I like to travel, I was going to travel on my own, I got lost in the Northeast, so I had to sign up for a local tour group, and it was in this group that I met an Indonesian girl.
Because we are all young people, there is no barrier to communication, so the conversation along the way is in full swing, she praised the beautiful scenery of China all the way, and the people are friendly and warm, and later she also said to me: "As long as one condition is met, I am willing to marry in China!"
It's been a few years since I graduated from college, and I decided to travel to Tohoku alone because of the window period of my resignation, and I booked a hotel online, but when I took the bus, I was so confused that I had to sit back in the same direction in a daze, so I had to sit back in an hour.
I thought to myself, it would be better to have someone to take care of the food, lodging and itinerary, and then I signed up for a tour group, and that's how I met Andara, who had a beautiful face, skin like chocolate, and thick eyelashes like a fan, which was very exotic, and she looked like she was from the tropics.
After a brief conversation, we found that her Chinese is good, and Andala said that she is Indonesian-Chinese, and her grandparents went to Indonesia to live because of the war, and later lived there.
I said, "You should be very good in Chinese!" Andara said: "Grandparents, Mom and Dad can speak Cantonese and Mandarin is also good, but after the 60s, the government banned teaching Chinese, so she learned Indonesian in school since she was a child, and she had to change it to an Indonesian surname!"
I visually estimated that Andala should be about my age, and she said that after graduating from high school, her family hired someone to teach her Chinese, and later she was admitted to a university in Guangdong.
"You know what? Many of my classmates don't understand, because if you want to study abroad, you will definitely go to Europe, America, Japan and other places!"
I said, "Just like when I was a child, I watched foreign movies and Hong Kong films, most people would think that European and American countries are very advanced, fashionable, and open-minded, so I especially yearn for them!"
"When I was a businessman, I went to many places with my parents, Paris, Los Angeles, and lived for a while during the winter and summer vacations, but after I came to China for university, I still prefer China," Andara said.
I asked, "Is it because I have Chinese blood on my body?" Andala said: "When I was a child, my grandparents had a lot of old books, and my grandmother often held me to read poetry when I was a child, but my Chinese was much worse than my parents!"
I asked curiously, "Why do you want to travel to the Northeast?" Andala said: "A friend of hers is from the Northeast, and she often tells her that there are many delicious and fun things in the Northeast!"
Her expression flashed with a hint of sadness, and after a few seconds she said to me: "I miss this friend so much, she died of illness later, we agreed before, she wants to take me out to play, but now I can only be alone!" I hurriedly comforted her: "Your friend will definitely be very relieved to know that you still miss him so much!"
Andala looked at me and smiled gratefully, she seemed to be talking to herself, and seemed to say to me: "I like China very much, when I was a child, my grandfather told me that China was very poor at that time, and many people were hungry, but you see, how good it is developing now!"
"The high-rise buildings here, the infrastructure is needless to say, the main thing is that the security here is very good, there will be people to check the subway by car, go out at night, it doesn't matter if you are late, there are a lot of patrol police!"
The director took us to eat a lot of Northeast food, the amount of dishes is very large, they speak very funny, and often say "improper" jokes very seriously.
I'm from the north, and I quickly feel the essence of it, but Andara often doesn't know why, and usually I explain to her what's funny.
"You remind me that when I first came to China to go to school, I often couldn't find my way, and every time I asked someone, they explained it to me very carefully, and some of them would take me along a road," Andara said. ”
I couldn't help but open my mouth wide: "You are so bold, you still follow others for a while!" Andala said: "Actually, I was a little scared when I first came, but when I saw their sincerity, I felt that they would not lie to me!"
She said that the Chinese are very friendly, and I felt very warm in my heart when she said it, and I said, "I am the one who is often asked for directions!"
Andala said, "That's because you're kind-faced, I learned it from a friend!" I guess her friend is probably a northerner.
Andala nodded, and she continued: "I like the things sold here, there is everything, I have been to Yiwu, and I was really stunned to see those dazzling products!"
"And it's so convenient to shop online, food, clothing, housing and transportation, basically what you want, you can buy it from the Internet, once I was sick at night, I just found an errand to send me medicine, and one point, your Internet speed here is too fast, we can't compare there!"
To be honest, China's express delivery industry is now developed, which is a commonplace phenomenon.
Andala said: "Although we also shop online there, we are not as good as here! When I came back from vacation, I told my friends about this, and they all really wanted to come to China to play!"
I laughed: "You are equivalent to a free Chinese propaganda ambassador!" She sighed: "My grandfather hopes that I can come to China to develop in the future, and I also want to find a Chinese to marry!"
I said, "That's simple, there are a lot of Chinese guys, your classmates, your colleagues, and then expand your social circle, maybe you will meet the right person!"
Andara shook his head and said, "My parents are in Indonesia, if they come to China in the future, I hope to bring them over, preferably in a southern city in China, because it is too cold, maybe they are not used to it!"
I thought to myself, this may be a little difficult, because there are too many factors involved, so Andala also sighed and said: "I'm afraid I can't find such a person, young people nowadays are very afraid of living with old people!"
I said, "Don't be discouraged, you should have a good financial situation at home, you just work hard to earn money, and the economy can solve most problems!" Andara smiled again.
There are several couples in the group, and they can be seen to be more affectionate, Andala is very envious and said: "Do you know, the status of Indonesian women is not very high, men can marry several wives, although my father married my mother alone, but many of my classmates' fathers have other wives!"
The marriage system has been related to various factors such as history, culture, religion and so on, such as monogamy in the mainland after the founding of the People's Republic of China, polygamy was abolished in Hong Kong in 1971, and monogamy was only started in Taiwan in 1985. Since childhood, we have been exposed to the education of "women also hold up half the sky" and "boys and girls are the same".
When Andala heard what I said, she agreed, "When I was in college, I felt that the girls around me were working very hard!"
We went to the aquarium in Dalian, the Russian style street, and had breakfast on the crowded streets of the Northeast, the buns in the Northeast were particularly large, and Andala said that they could be as big as their faces, and I said: "The northerners are cold in winter, so the amount of food is generally large, you see my buns, I can eat two or three in one breath!"
We also ate the special food of the Northeast, the big rice buns, fragrant, and special porcelain, and Andara couldn't finish it.
Speaking of food, Andara told me: "There are a lot of Chinese people in Indonesia, and many of them have ancestors who are similar to my grandparents, and they all fled, so the food attracts many local characteristics." “
"It's the result of the integration of Chinese culture into local culture, such as the tofu mix, which was introduced to Indonesia very early. "I asked what a tofu assortment was.
"It's hard-boiled eggs, fried tofu, minced garlic and crushed peanuts, it's kind of street food," Andala said. I said, "Is it as popular as Guangzhou rice rolls?" and Andala nodded.
She continued: "Indonesian cuisine is also influenced by Fujian cuisine, such as southern Fujian noodles, which is the local meat noodles from southern Fujian, as well as Fujian tea, we sometimes drink hot tea in the morning, black ice tea at noon, and hot bitter tea in the evening!"
Because I didn't know much about Indonesian culture, I listened to her explain quietly, and I said, "I'm in the food show, I remember there is sa cha sauce!"
Andala said with a smile: "At this time, Indonesia's special food is a kind of sauce, which is synthesized with onions, peanuts, dried shrimps, etc., which tastes sweet and spicy, and the bar began to be introduced to Fujian, and later became popular in Guangdong and other places!"
We've seen a lot of Russians who are also dying young, greeted warmly by street vendors, probably because they have too many Russian tourists, who know some Russian.
Andala quipped, "It's a great place to learn foreign languages." "The journey to the Northeast is long, and the director told us a lot of interesting stories, such as the story of breaking through the Kanto region, and the story of the folk legend of the Northeast Daxian.
I sat down with Andara, and said that I used to love to read fantasy novels, which would tell all kinds of legends in the deep mountains of the Northeast, which was very interesting, and Andala also asked me to introduce her to the number, saying that I would read it when I had time.
Of course, the most exciting thing for Andara is skiing, which is the ultimate experience for her as a person from the tropics.
Everyone was very uncoordinated at first, but under the patient guidance of the coach, it was finally better, Andara's understanding was much stronger than mine, and she happily said to me, "I'm so excited, if only I could ski every day!"
I said, "You can come to Tohoku and find a job, you can see snow every year, and you can skate on the road!" I remembered my childhood when I was a child and staggered and slipped after snowing.
We visited the museum, which was full of modern history and how the Qing government signed treaties that humiliated the country.
My history is also very ordinary, so we read the introduction very carefully, listen to the director's explanation, except for the museum, Andara said to me: "Grandpa used to tell me what he experienced when he was a child, and China was so miserable at that time!"
I said, "Yes, so if we fall behind, we will be beaten, and we are working hard now to develop just so that we don't get bullied!"
We also visited the Memorial Hall to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and saw that there were various cultural relics on display inside, and the exhibition hall was full of photos and models, which reminded me of Wei Wei's "loveliest person".
The tour is coming to an end, and Andala said that she wants to go back to Indonesia to see her family, and then go back to Guangzhou to work, she said: "I want to stay in China now, and my grandparents are also very happy!"
I said, "Maybe you'll soon meet someone who meets your requirements and bring your family here!" Andara said, "As long as this condition is met, I will get married and stay in China!"
Nowadays, many foreigners like to be in China, because it is stable, safe, the economy is developing steadily, and it is very convenient to live and work.
