Mr. Zhu Bin was my classmate of Missouri State University 2008 to 2009.
He was born in Shenyan but worked in Shanghai. Before we left for China, he and his wife and child had a reunion in their own house in Springfield, MO.
Can you imagine? As soon as he came to the US, he bought a house here and now, he has been a resident of Springfield, by investment immigration.
When I was a student in Missouri State, always I worked on school classes and painting along with a triangle among the campus, home and Wal-mart, we knew each other, but we had almost no any communication. Therefore, I was so surprised when he asked me: " Are You Shirley? " when my American friend Wanda and her husband drove me to a Chinese Church. I did know him, but I could not speak out of his name...
Anyway, the naturally kind feeling to meet a classmate in the far always USA, we did feel very well and since that day, it seems like to be sent to help me by the God, Mr. Zhu Bin has been helping me, becoming a strong assistance.
Just because of his good help, especially driving for me, and directing to me as a local resident and an experienced manager in the foreign trade industry, at the time I have no a car in my travel; my former private tutor Mr. Gong Xiaoou could not work with me for he has become a full time employee, my temporary son Qiu Xiao has had a busy part time work in the campus and he has sold his car for he will go back China after getting his master degree. I did feel I am lucky enough to be looked after by the God via making me to meet a former classmate by the leading of an American friend in a Chinese church.
By the good help of Mr. Zhu Bin, my marketing job has made a rapid progress and with his good support as a local resident, my dream to found a base in Springfield may not be an empty word.
I will really like to cherish my luck and try to do my best to make a best cooperation with Mr. Zhu Bin.
I really hope Mr. Zhu Bin, his wife and child will be happier, luckier and more successful now and in the future.
