Exclusive - Beautiful Russian Woman Marries Chinese Coal Miner Despite Having No Money, Car or House!

Nowadays, many women are more practical than hopelessly romantic. Especially in Chinese society, love, sometimes, is no longer a factor in choosing who to marry. Financial stability and comfort matters for some women so they end up going after wealthy men instead of pursuing love. With so many stories of gold-digging women, hearing stories of beautiful women who did not take advantage of their beauty to snatch a rich man is just beautiful.

And that is the very story of this 22-year-old Russian woman named Sophia who didn't look at the financial status of her partner.

Beautiful Russian Woman Marries Chinese Coal Miner Despite Having No Money, Car or House!

Five years ago, the Russian woman came to China. Sophia spent years in the border city of Heihe to study Chinese. Being in China, it did not take long before she started falling in love with its fascinating culture, as well as the people. Sophia did not only learn to speak Mandarin fluently, she also opted to live there rather than returning to Russia after her graduation and work in a Chinese company. Last year, Sophia met 28-year-old Chen because of a friend.

Despite being a simple coal miner who had no savings, no house or car, Sophia allowed the love between them to blossom after Chen mustered his courage to talk to her. Communicating through WeChat, their relationship deepened.

Sophia claims that what she felt was love at first sight and she ultimately knew that he was the one. She even visited Chen at the coal mine after asking to take a leave from work, that was only a week since they first started dating. Soon, Sophia left her job for their relationship. She stayed at the shabby coal mining housing for two months where Chen stayed, the place was equipped with outdoor baths and toilets.

"I believe that love is the most important thing. We just need to work hard, and I’m sure that we’ll soon be able to buy a home and car," Sophia said.

Chen too has quit his work at the coal mine. The couple plans to fly to Russia in April for a formal ceremony. They also shared that they plan on putting up a business in Russia in the future.
