Shanghainese Girl Marrying Foreigners I think this blog is great WANGJIANSHUO and I also note > Posted by: Ronglimeng on March 21, 2007 09:29 AM Well, I married a Shanghainese girl. He also says > However, at least in terms of economics and romance, China is a free country, so what are you going to do? Is it truely ... I put it to you that many do not consider that true love is allowed and I recently had conversation with other in China about how a businessman there was being divorced by his wife. He did not wish this and so through connections had a court order his wife to stay ... I really have thought always many good things about the chinese people, especially what my father had told me of his good experiences with them as sometime allies to us during the second world war. I find much has to do with financial issues in China and rules of engagement in business. My lady tells me of business meetings and the after meetings goings on and then these men can go home to their wives and it is accepted that is the way it is ... I have looked at some of the cultural meeting sites and I am surprised that there are so many beautiful divorced women whom basically state about their past of the perhaps inhumane way they are treated. My friend was just in kunming and she travelled to other areas. She was saying to me that all the women went to work and the men stayed home ... Does anyone have anything to say about these things? |

Shanghainese Girl Marrying Foreigners Marrying a Chinese girl, even if shes not from Shanghai .. I am a person whom very much loves a chinese girl. I note (dancingdots) in this blog stating a lass from China married a man from Nebraska USA ... He states as follows (he can not satisfy her material demand) What is the demand in material marraige for her? I believe that love alone should be the key to her answer .. Perhaps the guy is a jurk, who knows. However in the case of my love for my friend in Xi'an China whom has spent much time in this country, Australia ... with me. I am finding these two things ... I am being discriminated by her mother mostly in that because I have been married before and have a daugter that I am not considered a good mate. The other of course is a monetary issue ... Her being only child and not being a son is expected to provide much for her parents. Hey nothing wrong with that in most respects ... However as a strong and independant man I would only be to happy to provide for the families needs. The discrimination issue seems that mother would have no face if daughter married me ... Where does one turn when a family discriminates with cultural issues... Good enough to send daughter to this country for education and to earn a better income, then pressures her to suppress her feelings of her heart ... Then I find I am being victimised now even by her heart because she has to live basically a double identity. I am a very nice person and if the family could bother to know me as the daughter has said .. The mother threatens the daughter psychologically ... I'm lost for the right answers ... Sure I wish to go there and meet the parents ... It seems though when one is being pressured there by family, that because of the cultural upbringing, dictatorship ... political differences ... Do as I say child ... Perhaps I should stand in a square and be shot down by someone ... issues which are not found on internet in China ... I dare not even send a political history email to my love. Simply because it would likely be detramental to her health, as she has plainly said we are being watched and even our business emails are censored and it seems many know what we do ... Help ... What I do know is that my lady would never starve and would always be warm and loved. |

Use GPRS in Shanghai I will go to Shanghai this fall, and I am also looking for a (cheap) internet solution. So I was wondering wether there are (free) WiFi hotspots you can use? And if not, what is the best way for GPRS? As Ted posted, the 200RMB unlimited access changed to 500Mb. But is it still 200RMB ? 500Mb is enough for a week for me :-) And how can I get this? Prepaid card? And where can I buy it? I really hope there are cheap (or free) Wifi accesspoints, so I can use Skype to phone home. |

Helping by Hiring Oops, that last sentence should be "can't even compreheand what poverty is" |

Helping by Hiring The poor don't magically become educated and well-off just because some "smart" people say they'd be better off getting an education and high paying skilled jobs. In an ideal world, maybe everyone can get phD in chemistry, become a experienced mechanic, study meterology, and own a 2500 acre farm, but that's not possible in the real world, at least not in China where there's less than 0.3 acres of arable land for each person. Here in the US, I often hear things like "the people in such and such country are so poor and are being paid so little, therefore we should make them improve their living conditions by boycotting their products". Such is what passes for logic and reasoning for people who live in so much luxury and comfort they can even comprehend what poverty is. |

Thanks for your Comments Hi Jian Shuo, I want to say "thanks" for putting this website together. This is by far the most informative website regarding life in Shanghai. I will be moving there in only three weeks to begin a new career there. I hope to read all of your articles before I go! And thanks for the pictures of Seattle - 'cause that's where I live right now! Go Starbucks, Ron |

Webcam Shanghai Resumes I agree that it may be more expensive but as I've already purchased the CCTV cameras, it is more economical for me than to buy 5 separate webcams. If I've a Video Capture Card installed, how can I upload images into the Internet for viewing when I am away? (Note that it is for me to check on my home when I am away. Any software that you can recommend. Thanks! |
