Junling, China

Chinese teacher
Italian partner
Mother of a 7-year-old boy and a 5-year-old girl

“My life was completely different when I was in China. I worked as a Chinese teacher at a military academy. It was a very enjoyable life - I had dinners out, met up with friends and travelled. I have changed since moving to Geneva. I've become family, not career oriented. My husband works a lot and if I did the same, we wouldn't have any quality of life. Now, that the children are older, I am enjoying my free time - practicing the piano, learning French. I know that I am doing good for my family - my children are looked after, my husband has favorable conditions for his career and I am not wasting my time either, I keep my options open for the future.”
