British nobles gathered at Buckingham Palace
Hello everyone, I am Lantai.
Today, Lantai will talk to you about a relatively relaxed topic.
Do you know how many women in China have married European aristocrats from , from the founding of New China to 2022?
The answer is quite surprising. From 1949 to 2022, in 73 years, only two Chinese women married European nobles.
Before entering the main text, Lantai first clarified a rumor that is not considered a rumor: Although the former Danish princess Wen Yali can be considered Chinese, before she married Prince Joachim of Denmark, she received a British passport; therefore, Wen Yali can be regarded as the first Asian princess in European history, but she cannot be regarded as the first Chinese woman to marry a European aristocrat.

And although Wen Yali was born in Hong Kong and stayed in Hong Kong until she graduated from high school before going to the University of Vienna, Austria, since she received typical British education since she was a child, although she has 1/8 of Chinese descent, Wen Yali herself is not very good at speaking Cantonese, let alone Mandarin.
Moreover, although Wen Yali's two sons, Prince Nichola and Prince Felix, were both born in Hong Kong, Wen Yali did not allow them to receive any Chinese education.
In addition, in 2005, Wen Yali and Prince Joachim had divorced, but her mother-in-law, , the Queen of Denmark, liked her very much, and she still retained the title of , Countess Frederiburg, .
So, as of 2022, there are only two Chinese women who marry European nobles.
Lin Xiaojing and her husband, Eighth Earl Pason
01, Tianjin "Sister" married Irish Earl in 2004, becoming the first Chinese woman to marry European aristocrats
To say that the first woman to marry European aristocrats in the history of New China, then it should be Tianjin "Sister" Lin Xiaojing. Why is it called "sister"? Because people in Tianjin are used to calling all women "sister". From 90 to 6 years old, they are all "sisters".
Before telling the story of Lin Xiaojing's love, Lantai will first explain to you that although Ireland had announced the abolition of the aristocratic system when the Republic of Ireland was founded in 1949, this does not mean that the Irish government deprived the title and property of the nobles who had lived in Ireland before.
The Irish government still respects the titles and property of the nobles living in Ireland, but the Irish government no longer recognizes the new noble titles and abolishes the privileges of the nobles. In fact, the Irish nobles had no privileges at that time.
At the same time, in the UK, the title of Irish noble will still be recognized, although of a courteous nature. What does
mean?
means that if an Irish nobleman passes his aristocratic title to his son/family member, then the British royal family will recognize his aristocratic status, but that's all, he cannot enjoy any British aristocratic privileges. (Although there is no privilege)
Lin Xiaojing is at home in Ireland
Next Lantai will introduce Lin Xiaojing's love story to you.
Lin Xiaojing is a native Tianjin girl. Her father is an engineer at a state-owned factory in Tianjin, and her mother has no job.
From this point of view, Lin Xiaojing's family background was not particularly good, because according to the situation at that time, the biggest possibility that her mother had no job was that her mother had a rural household registration in the suburbs of Tianjin, so she was unable to be assigned to her job.
It is precisely because it is difficult for rural household registration to get a stable job in the city, so urban residents with slightly acceptable conditions generally rarely look for rural residents to be their own partner.
Lin Xiaojing was admitted to after graduating from high school. Although Tianjin University of Finance and Economics is neither 985 nor 211 at present, in terms of the university admission rate in the 1990s, Lin Xiaojing was able to be admitted to Tianjin University of Finance and Economics in Tianjin, which at least shows that she is still very serious and hardworking in her studies.
After Lin Xiaojing graduated from university, she first worked in accounting for her major. However, after working for a while, she was extroverted and cheerful and thought that accounting work was not suitable for her, so she decisively resigned and changed several jobs. Later, she worked in a large-scale real estate company in Beijing.
While working, she met a foreign colleague in her company, who later her husband Bao Bode, whose real name was Patrick Pason; Bao Bode was the Chinese name he gave herself.
Ireland's eighth Earl Pason
Lin Xiaojing and Bao Bode's love story is by no means a common story of the wealthy European noble brother and Tianjin Cinderella.
or the fact is just the opposite. Lin Xiaojing's income is much higher than Bao Bode. Lin Xiaojing was really moved by Bao Bode's sincerity and kindness.
Later in an interview, Lin Xiaojing said that the reason she accepted Bao Bode was because although he was usually very frugal, he looked like a "trash white man" who had no ability to make a living in China (it was not the original words, but that's what it means), but he could give all the money on him to an old man who lost his wallet and was homeless and could only beg on the pedestrian overpass.
It was Bao Bode's kindness that touched Lin Xiaojing.
At first, Lin Xiaojing did not think that her love with Bao Bode would have a result. Firstly, Lin Xiaojing was ready to study in Australia, and secondly, she felt that with Bao Bode's financial conditions, he probably never thought about getting married.
Unexpectedly, when he heard that Lin Xiaojing was going to study in Australia, Bao Bode immediately bought a ring and proposed to Lin Xiaojing.
and also took Lin Xiaojing back to Ireland to meet his parents. When Lin Xiaojing arrived in Ireland, he realized that Bao Bode was born in the Pason family in Ireland, and the Pason family was the Count of the Queen of England , and Bao Bode was the eighth generation of Pason Count.
House Pason family owns the largest private castle in Ireland - Bill Castle. Since its completion in 1620, the Pason family has lived in Bill Castle, and the indoor area of the entire castle is as high as 6,000 square meters.

In 2004, Lin Xiaojing and Patrick Pason, the eighth-generation Earl of Pason, held a wedding in Beijing. The two lived in Beijing until 2015 before returning to Ireland.
and Lin Xiaojing also became the first Irish Countess since the founding of New China.
Li Ran and her husband Charles
02. A farmer girl from Guangdong married to become the first Chinese princess
In addition to Tianjin's "sister" Lin Xiaojing, Li Ran, who was born in Wuhua County, Meizhou, Guangdong, is a princess in New China.
is still the same rule. Before introducing Li Ran’s love story, let’s first introduce the situation of her husband, Linie’s family.
Line family is one of the oldest aristocratic families in Belgium , but some people say that the history of the Line family is longer than the current Belgian royal family, which is nonsense.
Although the Kingdom of Belgium was established in 1831, the Belgian royal family came from the royal family of Saxony Coburg Gotha, and the history is far from the Bilne family.
The title of "Prince" of the Lyne family can be simply and roughly understood as "Prince of Honor" or "Enjoy the treatment of a prince".
Because Holy Roman Empire is actually a very loose alliance of many small priests, the emperors were voted by the great nobles of the Holy Roman Empire, so the emperors of the Holy Roman Empire were very generous in giving titles. For officials who he likes a little, the Holy Roman Emperor will give them titles such as "Prince of Honor", "Duke of Honor" and so on.

The Ligne family is even worse, and there is no family fiefdom. Currently, there is only one "prince title" recognized by the Belgian royal family.
In other words, the male members of the Lini family can indeed be called "The Prince", so there is no legal problem in calling Ms. Li Ran the princess. She is really the princess.
Li Ran was born in Wuhua County, Meizhou, Guangdong in 1984.
Li Ran has been a top student since he was a child. He passed the junior high school entrance examination from the county middle school and was admitted to Guangdong key middle school Huizhou No. 1 Middle School .
Lantai High School also studied in a provincial key middle school, and some of the classmates also entered the school from the county town. It can be said that if they cannot become the top three in the county middle school entrance examination, it will be difficult to enter the provincial key high school.
Li Ran and her husband Prince Charles
Li Ran was admitted to Beijing Language and Culture University after graduating from high school. Don’t think that Beijing Language and Culture University is not 211 or 985.
You should know that the minimum admission score for Beijing Language and Culture University in Guangdong in 2022 is 579, while the first-tier line in Guangdong is only 532 points.
Li Ran taught himself French at university. After graduating from university, he flew to France to study and finally obtained a MBA degree from the Paris Higher Management Institute.
After graduating from the Paris Institute of Higher Management, Li Ran first worked as an intern in the Givenchy store for one year. Later, she worked as a salesperson in two top luxury brand stores, Balenciaga and Fendi.
It was when Fendi was in sales and she met her husband, Prince Charles, who was born in the Leni family.
After the two dated for a year and a half, Charles proposed to Li Ran.
Although Charles is just a side branch of the Lyne family, it has to be said that he still legally holds the title of "prince", so his wife Li Ran is indeed an absolute "prince".
Li Ran and her husband
And since Prince Charles's brother Prince Edward currently gives birth to daughters, the son Charles and Li Ran is likely to become the next generation head of the Lini family and become the Prince Lini of Chinese ancestry.
If there really is that day, then this will be the first European prince with Chinese descent in history.
