In the autumn of 2006, British uncle John met a working girl in a supermarket in a small town in Zhejiang. John fell in love with Fang Qin at first sight, but the two have huge differences in their identity experiences. John is already 60 years old and is an engineer of a British company. Fang Qin is only 35 years old, with only elementary school education and works as a salesman in the supermarket. Even so, John pursued Fang Qin fiercely and finally managed to catch up with Fang Qin. In September 2008, John and Fang Qin obtained the marriage certificate in China, quit their jobs, stayed in China, and ran a cafe with Fang Qin. It has been 14 years since they got married. Is their marriage still happy? The most famous character in this issue will take you into John's Chinese fate.
John and Fang Qin
British engineer met Anhui working girl
In August 1946, John was born in London, the capital of England. Both his parents were workers in a factory in the UK. In 1968, John graduated from a British university. After graduation, he joined a technology company and started working as an engineer. After that, he experienced marriage and children.
In 2004, John and his wife had a crisis in their 30-year marriage, and the two eventually divorced.
John
In August 2006, John's British company sent him to his Chinese branch in Wukang Town, Deqing County, Huzhou City, Zhejiang Province as a technical consultant in China. This is the first time John has come to China, and he can't speak a single Chinese sentence. At work, the company hired a Chinese translator for him, but in life, John still encountered a lot of trouble.
At that time, the company rented a separate apartment for John. He was not busy at work. In his spare time, John would take a walk in the small town of Wukang. When he needed daily necessities, he would also go to the supermarket not far from his residence to purchase. And it was also in this supermarket that John met his future partner Fang Qin.
Fang Qin's life experience
Fang Qin was born in 1971 in a rural family in She County, Huangshan City, Anhui Province. Both parents are farmers, and she is the only daughter in the family. Due to her family's poverty, Fang Qin dropped out of school and went home before she graduated from elementary school. After that, she stayed at home for several years and later went out to work.

1990, 19-year-old Fang Qin married a young man from a neighboring village by a relative. Although she married into a new family, the new family is not rich, and a good life requires the couple to work hard together. Earlier, Fang Qin and her husband went out to work together, and the two of them could still make a living after a year of struggle.
In 1999, Fang Qin gave birth to a daughter for her husband. After her daughter was born, Fang Qin stayed at home and became a housewife. In addition to taking care of her daughter cooking and washing clothes, she also had to farm and farm. For her, such a life is not easier than going out to work, but even so, her husband is still quite dissatisfied with her.
Fang Qin and her mother were in the rental house
In 2004, Fang Qin divorced her husband who had been married for 14 years. After the divorce, she left the house with nothing and her daughter was also sentenced to her ex-husband. When she was discouraged, she came to Wukang Town, Deqing County, Huzhou City, Zhejiang Province because her mother worked as a cleaner here. When she first arrived, she rented a living in an old community of more than ten square meters with her mother.
The first job, Fang Qin worked as a gas station staff member. This job is not easy. She often spends 24 hours at work. The high-intensity work makes Fang Qin very hard and it is difficult to concentrate, so it is inevitable that she will make mistakes.
Once, Fang Qin was receiving a foreign client, because of negligence, the foreigner stole the money in the collection box. Because of this mistake, Fang Qin was not only fined one month's salary, but also lost her job. Therefore, Fang Qin has a bad impression of foreigners. Among her few cognitions, she always feels that foreigners are bad people.
Fang Qin, a milk salesman,
After resigning from the gas station, Fang Qin entered a supermarket again. In this supermarket, Fang Qin became a salesperson. In her new position, Fang Qin worked hard and worked very hard. Although Fang Qin came from the countryside and had little education, she could speak and always greet customers with a smile. So just looking at the performance, Fang Qin performed quite well. She could earn more than 2,000 yuan a month. Whenever a new product was put on the shelves in the supermarket, Fang Qin would serve as a promotion.
Milk Promoter smiled and moved foreigners
On September 20, 2006, John went to the supermarket to shop. On that day, he pulled the shopping cart to buy some milk, so he came to the milk shopping area, and Fang Qin happened to be the job of a milk promoter. Although Fang Qin had a bad impression of foreigners, she saw the foreigner coming with a shopping cart and thought she must be a big customer, so she quickly called John to her side.
Fang Qin smiled at foreigners
But when she wanted to promote it, she found that John could not speak Chinese, so Fang Qin picked up the milk and recommended it to John the same, but John frowned and kept shaking his head. At this time, Fang Qin simply picked up a box of milk and spread it directly into John's shopping cart. She also smiled at John. It was this smile that made John fall in love with Fang Qin at first sight. A few days after
, John came to the supermarket on time almost every day, not for anything else, just to take a look at Fang Qin. Because he couldn't speak Chinese, he almost didn't communicate with Fang Qin every time. He came to Fang Qin, walked around, took a box of milk and left. But sometimes, when Fang Qin was not on duty, John would buy nothing when he came to the supermarket. John's abnormal behavior had long been seen by Fang Qin's colleagues.
Fang Qin sells milk to foreigners
Colleagues are all talking about this foreigner, and everyone said to Fang Qin: "You have to be careful, that foreigner may have fallen in love with you." Fang Qin still doesn’t believe it very much. After all, she is not the youngest and most beautiful one in the supermarket. How could foreigners like her? However, with John's frequent visits, Fang Qin also began to notice John's intentions.
Three months later, foreigners took the initiative to meet
John relied on computer to translate
December 25, 2006, this day is Christmas. For foreigners, this is a very important festival, and John wants to make an appointment with Fang Qin on this day.
John doesn't understand English, so he translated a paragraph of Chinese through online translation software and copied it down, intending to hand it over to Fang Qin. The day before Christmas, John came to the supermarket to buy milk as usual. Before leaving, he gave Fang Qin a note.
John's small note
Fang Qin opened it and found a photo of it. The photo was a famous river bridge in Wukang, and an arrow pointed out the specific location of the meeting. A clock was also drawn in the lower left corner, indicating the specific time of meeting at 1:30 pm on Christmas. In addition, John also wrote a Chinese paragraph: Hello, my name is a client, your smile lights up my days, but i don't like your speakers, if you don't have a husband, will you see it? The passage of
is messy and Fang Qin can't understand it at all. However, Fang Qin was surprised that this foreign old man actually claimed to be a client, which made Fang Qin feel a chill on her back. Should she meet this foreigner who claims to be a client? But if you don’t meet, will you lose this big customer? After thinking about it, Fang Qin finally decided to bring her colleagues to the appointment.
Wukang River Bridge
On Christmas Day, when Fang Qin and her colleagues arrived at the river bridge on time, John, who was 1.8 meters tall, had already stood in the middle of the bridge waiting for Fang Qin, but at this time, the colleague was scared and left alone, and Fang Qin had to bite the bullet and meet John. John greeted Fang Qin politely and invited Fang Qin to visit his American friend's house.
John held Fang Qin's hand
When I went upstairs, the gentleman John held Fang Qin's hand all the way, fearing that Fang Qin would fall, which made Fang Qin feel warm and considerate.
When he arrived at an American friend's house, John introduced Fang Qin to an American friend. This American has a very good Chinese level. He helped the two of them as translators. Fang Qin asked John the meaning of the note. With the help of his friend, John realized that he had made a fool of himself. He actually wanted to call him John on the surface, but he didn't expect that the translator would become a client, which made him very embarrassed.
In order to relieve the embarrassment, John specially cooked and made Western food for Fang Qin. However, Fang Qin, who had never eaten Western food, was obviously not used to the salad and three-quarter-cooked beef on the counter, so Fang Qin ate almost nothing, which made John a little disappointed. He was afraid that this meeting would make Fang Qin hate him, but in Fang Qin's heart, she was already a little moved by this foreigner.
John goes to the supermarket to shop
In the days after John goes to the supermarket to shop, and Fang Qin is often invited by John to visit her home after get off work. The two of them always lie on the computer and chat with translation software. They talk a lot, from their birth experience to their interests and hobbies. At this time, Fang Qin realized that this foreigner was 25 years older than him, and his monthly salary was his annual income. She felt that she was far from John, and she was afraid that she would fall in love with John.
But this moment always comes naturally.
Foreigner confessed Fang Qin agreed to
One day in February 2007, John made Fang Qin's appointment at home. In the computer translation software, John confessed to Fang Qin.
John and Fang Qin chatted with
But the sudden confession made Fang Qin uneasy. The previous failed marriage was because she was low in education and poor, and she hated the feeling of being looked down upon by men, so she said to John: " John, you and I are not suitable. I am just a rural person and have not graduated from elementary school, and you are an engineer with a high degree of education."
Regarding Fang Qin's explanation, John said sincerely: "I like you, no matter whether you come from Beijing, Shanghai or the countryside, just because of your smile and your kindness, these are enough."
The two people after falling in love
After hearing what John said, Fang Qin could no longer control her feelings, and she bravely pursued love. In this way, in a small town in Jiangnan, there is an extra multinational couple and an extra love between the old and the young. Their love is always discussed frequently, but both of them are immersed in the joy of love.
After falling in love, in order to facilitate communication with John, Fang Qin started learning English after work. She bought several books to learn English in one go. With continuous efforts, her English has also improved rapidly and she can already say to John every day: i love you.
Mother-in-law opposes him quit his job and stays in China to open a cafe
However, the incident of Fang Qin's love soon reached her mother's ears, and her mother firmly opposed this relationship.
Fang Qin's mother
The mother was afraid that her daughter would be deceived, and she also felt that John was too old. In fact, her mother's worries make sense. After all, Fang Qin's understanding of John comes from John's self-introduction, and she cannot tell whether this is true or false.
In order to make Fang Qin believe in him, John specially asked his daughter and son-in-law to come to China. He introduced Fang Qin to his daughter and son-in-law and personally agreed to his idea of marrying Fang Qin.
John is with his mother-in-law
In order to conquer his mother-in-law, John often goes to his mother-in-law’s rental house, chats with his mother-in-law, helps his mother-in-law work, and always buys some necessities for his mother-in-law. John's efforts over and over again ultimately influenced this mother-in-law who is about his age.
After falling in love with John, Fang Qin did not enjoy the fruits, and she didn't care about John's money. She still worked in the supermarket, working for nearly 10 hours a day, constantly selling new products to new customers. She was very tired from work. Every day when she returned to John's apartment, Fang Qin was very tired. John saw all these things. He had long wanted Fang Qin to change jobs. After thinking about it over and over again, John decided to open a coffee shop for Fang Qin.
John's Cafe
In April 2008, John rented a three-story building near Wukang Riverside Park and opened a cafe. This cafe mainly sells coffee, sandwiches and burgers. Many of the customers are foreigners. At that time, although Fang Qin's English was not fluent, the basic communication was already satisfied, so John was very relieved to hand over the store to Fang Qin for management. As for Fang Qin's mother, she also quit her previous job and went to the store to become a logistics staff member.
But the store has just opened for a month and a bad news has come.
At this time, John's British company issued a transfer order to him, asking John to return to the UK to rush to his new position, but this means that John is going back to China. At this time, John was able to return to the UK to live with him, but Fang Qin was unwilling to leave China and his parents.
Fang Qin and John
After repeated weighing, for the sake of love, John finally chose to quit his job. He stayed and ran the coffee shop with Fang Qin.
In the end, the business of this coffee shop was slowly getting on track under the joint management of Fang Qin and John. John also applied for a permanent residence visa and planned to stay in China with Fang Qin.
Foreigners got married and had children
Fang Qin’s wedding photo
In September 2008, John took Fang Qin to a local civil affairs bureau to complete the marriage registration procedures and finally successfully obtained the marriage certificate. In this way, a rural working girl successfully married a British engineer who was 25 years older than him. Others discussed it all, but Fang Qin and John were both enjoying love.
Fang Qin and John quarrel
After getting married, the couple run a store together and are together all the time. It is inevitable that the two of them will quarrel. At this time, Fang Qin, who had already learned English, also began to mutter to her husband in English. However, John has a very good personality and they make up immediately every time they quarrel.
In 2012, Fang Qin gave birth to a mixed-race son for John, and his son's birth also made John stay in China more firmly. How is
now?
Although this love is beautiful, we will never be able to find their news on the Internet again.
Fangqin cancelled coffee shop
When we checked the coffee shop that Fangqin opened before, we found that the coffee shop had been cancelled.
After unremitting efforts, the author finally obtained Fang Qin's current situation from Fang Qin's cousin.
It is reported that since 2017, Fang Qin and John have left China and lived in the UK together. Now Fang Qin has lived in the UK with John for 5 years, and their mixed-race son has also become British nationality and has received education in the UK. Their relationship is still very stable. In the UK, John has generous retirement benefits, which also ensures that the family of three will have a stable income without having to work.
