In 2008, Fang Qin wore a white wedding dress, affectionately held John's hand, and walked to the wedding hall.
Their transnational love has gone through countless hardships and obstacles, and finally ushered in a happy ending and realized the greatest dream of happiness in life. From the initial misunderstandings and doubts, to the in-depth understanding and acceptance, and finally to the joint creation of a brilliant career, growth and progress together, this couple from different countries has composed a touching cross-cultural love song with their true stories.
This love journey across borders has not been easy. When Fang Qin, a supermarket girl from the countryside, met the tall and handsome foreign man John for the first time, she inevitably had a trace of doubt and vigilance in her heart.
After all, there is a huge age gap and cultural differences between them, and Fang Qin can't help but worry about whether their relationship will be able to withstand the baptism of time. However, with his sincere emotions and endless patience, John finally succeeded in capturing Fang Qin's heart.
He not only took the initiative to invite Fang Qin to go out to play, but also actively participated in the craze of learning Chinese, eager to integrate into Fang Qin's life circle as soon as possible. What's even more touching is that John also won the approval and love of Fang Qin's mother, becoming a pampered new member of the family.
As time passed, Fang Qin gradually became familiar with John's habits and values, and although the cultural differences between them could not be completely eliminated, through mutual understanding and tolerance, they finally learned to appreciate and respect each other's uniqueness.
For example, John often forgets to turn off the faucet when washing things, much to the displeasure of the thrifty Fang Qin. However, after many times of communication and teaching, John gradually realized the inappropriateness of this behavior and took the initiative to change his habits.
In the grinding of life, they accommodate each other, adapt to each other, and their feelings are getting deeper and deeper.
While Fang Qin was still troubled by the differences between the two, John made a shocking decision - to give up his lucrative job in England and choose to stay in China and co-found a café with Fang Qin.
That unwavering determination instantly ignited Fang Qin's inner world like a flame, so that she was finally able to get relief from her complicated emotions and accept this foreign man who still loved her deeply despite the vicissitudes of life.
Since then, they have built their own café together, working together to fight for their dreams.
Although there will inevitably be difficulties along the way, as long as they stay by each other's side and support each other, they will be able to overcome all challenges and pave the way to happiness.
The grand wedding in 2008 was undoubtedly the pinnacle of this transnational relationship, and it was also the perfect end. When Fang Qin and John joined hands in the warm congratulations of relatives and friends and entered the palace of marriage, everyone present was moved by the courage and perseverance of the lovers and applauded one after another.
With their own experiences, they proclaim to the world that as long as their hearts are full of courage, love can transcend the boundaries of borders, cultures and ages, and shine brightly. This touching transnational love affair is undoubtedly worthy of all of our heartfelt blessings and eternal remembrance.
It was an ordinary day in 2006, and Fang Qin was standing in front of the dairy shelves of the supermarket with full attention, dutifully providing intimate and thoughtful service to every customer.
Suddenly, she inadvertently turned her head and noticed a burly, imposing foreign man in front of her.
This friend from a foreign land obviously spoke highly of Fang Qin's warm service, and he stared at Fang Qin's beautiful and moving face, and involuntarily showed a warm smile on his face.
Seeing such a friendly response from the customer, Fang Qin secretly thought to herself that perhaps it was this opportunity that made it possible for her to successfully sell the supermarket's milk products to him, thereby improving her sales performance.
So, in a passionate tone, she told him about her milk products in detail. Unexpectedly, instead of refusing, the customer bought more and more, and finally bought ten bags of milk in one go.
Such an unusual behavior immediately caught the attention of supermarket employees, who joked that the foreign guest had "fallen in love" with Fang Qin.
However, Fang Qin did not take these jokes to heart, she just devoted herself to her work, believing that the foreign friend had only developed a temporary interest in her, and that she would return to normal in a few days.
However, the reality of the situation has developed beyond Fang Qin's expectations. Not only did the distinguished foreign friend continue to come to buy milk as scheduled, but he even wrote a very affectionate love letter to her.
This undoubtedly put Fang Qin in an embarrassing and angry situation, because there seemed to be a certain degree of rudeness in the words in the love letter, which made her feel that this foreign friend was a little too casual and exceeded the boundaries of social etiquette.
So, the two of them began a relatively simple and busy life for three months, with tedious and meticulous exchanges in front of the milk shelves every day. As time passed, Fang Qin gradually changed her opinion of this foreign friend, and found that he did not show obvious malice.
In fact, the foreign friend was quietly planning a romantic date for Fang Qin, and he extended a hand of friendship to Fang Qin again, and handed her another invitation full of tenderness and sweetness.
When Fang Qin arrived at the agreed place on time, she was greeted by a handsome and dashing foreign gentleman and a translator. After the interpreter's explanation, Fang Qin learned that the foreign friend's name was John, who was over the age of six, divorced a few years ago, and had recently moved to China from the United Kingdom to work as a senior consultant for a well-known company.
John enthusiastically introduces himself to Fang Qin and cordially invites her to visit his friend's residence.
This series of actions deeply moved Fang Qin and made her feel warm. Compared with the selfish and stingy husband before him, John's gentleness and care are even more precious.
At this happy party, Fang Qin finally realized that the invitation that made her feel embarrassed was actually just the result of John's blunt translation using software, and not out of any bad intentions.
Despite facing such a dignified and majestic foreign friend, Fang Qin still has many doubts and troubles hidden in the depths of his soul. After all, there is a huge age gap and obvious class differences between them, which makes it impossible for Fang Qin to judge whether this transnational romance can reach the other side of happiness.
However, just as Fang Qin was about to return the key given by John to the other party, John frankly admitted his mistake and solemnly invited Fang Qin to share a sumptuous Chinese meal.
This courteous and personable demeanor finally touched Fang Qin's heartstrings. Facing such a gentleman like this, Fang Qin was silent, and finally could only wave goodbye gently.
Fang Qin, who returned home, lay alone in bed, her thoughts were flying. She was well aware that there was a huge gap between herself and John, both in terms of age and social status.
However, when she recalls John's respect and sincere feelings for herself, it is difficult to let go of this feeling in her heart.
In the face of all kinds of doubts and opposition, Fang Qin resolutely decided to find John and start a sincere conversation with him. When John learned of Fang Qin's inner doubts, he immediately expressed his firm determination: "What I have always loved is your unique personality—your enthusiasm, your kindness and innocence, and your inwardly indifferent personality.
”。
At this moment, John suddenly made a request to Fang Qin - hoping to be able to formally propose to her.
Faced with this sudden request, Fang Qin was almost stunned. How could we talk about marriage after only a few months of acquaintance? However, John patiently explained that he had been secretly in love with her for many years, and that this time was too short for him.
Although Fang Qin, who is over forty years old, cannot easily make decisions about major life events, she also deeply understands John's deep affection for her. In the days that followed, the two gradually deepened their understanding and knowledge of each other.
Gradually, John would come to greet Fang Qin home every day when she got off work, and sometimes he would even inadvertently speak a few words of fluent Chinese, which surprised Fang Qin and was very surprised.
Just as the relationship between them became deeper and deeper, John actually received the good news that the company was about to be transferred back to China to work! Although this news was undoubtedly great news for John - he was finally able to return to his homeland, but his heart was full of endless thoughts for his sweetheart Fang Qin.
In order to find a solution to the problem, he decided to be honest with Fang Qin, and looked forward to her understanding and support, and returned to England with him for the rest of his life.
However, in the face of practical considerations, Fang Qin realized that her current abilities and conditions were not enough to deal with the challenges of living abroad on her own, such as poor language communication and difficulties in adapting to the environment.
After much deliberation, Fang Qin finally chose to refuse John's affectionate invitation.
When she heard Fang Qin's answer, the happy smile on John's face was as innocent as a child, and Fang Qin instantly realized that she had already fallen deeply in love with this man.
At that moment, Fang Qin strengthened her belief and decided to walk hand in hand with John to create a better future for them in China.
Without hesitation, John quit his job in England and decided to open his own coffee shop in China with Fang Qin. The old tailor from England not only took good care of Fang Qin's mother, but also brought all kinds of beautiful gifts with him every time she visited, and even before she even set foot in the house, she affectionately called her "mother".
It is worth mentioning that this "non-traditional" new son-in-law is gradually integrating into the daily life of Fang Qin's family, caring for each other with his family, injecting more warmth into the family.
As time passed, the cozy café co-run by Fang Qin and John was officially opened thanks to their hard work. Their hard work and dedication to each other have made this café run in an orderly and perfect way in every aspect.
However, despite this, the square qin, which lives under the same roof, is often troubled by John's habits. For example, John often forgets to turn off the faucet when washing things, much to the displeasure of Fang Qin, who has always been frugal.
Her unwavering spirit of conservation made her extremely unhappy with John's behavior, which she considered to be an extremely irresponsible waste of electricity resources. In order to change this situation, she will always warn John mercilessly, however, it is in this constant run-in and communication that the relationship between the two begins to become as close as confidants.
"John, do you realize that water is not an infinite supply of free resources? If we keep the tap on, then we are undoubtedly making a pointless squander.
This is a waste of money!" Fang Qin's words were sharp and powerful, full of deep worry.
Faced with such an excited Fang Qin, John's heart was full of guilt, he apologized to Fang Qin again and again, and even sometimes teased Fang Qin in a humorous way: "Look at you, my petite Chinese bride."
His words and actions were full of affection and understanding, and more importantly, he loved her deeply.
In this love story full of twists and turns but sweet, they supported each other and walked through countless hardships and obstacles together.
So, John and Fang Qin decided to join forces to start a business, and on that historic day in 2008, John tightly held the hand of Fang Qin, who was wearing a white wedding dress, and they entered the sacred marriage hall in the sound of everyone's blessings.
At that moment, Fang Qin's smile was like a blooming flower, intoxicatingly beautiful. She and John have gone through countless ups and downs, and now they finally have a happy ending and achieved a major happiness goal in their lives.
