in the other that he was hiding from war in his own country.
Different from the uneven and desolate places he saw before, in just a few years, Taizhou has undergone earth-shaking changes, and he feels that his choice is right.
At the time of his birth, Syria was still a French colony, and the people were suffering from the prosperity, and the people were suffering, and the people were not living well.
In 2011, the Syrian government and the opposition broke out in civil fighting, and the whole country of Syria entered a state of stagnation, and people went into hiding.
At this moment, Nanda's company was also forced to close, and the family was terrified every day, leaving ruins everywhere they went, and they didn't know when such days would end.
It just so happened that Jack's company learned about Nanda's situation and proposed a solution to him: to go to China as the business manager of the Chinese branch.
In order to solve the current financial problems, he had to leave his family and leave his hometown, but Nanda has always been grateful for the company's help.
After receiving help, he decided to give back to the company, he worked very hard every day, and he also very much hoped that he could make better results and one day bring his wife and children here to live a safe life.
Although this is the second time I have come to China, I have not lived here for a long time before, and I am still very Xi to life here, and it is very difficult for a man who has never been in the kitchen to cook.
So every weekend, his colleagues would cook Chinese food for him, and Nanda would also cook his hometown food for his colleagues to taste.
Day after day, Nanda got familiar with the place and got along well with his colleagues, and after Nanda took charge of the project, the company's performance also improved by 20% compared to before, which shows Nanda's strength, and he also likes these time in China more and more.
Later, after learning about Nanda's wife and children in Syria, Nanda was asked if he needed any help, and Nanda only asked the leader how he could reunite with his family.
After knowing the appeal, the company began to solve Nanda's major trouble, and in just a few days, he received a message from Qiu Yangyou, deputy general manager of the company, and was ready to welcome his family!
In 2014, when the family of four was finally reunited, he and his wife hugged each other at the airport and told her how he had paid for the past few years, and he felt very relieved and safe about China.
The family settled in China
At first, Nanda's wife and children, like him, did not adapt to life in China, and they once quarreled with them to go back to their parents' home in Sweden.
He knew the reason for his wife's quarrel, he began to devote more effort to the family, he knew that life in China is very good, and then every day the family went out to understand the customs of Taizhou, visit the scenic spots, and communicate with people.
Gradually, my wife also began to like this place, she felt that the people here are hardworking and kind, as long as they are in trouble, the neighbors will help them, and the government also calls regularly to care about their lives and whether there is anyone who needs help.
Soon, the time came to the traditional Chinese festival - Spring Festival, they went to the street to buy New Year goods, paste couplets, eat Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and wrap red envelopes, their faces were always full of smiles, this feeling has never been before, and it is different from Syria.
When the fireworks were set off outside the window on Chinese New Year's Eve, the two daughters were startled, and they began to cry, thinking that because of the artillery fire, Nanda told them: Don't be afraid, China is safe, there will be no war, this is their fireworks, it is very beautiful.
As soon as midnight came, Nanda took out the red envelopes prepared in advance and handed them out, and they said that they would do this next time, and they would have been celebrating the New Year in China.
Considering that the children are not young, they are the age of going to school, Nanda sent them to school to receive Chinese education, thinking that they were afraid that they would not be Xi used to it, but they still made a lot of good friends at school.
Not to mention how happy the family is together, I can go to work and school on weekdays, and I can go out to see the beautiful rivers and mountains of China during my rest time.
Nanda also shows her parents their current life from time to time, and in 2019, their family became a family of five, and they feel very satisfied every time they think about their current life!
The author thinks
Chinese people are happy to live in such a generous and friendly country, and at the same time, Nanda's spirit of changing his life through his own efforts and hard work is also worth learning from Xi.
I hope that everyone can also live the life they want by working hard!
