Re: 62 year old uncle lives in Beijing for 22 years and wants to join "Xicheng Ma".
whether to stay in Beijing or unknown
even if it does not wear "red sleeve chapter", it is often encountered by Lao Gao. "In the Hutong to foreigners or tourists in the field, I am better than the Beijing people. They are used to saying direction. I will tell people to go to the front of the crossroad and turn right, so it is easier to understand." Old high smile said, in 2016, often help the street in the Hutong old Mencius sell yogurt, "foreigners sell yogurt, people will be more curious, to buy more tourists, later because I had left leg surgery, less."
by the end of February this year, because of the cancellation of the company's office in Beijing, Lao Gao had a problem. Either to Shanghai's office means to leave Beijing, or to stay in Beijing, but to wait for other jobs. In the end, senior high chose the latter.
"for me, Beijing is where I live and my home." Without working visa, Lao Gao chose a Chinese training school and got a student visa for 6 months. "I am a student of 62 years old." Lao Gao laughs that his writing in Chinese is not good. "Enrolling in Chinese can not only improve Chinese but also stay in Beijing."
for Lao Gao, divorced from his wife, the circle of life and interpersonal relationship have been biased towards Beijing. "There are many self-employed foreigners I know, and occasionally I listen to the blues in the bar of my friends. There are also many foreign friends like me who have lived in Beijing for more than 15 years.
said that because he did not have a Chinese wife and Chinese property, it was difficult to estimate the green card, and the student visa was due to expire in September 8th this year, and he will face the question of whether he will stay in Beijing. "Some companies have sent me a job invitation, but I don't know if I can sign the contract." Lao Gao sighed. "There is no retirement visa here. It's a pity for me. If we can stay in Beijing, let it be."
