I'm Xiaofeng, from Taishan, Guangdong. When I was 26 years old, I came to the United States that many people yearned for, and now I live in new york.

By chance, I gave up my stable job in China and decided to study in the United States. However, after I came to America, despite many difficulties, I never gave up. Now that I'm here, I'm going to break new ground! In the past few years, I worked hard while studying, regarded new york as my second hometown, and met a beautiful love. Now, as soon as the weekend comes, my husband and I will go to the tourist shop and live a happy and fulfilling life!

1988 I was born in Taishan, Guangdong. Adjacent to Hong Kong and Macao, it is known as "the first hometown of overseas Chinese in China". The number of people living in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan and overseas is 300,000 more than that of local residents, and the "first hometown of overseas Chinese" is worthy of its name. Among them, the most people went to live in the United States, which also created opportunities for me to go to the United States later.

I am the eldest in my family and have two sisters. My parents are self-employed and run a local grain and oil store. Although I am not rich, they love me like a princess. I can't do housework since I was a child, let alone cook.

I am especially dependent on my mother, pulling her everywhere, just like a bird hiding under her wings. It can be said that I was a proper "Mabao girl" at that time.

I especially love beauty. The Chinese name is "Phoenix" and the English name is Phoenix, which means "Phoenix". Under the implication of these two names, I hope I not only have a beautiful temperament, but also have a rich spiritual life. Whether as a child or now, I always dress up before going out. This is not only a way to enhance self-confidence, but also a way to respect others.

I got good grades in primary school, which is the pride of our family. In the senior high school entrance examination, because I like singing and dancing, I also envy girls who can play the piano and feel that I am suitable for artistic work. Therefore, I chose a famous preschool teachers' college in Guangdong province when I was in the senior high school entrance examination.

However, after work, I realized that hobbies and work are not the same thing. I like teaching children to sing and dance, but this job contains other unexpected contents, such as communicating with parents and taking care of children's diet.

I am a Gemini, and I like to explore new things, especially when I was young. I want to experience more different industries and increase the thickness of my life. So, I quit my job as a kindergarten teacher and began to try the freshness brought by different occupations.

Later, I went to work in a high-end stomatological hospital. With down-to-earth, step by step from the grassroots to the department manager.

After working in dentistry for 1 year, a friend wanted to go to the United States for development and asked me if I would like to go with him. I was also worried after listening to it. Faced with an uncertain future, most people will be afraid. I haven't been abroad, and I don't know how it will develop in America.

However, life is unbreakable. Gemini's love for exploration is once again reflected in me. Since the development in China has been very stable, why not challenge yourself and explore the United States? Even if there is no harvest, it is still a trip abroad. It happened that a relative settled in new york, and when he arrived in the United States, he was always taken care of.

Therefore, I plan to go to the United States for further study and apply for a study visa. I've got enough money to go abroad.

In 20 15, I came to new york, one of the most famous cities in the world! Later facts proved: how wise this choice was! Sometimes life is strange, and a choice is enough to make life change dramatically.

When I first arrived in America, I was full of curiosity and felt that everything was so fresh. New york is full of tall buildings, which dazzles me. I immediately fell in love with this modern metropolis! Determined to stay here and develop.

Then, I began to work while studying. In the first year, I worked as a part-time Chinese teacher in a preschool education center. But with the burden of tuition and rent, life began to be stretched.

Later, under the recommendation of my relatives, I changed my job and worked as an assistant in a China immigration law firm. I started this job for five years.

I think there are three things that women can't stop: first, they can't stop learning; Second, you can't stop being beautiful; Third, you can't stop making money. Learning to improve temperament, beauty brings confidence, and independence is respected. Therefore, at any age, we must do these things well.

Every once in a while, I will sign up for various skills training to improve my ability; Every day before I go out, I will draw a beautiful light makeup to show my confident and beautiful side to my colleagues and friends. At the same time, I will also participate in various salons to improve my aesthetic ability.

I work harder to make money. Besides working full-time, I also open a W shop, whose main products are women's wear and skin care products. I developed my hobby into a sideline, which is also a happy thing in life.

I hope I can live as beautiful as a phoenix, live full and chic, and balance my work and life. I like to travel around after work. In the eyes of many people, traveling is a tiring and expensive thing.

But for me, seeing more places in the world can increase my value. I am afraid that one day I will regret it. When I was too old to walk, I realized that some years could not be turned back.

After my life got on the right track, I began to travel in various states in the United States and punched in the scenic spots around new york. So far, I have traveled all over more than 20 States in the United States.

The dangerous and spectacular horseshoe bend around Las Vegas made me turn my back. I stayed at Niagara Falls in Canada and left my footprints at Oak Manor in New Orleans ... Traveling not only greatly broadened my horizons, but also improved my lifestyle.

After a stable life, my family began to worry about my marriage. Especially when approaching the age of 30, every time I contact them, I am urged to get married by various means.

They still can't get rid of the concept of the older generation, thinking that women after the age of 30 will depreciate and it is difficult to find a partner. But I won't marry myself casually because of my age. I think there is no age suitable for marriage, only love suitable for marriage.

It is very important to speak fluent English in America, so I want to make some foreign friends and practice my spoken English. I was single at that time and wanted to find someone. I learned from my friends that American dating websites are more reliable, so I registered an account on such websites.

At that time, I never thought about marrying a foreigner. Treating online friends is also very Buddhist. Practice oral English if you can't speak; If you can chat, you can make friends. Unfortunately, I have never met the right person. Until one day in 20 19, I met l by chance on the internet.

L has the frankness of Americans. After he saw my message on the Internet, he took the initiative to say hello. The second sentence was to meet the next day, and I simply replied "Yes".

In fact, I didn't take this short agreement seriously that day. Many people just talked about it online, so I readily agreed with him. Besides, there is no specific time and place for this appointment, and I'm not sure whether we can meet offline.

Who knows, at 3 o'clock the next afternoon, I received a text message from him saying that we would meet in Manhattan at 5 o'clock. However, it was raining heavily at that time, and dating in the heavy rain was too embarrassing. So, I want to cancel the meeting and find an excuse to say that I have something to do.

If you are an ordinary person, you may cancel the meeting or reschedule. However, Liu Yifei has an unusual persistence. He said he would pick me up when I was finished, and later he said he could pick me up. I thought to myself: this is really a trustworthy and serious person!

He arrived by car as promised. L height, about 1.9 meters. At that time, there happened to be a pool of water in front of the house, so he resolutely stepped into the water nest and opened the door for me. This warm-hearted behavior has added another point to my goodwill towards this gentleman.

He drove me to a Japanese restaurant. After dinner, we played table tennis and then went to the rooftop bar. Finally, we all expressed our love for each other and planned to continue our relationship.

With the deepening of communication, I gradually got to know him. He is an Italian born in the United States in 1982. After graduating from business administration, he further studied finance. Currently working as a financial planner in a large financial institution in the United States.

L is a very motivated person. Through his own efforts, he started from the grassroots level step by step and has now become the backbone of the company.

He thinks I am full of positive energy, optimistic and temperament, and full of oriental charm. In this way, our feelings quickly warmed up.

After a year of love, l and I talked about getting married and met with contradictions for the first time. Like most Americans, L thinks that deep affection between two people is more important than a thin marriage certificate. He once had a long love run, but he never got married.

And I always believe that people who really love you must want to marry you home and turn you into the closest person, even foreigners. Besides, being in a foreign country, I have a stronger desire for home.

Before I met him, I never thought about getting a marriage license. But he changed his mind for me. Americans pay great attention to the marriage proposal ceremony, and soon he gave me a big surprise.

At that time, he took me to the three tallest buildings in new york. Finally, he chose to propose to me in the restaurant on floor 0/02 of World Trade Center/KLOC. When we were eating, he suddenly knelt in front of me, holding a shiny diamond ring in his hand, and said to me affectionately: marry me!

I was moved by the surprise in my heart. He gave me many surprises, which I didn't expect every time. There was nothing he couldn't do. However, this surprise is undoubtedly the most important surprise in my life.

I took the ring and said happily, "Yes, I do! I am willing! "

Later I learned that he had designed a proposal plan. He is going to hang a banner on the plane to propose marriage. However, it rained heavily that day and I couldn't rent a plane, so L secretly changed her proposal.

The wedding was postponed because of the epidemic. Until 10 on February 30th, we held a small-scale wedding in a small court. Although simple, it is enough to make me unforgettable.

The moment I got married, my heart was full of happiness and a sense of belonging. After wandering in America for five years, I finally have my own home!

After marriage, I am no longer lonely. With more L around me, my life is more interesting and happy.

On holidays, we will go to various gourmet restaurants. Go to a Japanese restaurant to eat sushi, go to a Vietnamese restaurant to eat Vietnamese powder, and taste hot dogs from a century-old hot dog restaurant in Chicago. ...

L has been treating me like before, holding me in his hand and giving gifts every holiday. Sometimes when I get up in the morning, I will see the breakfast beside my bed. If you have such a husband, what else can you ask for?

I always believe that there is no absolute good or bad in a person's life, and the life that suits him is the best. We can be poor, but we can't walk without determination. We must go to as many places as possible in our limited life, and we will find that the meaning of life goes far beyond our eyes.
