Sandra is an African girl who met Zou Qianshun, a man from Northeast China who was 16 years older than her, because of a haircut. In 2017, the two got married in Africa and chose to return to China to live.
After returning to China, their happiness was once concerned by the media, and CCTV even reported on them.
It's just that I didn't expect that in 2021, the two divorced suddenly, and Sandra returned to Africa with her son. And the reason for the divorce turned out to be because Sandra cheated, and even live broadcast......
What the hell is going on? What about the two of them now?

Encounters that affect half a lifetime
Sandra was born in Douala, Cameroon, to a family that has been in the barbering industry for generations.
Her parents and grandparents are both well-known barbers in the city and are well-known locally.
Sandra's parents wanted her to carry on the family business, but Sandra dreamed of becoming a doctor and enrolled in a medical school in Cameroon after graduating from high school.
However, in her senior year, Sandra's father died of illness and the barbershop was facing closure.
Sandra loved this long-established brand that had been passed down through generations and decided to give up the path of medicine and resolutely chose to inherit the family business.
The barbershop thrived and became one of the most prestigious barbershops in Douala.
When Zou Qianshun walked into Sandra's barbershop, it was Sandra who personally cut his hair.
The two chatted during the haircut and quickly developed a good feeling.
After a month of acquaintance, Zou Qianshun and Sandra decided to spend the rest of their lives together. Although they haven't known each other for a long time, they firmly believe that each other is the right person.
The two went through the marriage registration procedures with the local government and officially became a legal husband and wife.
As a foreigner, Zou Qianshun did not understand the language, but he also felt the hospitality of the African family.
After getting married, Zou Qianshun decided to stay in Douala and start a new life. To their delight, Sandra became pregnant shortly after the marriage.
Now that he has a child, Zou Qianshun has the idea of bringing Sandra back to the Northeast.
But Sandra, who first arrived in the Northeast, faced many unprecedented challenges.
First of all, there is the language barrier, Sandra can only speak African languages and English, and does not speak Northeast dialect at all. She was unable to communicate properly with her in-laws and family, nor could she make friends in the village.
The inconvenience of communication made Sandra feel isolated.
African daughters-in-law are not immune to mother-in-law conflicts
Then there is the difference in eating habits. Sandra is accustomed to African seasoning methods, but her in-laws' family prefers home-cooked food from the Northeast.
Sandra didn't get used to the food at first, and she often made mistakes when cooking, which always upset her in-laws.
In addition, her in-laws feel that Sandra is not as hard-working as a woman in the Northeast, so there is no way to take her to work in the fields.
Even if Sandra tried her best, she couldn't always meet the requirements of her in-laws.
The most important thing is the difference in living habits. Sandra's enthusiastic and unrestrained personality is incompatible with the more traditional and introverted lifestyle of her in-laws.
She always wanted to integrate into this new home in an African way, but her in-laws were too old to understand what she was doing.
Seeing that the family was not harmonious, Zou Qianshun began to encourage Sandra to broadcast live online, and also interact with netizens to learn Chinese.
At first, Sandra opened a small account on Kuaishou, occasionally uploading videos of the daily life of the two.
The life of this multinational couple is fresh and slowly attracting some attention.
Seeing the repercussions, Zou Qianshun recorded the whole process of Sandra learning to cook home-cooked food.
From the beginning of learning to cut vegetables, to slowly cook the whole process of authentic home-style taste. The videos in this series are particularly eye-catching and have received a lot of likes.
After having a certain number of basic fans, Sandra's live broadcasts have also increased, and she has gradually become a well-known local Internet celebrity couple.
As they became popular online, Sandra and Zou Qianshun's lives changed dramatically.
With the influence of Internet celebrities, Sandra opened a barber shop in the local city and ran it well.
She made the decoration of the restaurant exotic, which attracted many diners to come and experience it.
Because of her good craftsmanship and her friendly and interesting personality, the income of the barber shop soon surpassed that of Zou Qianshun, who worked as a farmer at home.
Crazy african daughter-in-law
With an economic foundation in place, Sandra began to work hard to shift her business focus to the Internet.
She sold local agricultural products on the live broadcast platform, and due to her foreigner freshness, she quickly accumulated a large number of fans.
After receiving the attention and coverage of CCTV and other mainstream media, Sandra quickly became a representative of the Internet celebrity economy. She began to sell various products in the live broadcast room, often selling hundreds of thousands of pieces.
However, after the expansion of the money-making channel, Sandra began to take risks.
She peddled some so-called "African miracle medicines" in the live broadcast room, at first it was Guyuan paste for some minor diseases, and then she began to sell "elixir" for the treatment of severe diseases.
And these "miracle medicines" are simply some home remedies she bought in her hometown in Africa. When she arrived in her live broadcast room, she claimed that she could cure a terminal illness, and the price was dozens of times higher than the market.
Soon, netizens complained and reported, and Sandra was also investigated and dealt with by the industrial and commercial department.
In fact, because of this incident, there have long been many contradictions between her and Zou Qianshun.
Zou Qianshun has always asked Sandra to concentrate on taking care of the elderly and children at home and not to be addicted to the Internet all day long.
But Sandra felt that she could make more money through the Internet and didn't want to be tied down by housework, and the two often quarreled about it.
Later, Sandra was dealt with for selling fake drugs, and Zou Qianshun persuaded her to stay away from the temptation of the Internet. But Sandra disagreed, thinking that it was just bad luck to get caught, and that she could make a fortune if she did it again.
Gradually, Sandra made a lot of hypocritical netizens online.
These people will only praise her and encourage her to continue to play clever online, and the couple's conceptual differences are getting deeper and deeper.
In 2022, some netizens suddenly exposed the barrage in Sandra's live broadcast room, and she opened indecent photos of her and a local rich second generation many times.
Sandra vehemently denied it, but the photos were her. Zou Qianshun, who couldn't bear it, finally decided to divorce.
In fact, Zou Qianshun had a marriage before Sandra, which was also abandoned......
The first wife had a bad temper
Zou Qianshun was born in an ordinary rural family in Liaoning Province, where his parents farmed for a living, relying on those few acres of small farmland to support the family.
Zou Qianshun's grades in school since childhood were not outstanding, but he was particularly filial.
When he was 20 years old, Zou Qianshun met a girl from the same village, and the two quickly fell in love and decided to get married.
It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, and less than a year after marriage, the two found that their personalities were incompatible and they often quarreled.
Zou Qianshun's first wife had a bad temper and often made trouble unreasonably, which made Zou Qianshun unbearable.
Coupled with the limited living standards of the two, the first wife often complained that Zou Qianshun earned too little.
In the end, after more than a year of marriage, the two agreed to divorce to end this unhappy marriage.
And the failure of this marriage made Zou Qianshun determined to leave his hometown and go out. Through connections, Zou Qianshun became a crew member and began to work at sea.
After the divorce, Zou realized that he needed a stable and well-paid job to improve his life.
At that time, a distant relative of his, who worked for a shipping company, offered him an opportunity to become a seafarer.
Life at sea is very hard, but you can get a relatively high income. Although Zou Qianshun had no relevant experience, he still accepted the job with the mentality of giving it a try.
After a period of training, Zou Qianshun began his career as a seafarer.
Life on board was completely different from on land, and he had to adapt to months of adrift at sea.
The work is very hard, and you have to face huge waves and bad weather every day. But at the same time, the income of seafarers is relatively high, which gives Zou Qianshun the motivation to continue to persevere.
Over the years, Zou Qianshun gradually adapted to life at sea and became an experienced seafarer.
In 2017, his ship received a new mission to deliver cargo to the port of Douala in Cameroon, Africa.
It was a new experience for Zou Qianshun, who had never been to Africa before.
When the ship finally arrived at the port of Douala, he was greeted by an eye-opener.
During their stay in Douala, the crew had the opportunity to go ashore to recuperate.
Zou Qianshun walked into a barber shop and wanted to get a haircut, but he didn't expect to meet Sandra......
epilogue
After the divorce, Sandra got custody of her son Daniel.
She chose to leave China and returned to her native Africa with her son Daniel, where she settled.
And in Africa, Sandra seems to have restarted her family. Some netizens discovered that she has another husband and children in the local area, living a leisurely life.
In contrast, Zou Qianshun's life seems uneventful. He was once well-known in the local area, but with Sandra's departure and events slowly losing influence, he returned to the life of an ordinary farmer.
Although there was once no difference, in the end, Sandra and Zou Qianshun both ended up in tragedy.
Sandra chose to chase money and vanity, and abandoned family responsibilities, completely ruining the 10-year marriage between Zou Qianshun and Sandra.
And the story of this transnational couple should also become a mirror of the current society......
