In 2001, the Chinese boy Mei Aiyu of Hebei went to study in Ukraine after losing the college entrance examination. In recent years, he has become popular because of sharing multinational marriage life on the Chinese Internet, and has become an Internet celebrity that millions of people pay attention to. He also cashed in the benefits of Internet celebrities in the Internet era, seized the dividends brought by China’s current singles and economic boom, and used his fame and appeal to set up a multinational marriage platform to introduce Ukrainian girlfriends to the mysterious male middle class in China: left-handed output With traditional Chinese men’s values, his right hand looks for various business opportunities in the hands of male members of dating clubs. The ordinary Chinese young man who lost the starting line in the college entrance examination at that time realized a great reversal in Ukraine. Not only did he marry a beautiful Ukrainian wife, he had a mixed-race baby, but he lived in a 3000-square-meter villa.
When he met his wife Dasha at the age of 38, she was only 16 years old, and Mei Ai was 28 years old. Two years later, the two married. A year and a half later, her daughter “Little Fox” was born.
In a male-dominated Chinese society, pretty wives or girlfriends are more or less part of male show-offs. Although the match between a Chinese husband and a foreign wife is very rare, marrying a beautiful foreign wife adds a certain degree of glory to the Chinese male face. Du Xianzhi, a lecturer at Hong Kong Baptist University, believes that this is a manifestation of “Chinese imperialism.” The wealthy in China want to show their capabilities globally, and they think they can conquer foreign women as a manifestation of strength. Du Xianzhi believes that conquering foreign women brings a sense of accomplishment to Chinese men.
Mysterious Chinese male member of Ukrainian “beauty”
Mei Aiyi set her bikini photo of Dasha as her homepage photo on the Chinese social platform Weibo. In the middle of the homepage is Mei Ai’s camera lens photo. After putting the daily photos of his wife and daughter on the social platform Weibo and WeChat circle of friends, he unknowingly accumulated millions of fans on the Internet in China and became an influencer. He often interacts with his wife’s Weibo account, basking in the sweetness, and basking in the idyllic life of Ukrainian lakes and blue waters and blue sky.
He has also been a search celebrity for the Chinese search engine Baidu People. If you search for the keyword Ukraine in Baidu, the top search result displayed in the column of related people is Mei Aiyu, a “model of counterattack”, and Russian President Putin is behind him. On the Chinese social network, Mei Aiyi seems to sketch a beautiful life at his fingertips: a failed college entrance examination can reverse life overseas, marry a 12-year-old foreign blonde young wife, and sit in a 3000-square-meter villa. , Also has a mixed-race baby. Weibo netizens not only paid attention to his life dynamics, but also proposed Mei Aiyi to introduce foreign girlfriends to them 2 years ago, and then naturally there was Mei Aiyi ’s current 30-person team “Youai Ukraine” dating platform.
The team recruited female members locally in Ukraine and also hosted large blind dates dinners and other events there. It also trains Chinese male members on how to date foreign girls, such as teaching Chinese boys to wear suits for the first date, driving doors for girls, sending flowers to girls, and so on. At present, 40 pairs of men and women have been successfully matched to establish a love relationship.
However, the faces of Chinese male members are hardly visible in all the videos provided by Mei Aiyi.
The faces of Chinese male members can hardly be seen in all the videos provided by Mei Aiyi. I saw in the video that the Ukrainian girls walked down the stairs of the hotel’s banquet hall in an evening dress at the banquet, sometimes they flirted at the camera and kissed them.
He explained that there is a confidentiality agreement with male members to keep their identity confidential, and also because many male members do not want to (let others know) through which channels and activities they know their future girlfriend after returning home. Some people even say that they are “beauties” who are embarrassed when traveling in Ukraine.
Du Xianzhi analyzed that Mei Aiyi’s business was successful because she sold her own success stories to similar people. Fans also wanted to be the envy of others. Finding wives across borders is also a reflection of their growing economic strength and social status.
Chinese middle-class men flying to Ukraine
After flying to Ukraine four times this year and dating a fourth girl, Mr. Cai, 29, and Nasija, a 19-year-old girl from Ukraine, established a relationship.
Mr. Cai from Jiangsu, China became a VIP member of the club at the beginning of 2018 with an admission fee of 300,000 RMB. Member benefits are that they can participate in group activities about 6 times and can date 24 Ukrainian girls individually.
Mr. Cai is engaged in the real estate industry, with an annual income of more than one billion yuan. He described “his material conditions are pretty good.” Wanting to have a mixed-race baby, (Ukraine) girl Gu’s family, so join the club and fly to Ukraine in search of love.
After flying to Ukraine four times last year and dating a fourth girl, Mr. Cai, 29, and Nazja, a 19-year-old girl from Ukraine, established a relationship.
Mr. Cai said that introducing blind date to nearly a hundred girls at home in China, because the appearance and personality of the two sides are not suitable, they have been single. He described Sijia as “the (girls) we were in the 1980s and 1990s, especially pure and Gu family. There is no reform and opening up.” He recalled that when Sijia travels, she sees tourists littering and will help her pick it up. Girls love to do nail art. When she asks that the price is too expensive, she doesn’t do it.
Now Sijia has moved to China to live with Mr. Cai. She is studying in China and will learn Chinese in the future. After learning Chinese well, Mr. Cai plans to bring Ukrainian catering and hotels to China and take care of her. I hope my girlfriend can help herself in her career.
When the reporter interviewed Mr. Cai, Sijia was doing homework in the next room. The reporter offered to interview Si Jia, and Mr. Cai recounted Si Jia’s tender refusal, saying he was too shy to be interviewed. In the new year of 2019, Mr. Cai successfully proposed to Sijia.
Helping the Chinese rich buy Ukrainian girls?
Ukrainian girls who are looking for a sense of security and quality of life are just one part of Mei Aiyi’s many businesses.
Chinese media have questioned Mei Aiyi ’s platform is helping Chinese rich people buy Ukrainian girls. Some members told him, “If the package is successful, it will not be the same as our ideas and levels.” Although Mei Aiyi vigorously introduced his platform to let men and women build love on the basis of feelings, but no It can be denied that his male members are at least the middle class in China who can afford at least RMB 100,000 and as many as RMB 1 million VIP super members. Local female members in Ukraine have “economic conditions” and pay a membership fee of 100 yuan.
Behind the huge difference in membership fees between the two countries, there is also China’s economic strength over Ukraine. Mei Aiyu also admits that he and the team cannot monitor the private transactions of the 1 to 4 ratio members of this club.
The imbalance in the ratio of men to women in China is prominent. Experts estimate that by 2020, the number of male bachelors in excess will reach 30 million, and the “bachelor crisis” may erupt by then. There are 4 million marriageable women in Ukraine, and he says about half of them have no objection to foreign marriage. But official data show that the number of transnational marriages that are actually registered is very small. Data from the Ukrainian Institute of Population and Society show that in the past 15 years, transnational marriages between China and Ukraine have grown from 28 to 90. The total number of transnational marriages in Ukraine increased from 10,000 in 2002 to 14,000 in 2017.
Du Xianzhi believes that Chinese women are getting more and more educated, and coupled with the popularization of female autonomy, Chinese men can no longer simply “please” them, so they have to look outside. Ukrainian women are also willing to follow the traditional gender division of labor, which is in line with the needs of Chinese men.
Ukrainian sociologist Svitlana Panina said Ukrainian girls marry a foreign country in search of a safer life. Official figures show that one million local women have suffered domestic violence.
But Natalia Koval, the owner of a local wedding company in Ukraine, said that sometimes Ukrainian women do n’t like Chinese men, and some Ukrainian women think Chinese men are unattractive.
Anna Chernenko, another Ukrainian wedding company, says Ukrainian women are more likely to marry men from European countries. They not only want to seek a safer life, but also to find the person they like, but Chinese men only value their blond hair and thin and fragile bodies. They don’t care about their inner beings.
Anna Ivanova, a 26-year-old Ukrainian girl who has been working in Macau for six months, said that on the streets of China, in shops and on public transportation, the beautiful Ukrainian girl was noticeable and people wanted to take a photo with her. “I have a lot of Ukrainian friends who have no feelings when they marry in China. But Chinese men are honest, reliable, attentive, and have a strong sense of family.”
