I don't need a green card, I just need a good husband

"I don't care about the American green card. I only want to find a husband!" On December 5, when talking about her marriage with Chris, Chi Lina was very frank and domineering. Chi Lina was divorced, but last year, she met and fell in love with Chris, an American and they got married. After marriage, Chi Lina didn't choose to follow Chris to the United States. Instead, she had to let him stay in China with her. Chris is deeply attracted by Chi Lina's forthright character and was willing to respect her any choice and promised to stay in China. Unlike some girls who marry Americans for green cards, Chi said, she doesn't need a green card at all.

Chi Lina was born in 1982 in Daqing, Heilongjiang Province. In 1998, her school fell under a natural disaster. At that time, Chi Lina, who was studying in the first year of junior high school, had no choice but to drop out of school. After dropping out of school, at the age of 15, she went to Beijing alone to set up a stall. At a young age, she shouldered the responsibility of life. A year later, she rented a facade to start her clothing business which she ran for more than ten years. In 2008, Chi Lina married her ex-husband, but their marriage lasted only five years, ending the marriage because of personality differences. After the divorce, Chi left Beijing and went to Changsha in early 2015 to start business again.

"I rent a front door in Changsha selling children's clothes, with a monthly income of more than 10,000 yuan. Although my business was OK, I lived a repetitive life every day. I was tired and I wanted to go out to see the world." After having this idea, Chi Lina immediately transferred the shop to another seller and bought a Wuling van with the money she had saved. "Because of the size of the car, I can sleep and cook in it. I can also travel around while selling children's clothes and earn money. Every month, I spend a lot of money on fuel. I have traveled to 27 cities and several countries in two years. I have had difficulties on the road, but I have also made many like-minded friends."

At the beginning of last year, Chi Lina, who has traveled for more than two years, returned to Beijing to rest. After meeting some old friends, she suddenly felt a sense of loneliness. At this time, a friend named Chris sent her a greeting on her Wechat. "I did shopping on behalf of foreigners when I was traveling around, but we never talked." Chi Lina, a straightforward character, doesn't like to go around the bush and she asked Chris if he had a girlfriend. After learning that Chris was single, Chi Lina said for the first time: let's live together! Send a location, I'll find you! Just like that, this crazy post-80s girl drove her minivan to Hohhot.

Chris is an American, 8 years older than Chi Lina. He works in a foreign company in China and has a good monthly income. "I had three car accidents on the way to see him. I thought it was the wrong choice, but all the doubts disappeared the moment I saw Chris." Chi Lina said. Chris was moved by the brave and sincere Chinese girl in front of him at the first sight when he saw Chi Lina. They both felt as if they knew each other before. Within a month, they had established a relationship. Chi Lina couldn't speak English and Chris made plans to teach her every day.

After half a year, they were as close as husband and wife. Chris bought a house in Heilongjiang and put it under the name of Chi Lina. Last Christmas Eve, they registered for marriage in Harbin. "Chris is an orphan. He wanted me to go back to the United States with him, but I'm more traditional. I don't want to leave China to marry outside. The only requirement is to let Chris stay in China. I really don't care about the American green card." In May this year, Chi Lina, who thinks it is too cold in the northeast, found a small village in Chongqing and rented a three-story house to live with Chris.

On July 13 this year, their children were born. When talking about their plans for their children and the future, Chi Lina said: it's OK to have a good life now, but they are not willing to be ordinary. They want to take their children around the world and live a good and free life. "Many people ask why don't you go to America to get a green card when you have married an American? To be honest, I have no interest in that, I just want to complete my dream of traveling around the world with Chris, and do more meaningful things!"
