Fengjie’ Personal Ad for Seeking a Husband (revised by Yvonne LIANG)

（凤姐在美国的征婚广告 – 梁潇方 修改）

My name is Luo Yufeng(罗玉凤). Born in 1985, I am now 25 years old.  I am looking for my soulmate, who will hopefully become my husband and grow old together with me. My efforts to look for a husband made me the most-sought-after star in China. I have become a household name in China because of my audacious efforts to seek the man of my dreams.

My quest for true love knows no boundaries，which is why I crossed mountains and oceans to get to the United States, a land of opportunities and dreams.

I am now in America, continuing my pursuits of the love of my life, a loving husband and a deserving man…

My ideal husband takes a keen interest in politics and economics, and regards the world as his stage.

I want my husband to have the following qualities:

1.    Preferably aged 25-31

2.    Preferably 5.74 -6.11 feet in height

3.    Never been married, with no children. I don’t believe in divorce. I am seeking a man who still believes in traditional family values and growing old together, “for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness or in health, to love and to cherish ’till death do us part.”

4.    Well-educated. Preferably with an education from prestigious universities such as Harvard,Yale, MIT, West Point, Stanford, Oxford and so on. I believe men who have studied in these world-renowned universities are “the  crème de la crème”, men who have a tremendous amount of intelligence, self-discipline, self-confidence and a strong sense of responsibility. These are qualities I admire in a man.

5.    Preferably with a master’s degree

6.    Preferably Caucasian.  Not that I have anything against Asian men. It’s just that opposites attract. Same reason why some western men find Asian women exotic and attractive.

7.    Preferably owns a home and a car. My future husband and I will build our home into the loveliest place for our kids, who will grow up in a loving and stable environment.
I was born into a poor family in Chongqing, China. At 16, I enrolled in an inexpensive teacher’s college, which I never came to like.  At the tender age of 9, I became an avid reader, and I became extremely adept at poetry and prose because of my abiding love for books.  I turned 21 in 2006 and got a job as a language teacher.  I turned 23 in 2008, when I quit my job to move to Shanghai, in pursuit of a better future. Despite my ambition, it was hard for me to get a good job in a mega-metropolis such as Shanghai. There was no other way to bring in more income except to brand myself into a public figure, dazzling the world with my courageous pursuits of the perfect husband.

I became the most-sought-after star in China in 2010, when I turned 25. In the same year, I moved to the USA.  More than 300,000 Chinese men proposed to me, but none of them was THE ONE.

I am only 4.82 feet tall.  I used to wear heels, which made me look like 5.08 feet tall.  I hope that you can see past my small stature, and see the brave girl inside me.  I am the Thumbelina you have been waiting for. Good things come in small packages. Napoleon and Deng Xiaoping (a great man who orchestrated China’s economic reforms) are the perfect examples.

I want to have two children. One is too lonely; two is company. I want my children to learn to share and care for others.
