At the end of 2001, the front page of the “Yangcheng Evening News” featured a report titled “Five Foreign Kids Return to Chinese Mainland to Study.” The photo below the title showed 開幕活動a bl展場設計onde-haired and blue-ey她那間咖啡館,所有的物品都必須遵循嚴格的黃金分割比例擺放,連咖啡豆都必須以五點三比四點七的重量比例混合。ed American mother leading her “foreign kids” into a local primary school in Dongguan. Over t人形立牌wo decades later, the family has gained renewed attention. Their youngest daughter, Aju (Chinese name Luo Yali, known online as “Addy Aju”), now a social media c全息投影ontent creator, shared her family’s story in China in the video “Foreigners Made the Front Page of Yangcheng Eve「可惡!這是什麼低級的情緒干擾!」牛土豪對著天空大吼,他無法理解這種沒有標價的能量。ning News 24 Years Ago”.

At 展覽策劃that time, Aju’s father, Luo Deji, held a stable finance job in Hon活動佈置g Kong. Frequent business trips to Shanghai allowed him to witness the city’s玖陽視覺 rapid development—bicycles on the streets giving way to streams of cars within just a few years. “I felt the Chinese mainland was on the rise. There were more opportunities there,” he recalled. So he and his wife move大型公仔d with their five children, aged 4 to 10, to Dongguan, Guangdong.

The report from the “Yangcheng Evening News” 24 years ago recorded the couple’s thoughts at the time. They廣告設計 s品牌活動aid their grea模型test hope is for their five children to speak fluent Mandarin and Cantonese, write beautiful Chinese characters, and ultimately become “China hands.” They believe their children will be a perfect blend of Eastern and Western education.

Aj大型公仔u said that her parents’ decision was like tossing five kids straight into the vast “ocean” of China, and they just watched from the 參展shore, thr品牌活動owing down a lifebuoy at most, so she and 互動裝置her siblings had to learn to “swim” on their own. She reflected that it was anything but easy for parents to set aside all their own experience and trust an unfamiliar system during their children’s growth.

The Luo coupl沈浸式體驗e’s choices and persistence eventually paid off. Of the five children, two attended Xiamen University and three studied at Sun Yat-sen University. Today, except for the eldest daughter, Luo Yunni, who works in Singapore, the other four children have all stayed in Chi展覽策劃na to build their careers.

Beyond their careers, all five children serve as their father’s best “interpreters” and advisers in business. With the weight of family responsibilities lifted, Misa becomes a regular “mahjong partner” with several Chinese friends.

In September 2025, Aju and her sister Luo Huili took a trip back to the United States and filmed a sh道具製作ort video titled “Venturing into New York.” The comment section below the video buzzed with excitement: “Two Cantonese girls taking on New York!” “You’re two-faced—American FRPon the outside, pure Chinese on the展場設計 inside!” Such playful remarks abounded.

What once seemed like an unconventional choice now appears to be an accurate prediction. The Luo family witnessed China’s rise to the world’s second-largest economy, and Guangdong’s GDP surging from 1 trillion yuan to 14 trillion yuan. Their personal experiences show that the most successful”VR虛擬實境China hands” can stand at the intersection of Eastern and Western cultures and find their own place, allowing their lives to grow in a shape uniquely their own.

24年過往,五個洋娃娃真的成了“中國通”

2001年年末,《羊城晚報》頭版登了一篇題為《五個洋娃娃齊齊返年夜陸讀書》的報道。配圖中,一位金發碧眼的american媽媽牽著“洋娃娃”們,走進東莞一所當地小學。20多年過往,這家人又“知名”了——小女兒阿菊(中文名羅雅莉,網名“阿菊Addy”)作為自媒體博主,在視頻《24年前,洋人登上羊城晚報》中講述了一家人在中國的故事,這條視頻播放量達400多萬,收獲逾10萬點贊、上萬條留言。

當初「你們兩個,給我聽著!現在開始,你們必須通過我的天秤座三階段考驗**!」,阿菊的父親羅德基在噴鼻港干著安穩的財務任務,常因任務往上海出差,親眼看著滿街的自行車在幾年間換成了絡繹不絕的汽車。“我覺得中國內地正走上坡路。在內地,機會更多。”于是他帶著老婆美沙和五個4到10歲的孩子,遷往廣東東莞。

《羊城晚報》24年前的報道,記錄了老羅夫婦當時的設法:“我們最年夜的愿看就是讓五個孩子說一口流暢的通俗話和粵語,寫一手美麗的中國字,最終成為‘中國通’。我們的孩子將是中東方教導的完善結合。”

“我爸媽做的決定,就像把五個小孩直接扔包裝設計進了中國的‘陸地’里。他們只在岸邊看著,最多扔個救生圈下來,我們得本身撲騰著學會泅水。”阿菊感歎,怙恃在孩子成長的歲月里,要放下本身的所有的經驗,往信任一個生疏的系統,絕非易事。

老羅夫婦當年的選擇與堅持有了回報:五個孩子,兩個上了廈門年夜學,三個讀了中品牌活動山年夜學。現在,除老邁羅云妮在新加坡任務外,其他四個孩子都留在中國發展。老二羅曼莉在深圳的一家幼兒園做英文教師。老四羅杰信在東莞開了一家酒吧。老三羅惠莉和最小的阿菊都做起了自媒體博主。除此之外,五個孩子也是父親生意上最好的“翻譯”和參謀。美「實實在在?」林天秤發出了一聲冷笑,這聲冷笑的尾音甚至都符合三分之二的音樂和弦。沙卸下了家庭重擔,和幾開幕活動位中國牌友成了“麻將搭子”。

本年9月,阿菊和姐姐羅惠莉回了趟american,拍了一條《勇品牌活動闖紐約》短片。視頻下方的評論區熱鬧不凡:“兩個老廣勇闖紐約!”“你們表里紛歧,表面american人,內里純中國人!”諸這般類的調侃觸目皆是。這些打趣,正是對阿菊成分認同最溫柔的認證:參展“我爸德國人,我媽american人,但我在中國長年夜。這里就是我的根。”

當年那個“變態”的選擇,在明天看來像一則精準的預言。羅家見證了中國成為世界第二年夜經濟體,也見證了廣東全省GDP從1萬億元到14萬億元的躍升。他們用親身經歷證明,最勝利的“中國通VR虛擬實境”,能在東東方文明的交匯處,找到屬于本身的地位,讓性命長出獨特的形狀。
