This is the 3,848th real story we have told
This is an extraordinary journey of life, from an ordinary family in Shanxi to a garden villa in Germany, every step is full of courage and determination.
This is a story about curiosity, love of learning and constant pursuit of dreams, and is the best commentary on perseverance and struggle.
At every turning point, she showed endless possibilities and a positive attitude.
This is an inspiring and enlightening text that illustrates the true meaning of life: perseverance, and dreams will come true.
(I'm in Athens, Greece)
I'm JJ, I was born in an ordinary family in Shanxi, my father is an engineer, and my mother is a traditional Chinese woman. I also have an older sister and a younger brother who live in the same city as my parents.
Influenced by my father, I was curious about everything from a young age, and I loved to read and learn. In particular, he is fond of mathematics, and participated in the Mathematics Olympiad in elementary school and won the third place.
I also love sports, and perhaps because I'm taller and good at running, people like to call me "Sister Long Legs".
When I was 9 years old, I was selected by the principal of the city sports school and began 9 years of track and field training, and gradually rose to prominence, becoming a national third-level track and field athlete in the fifth grade.
When I was in high school, I joined the school basketball team, represented the school in the provincial basketball competition, won awards, and added points to the college entrance examination.
Before the college entrance examination at the age of 18, I trained in track and field and basketball while working hard to learn cultural knowledge.
(Shikashima, Japan)
Although physical training took up part of my study time and energy, I did not neglect the study of cultural classes, and my exam scores were always at the top.
During the college entrance examination, I was admitted to a double-first-class university majoring in materials science, and became one of the few girls in my class.
Coming from my hometown to a city far away to go to university has allowed me to see the bigger world and become more self-reliant.
Because of my tall stature, I was often suggested to be a model. My dad used to buy me some models and fashion magazines. So, I also planted a seed of a dream to be a model, but I didn't deliberately pursue it. Unexpectedly, my dream of modeling came true when I was in college.
Once, when the school held a model contest, I was intrigued and plucked up the courage to sign up, but I was unexpectedly selected.
Later, I studied with a professional model with other selected girls, and later participated in various performances and competitions at school, which was also a fulfillment of my dream of modeling.
(I just came to Japan for exchange study)
During my master's and doctoral studies at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, I took the lead in setting up a graduate school model team due to my professional training, and participated in many evening parties, which have carved the best memories of my youth.
During my Ph.D., I had the opportunity to attend an international conference in Athens, Greece, where I met Professor Yuriko Aoki from a well-known national university in Japan.
Soon after returning to Japan, she invited me to study in Japan and won me a "friendship scholarship". So, I was invited to Japan.
Half a year later, I returned to China to attend the doctoral graduation ceremony and won the first prize of the Shi Changxu Scholarship of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the President Scholarship of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
As the only female student to win the first prize of the Shi Changxu Scholarship that year, I was fortunate to be selected as the representative of the doctoral graduates to deliver a speech at the graduation ceremony.
During my exchange study in Japan, I met a handsome German guy who was 5 years younger than me, and later became my husband.
(Ph.D. graduated)
He was of German-French descent and studied in Japan at the same time as me. He said that when he saw the principal present me with a scholarship certificate with a beautiful frame, he began to feel good about me.
At that time, we all lived in the International Student Association and met many international students from all over the world. We went to the Japanese corner, played table tennis, partyed, karaoke, went to Umanakado Park to shoot a small movie, and took a bus trip to Nagasaki...... It was a very happy time to study abroad.
Once, a Chinese friend from the directing department invited him to play the leading role in a short film when he was filming his graduation work.
Although his acting skills are a little funny, the filming process is very interesting, and it can be regarded as an actor's addiction. The original disc at that time, we still have it today.
After graduating with a master's degree, he continued his doctoral studies in Japan. I had already applied for a postdoc in Sweden, but in order to be with him, I gave up everything and went to Japan to teach at Kitakyushu City University.
(Fukuoka, Japan)
A year later, I was able to secure a position as a GCOE Fellow at the university. During this period, she received a research grant for female researchers and was interviewed by the Information Department of Kyushu University.
After my husband graduated from his Ph.D., we came to Germany. He entered the global 500 company and worked as a manager.
I didn't know German when I first arrived, but after 4 months of studying at a language school, I passed the German B1 exam with flying colors, and I got a perfect score in the writing section. At present, I am fluent in 4 languages: Chinese, English, Japanese and German.
In the same year, I joined the theoretical physics department of a local university, where I became the only female researcher in the laboratory, and received support from the university for female researchers.
During my years overseas, the projects I worked on were not always related to my PhD project.
Every time I get a new topic, it is not easy to do, after all, the research direction is different, I need to understand the background, current situation, problems and development direction of the research topic from scratch, and I need to spend a lot of time and energy reading a lot of literature.
(German Lakeside)
Generally speaking, after graduating from the PhD, I will basically continue to study in the same or similar direction, but if I stick to my original research direction, I may not be able to be in the same city as my husband, after all, not every university has a suitable position for me.
In order to avoid two places, I chose a university in the same city as his company, and even if I needed to start anew and deepen my research direction, I gladly accepted the challenge.
There is no such thing as the right choice in life, only the one that is more suitable for you. As long as you stick to the true demands of your heart and constantly surpass yourself, you can reap the true satisfaction and achievement of life.
Mr. has a good personality, there is a French romance, but also a German rigorous, warm and cheerful, and he gets along well with people. At first, we also had conflicts due to cultural differences, but it was this run-in process that deepened our understanding of each other.
We respect each other's cultures. In our eyes, cultural differences will become a trait that attracts each other.
(Japan Village)
He always creates romance and surprises me at any festival, big or small. Many years later, our love is still as warm and sweet as it was at the beginning.
My father-in-law is a German hydrogeologist and former president of the World Hydrogeological Association.
Prior to his retirement, he worked in different countries around the world, including 3 years in Namibia, Africa.
During that time, my husband attended high school for three years at a local private German school. He said that the sunshine of Namibia and the smiles of the locals have instilled two qualities in his bones: positivity and optimism.
The 3 years in Africa were wonderful and unforgettable for him, and he often shared with me interesting stories about life there.
I am lucky to have a pair of very enlightened in-laws. From the very beginning, I was very warmly welcomed into their family.
(Gran Canaria, Spain)
My mother-in-law is French and treats me like my own daughter. In order to get along with me better, she took every opportunity to learn about Chinese culture, and when she saw a topic about China in the newspaper, she would read it carefully, and then cut it out and keep it, so as to understand the place where I lived.
My husband's French grandfather was also very welcoming, and when we fell in love, he said that I was "a beautiful pearl that he found on the beach".
My grandfather was the founder of their family business, and he used my photos as a background to make a promotional poster for their company.
A few years ago, he was awarded the "Chevalier de légion d'Honneur" by the President of France, and his invention of the shoemaking process made a huge leap in the productivity of the industry at that time, and promoted the development of the French shoe industry.
The company he founded has been an important partner of well-known fashion brands such as LV in France. His automaton for sewing the handles of LV handbags is still used in LV factories around the world.
(Skiing in France)
In love that transcends borders, cultural differences make our journey wonderful. The warmth of family and the sweetness of love, like a moving poem, are more and more precious in the wind and rain of the years.
In 2014, Dabao came to us. My mother was not at ease and came to Germany to take care of me for 3 months.
Germany has a healthy maternity and childcare benefit for women, and couples have a total of three years of parental leave after childbirth. I took a year off and then went back to school, after all, if I was away for too long, it would take longer to adjust.
When the eldest was one and a half years old, I sent him to a kindergarten close to home. There is a lot of outdoor activities here, and every time a child comes home from kindergarten, he is covered in mud.
German schools only have half a day of classes from elementary school to high school, and the afternoon is for fun. Whatever your child wants to play, you can find a club.
Some of the children have a wide range of interests and participate in several clubs, such as my child, who participates in tennis, table tennis, football, golf, piano, and the club of the German Association of Junior Engineers.
(Hawaii)
Regardless of family circumstances, everyone has the same opportunity to develop their own interests, because the cost of cultivating these interests is really inexpensive. Football and table tennis, the annual membership fee is only 20 euros, tennis is 10 euros an hour, and the golf junior club is 100 euros per year.
He has worked hard in his career and is now very busy as the CEO of the Asia Pacific company. In order to be able to spend time with my children in the afternoon, I decided to quit my job and devote all my passion to my family and concentrate on being a mother for a few years.
From a postdoc to a stay-at-home mother, I was a little lost at first, but my child only grows once, and I don't want to regret missing it.
My attentive companionship paid off and both children were great.
Nine-year-old Dabao taught himself chess for less than a year, and with his amateur qualifications, he made it all the way to the Japanese Chess Championship.
Under the strong recommendation of the kindergarten teacher, Erbao went to primary school a year early, and although he was the youngest child in the class, his grades were very good.
(Oktoberfest)
I am very glad that my children can grow up in an educational atmosphere of equality, respect, tolerance, inspiration, diversity and freedom in Germany. Inspired by my children's growth, I began to pay attention to German education.
Germany has a unique education system and a separate stream system. Primary school is usually four years, and in a few districts it is six.
In the second semester of the fourth year, students will take the entrance exam, and those who have good grades will enter a liberal arts high school, and then enter a university for further study.
Those with average grades will go to a practical middle school, and then they will enter a university to study practical subjects such as design, mechanical operation, and accounting.
Those with poor grades enter ordinary middle schools, and after completing 3 years of study, they receive 1-3 years of vocational training and become workers of various types of work. The remuneration of these skilled workers and talents in Germany is not low.
In the German education system, we have to mention the dual vocational education, which is considered the secret weapon of Germany's economic take-off after World War II and the economic pillar of Germany's manufacturing power.
(with parents in Paris)
As long as you have completed nine years of compulsory education and have employment needs, you must participate in dual vocational education to obtain a vocational qualification certificate, and then take up a job with a certificate.
During the dual training period, not only is the tuition fee free, but also the internship salary of the enterprise can be obtained, which is 900-1500 euros per month, increasing year by year, and you can get a salary of about 320,000 to 420,000 yuan in three years, which is enough to pay for living expenses in Germany.
Those students in China who have mediocre or poor grades, or who are dissatisfied with the current situation of life, may wish to consider changing tracks and come to Germany to learn a practical technology. After entering the company, the starting salary is often higher than that of the average college graduate because of the practical experience of skills.
There is a huge shortage of skilled personnel in Germany, especially in the fields of nursing, hotel and catering, kindergarten teachers, IT technology, electronics technicians, mechanical engineering, logistics management, etc.
(French Vineyards)
In this environment, I combined my experience and resources to create a study abroad education consulting company, which is committed to helping friends with ideals realize their dreams of studying abroad. Let more people have the opportunity to go abroad, see the bigger world, get broader development opportunities, and benefit from it, just like me.
At present, I mainly do two things, one is the German dual vocational education. Together with a senior German immigration consultant, the German Chamber of Commerce and Industry (IHK) and the German Federal Labour Office, I work with people who are interested in coming to Germany for work or further study.
I once met a student who applied for a DIY nursing dual system, and at first she asked an international student to revise her cover letter and other essays, but there was no result after the overseas application.
She was very anxious and later came to me to save the scene. I found that her writing was full of errors, most of it was in Chinese-German, and the logic did not conform to German thinking.
So, I revised all her paperwork and finally helped her apply for a training contract at the hospital, and now she has started a new chapter in her life in Germany.
(Ishihengjima, Japan)
My second entrepreneurship project is the Global PhD Study Abroad Application. As an overseas senior Ph.D. who has published dozens of international academic articles, I hope to pass on my experience to my friends who want to study for a PhD.
In the blink of an eye, I have been in Germany for 13 years. Along the way, despite the wind and rain, the lucky star still illuminates the way forward, with gratitude, joy and contentment.
Thanks to my parents, they gave me the space to fly freely and let me see a wider world. I would also like to thank my husband and family for giving me a deep sense of belonging in a foreign country.
Some people say that it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read 10,000 books. But without the guidance of books, the journey is nothing more than an empty journey.
I feel very fortunate that the fragrance of books has nourished me, and the journey has sharpened me. The experience and insight have been enriched in practice, which has helped me climb the ladder of life and made me who I am today.
A few years ago, we bought a garden villa of more than 1,000 square meters in a nearby town. It is located in a natural forest reserve, so you can enter the forest for a walk at any time.
(Rhône, France)
I like to sit on the stone steps in the garden, lie on the lawn in the sun, lean on a bench under the flower trees, or swing on the swing on the terrace. A cup of tea, a book, listen to the birds sing, watch the children laugh, watch the squirrels climb up and down, watch butterflies and bees flutter among the flowers.
The journey of life is just to play a more beautiful melody on the stage of life. Now, with continuous hard work, I have exchanged for a gorgeous picture of life in my heart.
None of this is done by providence, and I firmly believe that only unswerving efforts can open the door to the dream in my heart.
I can and so can you!
