One day a young man called Jim was told to take the  1  examination the next day．He was   2   so much that he couldn’t get to sleep．He wouldn’t join the army because he was in love with a beautiful girl．“If only I could find a  3   to make the doctor believe there is something    4  with my body,” he thought and thought．Suddenly, a good idea crossed his mind.

The next morning Jim got to the   5   on time and was led into a large room．He hurriedly found a seat to sit down and took out an out-of-date newspaper,   6   to read it．Soon it was his turn to be examined．When he came up to the doctor, the old man took a quick and sharp look at him．Then in a  7   he ordered Jim to take off his clothes, go straight to a corner and sit down on a chair there．No sooner had he seated himself on the chair than he heard the doctor murmuring to his assistant: “Finished! The boy is  8   up to the standard.”

“How can you draw such a  9   like that before you give me a 10  check? Jim shouted at the doctor．

“Don’t be impetuous（冲动）, young man! Put on your clothes, and then I’ll  11   it to you,” the doctor said   12  .“You said we didn’t examine you carefully, but I don’t think it

  13   for us to do that．When I told you in a low voice to take off your clothes, you did it as I told you．It shows you have good  14  ．When you were asked to go and sit on the chair, you did so, too．It shows you can see any subject within a certain distance． 15  , you were found reading the newspaper just now, and we are certain you are a man of intelligence.

  16 , you’re perfect in mind and body.” 

Half a year later, Jim was killed on the battlefield．At the news his girlfriend nearly went

 17  ．She kept weeping．“Don’t be like that, my dear.” It was an old man’s  18   voice．“Your Jim died a real man．He   19  his life to the people all over the world．It is right that we should be proud of him…” Saying this, the old man, her father, was choked（哽咽）．His only   20   was that he had never had Jim know who he was．This old man was the medical officer who had given Jim the health check．

To all of you at Chinese love links, I am 44 years old and never married. I have always wanted to find that perfect someone that I dream about. For about the last five years I have almost given up the hope of ever finding the one I truly wish to spend the rest of my life with.

I have always tried to be a nice guy. I had found your website some four or five months before. I did not know what to expect. I don’t know how to speak Chinese and never thought truly of how I was to an Asian woman.

Well, I had a lot of replies from some very nice and pretty women. I had a hard time finding only a couple to write to. But one stood out from the rest. She was cute, nice and seemed to hold a lot of the same values as I do. In a short time I had decided to write only to her. We communicated via e mails 2 3 times a day and phone calls once or twice a week.

I went and met her and her family only a week ago. Her name is Ying and she lives in Nanning. I found Nanning to be one of the most beautiful cities I had ever been to. We had even decided to marry and to bring her to the USA under the fiancée visa. Not only did she meet everything I had ever hoped to find in someone else but turned out to be what every woman should be like, at least the ones I have met. We plan to marry as soon as she is here and start a family together as neither of us has children but we both want them.

So to anyone out there reading this, I can only say this: You may not find what you are looking for if you’re not honest with your partner and yourself. This site worked for me mostly because I was honest with something that I wanted in someone else. When I did find her, love can work even across the other side of the world, between language differences and cultural differences. I wish you all luck in finding your perfect match. I have finally found mine and wishto give all my thanks to those at Chinese love links to help make it happen.

Sincerely yours,

Arthur
