User @ 嗮𵭞嗮𵭞𵭞𵭞219999 Chen Junheng, a 36-year-old native of Taibai County, Baoji City, Shaanxi Province, has worked and lived in Qatar for 13 years.

In p>27, Chen Junheng went to school in Tianjin and studied hotel management. At that time, it was "going abroad". Chen Junheng and several classmates "wanted to see the world", so they went to Dubai for an internship. After graduation, in 29, Chen Junheng passed an interview in a hotel in Qatar and began to work and live in Qatar.

"I started as a part-time worker, and after two or three years, I want to start a business. Through research, I found that many enterprises have printing needs, so I set up a trading company in Qatar, backed by the China market, mainly engaged in quick printing of pictures and texts and wholesale of stationery. " On November 26th, Chen Junheng said, "Six or seven years later, when I was cooking, I found that it was not easy to buy China's seasoning in Qatar, so I came up with the idea of opening a China supermarket and quickly took action. I bought goods from China and opened the only China supermarket in Qatar to sell China's daily necessities."

Chen Junheng opened the only China supermarket in Qatar.

The company name and supermarket name are all called "Yellow River". "This is the name given by my daughter-in-law, which I think is particularly good. It embodies the characteristics of China, at least the northwest, because we miss our motherland in a foreign country and we can't forget our roots." On November 26, Chen Junheng said.

business expansion and starting a business with your family

It is not easy to start a business in a foreign country. At first, the biggest difficulty was the language. "I just recite words in my spare time and keep communicating with local people. Slowly, communication becomes barrier-free." Chen Junheng said, "My daughter-in-law is from Xianyang, Shaanxi Province. She graduated with an English major and has a TEM-8 level. She has made great contributions in the process of starting our business."

There are so many unforgettable things in the process of starting a business that Chen Junheng doesn't know which one to say at the moment. "Now, besides quick print of pictures and texts and wholesale of stationery, this supermarket and international logistics are very busy, and they have to deal with many things every day. Employees, factories, suppliers and other affairs need to be dealt with one by one." Chen Junheng said.

With the growth of the company's business, Chen Junheng is in urgent need of effective help, so he took his sister's family and other relatives to Qatar to start a business together. "My sister is in charge of supermarkets and international logistics, and now we have more than 1 family members in Qatar." Chen Junheng said.

Chen Junheng's family are all in Qatar

While starting a business in Qatar, Chen Junheng has also gained a happy family of four, with a son and a daughter. "The eldest is in primary school, the second is in kindergarten, attending an international school in Qatar, and also taking Chinese courses." Chen Junheng said, "My parents also live in Qatar and help us with our children. I used to bring my children back to China every winter and summer vacation, but I didn't go back in recent years because of the epidemic. "

Because the World Cup supermarket also has a nickname

As a fan, this World Cup made Chen Junheng very excited, and he could watch the game at close range. "I went to the scene to watch a ball game, and I felt really different. I could feel the atmosphere of the football game, which was crazy." Chen Junheng said that another thing that makes him happy is that recently, he met many China people who came to Qatar for the World Cup, which can alleviate their family's homesickness. "Because of the World Cup, the China media who came to Qatar reported the supermarket, and online celebrity bloggers came to shoot videos. The popularity of the supermarket has also improved because of the World Cup."

Will the Yellow River Supermarket opened by Chen Junheng continue to work and live in Qatar in the future? On November 26th, Chen Junheng said, "My parents are old, but they still want to go home. Anyway, we have to wait until the Asian Cup next year. We still want to watch the Asian Cup. We haven't discussed this with our parents yet. Let's talk about it later. In fact, we often miss our hometown. However, Chinese in Qatar, like our compatriots at home, are struggling for a better life, so we are very busy and have no time to think about many things when we are busy. But I have a proposition, that is, no matter where you are, the family should be together, China people pay attention to reunion, and the family will be happy. "

Watching Hometown Courtyard through Video

During the epidemic, Chen Junheng and his family in Qatar were homesick and donated masks and other anti-epidemic materials. "Instant noodles were distributed to the anti-epidemic personnel on duty in the village and everyone in the village." Chen Junheng said, "This is also a tradition that my parents have been carrying on. You can't forget your roots, you should give back to the society and give back to your hometown folks."

Chen Qiuyan, Chen Junheng's sister, currently lives in Baoji. On November 26th, her sister Chen Qiuyan said, "In fact, it's not easy for my younger brother to go abroad and work hard for so many years. Because of the epidemic, my parents haven't returned to China for four years. My father told me that every time I go back to my hometown, I have to send them videos. Everyone should look at the yard of my hometown to comfort my homesickness. "

Chen Junheng took his family to start a business in Qatar

Sister Chen Qiuyan said that his parents were both farmers. When his younger brother started his business, his parents couldn't help him. The first time he flew abroad, he started from scratch and built it up bit by bit. "My brother hasn't come back for several years, and I miss them very much. I hope I can reunite with them in the Asian Cup next year."

On November 26th, Ms. Jiang, a neighbor downstairs in Chen Qiuyan, said, "I knew them every year before the epidemic. They are very hard-working and inspirational, and they have developed well in Qatar. "
