RE: Burning questions about teaching English in China #7: I ever visited Beijing

in #china6 years ago (edited)

Dear teacher/professor, I know you are teaching in Zhengzhou,I am so near to Zhengzhou! Several times I have an impulse to visit you, but I daren't disturb you. Because I respect and worship American teacher/professor so much. I believe you have known about my miserable love story with my late American husband more or less. I am mistaken and hated by his American family all along, they regarded me as a marriage scammer, a greedy Chinese woman only for money. No matter how I try my best to explain, they refuse to understand me. I dealt with my American husband's funeral by myself without getting any help from anybody. I paid all the expense, of course, it is the money my late American husband earned and saved in China.
He also left a Chinese bank card, I wanted to take money out of it, pitifully I was told not to allow doing it since I forgot its password, so it became the heritage. According to Chinese law, the heritage should be shared by the deceased's parents, spouse and children together. Without his American family's authorization/cooperation, I can do nothing.
In fact, I have given up the effort of getting his money. My late American husband was also my dearest English teacher, he taught me English for several years online for free, he passed away in China lonely, (his Chinese school-that bloody private English training school refused to be responsible for his death compensation due to his lack of Chinese working visa; his American family also refused to come to China, dealing with his funeral.)even if only being his Chinese student, it is the duty for me to cremate his remains and let his soul rest in peace.

I did it. Just let his money/property belong to his American kids...

Pitifully bad luck falls on me again. I don't know if you know about Chinese Alipay. At that time my American husband and I travelled a lot of places from Beijing to Zhengzhou, Nanchang, Shenzhen to HK, etc. because we must go through the complicated cross-nation marriage registration and his Chinese marriage visa formalities, (I believe you must know how those Chinese procedures can torture people to death better than anyone else.) we spent a lot of money, including booking hotels and train tickets, so I accumulated a lot of Alipay points. After my husband had gone, I found that Alipay had a new service named 蚂蚁借呗ant loan. I can be allowed to borrow 30,000 Chinese yuan at one time. Later I know the common Alipay ant loan amount is only 3,000 Chinese yuan, some is only 500 Chinese yuan, which depends on personal Alipay credit card.
Someday I got a message from Ant Loan that there was a favorable policy, the interest rate was very low. I couldn't help having a try. Oh, if I narrate the details on how I run across the scammer who pretended as the Ant loan custom service agent and how I transferred 25,000 Chinese yuan to the bank card number that the scammer offered to me, it can be a long story.
Once I realized that I was cheated, I reported the local police station immediately. Very unluckily, the police told me that it would be a big trouble on the spot.
1 year passed, no news about my case comes. But Alipay urges me to pay money back several times via my mobile number being shown in my Alipay account.
I insist that it is not me who borrowed money and I am the victim. Alipay insists that it is my Alipay account with my name, I must pay. The truth is I have no money, I am a poor Chinese from countryside. My Alipay credit points are mostly accumulated by my late American husband's money. I admit in a short time, I lived like a wealthy person. In fact, my American husband and I must stay in the expensive hotel. There is an unwritten rule in China that foreigners are not permitted to stay in the cheap hotel. My personal salary is so low, and what's worse, I am ill, diabetes since I am too sad too sad for losing my husband. I have only 1,000 Chinese yuan being the sick leave income now. How can I repay 25,000 Chinese yuan as well as the horrible interests?
On the thought of my late American husband's miserable death in China, nobody took care of it. I just ignore Alipay's calls, let things slide...
Who knows just a few days ago, I found 360 Chinese yuan was deducted from my bank card automatically by Alipay, the record shows that it is an authomatical repayment to 蚂蚁借呗Ant Loan. I am really too shocked.
This time I must face the fact! In the Ant Loan page, it shows that I must pay a lot of extra interests due to delayed repayment.
Oh, God, I can forgive others, others don't let me go. I can't continue to keep silent, so I took the liberty to write a Help Letter to Chinese embassy in US, I want to take money out of my late American husband's Chinese bank card. If I must pay Alipay/Ant Loan, please let Alipay deduct money from my husband's Chinese bank card directly, please help me contact my American husband's kids, let them authorize the Chinese bank.

OK, the Chinese embassy gave me a reply very soon. They say that they sympathize with me after reading my story, but they have no way to help me contact my American husband's family. What they can do is only offer me a list of American lawyers if I need deal with my late American husband's property in US.

I have posted my Help Letter to Chinese embassy in Steemit.
But I have known such a fact clearly that no lawyer can help me. On the one hand, I have no money to hire the international lawyer; and on the other hand, no law can force his American family to authorize me.
At first my American husband's oldest son told me that he was in the college, he must get his degree which is his father's wish. and if Chinese school refused to be responsible for his father's death, just forgive them. After he graduated from college, he would like to help me go to US which was also his father's wish. Now he had no money, he even owed a lot of money to college tuition, so just let me deal with his father's funeral. I sympathized with him, I know how important it is for anyone to obtain college diploma. Oh, God knows my late American husband was just my English diploma, God knows how I learn English by myself for so many so many years! I wish he can graduate smoothly... So I did everything...
1 year later, he graduated and became an engineer with good salary. He broke his words to me. What's more, he even cursed me to let his father die in China.
After he told me that he had done with me, he had done with China, he never gave me any reply no matter how I tried my best to explain.
I don't know why I let his father die, his father is not others, he is my dear husband...
I really hate myself, I hate myself to try my best to apply for his father's Chinese marriage visa. I don't know how to do, I groped my way very hardly, who knows how I was hurt and threatened? who knows how I paid for it? My American husband didn't know how I did for him due to language barrier. I am only a poor and humble Chinese woman in the bottom of Chinese society, I have no ability to leave a noble American citizen in China, I am wrong, wrong, wrong...
I even told his father that maybe we shouldn't marry...
And my American husband insisted not to return to US before I got American visa, God knows how true our love is....
Pitifully he left the world suddenly forever, nobody knows the truth. They can curse me and slander me! Only because I am poor...but they are hurting their father... He passed lonely in China, they don't see him at the last time.
They just live with their step-father, only because their natural father became poor, having no way to offer them the good life like before...like when he was a wealthy phamacist...
Of course, I believe that his kids also love their father deeply, the reason on this great tragedy is very various. It is all due to extreme ignorance, after all, it is about different country, different cultural background, different race...
I wish there is a great man who can be a great bridge between China and US, a great man who is an expert between China and US.
Dear teacher/professor, I know that great man is just you. You are an American who has lived and worked in China for more than 10 years, you love teaching English in China like my late American husband, and you know the harsh visa policy between China and US, and you know what a huge gap between the poor and the rich it is in China, you know how Chinese woman is in a low family station...
I sincerely pray that you can lend a helping hand to me. Maybe you can help me communicate with my late American husband's oldest son, and letting him give me authorization and take money out of his father's Chinese bank card. I don't want to be deducted and threatened by Ant Loan any more, although I am innocent, it is caused by the bloody scammers.
If I offend you, please forgive me and ignore me!
My wechat ID is ginafraser.
Any kindhearted American in China can add me in Wechat freely, if you would like to help me contact my late American husband's oldest son.
