Willy is a sceptic, but often have rigth in the end, unfortunantly.

Wonder what the respons will be if you say you can come and visit her next week ;)

Hoping for the best for you.

I have to agree with Willy....

My wife (who is resident here in Aus with me), recently had to get involved with a health problem her Father in China developed.

He needed to go into Hospital for treatment and Ming asked me if we could help with the Hospital expenses as he had to have the cash to pay before they would treat him.

There are NO billing accounts for Hospitals in China except the "Westernised" Private Hospitals that are ruinously expensive anyway.

Just to be a sad sack....be aware that modern scammers are very sophisticated...they will "play their fish" for a long, long time if they think they will get paid eventually. All your protestations about being a normal, not-rich working guy will be politely ignored...after all you are  Western man...and ALL of them are rich, despite what they say.

You have already shown your willingness to part with money to a woman you have never met so the precedent is set.........sorry, but I think you are being played

The only way to begin to get resolution is to get over there soonest and see for yourself.

I think anything is possible I guess...but why would she invest all her time knowing there would be no payoff outside of coming to the US? A few weeks back...she thought we should stay in the US until I retire...then go live in Weihai. Yesterday she mentioned she used to be rich and now very distressed about her financial situation. BTW when I offered her English lesson money, it was only after she made her sitting room into her bedroom because she rented her room out for extra money for the lessons. I wanted the privacy, and with the odd hours waking others.

I have read so must about Chinese women and money, it's hard to think she treats her love interest as a financial transaction.
Her home is on the market for 885000...so far the best offer is 650000, I guess if the bank "recovers" the home she will lose all face, yes?

I did tell her...that I am still coming to Wuhan in May to kiss her face! Haha But, I'd better have a backup plan for sure!

Note! This site has a great spell-check!

Chris,

Good luck with everything and I hope it works out for you and her.

I have a good friend in Wuhan - a Chinese woman (not my gf) who is having her own issues with her American bf sick in hospital at the moment and she is unable to get over to the States to be with him. Anyway if you need a contact on the ground there let me know.

cheers,
Steve

fivetrout:
Hey thanks Steve so much! I'll keep that offer in mind.

Yup, she keeps calling on skype and phone, but after taking the wind from my sails...I'm just not in the mood to talk right now. She has some friends over today that speak English...but I won't be an entertainer today. haha
