Well after 15 years I have thrown in the towel. Wife has been back in China since 2023 and I decided a year later to move on with my life. Just a heads up to anyone considering a relationship with a Chinese woman. Mental health is a TABOO subject to them and will not be acknowledged or discussed. So do your homework and check on family history.

Hi everyone,
I'm into my 15th year in Asia (2 years in Hong Kong, 5 years in Chongqing, then 8 years back in Hong Kong). Everything's peachy, just coming up to celebrating 15 years of marriage to my wife Zhimei, having met through the infamous Chnlove. Our son is 12, studying at the same international school where I teach. Retiring in 3 year's time to the UK (for 3 years while our son finishes his Secondary school education), then proper retirement with my wife to our little house in the French countryside to raise chickens, goats, keep bees and grow vegetables.
Best of luck,
Alex

Hi all. Just thought I would drop a line here, to see if anyone was still out and about, and reading these messages?  It’s been a few years since I was here as well. Be great to hear from some of the old gang.


Mike the NY'er is now in Austin, Texas

My wife and I recently celebrated 14 years of marriage .... so that's good

Hi all.

I think many check in from time to time just to see.

...

Hey Shaun, nice to know things worked out for you,

My wife and I are still married, and chugging along, it certainly has been very bumpy

There certainly has been many changes and challenges for us.

I ended up retiring from my Engineering job, and now I teach Math and Tech.

Otherwise I am still hanging there

Mike

I have a lot of things in motion at this time but hopefully things will pan out. Like I have said before I want to expand this site to cover many more asian countries. I will be leaving soon for my second trip to the Philippines to explore my future! 8)

Hi Martin
nice to see someone coming in from time to time. the good days when there was much activity i do miss them think many now have moved on and I hope leading good lives with their Chinese wife i sure hope so, it's a pity we shall never know how things have turned out for many, I do have a friend who was a member here unfortunately he died. 
As for me everything is good and my wife is doing well, I'm retired now we hope the future will be back in Chengdu. fingers crossed
regards Joe

well, thought I would come in and see what doing. Unfortunately, nothing happening well for a long time at that. which is sad, furthermore changing times with the world economy work and immigration is one hell of a road and expensive, maybe most of us in this group were lucky when we started our journeys to meet a Chinese lady and travelling to China with valuable input from the member's postings most of the time looking back were memorable.
maybe this is the end of the road. I shall continue until the end of the year and keep popping in  maybe to see if there are any postings if not it will be the end for me but not without memories It is a shame was an excellent and honest forum .cheers guys

Martin,

I'm pretty good.  My wife has been here almost 2 years.  I've been battling cancer but we're making great strides and I'm cancer free right now after surgery. But we are staying on top of it testing and watching.  My business is growing a lot right now having just added our second store.  We're not stopping but we're pushing through.  Check us out on Facebook.  The Blade Guyz.  Follow us there too to help build my statistics.

Shaun
