My name is Zhang Xiaowu, from Guizhou , 44 years old, has lived in Russia for 17 years, married two wives, and gave birth to three mixed-race children.
htmlIn the 1990s, I graduated from a college and could find a very good job at that time. However, I did not plan to find a permanent job. Instead, I went to Haikou City and spent 6 years there. I thought that like many people who went south to work hard, they would have a successful career and a harmonious family, but in fact it was not easy to make money in that era.After discovering my own shortcomings, I began to learn foreign languages by myself. Instead of choosing English, I learned Russian. This was not considered promising at the time. After all, around 2000, more people went to European and American countries, but fewer people went to Russia. And little.
However, when I was 28 years old, I went to Russia with only more than 40,000 yuan to work hard. I didn’t expect that after working here for several years, I would become famous, not only marry a wife and have children, but also have my own career. This also made me see To the hope of life. In life, miracles will always occur through hard work, and how long this miracle can last depends entirely on the individual.
In the first month of 1978, I was born in a small town in Pan County, Liupanshui City, Guizhou Province. My father was a well-known livestock dealer in the town, and my mother was a housewife. There were four children in the family who were waiting for food, and my parents maintained a family through their own efforts. human life.
I am the youngest child in the family, and also the most naughty one. I have liked to go to the house and chase the dogs and chickens since I was a child. The neighbors are also very resentful, but my father is capable and many people are not willing to offend me. So my growth process , was carried out under the protection of my father and was not subject to much control.
During my childhood, my brothers and sisters were very sensible and tolerant of my shortcomings, especially my eldest sister. My eldest sister is like my mother and my eldest brother is like my father. My elder brothers and sisters naturally shouldered the responsibility of the family, but I was free and did not need anything. No matter what, you just need to take care of yourself and have enough food and clothing.
At that time, my family still farmed a little bit of land, which was basically taken care of by my mother and brothers and sisters. My father was doing business outside all year round and rarely did farm work at home. As I grew up, I began to resent my father and felt that he I was lazy and left all the dirty and hard work to my mother, but my mother didn't take it seriously and felt that these things were what she should do. Men are also very tired when they work hard outside.
A good wife and mother may be a woman like my mother. She understands her husband well, is good at taking care of others, works hard and never complains, and never cares about whether her father is right or wrong.
When I was fourteen or fifteen years old, my father went to Shaanxi and Shanxi to do business, and I was also very eager for the outside world, so I discussed with my honest and honest brother whether we could take a train to Shaanxi to see my father and see the big cities. What does it look like. My brother readily agreed, but at that time he had never traveled far and had no travel expenses. As a result, he failed to go to Shaanxi and ended up in Guangzhou, where he was almost deceived by bad guys.
Fortunately, the police sent us back to our hometown. From then on, my father became more and more strict with me and would not let me go anywhere. My brother knew his mistake well and was unwilling to do things with me no matter what.
In adolescence, people are rebellious, face-saving, and ignorant of the world.
At this time, I was thinking about studying hard, studying in a big city, and marrying a city wife. For this reason, starting from high school, I consciously took my studies seriously, and my grades improved slowly. , but after all, his foundation was weak, and he could only get into one college in the end.
However, this is a great news for my parents, because of the four children in our family, I am the only one who can go to college, and I am the only college student in the village. My parents felt happy and felt that I had given them a boost, and I was also complacent, feeling that I could do anything and would definitely have a bright future.
Three years of junior college has indeed raised a new level of understanding of one's own life. As graduation approaches, everyone is thinking about entering a factory or asking their parents to help find a job. But I have no background and can only rely on my own efforts. Go and work hard. In the late 1990s, everyone still wanted to develop in the south, but I set my goal in Haikou City.
When I first arrived in Haikou, because I had no support, I randomly found a job selling houses. This job is very important to me, but after four months of hard work, I didn't sell a house, so I thought about giving up. , because you can’t even eat enough, how can you persevere?
There is a star hotel that is recruiting reserve cadres, and I feel that I am a college student after all, and I will definitely succeed, so I apply for the job with confidence. Although I got the job, it is no different from ordinary waiters. The only difference is that there are more waiters than waiters. The salary is 200 yuan, but I am very content. At least I have food and shelter, and I can save some money.
In this hotel, I met a lot of foreigners, but I could only speak a few words of broken English, which was not enough for an experience. In the end, I decided to learn a foreign language, not English, but Russian. Because I received a Russian once at that time, and I felt that Russian girls were very good-looking, with strong three-dimensional facial features and tall bodies. I was thinking, if I go to Russia in the future, can I find a Russian wife?
studied by myself for more than two years and felt that it was time for me to change my way of life. At that time, I saved more than 40,000 yuan and told my parents that I was going to a foreign country. They were surprised, but they were surprised by my eclectic way of doing things. , my parents didn’t understand, so they didn’t stop it.
arrived in Russia and spent more than three months before starting a business. At first, it was just a small business. There was no shortage of flour here. I opened a small restaurant and cooked meals from my hometown. Unexpectedly, there were not many local people in Moscow. Chinese restaurants, and my small restaurant was very popular, which also brought me the first pot of gold, and also gave me the honor to meet my first wife Ivana .
Ivana is not as beautiful as everyone imagined, and her family background is not good either. Her ex-father-in-law is an alcoholic and suffers from domestic violence. , but Ivana is pretty good, especially after we decide When I got married, I was very supportive, but my life after marriage was not satisfactory. Ivana was a very controlling woman. She was very strict with my food, clothing, housing, and transportation, and whenever she was unhappy, she would drink like her father, even if We had kids and it was still the same, and eventually I decided to get divorced.
After the divorce, my career went to a higher level. Not only did I open an international trading company, but I also owned my own estate. The person who helped me the most in my career was Mikhailova, who later became my 's second wife.
In our tenth year in Russia, the 38-year-old me married the 26-year-old Mikhailova. Unlike her ex-wife, Mikhailova had a gentle personality and was well-educated. Although she had not gone to university, she He is well-educated and has a good family atmosphere.
In the seven years since our marriage, we have had a son and a daughter, and we are very happy. We treat the children we had with my ex-wife as if they were our own, and I am really grateful.
has been working hard for 17 years, and misses his family even more during the holidays, but it is not easy to leave, and it is even harder to go back. After all, the foundation he has built up over the years is in Russia, and he cannot leave for a while. After this epidemic, I feel that returning to China has become a top priority, and our whole family is also preparing for this. The children are learning Chinese and understanding the five thousand years of Chinese culture. My wife is also studying in college, and we are peaceful. The atmosphere made me feel the warmth and love of home. Maybe only those who work hard deserve to have such a happy life.
