| Hi budong - I certainly understand the point you are trying to make. As far as advantages - Sometimes I cannot help but feel I'm the one who has taken advantage of the beautiful in-laws I've inherited - they have accepted me unconditionally. They are much better off financially than I was accustomed to growing up. My wife was already very 'worldly-travelled' before we met and a successul business woman in her own right... in short, she didn't need my passport, money or assets (pittance in comparison to what my in-laws have). I've never worked in China on an expat package (local package - we've covered this on another thread). The only thing left on your list is my white skin (which has black heritage)... we all looked past that many years ago. Race and culture blending can be a beautiful thing. My mum in Australia loves and boasts about the fact that my wife is Chinese. We married out of love for each other - absolutely no hidden agendas - and we are completely dedicated to each other, our families, our baby boy and our life together. I also know other couples with similar circumstances to ourselves... it may not be the norm, but it happens. :p |
