Hey, everyone, today I'm going to tell you a shocking story, which is definitely more exciting than a bloody drama. In this 5A-level scenic spot in the ancient city of Kashgar, imagine a small café where handsome Xinjiang guys and beautiful African girls are busy.
You're hearing African girls, I kid you not, it's a real scene in May 2023.
At the door of this store, there is a post-90s Xinjiang young man Dilishati and his Tanzanian wife Haidia.
"Welcome!" Dilishati greeted her warmly in standard Mandarin, Haidia greeted her warmly in an exotic Uyghur accent, and the cute baby giggled happily in her parents' arms.
Curious babies may ask, how did the couple meet? Why did you run to Kashgar to open a café? Don't worry, let me tell you slowly.
The meeting of these two people is simply the result of fate.
Dilishati is a well-known scholar. In 2013, he was admitted to Fuzhou University with excellent results, and his parents were very happy about it.
Haidia is a Tanzanian student studying at Fujian Medical University.
The story of these two people is quite interesting.
Ladies and gentlemen, let's go back in time, back in 2013, 18-year-old Dilishati came to Fuzhou University from his hometown in Xinjiang with a dream.
As an ethnic minority student, he did not dare to take it lightly, and worked diligently every day, either soaking in the library or working outside the home, for fear that he would not be able to meet his family's expectations.
Who would have thought that the so-called fate would be hidden in the cafeteria of a medical university not far from the school! One day in 2016, Dilishati went to the cafeteria to eat as usual, only to find that the seats were full.
When we were worried, we saw a vacant seat next to three African girls, and our little brother Dili plucked up the courage to sit down.
After such a hurried meal, Dilishati met Hydia from Tanzania. Although it was just a casual conversation at the time, this quiet African girl made a deep impression on Dilishati's heart.
Fate comes as it comes. Soon after, the two schools held a friendly basketball match, and Dilishati played as a varsity player.
At halftime, guess who brought him water? That's right, it's Hydia! This scene was seen by many students, and it immediately caused a commotion.
Dilishati was in a particularly happy mood, but he was afraid to show it too obviously.
After half a year of contact and getting along, the two finally exchanged songs and became more familiar. The two often eat and go out together, and their relationship gradually deepens.
Every time Dilishati went to the school to look for Hydia, she could always be seen waiting quietly, and when she saw him, she would run over happily.
But that's okay, brothers, don't rejoice too soon, stay calm.
When he graduated in 2017, Dilishati held back tears and separated from Hydia. Hydia has one more year of school.
It was the first time that Hydia had embraced Dilishati in front of so many people, and although a smile hung on the corner of her mouth, Dilishati knew how painful she was inside.
This is not to be punished.
Dear dear babies, our story tells the twists and turns of Di Lixia's decision to confess this relationship to her parents after returning to Xinjiang.
At that time, our family's financial situation was very tight, because the family was renovating the house. But without saying a word, Dilishati's father asked his brother to go back to his hometown and sell 20 sacks of wheat flour, and then gave all the money to Dilishati.
With the blessing of his parents and the money he received in exchange for 20 bags of wheat, Dilishati returned to Fujian to accompany Hydia to complete her final year of study.
In 2018, Haidia successfully graduated, but according to the regulations, she had to return to China for a year of internship to get a doctor's certificate.
However, our Hydia is not one to change her mind easily, she has always kept her promise and waited for Dilishati.
In October 2019, Hydia was thrilled to finally obtain her coveted medical certificate. After that, he immediately discussed with his family about going to China to get married.
Hedia's father loved his daughter deeply and was very cautious about his daughter's marriage. So he told Hedia: "Marrying far away brings a lot of instability, and if you stay in the country, we can take care of you."
But Hydia stuck to her choice, hoping to get her father's support.
In the end, Heidia's father respected his daughter's decision.
In January 2020, Hydia finally set off for China. However, the weather is unpredictable, coinciding with the outbreak of the epidemic. Even so, Heidia said firmly: "It's all ready, ready to go." "
On January 29, Hydia flew to China to meet with Dilishati.
This courage and determination moved people to tears! Think about it, a foreign girl flew to China alone in order to be with her beloved, not afraid of the risk of the epidemic!
Due to the epidemic prevention and control, the two families can only hold their wedding online. What? Online weddings? That's right, you can watch the bride and groom's wedding live on your phone in real time! Although it was not possible to meet in this way, it did not affect everyone's joy.
Dilishati was a very caring man, and in order to abide by Chinese customs, he used his hard-earned money to give a bride price to Haidiya.
On the day of the wedding, Dilishati had a video call with Hydia's father, and his father-in-law said something moving: "I have always felt that it was my responsibility to take care of Hydia, and from now on, I will leave this responsibility to you."
On May 20, the transnational lovers finally received their marriage certificate, and their exotic love has since become a love in the same city, working and living together in Fujian.
Over the past two years, they have supported each other and grown together. Haidia found a job as a doctor in Fuzhou, while Dilishati started a new career at a new media operating company.
Although daily life may seem unpretentious, it is full of endless sweetness and warmth.
However, accidents always happen suddenly. When Hydia was 6 months pregnant, the two decided to quit their jobs at the same time and return to Kashgar to give birth.
Because of this decision, their lives began to develop in a new direction.
Guess what's going on? Heidia's father named his grandson "Ismaili". What? Why is the name so Chinese? It turned out to be in memory of one of his good brothers.
After having a child, the focus of the couple's lives changed. In order to take care of their children and have a stable career, they decided to start their own business.
Hedia is not a simple girl, she not only knows coffee, but also makes desserts and juices. While visiting the ancient city of Kashgar, they found that the local coffee and desserts were very popular, so Haidia and Hajar hit it off and came up with the idea of opening a café.
Just do it! After some searching, they finally rented a small shop of more than 50 square meters in the ancient city of Kashgar.
Despite the difficulties encountered during the opening of the store, the two supported each other and welcomed the opening of the store in May 2023.
Just one month after opening, the café was a hit! Many people were attracted by the story of this multinational couple and came to check in and support.
Dilishati and Hydia are busy every day, but they are always smiling and full of happiness.
Hydia said that Kashgar made a very good impression on her and that she liked the city very much. Doing what you love at a café every day is both relaxing and happy.
Seeing his wife full of joy, Dilishati was both relieved and satisfied.
In the future, they have a small dream: to introduce some African coffee beans and let more people know about African culture.
Starting from Fuzhou, passing through Tanzania, and finally arriving in Kashgar, they traveled halfway around the world! The love of this couple is like traveling the world! Their love is not only sincere to each other, but also supported by the support of their families.
In this small café in the ancient city of Kashgar, the aroma of coffee is strong, and the intoxicating love story wafts through it.
This is not only the happiness of Dilishati and Hydia, but also a vivid portrayal of China-Africa cultural exchanges.
