Our Story我们的故事
We met on HelloTalk — a language-exchange app — each of us a few months into traveling the other's country, swapping tips across a screen. Half a year of messages later, Lina flew home to China while Michael was still there, and we finally met in person.
Two weeks after that first meeting, Michael invited Lina to spend Christmas with his family in the US — and, oddly enough, she said yes. We've been circling the globe together ever since, living a quarter of the year in each of our favorite places (and where our parents are): Chaozhou, Kunming, the Netherlands, and the US.
The proposal was a sunrise picnic on Dali's Erhai Lake, where Michael asked the most romantic question of all time: “Do you want your ring now, or later?” Now we're gathering everyone we love into one forest to celebrate — come see the life we've built and the China we love. We'll take care of the rest.
我们相识于语言交换软件 HelloTalk——那时我们各自在对方的国家旅行了几个月，隔着屏幕交换旅途心得。聊了大半年后，丽娜回国，而迈克恰好还在中国，我们才第一次见面。
见面才两周，迈克就邀请丽娜去美国和家人一起过圣诞——她竟然（莫名其妙地）答应了。从那以后，我们便一起环游世界，还立下一个小目标：每年按季节，住在我们各自最爱、也是父母所在的地方——潮州、昆明、荷兰、美国。
求婚是在大理洱海边的一场日出野餐，迈克问出了『史上最浪漫』的一句话：「你想现在戴上戒指，还是等一会儿？」如今，我们想把所有心爱的人聚到同一片森林里，一起庆祝——来看看我们一路走来的生活，和我们深爱的中国。其余的，都交给我们。
