:arrow: ...recently I viewed a documentary about a young Chinese girl who went to work on a river boat. She cried herself to sleep at night because her coworkers had several nicknames relating to her supposed darker complexion. It would seem that those who grow up working on the farm and in the sun daily-along with other factors, have darker skin. The same slants were used in Victorian Europe to label "commoners". This whole discussion of skin tones is getting to be quite boring. I have never seen a yellow person.
Wow, I am a bit surprised by the post from Froseman! I have been in the wings of these forums for quite sometime. (Hey I can't wait for the "scam" section.) Anyway, I am sorry to read about your experiences with the China Love Bridge Agency. I to am of mixed race ancestry, and have not had any direct implications due to race (there is one young lady shut our relationship down after, I suspect her parents saw my picture) So when I read your post I had to comment. Peter had already had me in his blog about his marriage, and about Changsha. I have been communicating with a young lady from Changsha. Is it just me, but does Changsha have ALL the beautiful ladies? (Just my opinion of course) I hope that I do not have any bad experiences with this current young lady or CLB. Her letters to me are OK I guess, and we seem to be getting closer. So plans are underway for her and this agency to accommodate a visit from me later this year. Again, your post scares me as I have a few out of Changsha and CLB, that I might write to if this one does not work out. I know, but I've several admirers from Changsha and this agency. Coincidence? Tonight I only see Purple and Gold vs the Red and White, Go Lakers!
Froseman, Thank You very much for the information and I wish you the best! As a matter fact, Thanks to all of you, I am glad to be apart of the "brotherhood".
Anthony, you to had a wonderful post. I might be contacting you via private messaging. I live in the Megalopolis, maybe we can get together. I would love to talk to you about my trip later this year. I will be going to Beijing and Shanghai, after I leave Changsha.
I have not yet asked my friend any questions about my ethnicity, but I assume she is OK with it. I also assume that her parents are aware as well as they are very close. Only time will tell. I like her, she was my last attempt on China Love for this year, as I was going to stop and save a few bucks and a little pride until next year.
I have never attempted anything like this in my life. Trying to meet someone in the "cloud" is truly uncharted territory. Like many of you, I have no problem with meeting women, but for me it was and is time to expand the limits of my physical world and navigate the horizons. I am headed east.
