At present, most of the foreigners people talk about refer to those tall, blond foreigners in Europe and America. I looked it up in the dictionary, and it said, "Foreigners are China people's common name for foreigners, and there is no derogatory meaning."
After getting married, I found many articles on the Internet about China women marrying foreigners. Some words are particularly ugly, and many words such as "worshiping foreign things and obsessing foreign things", "insatiable greed", "corruption" and even "mean" and "shameless" are used, which makes me feel very scared. I worship foreign countries? Still "cheap"? It makes me feel like a monk and I can't figure it out.
In recent years abroad, I have never done anything detrimental to national interests and honor. The motherland is strong, and the whole world has set off a Chinese craze. I have the honor of being selected as a volunteer by Hanban, and I have been diligently teaching Chinese overseas for five years, making my modest contribution to the spread of China's language and culture. As a native of China, I am proud of the splendid culture of my motherland and my China origin, and I have always been confident and tolerant in teaching foreigners Chinese. I don't think I worship or flatter foreign countries.
Newspapers often call our overseas Chinese volunteers "messengers of spreading China culture". Although I don't deserve this honor, what is certain is that I have been deeply respected and liked by students over the years.
I have never "flattered" foreigners in Europe and America. I went to college for five years. I majored in English education in the first three years, so I am also a girl in the Foreign Languages Department. I heard that a girl in the department's learning slogan is: "Learn two foreign languages well (students in foreign languages departments should choose a second foreign language besides professional foreign languages) and marry a foreigner." In contrast, I didn't have any big ambitions at that time, so I liked to dance and travel alone. My grades in English major courses have been very poor. I wonder if it has anything to do with this.
There were two foreign teachers from England in our class at that time, who were husband and wife. My husband's name is Mike, and he teaches us oral and language teaching skills. He is a gentleman. Many girls in the class say that he is very handsome, and he is very excited every time he comes to his class. But when I saw him in my freshman year and junior year, I didn't think he was much different. I also skipped his class several times. In fact, he did well in class and was kind to others. I like this teacher very much, but I really don't think he is handsome. I stole a photo of my old classmates. Do you think foreign teacher Mike is handsome? I hope he doesn't know I'm here ...
Best wishes
Two kind and lovely English foreign teachers
Later, I went abroad, and there were more foreigners around me, including colleagues and friends. I have come into contact with many people, and sometimes I think that Europeans and Americans have beautiful curly hair and blue eyes, and I also appreciate their cultivation and quality. However, if I have to choose one of them as my boyfriend, it's really a bit difficult for me. As my husband, I have never considered it. It's not that I pretend to be lofty, that they are not good enough, or that they don't have a chance, but that I really don't feel my temperament. I don't know if it will change in the future, but at least for now, I have not chosen foreigners from Europe and America as my life partner. As the saying goes, carrots and vegetables have their own tastes.
When I started to want to get married at the age of 24, I fell in love with a man in China. It's vigorous, but it's gone (maybe, but I don't know). Later, my Vietnamese husband appeared in my life, but he was not a "foreigner" at all, including his family, and he was no different from China people. Maybe I think it is not easy for me to live alone in a foreign country, so he is very careful, considerate and gentle to me, and gradually I get used to his care and fall in love with him. I have many similarities with him in character. Many friends I have met say that we are husband and wife.
There are many reasons why I finally decided to marry him, but the most important thing is that he and I can respect and appreciate each other. This has nothing to do with the nationalism and patriotism of some big bosses in China. I am from China, yes, but I am a human being first, and I have the basic rights and freedom to choose a spouse. At present, due to the disparity in comprehensive national strength between China and Vietnam, "vietnamese brides is in China" is the general trend, and "China bride is in Vietnam" is the countercurrent of the general trend. My husband and I are determined to get married, board the same boat hand in hand, and sail against the current in the journey of life, which requires great courage.
As for whether the secular vision is optimistic about our marriage, it does not affect our own life.
