She got on and he drove off. He said he  4  having her on the back, as it was nice  5  . But after a time he forgot that she was there. Suddenly he  6  but he realized that he couldn't feel her knees  7  against him! He  8  behind him but...she wasn't there.

He said he felt frightened  9  his life! He felt cold all over. He thought she must have  10  off the back. So he turned round and  11  back along the road. He didn't find her. He went to see if she had crawled （爬） into a field or something. But he didn't find her. So he began to think that she might have been  12  by someone else.

He went into a pub and talked to the barman. He told the barman what had happened. He said the barman didn't seem to be at all  16 . He just carried on  17  the glasses.

Then the barman said, "You're not the  18  person to come in here and tell the same  19 .That girl you think you picked up  20  seven years ago... in a motorbike accident. "

    To all of you at Chinese love links,

I am 44 years old and never married. I have always wanted to find that perfect someone that I dream about. For about the last five years I have almost given up the hope of ever finding the one I truly wish to spend the rest of my life with.

I have always tried to be a nice guy. I had found your website some four or five months before. I did not know what to expect. I don’t know how to speak Chinese and never thought truly of how I was to an Asian woman.

Well, I had a lot of replies from some very nice and pretty women. I had a hard time finding only a couple to write to. But one stood out from the rest. She was cute, nice and seemed to hold a lot of the same values as I do. In a short time I had decided to write only to her. We communicated via e – mails 2 – 3 times a day and phone calls once or twice a week.

I went and met her and her family only a week ago. Her name is Ying and she lives in Nanning. I found Nanning to be one of the most beautiful cities I had ever been to. We had even decided to marry and to bring her to the USA under the fiancée visa. Not only did she meet everything I had ever hoped to find in someone else but turned out to be what every woman should be like, at least the ones I have met. We plan to marry as soon as she is here and start a family together as neither of us has children but we both want them.

So to anyone out there reading this, I can only say this: You may not find what you are looking for if you’re not honest with your partner and yourself. This site worked for me mostly because I was honest with something that I wanted in someone else. When I did find her, love can work even across the other side of the world, between language differences and cultural differences. I wish you all luck in finding your perfect match. I have finally found mine and wish to give all my thanks to those at Chinese love links to help make it happen.

Sincerely yours,

Arthur
