  Seohee is excited to introduce her life through the photos in her cell.

  Two families from different countries gather with each other via an international love relationship.

  Seohee has left people an amazing first impression, not only because of her beautiful appearance, but also her vigorous and resolute character. Nothing would be so surprising if it happens on her, and she just proves it with her personal experience.

  I once wandered far away, and then I drift no more

  Seohee is a young Korean lady. Before coming into China, she once worked in a famous dessert chain corporation in Korea, and then was sent to Canada for three years. She can speak fluent English, so when she came in Jinan, Shandong, she can only communicate with people by English after a fashion. Her first impression about Jinan would be “too many cars and too many people”, that is, perhaps, why the air is not that clear. However the hospitality of Shandong people made Seohee fall in love with this city soon. “There is so many kinds of delicious food to eat, and I will miss the Sichuan dishes and chafing dishes even when I come back to Korea.” Seohee said she is totally a foodie, but the reason why she decides to stay in Jinan is not merely because of the delicious food, in the meantime, for a romantic love relationship.

  Encounter in the streets and bump into love

  “I got few friends when first coming in Jinan. I would wander around this city by bus after work, and get off wherever I’m interested.” Seohee is a brave girl, but it cannot stop her getting lost all the time. “At that weekend, I cannot find the bus to go home, so I find a guy to ask for directions.” The guy, a native Jinan young man, becomes her husband later. “Being aware of that I’m a foreigner and don’t know how to speak Chinese, he drove me home and considerately stressed the importance of safety issue.” This attentive and gentle young man in this way rushed into Seohee’s life. They kept in touch and thus committed to a romantic relationship. “He is two years younger than me, but he can take good care of me. At first, my parents are against our international relationship; however, they gradually accept our relationship and send their best wishes when they have observed that he and his family all have been really nice to me.” Now, Seohee has been pregnant for six months. She is in the happiness of fate and love.

  Seek common ground and anticipate the bright future

  “Korean men would chase after fashion more and pay attention to their figures and appearance; yet most Chinese men would be rather casual at wearing. In my mind, for men, the appearance is not that important; Chinese men are more dependable.” Seohee smiled. With her own home in Jinan, Seohee was gradually adjust to the life here. She also found some friends who can speak English or Korean and casually talk to her husband’s friends’ wives, sometimes with the aid of E-dictionary, during which, she got much improvement in speaking Chinese.

  For Seohee, the best hope about the future would be to have a healthy and pretty baby, find a favorable work and strive for happiness together with her husband.
