James, I shared the same concerns when Sunny came here to live in Ireland. She was originally from the countryside but her family moved to Guangzhou. She told me she never wants to live in the countryside again, even though I told here it was something I'd really like to do.
The suburbs of Dublin, Ireland are not exactly a metropolis to say the least.
So how did it go?
Yes she was really home sick for a while. But she can webcam with her family back home (her sister is a little younger and can use a computer fine). You did the right thing by getting her folks set up with one, it really will make things easier for her.
She is coming to be with you, her husband. The man she has committed herself to, that is the most important thing. Chinese women are mentally very strong I think and very passionate about family and you are now family, all else is secondary.
Be nice to her, try and find if there are any good Chinese stores withing an hour or so driving distance so she can stock up on supplies. bring her to a good Chinese restaurant where she will tell you the food isn't as good as back home, but she will appreciate the gesture big time.
Most of all be patient, let her find her way and if she doesn't want to leave the house for a week or two that's fine. Let her get settled in to her new home ,she will probably want to move everything around to the "right" place - do it with a smile
When she is ready do some sightseeing, everything is going to be a bit of a culture shock to her so take it slow, this is a marathon you entered not a sprint.
All the best!
