Some foreigners have calculated that the passage capacity of Chinese passports is equivalent to that of Rwanda and Cameroon, and to list countries whose passports are more effective than China's, it is almost necessary to memorize the world map.

However, it is not easy for Chinese to go out, and it is even more difficult for foreigners to come to China!

First of all, the procedures for coming to China are cumbersome, there are as many as 16 types of visas, and even the visit visa is divided into family reunion and family reunion outside the family member. If you are applying for an L visa (tourist visa), you will need to provide an invitation letter from an individual or entity, proof that you will have enough money to spend during your trip, and sometimes a plane ticket, bus ticket or ferry ticket for where you will go after leaving China.

For Chinese who are accustomed to preparing various certificates and even deposit deposits, these conditions are really not harsh. But for Americans who can't get a few certificates in their lifetime, this is really challenging. And the invitation letter written by a Chinese friend often does not count, and you have to find a travel agency or an agency designated by the consulate to issue a certificate. It costs 5,000 to 10,000 more for this.

It takes a week for Chinese to get a Japanese visa, 48 hours to get a French visa, and foreigners have to wait patiently for a month to get a Chinese visa.

However, it is not a problem for Han Yaoyao, because she is not an ordinary American, but an American born in Chinese.

Dad is a deputy inspector of the Jiang Provincial Public Security Department in China, and a colleague of my father's deputy director is leading a team exchange in New York, and the relationship with the Chinese Consulate General in New York is not good at all.

Special events, green light all the way.

The day after George Sr. resigned as a judge in the Montgomery District Court, he followed Director Han, Mr. Han and Zhang Lin on a direct international flight to Jiangcheng.

The eldest lady was about to arrive, Bai Xiaoqian and Shi Lingzhi attached great importance to it, and rushed to the airport early to greet them after putting down their work.

Whether she likes China or not, whether she likes to stay in Jiangcheng or not, directly determines whether Director Han Da will pick a child. The hall also attached great importance to it, and Director Li took time to bring his daughter to greet Jiang Huiru and Xia Moqing.

Law firms now only accept foreign-related business, and there is no need to look at the face of the police. Keep your distance from the "801" at all times.

Due to personal income and contacts, in addition to ginger, the people of "801" are not very willing to deal with them, even though they are the same people. Although they knew each other, they were still very clear, and when they said hello, they waited far away.

A couple passed by, and actually took two bites in front of the public. It's just a talented woman like Director Han Da and Zhang Lin, obviously she looks sorry for the audience and "shows affection", Director Bai is very unhappy, and after thinking about it for a while, he suddenly said: "Lingzhi, I know why Zhang Lin can succeed in taking the position and why she can become the boss." ”

is both a colleague and a best friend, there is nothing that can't be said to each other, Shi Lingzhi helped her glasses, and asked with regret: "You know?" ”

Bai Xiaoqian was very surprised, and asked suspiciously: "Do you know?" ”

"I can't see that I'm a fool until now. Don't look at the women around him over the years, they are actually picking. is not only picking a girlfriend, but also picking a mother for Yaoyao. Speaking of which, I admire Zhang Lin a lot, not only has a good temper and is generous, but also makes so many preparations for this day, sending emails, gifts, and video chats to Yaoyao whenever she has time. If Yaoyao doesn't come, she will even go to the United States without saying a word. ”

"She gives a lot?"

"Isn't it, I don't dare to think about being a little mother, even if I dare to think and dare to do it. My mom and dad wouldn't agree. ”

Bai Xiaoqian sighed lightly, shook her head and smiled bitterly: "Lingzhi, it is only now that I understand that he is not Jiayuguan that he can't conquer, and those self-righteous women before didn't find the right direction." He likes to be important. Yaoyao likes more important. If he likes it and Yaoyao doesn't like it, he will not hesitate to cut his love. ”

Shi Lingzhi leaned into her ear and whispered, "To be honest, do you regret it a little?" ”

The family who loved each other got off the plane immediately, Bai Xiaoqian felt very uncomfortable, and sighed and said, "A little." ”

I knew she was more or less interesting. Otherwise, she wouldn't always talk about the boss, let alone look down on one of them, Shi Lingzhi patted her arm, looked at Jiang Huiru and Xia Moqing opposite, and said quietly: "It's not too late to make amends, it's too late to regret now." ”

Director Bai was as fierce as ever, and he shook his head and smiled: "It's late, it's really late, I didn't start at the time, and I don't have a chance to do it now." Besides, it's not on the same starting line, and no one has the conditions of others, so you can't compete with others. ”

Shi Lingzhi covered her mouth and chuckled: "Don't grow other people's ambition and destroy your own prestige, as long as you work hard, there is still a chance for this kind of thing." ”

"Then my conscience will be disturbed, and now the situation is very clear, I can make a little money by keeping to myself, and I will only be able to make nothing if I think about it."

The relationship between the three of them is very delicate, and Shi Lingzhi can see it from the purchase of a house on Chinese New Year's Eve last year.

Zhang Lin has a good temper, but there is a limit.

She can tolerate no matter how much the boss cares, she knows that the boss loves her, no matter what mistakes she makes, she will eventually return to her, but she can't have anything to do with Bai Xiaoqian, because it will spark and produce feelings. As for the boss, he is not obscene, he values love and righteousness, and knows that if something happens to Bai Xiaoqian, it will hurt Zhang Lin deeply.

There were so many opportunities that didn't happen before, and it is even more impossible to happen now, because he has to take into account not only Zhang Lin, but also Yaoyao. Shi Lingzhi could even imagine that when Zhang Lin and Yaoyao had nothing to talk about, it was the day he and Zhang Lin got married.

"So there are gains and losses in this world, at least the cause is successful."

It's better to say it than to hold it in your heart, Bai Xiaoqian said from the bottom of her heart: "But after success, I found that this is not necessarily what I really want, especially for a woman." ”

When the boss went to the United States, she did something crazy, and she did it.

Shi Lingzhi couldn't see her thoughts, and comforted softly: "Xiaoqian, there are many men in the world, there are more handsome than him, and there are many richer than him, there is no need to hang yourself on a tree." Besides, you're not hanging yourself, you're sitting under a tree and looking up stupidly. ”

Bai Xiaoqian pouted and muttered, "I'm not that stupid, but I haven't met a suitable one for the time being." So watch it first, look at it more comfortably, and then say that you don't need to spend money to watch it, and you don't break the law by watching it. ”

"Take your time, don't go crazy."

"Sisters, I am deeply tactful, only others are crazy because of me."

is talking about the intimate words between girlfriends. Director Han Da was carrying a little girl on his back, Zhang Lin was supporting an old man, and Jiang Yi, who had returned on the same plane two days in advance, walked out with a lot of luggage.

Respecting the old and loving the young is the fine tradition of the Chinese nation, Bai Xiao please hurriedly send a bouquet of flowers. Then he obediently supported Old Man Han's right arm, and said apologetically: "Grandpa Han, my name is Bai Xiaoqian, and I am your nephew's lawyer in China, and I haven't been on the phone with you for so many years." I'm really sorry. But I can only blame your nephew and grandson, he won't let me beat you up, for fear that you will always worry. ”

Returning to his hometown and stepping on the land of his hometown, the old man was very happy, smelled the flowers and smiled: "Let the past things pass, don't talk about this." Lawyer Bai, I know you, you are very beautiful and very hardworking. I heard that I opened my own law firm, well, better than when I was younger. ”

"You're too old, we're just making a fuss."

Bai Xiaoqian looked at the eldest lady with her cloak scattered and lying on Director Han Da like an octopus, and couldn't help asking, "Zhang Lin, Yaoyao is asleep?" ”

Zhang Lin shook her head and explained with a smile: "It is illegal to sell alcohol to minors in the United States, and her grandparents are strict, and they have never drunk alcohol since she was a child. I don't know what wine tastes like. She was curious about everything and wanted to try it, and we sat in first class and served drinks. She took advantage of her father's inattention and secretly asked the flight attendant for a few cans of beer, and as soon as she drank it, she got drunk and drunk. ”

The old man was not ashamed, but proud, and said with a smile: "The amount of alcohol is practiced." I've never drunk it, and of course I'll get drunk when I drink it. ”

Sure enough, it was a beautiful and cute mixed-race little girl, Director Li looked sideways at Yaoyao with a wicked smile, and immediately greeted enthusiastically: "Li Bohua of the Public Security Department, warmly welcome Han Lao back to his hometown and province." ”

Jiang Yi, who had just handed over the luggage to the two female directors, hurriedly stepped forward and introduced: "Grandpa Han, this is Director Li of the Political Department of our Public Security Department. ”

"Hello Director Li, hello Director Li, come back and take a look, how embarrassed to work for you."

"You are always a patriotic Chinese, and you are the elder of Director Han, so it is always right to greet you. We, Vice Governor Peng, said that we want to catch up with you and personally thank you for being a veteran of the country and cultivating a talent like Director Han for our Public Security Department. ”

The Han family is a virtuous person, they don't like to deal with leaders, and they won't accept banquets from unfamiliar people, so the old man shook his head again and again: "It is appropriate to cultivate the younger generation, and there is no need to thank you." Besides, I'm old, I can't drink, I can't eat much, it's not interesting to eat with an old man like me, don't be so troublesome. ”

Although the old man declined the banquet of the Public Security Department, it did not mean that he would not be a man, and he finally returned to China for a trip, and he had already prepared, Director Li just asked his daughter to call grandpa sweetly, and received a red envelope containing 100 US dollars. Bai Xiaoqian, Shi Lingzhi, Jiang Huiru, Xia Moqing, as long as the people who come to pick up the airport have a share.

I haven't come back for more than ten years, and I have changed a lot, and I was embarrassed to see so many high-rise buildings outside the car.

When he came to Xishan Villa, he was very satisfied with his great-granddaughter's future living environment, and learned that he still owed more than 10 million yuan to the bank, and immediately said that he would bear more than 10 million yuan. It's not to help Director Han Da, nor to help Zhang Lin, but a great-grandfather who does what he can for his great-granddaughter, there is no doubt.

If you want to go out, you can go, anyway, what he has is money.

Settle him down, send the drunk Yaoyao to the room on the second floor to be taken care of by Jiang, Director Han returned to the living room, and studied the problem of his baby daughter's school with Director Li, Bai Xiaoqian, Jiang Huiru and others.

"Jiangcheng International School, founded in 1996 in Xixia District, is the only school in Jiangcheng that specializes in recruiting foreign children in China, and can provide three stages of academic education for foreign children in the age group of 3-18 years old: primary, secondary and pre-university, and is one of the founding members of the China Association of International Schools (ACAMIS)."

Bai Xiaoqian pointed to the brochure she found from the school and said: "The students come from more than 20 countries, more than 70% of the teaching staff are foreigners, English is taught, and the teaching methods and curriculum adopted are also in line with international standards.

The tuition fee is relatively expensive, hundreds of thousands a year, but it is nothing to you. Lingzhi and I went three times, the conditions are really good, the library is in line with the university, 60 piano rooms keep pace with the times, 900-seat studios, sports and art centers, table tennis halls, swimming pools, tennis courts, beach volleyball courts, basketball courts, skating rinks, 400-meter standard track sports fields, hotel-style canteens. Hotel-like apartments, all available. ”

Zhang Lin received an education in China, and she is a native of Jiangcheng, so she has to listen to her opinions on such a big matter. Director Han Da turned sideways and asked, "Wife, what do you think?" ”

Zhang Lin did not express her position immediately, but asked in a low voice: "Xiaoqian, which countries and regions are most of those students from?" ”

"South Korea is the majority, and then there is Taiwan. There are fewer in Europe and the United States. ”

"Husband, I think so, Yaoyao's situation is more special, unlike those foreign children who can't speak Chinese and don't know anything about China. Unlike domestic children who need to be in line with international standards, need to experience that kind of atmosphere, and need to take the opportunity to learn foreign languages, it really makes no sense to go to an international school, and it is not practical to go to a public school. ”

Director Li couldn't help but ask: "Han Jun, can your daughter speak Chinese?" ”

Director Han smiled proudly: "Yes." I have been learning since I was 3 years old, and I speak standard Mandarin better than the big mountain on TV. "Three Character Classic", "Hundred Family Names", and "Disciple Rules", reciting them backwards. Knowing Confucius, Mencius, and Han Feizi, they are much better than me in this regard. ”

"She studied in the United States?"

"There is a Chinese school over there, and her grandmother, who just passed away, was a very knowledgeable scholar of oriental culture, who could translate the Analects into English, was proficient in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, and could understand Cantonese and SH dialects, and was nurtured from an early age."

"The students at the international school are too delicate. Either rich or expensive, a little thing can annoy parents to death. Since communication is fine, go to public school. ”

"Is that okay?"

"Yes!"

Director Li also took out a stack of papers, and said with a meaningful smile: "Your daughter's daughter is eligible." You can apply for a 'Chinese green card' in accordance with parent-child reunion, and unmarried children under the age of 18 go to their parents, which is justified, reasonable, legal, and reasonable. With this certificate, in addition to the specific rights and obligations that cannot be enjoyed by the government and laws and regulations. In principle, they enjoy the same rights as Chinese citizens.

There is no restriction on the period of stay in China, and they can enter and exit with a valid passport and a 'Chinese green card' without going through other formalities such as visas or extensions; they can go through various procedures for participating in social insurance as a valid identity document, and they can enjoy relevant policies, and the education administrative department of their place of residence will handle the admission and transfer procedures in accordance with the principle of nearby enrollment, and no fees other than those stipulated by the state will be charged. ”

In 2004, the "green card" system was introduced in China.

A "Foreigner's Permanent Residence Permit," which has only a faint touch of green and looks like an ID card, once ignited the enthusiasm of many foreigners in China -- if they apply for a green card, they will not need to apply for another visa for 10 years.

However, it is difficult for Chinese to apply for a US green card, and it is even more difficult for foreigners to apply for a "Chinese green card"!

More than 200 green cards are processed every year, and less than 5,000 green cards have been issued since 2004, while more than 20 million foreigners enter the country every year, and no less than 600,000 foreigners permanently residing in China. If you don't have a big contribution or a senior position in a large company, or you are not a talent in the Thousand Talents Program, you basically don't need to apply.

Director Han Da had heard about it for a long time, not only knew that it was difficult to do, and knew that he could enjoy the treatment that Director Li had just introduced, but also knew that after having a "Chinese green card", Yaoyao could buy domestic flights or train tickets in China, shop, buy tickets to parks and various cultural and sports venues, and stay in hotels, etc., which could be treated the same as Chinese citizens at the same price.

Although it doesn't save much money, it can give her a very fair feeling.

Director Han was very moved, stared at him and said: "Director Li, thank you for the help you have given me and our family in the hall, and when you come back to worship your ancestors, I will send you an invitation card to come to my house for a meal and express your gratitude in person." ”

It's really pitiful for the hearts of parents all over the world, for the sake of their children, he is willing to do so.

Director Li subconsciously glanced at his daughter, opened the information and said: "Let's talk about the meal later, first determine the school, the "Foreigner Permanent Residence Permit" can be done in a week, and now you can communicate with the education department, the teaching quality of the city No. 1 middle school is good, and the conditions are not worse than that of international schools; The fourth middle school is close to here, and the pick-up and drop-off is more convenient. ”

Yaoyao is going back to the United States to go to college in the future, for Chinese students grades are a hard standard, for American students in all aspects of ability is more important, as long as they can finish high school in China, there is no problem in going back to the United States to enter university.

Han Jun weighed it, pointed to the information and said: "The fourth middle school, it's close to home, you don't need to go to the best school." (To be continued.) )
