Immigrating to Australia taught me to be strong.

Ms. Qu is an Australian immigrant. On June 20 14, she came to Australia with a pair of children, left the pampered life in China and started a new life in Australia.

Chinese who immigrated to Australia through investment are basically successful people who have made a successful career in China and accumulated certain wealth. Leaving the familiar environment and starting a new life is far from being as simple as imagined. Ms. Qu is a successful professional woman. In Australia, she hesitated, accepted and integrated until she fell in love with this country.

I cried a lot on my first day in Australia.

My husband and I have worked hard in China for 10 years. We first considered immigration after I gave birth to my second child. After giving birth to my daughter, I began to seriously think about the education of children and the influence of family environment on children. Because for children, the environment abroad is different.

My husband and I had never been to Australia before we decided to immigrate to Australia. Immigration to Australia is a wonderful fate. Fortunately, we successfully obtained an Australian visa. In June, Xintong immigrants helped to submit the materials, and we got the visa in 165438+ 10 that year. After getting the visa, I continued to live in China for one year. Considering the connection between my son's education, I took my child to Australia.

I lost a bag on my first day in Australia. My father gave me a comb in his bag when he was alive. I used this bag for almost ten years, but I lost it. At that time, my mood collapsed.

In Sydney, the street outside the hotel is deserted, and everyone is busy with their own affairs. I don't know where the house is in the future, whether the children go to school smoothly or not, and life seems to be completely out of control. Several reasons combined, negative emotions broke out and I burst into tears. Mr. Wang was stunned at that time. He said, Let's go home! You are really worrying! ?

After crying, calm down and think about it. I'm here, and the days are over. This is my first choice, and I can only move on. Two weeks later, we rented a house, bought furniture, enrolled our children, and established a family.

After about two months, I basically got used to life in Australia, knowing that I need to use GOOGLE when I go out, and I need to check the route in advance when I want to go by train (the subway is called a train locally). Taxis are very expensive here, and people here don't use taxis as a means of transportation. Moreover, expensive is not the main reason, nor does it mean that you can't afford it. It's just that if you take a taxi as a means of transportation, people here will think that you are very different and can't integrate into normal Australian life.

Recalling when I first came to Australia, I was proud to finally stick to it.

Giving children an open-minded heart is more meaningful than giving more money.

Before I came to Australia, my son was in the third grade and his grades were not particularly outstanding. I can already foresee his future in China, and I don't want my children to waste their time in the fierce competition in China. Finally, I went to a university that is not particularly helpful for future employment and ability improvement, and I think children can learn some knowledge abroad that is not available in domestic education.

My son came to Australia and changed a lot. In China, teachers assign a lot of homework, and then work hard on their own, but in Australia, more is the cultivation of ability. My son learns to form a team, and team members work together to complete a project, not just a written test.

My son's health has also been greatly improved and exercised, because there are more physical education courses in Australia, his physical fitness has improved obviously, and his manners, manners and manners have changed. For example, he knows how to be humble, he can't talk loudly outside, and he has to give up the right passage when taking the escalator. No one taught him anything, but because he was in an orderly, standardized and better quality environment in Australia, his own quality was improved, which made me very happy.

Learning in Australia has been demonized in China. In fact, unlike rumors, studying in Australia is basically fun. Although the requirements for academic qualifications in foreign education are certainly lower than those in China, the requirements for ability are much stricter than those in China.

When my son first came to Australia, it was not easy. First of all, the language must pass. No matter how beautiful the domestic English examination papers are, the oral English level is basically not good. It is impossible for English schools in China to reach a higher level. Children must also have an environment for learning English. The environment in Australia is especially suitable for children to learn English well. Secondly, it is also a challenge for my son to change from complete book education to ability training education. However, he has completely adapted to these two problems now.

At home, everything is competitive. For example, my in-laws are old, but some habits cannot be changed. In Australia, there are always crowded seats by train. If people don't get off, I will rush to get on, always afraid that it will be late, the door will be closed or the position will be robbed. From these details, we can see that there are too many people in China, and the living environment forces us to fight for everything, and we must win the first place to live a good life. For my husband and I who have experienced this kind of competition, I really don't want our children to live like this. They will be too tired, too nervous, and most importantly, not enlightened enough. Life will be hard if people are not open-minded. The pursuit of infinite wealth and fame and fortune is not proportional to one's happiness. I don't want my children to live so tired.

In foreign countries, it is not that there are no requirements for children. During this year, I deeply realized that in Australia, the expectation for children is to know what they want to do. It's not that you have to live better than others, but that you can live your own life anyway.

Therefore, I want to tell many parents who want their children to succeed: It is more meaningful to give their children a brand-new environment, an open-minded heart as far as they can, buy a house and a famous car for their children, and give them financial assistance when they grow up.

Life in Australia is very different from life in China. I learned the word strong in Australia.

My husband and I run a company in China. I'm busy and stressed. After I gave birth to my second child, I stopped taking care of the company. I lived in a pampered home for two or three years and lived a very leisurely life. Basically, my fingers didn't touch the spring and did nothing, and my physical and mental strength completely reached a state where I didn't need to think. That's why I had a nervous breakdown when I first arrived in Australia. Before coming to Australia, I often post some photos of parties on WeChat. Friends in Australia will say that you will come to Australia and cry to death. You will not adapt. So I thought I had made a very full mental preparation at home, but I found that I encountered far more difficulties than I expected when I arrived in Australia.

My experience is similar to that of most Australian immigrants. My mother and children are in Australia, my father is in China, and our family lives in a twin city. I want to tell the mothers who are going to immigrate to Australia that they must do a good job in psychological construction. In Australia, not all problems can be solved with money.

Hiring workers in Australia doesn't mean that someone will do it for money. Australians will not violate their principles because of money. Whether they help their employers depends on whether they get along with their employers and have the same topic. Therefore, asking for help from workers can only be realized on the premise that Australians' ideas are fully understood and recognized. If you hold the mentality that there is nothing impossible with money, you will run into a wall in Australia, which is somewhat different from that in China.

When I first came to Australia, there was no one else to rely on. I have to do everything here by myself. In Australia, I learned how to write the word strong.

Once, I told the staff of Xintong Company who helped me with the Australian 132 immigration: After immigration, Xintong should add a service to offer life skills training courses for new immigrants, such as simple maintenance and repair of houses, drainage and electrician technology, simple appliance repair technology for household appliances such as refrigerators, televisions and washing machines.

This is no joke. I think it is very necessary to know these skills in Australia, and I believe it is also true in Canada, the United States, Europe and other immigrant countries.

Fortunately, Australian locals are very kind and enthusiastic, and they are willing to lend a helping hand when they encounter difficulties. I made many friends here and gave me a lot of help.

My ideal life may be like this.

When I was in China, life was really easy. I once discussed with my husband that I could predict my life after 60, 70 and 80. For me, this is not the life I want without challenge and passion.

My age and family situation make it unrealistic for me to pursue new breakthroughs in my career. So I thought, instead of challenging an irrelevant career, I should immigrate to Australia and start my life from scratch as a new challenge at the age of 40. See how you did in this career when you were 45 or 50 years old.

What I think of as a high-quality life is not how comfortable it is to live in Australia, but my high quality lies in my inner satisfaction and sense of accomplishment.

I have made plans for the future. After my son goes to college, I may take my little daughter back to China to study Chinese. My little daughter is going back to Australia after finishing primary school. She is not ready to live in China.

I really like the life here, the living conditions here, the environment here, and there is no pressure to get along with people. Today, you are carrying a designer bag and driving a luxury car. No one will care about you and look up to you. You are dressed in rags today, and no one will laugh at you. This is a country that can live as one pleases as long as it doesn't harm the interests of others. This is my perfect home. It's a pity that Mr Wang Can can't come and live with us now.

When I am old, I can't walk in a chair. Looking back on this experience should be a good memory. I believe this decision is good for the future of my family, so this road, although I am very tired now, must be a very correct choice.

Suggestion: Immigration means another starting point of life, which will bring a completely different lifestyle and future to a family. How can we find the one that suits you? Another starting point? This is a university question. Therefore, we must do a good job in psychological construction and preparation before immigration, so that our immigrant life will be more calm in the future.
