For the world, you are just a person, to me, you are my world, and neither borders nor race can stop me from loving you.
African girl Milan , traveling thousands of miles to China to realize her dream for her father. In a foreign land thousands of miles away, Milan met him, a man who lived alone with his daughter. Sometimes fate is so wonderful. Milan married him without hesitation and became a Chaoshan daughter-in-law. Their happiness began from then on.
African girl who fulfilled her dream for her father
Milan's hometown is in distant West Africa Ghana, and Milan, who grew up in Africa, was influenced by her father. She yearned for China, an ancient Eastern country thousands of miles away since childhood.
jingdezhen's porcelain, Great Wall , Terracotta Warriors and Horses ... Countless nights, Milan leaned against his father's chest, listening to his father talk about China's culture and history and fell asleep. 's seeds of yearning for Chinese culture quietly sprouted under the influence of his father over time.
Milan and her father agreed that when she grows to seventeen, they will go to realize the Chinese dream together. Unfortunately, all the beauty cannot withstand the teasing of fate.
When Milan was seven years old, my father relapsed due to an old disease and failed rescue and left forever.
The father's departure put the whole family's life in a dilemma. In order to reduce the burden on the family, Milan, like her brother and sister, started half-working and half-studying as soon as she turned 16, and supported herself.
In addition to supporting herself when working to make money, she also has a dream, that is, her agreement with her father, that in her lifetime, she must go to China once to see what the real China looks like.
During that time, Milan's spare time was filled with various part-time jobs. On the road to realizing her dream, she was more determined than anyone else.
When Milan's bank card had a deposit of 10,000 yuan, she began her trip to China.
When the international flight landed in China, Milan's eyes became wet. She looked around the scenes that were both strange and familiar around her, and said affectionately to the blue sky: "Dad, we are in China."
Milan always believed that in the dark, her father's love never left her, and she could fully feel the same joy from her father.
When I first arrived in China, Milan climbed Great Wall and saw the Terracotta Warriors, but I didn’t go to Jingdezhen. That was my father’s last wish to go to Jingdezhen to make a cup with his own name engraved for every family member as a gift for returning home.
During the trip, Milan discovered that China in real life is far more attractive than what she knew through the media. This ancient country far away in the mysterious East made her plan to stay, and she did not want to return to China immediately.
In 2008, Milan became an African student in Xi'an, China.
Although in a foreign land, Milan can deeply feel the enthusiasm and kindness of ordinary Chinese people.
At an event, Milan and an aunt around her hit it off at first sight. Soon, this kind aunt became her first godmother after coming to China.
The difference in race and blood did not stop the selfless love of Chinese godmother for Milan. For the first time, she felt the long-lost maternal love on a foreign land.
During my study in China, Milan's living expenses and tuition fees were earned by working on their own. Once they stopped working, it meant that their living and tuition fees were lost.
Once, Milan was sick and hospitalized, and had to stop working part-time outside. She lost her source of income and seemed extremely anxious. Seeing that the tuition for the new semester was not yet settled, she could not resume work immediately, so she had to ask the school for help, hoping to pay the tuition for a delay. Surprisingly, she was told that the tuition had been paid by a woman.
It turned out that my godmother, who had been taking care of Milan in the hospital, accidentally learned about the difficulties her African daughter encountered. In order to avoid embarrassment, she secretly ran to the school to pay the tuition for Milan.
Since then, every time she recorded a program, Milan would always choke up for a long time when she mentioned her godmother. This selfless maternal love between race has become the source of motivation for her to bravely pursue her dreams in China.
Relying on their own efforts and the help of many Chinese friends, Milan has realized its dream of becoming an actor and singer in China. " Avenue of Stars ", "Spring Festival Gala"... More and more Chinese people have begun to meet this cheerful and lively African girl through media platforms.
Meet love
2019, because of a joke, Milan met her Chinese husband Xie Jun.
Before meeting Milan, Xie Jun had a failed marriage. Due to some misunderstandings, his ex-wife left him and his daughter less than 20 days after giving birth. In the days that followed, Xie Jun took his daughter to depend on each other. He was disheartened about his marriage life. For a long time, he was unwilling to touch the taboos of feelings in his heart.
When I first added WeChat, Milan did not have much hope for this foreign love. After all, the two are separated by thousands of miles, and there are huge differences in family background and culture. Milan is worried that the other party will judge people by their appearance. In order to test Xie Jun's sincerity, she often sends her ugly photos, or even bald photos. The love she believes in is the exchange of hearts, not superficial appearance.
Xie Jun's focus was not on the other party's photos at all. On the contrary, he felt that this African girl had a very interesting soul. Chatting with her made him feel very happy, and he could even speak freely, and there were no obstacles in communication.
He talked to her about China's history, Chaoshan tea culture and his baby daughter. She listened quietly, as if she was back to the scenes of her childhood lying on her father's chest and listening to stories.
Facing the relationship again, Xie Jun’s biggest concern was his daughter, so at the beginning of the relationship between the two, he did not intend to hide his daughter’s existence. Unexpectedly, Milan not only did not dislike him, but also took the initiative to ask to see his daughter’s photos.
When Milan received a photo of Xie Jun styling his daughter with his own hands, he was completely shocked.
She has never seen a father dress up for her daughter so carefully. Milan can experience Xie Jun’s deep fatherly love for her daughter, and she can also feel that the man on the other end of WeChat is the ideal partner she is looking for in this life, a considerate, careful, filial and family-oriented man.
A month later, Milan and Xie Jun officially established a romantic relationship. She declared to Xie Jun on WeChat: "Don't run, you are the person I'm looking for."
Finally saw you
On April 7, 2019, the flight Milan took landed at Jieyang Airport. Along the way, she was both excited and nervous. Through the glass of the airport, Milan saw Xie Jun walking towards her with her daughter.
"anti" girl gave Milan a warm hug at her father's instructions, which instantly melted her heart.
In the car home, Xie Jun asked his daughter tentatively: "Will this anti-be your mother in the future?"
The girl looked at Milan shyly and said with a smile: "Okay, but if you become my mother in the future, you are not allowed to scold your father, don't beat your father, be nice to your father!"
Faced with her little daughter's sensibility, Milan felt inexplicable heartache in her heart. She hugged her daughter's delicate body and said happily: "Don't worry, your father is my husband. I will love him forever and love you forever."
Xie Jun looked at Milan with satisfaction from the rearview mirror, who was full of pampering and hugging her daughter, and showed a long-lost smile.
Soon, the car stopped at Xie Jun's doorstep. Milan's heart that had just been relieved was instantly lifted up.
However, Milan's worries were instantly dispelled the moment the Xie family's door was pushed open.
What Milan never expected was that all the people who greeted her in the Xie family came to her one by one and gave her a big hug.
China, which uses handshake as a normal way of communication, has received social etiquette from the West.
Xie's family's enthusiasm dispelled Milan's concerns, and she even felt like she was going back home from a business trip.
After chatting with Milan for 3 hours, before Milan left, Xie's father actually began to remind his son to take good care of Milan and not to let down his deep affection.
In May 2019, at the opportunity when the Milan visa expired soon, Xie Jun took the initiative to request marriage.
After repeated considerations, Xie Jun secretly did the ideological work of his family and set the wedding in his hometown in Milan.
Milan was as happy as a child for her husband's enlightened decision. She called her African mother overnight to report the good news.
In Ghana, West Africa, Xie Jun changed into traditional costumes from his hometown of Milan and completed a foreign wedding banquet that spans thousands of miles.
Jia Baoyu and his foreign country " Lin Meimei "
Xie Jun played the role of Jia Baoyu in the Shantou Drama Troupe before he met Milan. In real life, his Lin Meimei is a pistachio with independent thoughts and cheerful personality.
In Xie Jun's eyes, Milan can often tolerate his temper in his married life.
Compared with Xie Jun, Milan left home to work at the age of 16 and relied on her own, and developed her personality of being calm in dealing with things. Many times, Milan is much calmer than him and has a broader mind. With years of experience working alone outside, she can often use great wisdom to look at the difficulties encountered in life, and she also seems very mature in handling interpersonal relationships.
Through Milan's social media account, you can see that she is still vivid and beautiful, looking very beautiful and charming.
On June 3, 2021, Milan attended a private dinner. Because of her fame, someone enthusiastically expressed her desire to sing with her for accompanimental dances, and Milan satisfied the other party.
In fact, before marrying Xie Jun, Milan spent the Spring Festival in China in the backstage of the Spring Festival Gala and various evening parties. Since getting married, Milan will go back to Jieyang with Xie Jun to celebrate the festival with her mother-in-law and father-in-law.
Now, she has adapted to the customs of Chinese families, accompanied her mother-in-law to make cakes, drink tea, sing Chao Opera , and become a authentic Chaoshan daughter-in-law; in March 2022, the Milan family took the high-speed rail and couldn't wait to return to their hometown in Jieyang, with big bags and small bags in her hand as gifts to their family.
Waiting to the home of my parents-in-law, Milan and her daughter sang and danced together, looking very happy and excited. On the sofa, there were gifts such as Pu'er , red dates, wolfberry, etc. that they took back from.
Unfortunately, Milan originally wanted to take her husband and daughter back to Ghana, but due to the epidemic, she had to suspend it.
Milan friends are very sure of her current life. Everyone is happy for the Milan family. This girl who loves China finally took root in China and became a Chinese wife.
She spoke fluent Chinese, tasting Chinese tea, and making friends with Chinese friends.
On the Chongqing TV program, Milan joined hands with her husband and daughter to take the stage.
On the stage, she proudly told everyone that her mother taught her to be filial to her elders, and listening to her husband's various details about their love, Milan's eyes were full of emotion.
"What I like most is when the baby called me my mother for the first time." Milan told everyone affectionately, "I am very happy. God has given me such a good family, such a good husband, and such a snow-skinned daughter."
Host asked her: So, do you think you have made money?
"I made a lot of money!" Milan said proudly.
The daughter of the couple sat in the audience, looking at her parents, smiling all the time.
2022 comes March. Due to the impact of the epidemic, the Milan family did not move around, and Milan's daily life is basically work, school to pick up children and home.
In Milan's social account, you can see that their daughter is more graceful. Xie Jun patiently braided her hair for her. After a while, her daughter has a beautiful look.
As a mother, Milan patiently used tape to stick the hair on the school uniform to her daughter. Her daughter yawned and stood obediently in front of Milan, and then sorted out other details very independently.
In fact, through Milan's social account, you can easily see her love for her daughter. A large part of the videos she filmed have daughters. This vivid little girl is versatile and gentle, and very popular.
For Milan, such a life is happiness and her greatest satisfaction.
