Maybe in my previous life, I was a Chinese......
The Frenchman Lao Lu, who now lives in Hangzhou, quickly became popular online in September 2022 because he obtained a "Chinese green card".
A series of operations after he received the "Chinese green card" led to the explosion.
Lao Lu dressed up early in the morning, couldn't wait to come to the public security bureau, and said quite confidently: "I don't think many people are here for green cards." ”
Lao Lu finally arrived at his destination, trembling and taking his "Chinese Green Card", the name bar on which was displayed as "Lu Ming". Excited, he kept muttering: "Electrocuted, electrocuted."
This "Show China Green Card" quickly became popular as soon as it was released, and the number of times has exceeded 7 million.
Why is he so excited about the "Chinese green card"? Then again.
The full name of "China Green Card" is the People's Republic of China Permanent Residence Identity Card for Foreigners, commonly known as "China Green Card", commonly known as the five-star card.
Holders of Chinese green cards can buy houses, cars, and driver's licenses in China, and travel in and out of China freely. For those who love to travel and explore, this is undoubtedly significant.
Lao Lu excitedly made all kinds of "riotous operations" because he got a "Chinese green card".
As soon as the old road came out of the Public Security Bureau, the place where he went straight was actually an Internet café.
When he was a child, Lao Lu liked to patronize Internet cafes and play games.
Upon arrival in China, the status of a foreigner often turns the old way away.
Unfortunately, the Internet café only accepts ID cards, but does not recognize the "Chinese green card", so Lao Lu can only leave disappointed.
However, the high interest of the old road was not affected, but moved to the most dense place.
When taking a train or high-speed train, the "Chinese green card" can bring a lot of convenience.
You can directly swipe your card to enter the station like Chinese, without having to show your passport, visa and other documents at the ticket gate as before.
A "ding" sound when entering the pit stop makes the convenience immeasurable.
Lao Lu, as a "China expert", is actually easily recognized as Chinese, if you don't look at his face.
Lao Lu often **movies, recording**, and his adaptation to Chinese life even exceeds that of some Chinese. If you want to talk about his story with China, you have to start from 1991.
When Lao Lu traveled to China for the first time, he made an appointment with a few friends to go to Jiuhua Mountain in Anhui Province and had a great time.
However, when Lao Lu returned to Berlin, he always felt empty inside.
At that time, I had the opportunity to come to China as a tour guide.
Lao Lu came to China again in 1995 and 1996 and became a tour guide for Chinese tourists. In fact, Lao Lu is not just a tour guide in China.
He worked in a high-end plush toy factory in Hong Kong and opened a new toy factory in Dongguan for his boss.
Later, Lao Lu also went to Beijing CCTV West France Channel as the host.
His academic qualifications are closely related to the reasons why he is competent.
After Lao Lu came to China, he still did not give up his studies.
He is pursuing a master's degree at Beijing Normal University, specializing in English courses that interest him in the development of contemporary Chinese culture.
At the age of 45, he went to the Hong Kong Polytechnic University to pursue a PhD in sociology.
Lao Lu's experience in China can be described as colorful, he not only completed his studies, achieved career success, but also found true love.
In 2016, he came to Hangzhou to conduct field research, focusing on full-time public welfare workers in China.
In the process, he met his wife Ye Feng. At that time, Ye Feng was volunteering, and Lao Lu happened to interview her.
In the process of communication, they found out that they had the same interests and hobbies with each other, so they quickly exchanged *** and after only a month, they hurriedly received their marriage certificate.
Ye Feng is an important reason for Lao Lu to settle in Hangzhou, he said.
It's been more than seven years since they've been married, but their lives are still as sweet as ever.
Lao Lu has been fond of table tennis since he was a teenager and once ranked among the best in the circle of friends.
Lao Lu was suddenly asked to take a class, which surprised him very much.
When Lao Lu competed with the primary school students who won the second place in the primary school group in Hangzhou, he didn't take his opponent seriously and didn't care much about him.
Lao Lu didn't expect that he barely received a ball when the opponent deliberately released water.
Lao Lu suffered a setback in the table tennis match, but he was not willing to fail, so he decided to challenge the Chinese test paper again.
Lao Lu had a whim and decided to challenge the Chinese college entrance examination language test paper.
Lao Lu's level is indeed not to be underestimated, and he answered three questions correctly in the multiple-choice questions, for a total of five. What's even more surprising is that he can understand Chinese poetry.
However, as the difficulty increases, veterans also have to admit that it is too difficult.
With the prevalence of short**, Lao Lu began to record his life by shooting**. Today, he has become an UP master with nearly one million fans on station B.
Lao Lu's humorous and witty rhetoric is quite popular on China's ** platform.
Lao Lu once released an issue of **, called "The French test the foreign language proficiency of xx (prestigious school) college students? ”。
Random interviews were conducted with college students from prestigious universities such as Peking University and Tsinghua University to find out how good their English skills were.
In the course of the interview, there was an interesting scene, Lao Lu actually forgot how to pronounce the word "law firm" in English.
Lao Lu has lived in China for more than 30 years and has come to speak Chinese as his mother tongue.
However, Lao Lu should not be underestimated, and he is fluent in three languages: Chinese, English and French.
Lao Lu's residence is located in Liangzhu Cultural Village, and the outside of the house is full of greenery, and the tea cabinet inside the house is full of various tea sets.
His screen name is Lao Lu because he likes to drink tea.
Lao Lu himself admits that in fact, he is not proficient in tea art, but he loves tea very much.
Since 2002, at a friend's place, he tasted Fuzhou's advertising Tieguanyin and Pu'er tea, and since then he has been unable to extricate himself.
He remained interested in the subject, and the object of his research was a book that incorporated the five elements of yin and yang and the doctrine of eight trigrams.
Tea is divided into yin and yang by books, for example, white tea, black tea, and yellow tea belong to feminine tea, while green tea, oolong tea, and black tea belong to masculine tea.
Lao Lu found the concept very interesting, but he has not been able to read the book to the end: "I really can't keep up".
Since then, people who know tea have come together to exchange stories about tea, which has become the old way to delve into the tea ceremony.
Lao Lu now often shares tea culture and life trivia on Weibo, and his content is presented in a mixture of Chinese, English and French.
He also recently shared his experience of participating in the "2023 Hangzhou International Talent Exchange and Project Cooperation Conference".
There are also bits and pieces about getting along with his wife, mother-in-law and other details of life.
