Bridging Hearts: Our Journey to Reconnect

Dearest friends, family, and kind-hearted souls,

We have a dream, a dream that has been etched into the very fabric of our hearts. We are a testament to love transcending borders – a Chinese woman, me, married to the love of my life, a French man. Together, we've built a beautiful family here in France, but there's a piece of our hearts that resides far across the world, in the land of my birth – China.

Our nine-year-old daughter Yûyou, embodies the spirit of love that brought us together. She dreams of a place where our roots intertwine, a place where Yûyou can finally embrace her Chinese heritage. It's been far too many years since our family last held hands with our loved ones on the other side of the world, and it's time to heal the divide that miles and oceans have woven.

This journey isn't just about reuniting with family; it's a symphony of education, cultural immersion, and a deep-seated passion. Yûyou is enamored by the enchanting tapestry of Chinese culture – from its ancient history to the lyrical cadence of its language. This voyage will be a transformative education for her, a chance to embrace the language and traditions that form an integral part of her identity.

Our plan is to journey across the vibrant landscapes and diverse cities of China, from the imperial grandeur of Beijing to the picturesque beauty of Guilin, from the historical treasures of Xi'an to the dazzling lights of Shanghai. This journey is more than just geography; it's an exploration of the threads that connect us to the past, the present, and the future.

But we cannot embark on this journey alone. We need your love and support to turn this dream into a reality. Your contribution will not only bring us back to our roots but will empower Yûyou to embrace her heritage, becoming a bridge between two worlds. Your generosity will become the foundation for her education, her identity, and our family's unbreakable bond.

We chose this destination because it's where our love story began, where our family's history was woven, and where our hearts forever remain. This journey is profoundly meaningful, for it's about love, learning, and the rediscovery of who we truly are.

We humbly ask for your support in weaving the threads of our hearts and lives back together. Your kindness will help us craft memories that will echo through generations, reinforcing the bonds that distance has tried to weaken.

Thank you for being a part of our journey, for helping us bridge hearts and for joining us on this voyage to rediscover our roots.

With boundless gratitude and love,

Shunji
