Hi guys and girls, Got an e,mail from my brother-in-law in China, It turns out that back in May last year my wife told her family that she had me a westerner on-line and she had grown quite fond of him, (me of course), Anyway, The whole family told her to sever contact with me as they dead against their daughter being taken by the lies of a bad westerner, I guess that they had heard many bad stories about us round eyes, She put the family at ease and told them all that she would never contact me again.
She had never told me of their concerns and secretly kept in daily contact with me and our relationship blossomed to what it is today, It was after a few days together in Beijing when her father called her to find out that she secretly met me against their knowledge and he was furious with her and ordered her back home, Last night i asked her why she went against the family wishes and her answer was that she did not want to loose me at any cost.
The email from the brother also stated that after we first met and she returned home the whole family could see a change in her happiness and she became a lot more communicative with the whole family, She would talk about me to them every day and show them the letters that i would send her and also show them the many daily text messages too, It was after reading these that the family could see that i was genuinely in love with MinYing and they wanted to meet with me.
The letter also read that they were very touched about the way i treat her as in opening doors for her and seating her at the table first and also taking her to many parts of China as she always wanted to travel but her ex-husband would refuse to take her anywhere,
They are even surprised at the amount of affection she shows to me as we all know that Chinese women are not ones to show much affection to their partners when in public or even when family are present.
Here we are now mid August and we have been on QQ every day for the last seven weeks or so for about 3 hours each day and sometimes when she is not working we spend seven or eight hours daily, We have nearly nine hundred pages of recorded conversation so far, Daily contact is great and not so lonely any-more, My children are only too eager to get in on the conversations every day and my wife's friends often come to her apartment to say hello to me also, I even found out that her two best friends were totally against her to have a relationship with the (bad westerner), Now their attitudes have turned around and looking forward to my return, One of her best friends is to be married on 10-09 this year and has invited me to her wedding, So here goes trip number four, I have booked my flight and will join my wife on the ninth of September until the eighteenth.
The friends and especially the family are eager for me to return and the family have insisted that we stay in the family home again, (time to gain weight again).
The visa is under way and the case officer has asked for a little more proof of daily contact in the form of emails and QQ chat which is on its way to Shanghai now, I sent about 200 emails and around 140 pages of QQ chat records and my two latest phone bills with proof of the daily "good morning" phone calls and records of the 500 or so text messages from the last two months, ( i know i sound a bit obsessive with the phone calls and texts but wtf), Any way she is excited about my return as i am too so Handan here i come again, Lloyd (ifputman3) will be in Handan at the same time and we are hoping to meet up at restaurant or something and chew the fat so to speak.
Friday is the day that she takes her two sons to Beijing for their "non migrating " medicals and then my Immigration lawyer tells me that the next step will be the interview, Trip number five is is to take place on the twenty second of December for a month and fingers crossed i will be able to bring my bride home with me but i will not hold my breath, I will depart Beijing on the 18th of September which is one year to the exact date i first put my feet on Chinese soil, This last year has flown by, It seems like yesterday that i first met MinYing in Beijing and every day together is still so fresh in my memory, The first time i saw her face, The first touch, The first kiss, The first time i heard her laugh.
Gerry, Yes the heavy dose of endorphins have kicked in again ,he he, Well guys i have to close now because someone has just come on line to QQ chat from her mobile phone, She checks to see if i am on-line every-time she has a quiet time at work, Her message is , lao gong, wo deng ni .
buy guys and girls,,MinYing and John .
