"I'm just an ordinary person, and it's really not easy to do this. ”
"My husband wanted me to buy a house in Lebanon for about 300,000 yuan as a dowry for the girl, but in the end we refused, because we would be settling in China. ”
Recently, a young man from Henan, China, shared the story of his acquaintance with Jasmine, a Palestinian daughter-in-law who had just returned to China, on the Internet, and was blessed by many people.
And the most thrilling of them is that he went to Lebanon alone on October 8 last year, the second day of the new round of Palestinian-Israeli conflicts.
It took 66 days to bring Jasmine, who was not his wife at the time, back from the Lebanese refugee camp, and finally successfully applied for a Chinese residence permit.
Looking at Jasmine, her eyes are now full of the sweet appearance of the guy.
How did these two people, who seem to "live in two worlds", meet and eventually become a transnational couple?
66 days were full of apprehension
Since Wang Po has been to Jiangxi, many boys in China have begun to seriously think about the sentence "Open your eyes to see the world" of "Awakening Sister", but this Henan guy "Xiao Zhou" is one step faster than many boys.
When he was taking the undergraduate examination two years ago, he downloaded an app to learn foreign languages online, and then accidentally, on this APP, he met his future wife Jasmine.
Jasmine is a Palestinian, and in order to escape the war, the family is currently mainly settled in Lebanon, and the two have been chatting across borders for nearly a year, and the relationship has been established through "online dating".
On October 8, 2023, I once again heard on the news that the area where the beloved girl was located broke out again, and Xiao Zhou suddenly felt that he could no longer continue "online dating".
Although he is just an ordinary Chinese, China is obviously much safer than Lebanon and Palestine, and he does not want his girl to live every day in an area where conflict has broken out, and spend every day in fear.
When Xiao Zhou went to the Palestinian areas, he took some photos as a record.
As can be seen from the photos, he departed from Shanghai Pudong Airport at that time, and because it was the first time to go abroad, he once arrived at the airport 4 hours early.
However, at that time, the Middle East was not so easy to visit.
The conflict had just begun, and many flights had canceled their original flight plans, and the German flight he had originally booked refused to board after hearing that Xiao Zhou was going to land in Palestine.
In the meantime, he also asked airlines in Dubai and other Arab countries, but the other side not only has strict requirements for visas, but also bluntly said that "because of the war, if Xiao Zhou goes, it is very likely that he will not be able to return to China in the short term."
Jasmine was very pessimistic about these obstacles faced by Xiao Zhou at the time, and she even began to feel that these might be "fate" in a war-torn area.
However, we Chinese, the main thing is that one person will win the day and never give up.
In the end, Xiao Zhou booked a ticket to Lebanon through Emirates, and after 19 hours of transit, he successfully met his girl.
The first time they met, Jasmine also brought her father with her, and as you can see from the photos, she is wrapped in a red headscarf and has dark skin, which is a standard Middle Eastern girl.
Compared with the two young men and women who laughed like "fools", Jasmine's father was a little serious.
In Xiao Zhou's records, we can also see the real scenes he filmed in the Lebanese refugee settlement, in Xiao Zhou's own words, "as if he was in a movie, and strengthened his determination to take Jasmine with him." ”
However, although Jasmine herself is reluctant to follow Xiao Zhou away because of love and other reasons, even if she is reluctant to let her parents go.
But Jasmine's father and mother obviously have other considerations for this transnational marriage.
In order to give his girl more protection, Xiao Zhou said that Jasmine's father had asked him to buy a house in Lebanon, with a market value of about 300,000 yuan.
In the face of this request, Xiao Zhou couldn't cry or laugh.
As a Chinese, the biggest purpose of his trip was to take his Palestinian girl away from Lebanon, and the two returned to China to settle together.
What's more, he is not a rich man, and he really can't buy a permanent residence in Lebanon without thinking about moving in at all.
However, although he rejected his father-in-law's request to buy a house, Xiao Zhou really contributed a lot in the process of applying for a visa for Jasmine.
The first thing they did was to apply for a marriage certificate at the local marriage registration office, and in the photo, both of them were smiling very sweetly.
After Jasmine became China's daughter-in-law, Xiao Zhou soon began to apply for a "Q1 visa" for Jasmine as a husband and wife.
This is the key to whether Jasmine can enter China, and according to Xiao Zhou, Jasmine is the first Palestinians who can have this visa, and Jasmine is the first in the Lebanese region.
In the end, until December 13, 2023, after 66 days, Jasmine who came all the way to China finally applied for a residence permit and can settle in China for a long time.
In the face of Xiao Zhou's series of operations, many netizens expressed their admiration and blessings to him.
In order to make Jasmine's life more comfortable after coming to China, many people provided Xiao Zhou with various suggestions and asked him to pay attention to Jasmine's physical and mental health.
Judging from the video shared by Xiao Zhou and Jasmine, although she has been in China for more than half a year, Jasmine still has a strong concept of a Palestinian girl.
In daily life, she still chooses to wrap her hair tightly with a headscarf, only occasionally using a hat instead.
When a friend came to Xiao Zhou to get together and took Jasmine out for dinner, she was even more shocked: "If I want to go out with my husband to meet friends in Palestine, he may break my leg." ”
And what disturbs Jasmine the most is actually the worry about her relatives in Lebanon.
In the video they released on April 29, it can be clearly seen that Jasmine's parents suddenly lost contact for more than 20 hours because of "water and electricity cuts", and Jasmine, who knew nothing from far away in China, could only wait anxiously for news.
All day, Jasmine was scared.
But in any case, Jasmine, who has come to China, is undoubtedly lucky, and I hope that her family can be safe.
epilogue
According to the latest news, Jasmine is now several months pregnant, and the two will soon have a baby of their own.
What makes them even happier is that as soon as this baby is born, he will have Chinese nationality.
I hope that this Sino-Pakistani couple, who have come together with difficulty, will live a happier and smoother life.
