chinese woman

she was 20 or so and worked as a secretary besides studying.
her prof was an acclaimed man, 4o something old, had business in Europe, Switzerland, and liked his secretary a lot.
I don't know whether the flattering, the prestige or maybe just his handsome outer appearance convinced her.
maybe, he just was for her the exit of this society in which she didn't see any realy chances for herself, the exit to a better life.
poor chinese girl.
she soon was to become a woman.
instead of letting her take German lessons right away when she arrived newly married in Switzerland, she had to work for him. At home, in the office.
It is very convenient to have an accounter as wife. She had to take care of his son of one of his previous marriages. Cook, clean, oh, - i'm sure you know all the woman-works.
She was introduced to me as his wife, I would work with her, or, maybe, i even could teach her german. What about that.
I wasn't an institutionalized German teacher, so wouldn't be able to harm him if she told me something.
Maybe thats what he thought.

She was a very willing and enthusiastic student. He paid me the minimum of what I required, when I wanted to raise the price (damn, I had to get money for my college!) she told me that she would have to work even harder in order to pay it. He let her work for everything. He blackmailed her in this way.

His son was a monster. Spoiled. She complained about him many times. In school he was very aggressive, he beat other kids. Teachers were worried.

Soon I became her only female friend in Basel. I was very much worried. She is a very bright, lovely, adorable woman who loves the beatles. Who loves nice clothes but nice clothes she only could buy if her husband wanted her to do so and her blackmailed her with that. If you want this and that you gotta work more. I don't know whether he blackmailed her by beating her, too. Maybe he did that only when they had arguments. Or just for fun. He was a chemistry doctor. He already published a lot of things. He was quite rich. He told me, when they invited me for dinner, when showing me the flat, 'this is XiaoTings room, sometimes she let me sleep her too"
poor chinese woman. Has to sleep with this creep.
He kicks her, beats her up. He is very choleric. He is mean.

Today in the morning she called me. She could hardly talk. She hadn't written to me in a while, didn't asnwer to my mail. She was in hospital. Some wound in the lower part of her belly. Officiallly she said she hit herself at a table. I almost started to cry. What happened, Xiao-Ting, what happened?
Why didn't she go to China, as I told her last year, and as she wanted to? Her parents would have been so disappointed if this marriage had been proved as bad for her. They would have been sad and they would have wanted her to come back. But in the same time she was the hope for them maybe. Maybe she thought she should stay until she got the Swiss citizenship so she could stay here alone. She didn't divorce yet.

Xiao Ting said, laughing, I am sorry, I always have bad news. I am sorry. I have always problems.
But the people from the Hospital would help her now to divorce quickly and go back to China within a month

Chinese woman don't get the job if a guy, with the same or worse qualifications wants it, too.
