REUPLOAD - From Tinder to Marriage: An Austrian-Chinese Love Story in Shanghai

And, um, I did a, I did, I went there with my best friend.

We traveled one month around China and then I did my three months, uh, internship.

And after that I should have gone home.

Um, I extended my visit a slightly bit because the visa in China is very strict.

You cannot-

Mm-hmm

... stay like over it.

So like you don't get long time.

So I was crying when I needed to go home and I lived at my host mom in China this, at this time.

So I told her, "You know what? I don't wanna go home.

I will leave all my stuff here."

Oh, wow.

Came with one suit- one suitcase by the way.

Maybe I should mention when I went to China I was 24 and I just took one suitcase.

I quit my rent in Austria.

I put all my furniture and all my stuff, uh, between my parents and my siblings and just left for China for the internship with one suitcase.

And then when I needed to leave China again, I said, "Okay, I don't go.

I leave my stuff at my host mom and I will come back for sure." I didn't know how, but I will come back.

And that's what I did.

I went to Austria because my visa was expired and I was there for three weeks.

And I had, uh, during this time in China, I made some friends, so they invited me over for Chinese New Year four years ago.

And, uh, that's why I came for a one-month visit on the tourist visa, which was actually already not easy to get a tourist visa even though I had a friend letter who invites me to come.

Still the embassy in Vienna were very strict asking me.

They even interviewed me.

How do I know this guy? And why is he a friend? And what is he doing? All these questions.
