Stories of overseas Chinese

Xue's farthest way home for the New Year;

From Buenos Aires, Argentina to Fuqing, Fujian, China, Xue, an Argentine Chinese and president of the Chamber of Commerce for Import and Export, completed a "farthest trip". China and Argentina are more than 20,000 kilometers apart, but no matter how far away they are, it is hard to stop China people's desire to go home for the New Year.

It takes two and a half hours to fly to Sao Paulo, then 16 hours to Doha, then eight hours to Guangzhou, and10.5 hours to Fuzhou. Finally, it takes several hours to go home by bus. Xue has to walk home for at least two days and nights.

Being able to go home, no matter how far, does not feel hard. After coming to Argentina 10 for many years, Xue knows the taste of homesickness best. 1999165438+10. In October, Mr. and Mrs. Xue came to Argentina, worked as decorators, helped in supermarkets, and experienced entrepreneurial failure ... In those years, the plane ticket home was a distant dream for them.

Xue said frankly that in the first few years when he first arrived in Argentina, "Chinese New Year was the saddest time". He still clearly remembers that in the first year of the "New Year's Eve" in Argentina, he ate beef soup with bread, and then went to the supermarket to help tally.

At that time, network communication was underdeveloped, and I didn't want to make long-distance calls. Every time a friend comes from China, the peanuts and sweet potato strips brought by his parents from his hometown always make Xue cry.

After working hard overseas 10 years, Xue's business is getting better and better. There are several large wholesale supermarkets 1 1 in Buenos Aires, and there are more and more kinds of import and export commodities. "Later, every Spring Festival passed better and better, and going home for the New Year became my motivation."

About a month before returning to China, Xue began to prepare gifts for his family and friends. Propolis, rose essential oil, olive oil, milk powder ... Xue's suitcase is full of Argentine specialties. "Now China don't lack anything. These are some of our wishes overseas. "

Although he went home for the New Year, Xue decorated his supermarket in Argentina with joy. "The customs of China people cannot be changed by cleaning, dust removal and decoration."

Xue said that there are more and more Chinese in Argentina now, and even if they don't go home for the New Year, they won't be so deserted. The atmosphere of the Spring Festival in Argentina is getting stronger and stronger. The China Spring Festival Temple Fair in Buenos Aires attracts hundreds of thousands of tourists every year, and the Spring Festival is no longer just a festival for Chinese communities.

Another feeling of Xue's coming home for the New Year is the change in China. There is a high-speed train near my hometown, and the buildings in the village are becoming more and more beautiful. Even the old mother can use WeChat video. ...

Being overseas, I am more proud of the ever-changing China, Xue said.

However, contact with China people is limited to cultural and economic aspects. After the economic reform and opening up, the overseas Chinese policy has been restored and strengthened. In the1980s, People's Republic of China (PRC) tried to actively seek the support of overseas Chinese in other aspects and seek their technology and funds to help develop.

At present, many overseas Chinese have invested in Chinese mainland, providing financial resources, social and cultural networks, mutual exchanges and opportunities.
