The report from the “Yangcheng Evening News” 24 years ago recorded the couple’s thoughts at the time.

The Luo couple’s choices and persistence eventually paid off. Of the five children, two attended Xiamen University and three studied at Sun Yat-sen University.

24年過往，五個洋娃娃真的成了“中國通”

2001年年末，《羊城晚報》頭版登了一篇題為《五個天母室內設計洋娃娃齊齊返年夜陸讀書》的報道。配圖中，一位金發碧眼的american媽媽牽著“洋娃娃”們，走進東莞一所當地小學。20多年過往，這家人又“知名”了——小女兒阿菊（中文名羅雅莉，網名“阿菊Addy”）作為自媒體博主，在視頻《24年前，洋人登上羊城晚報》中講述了一家人在中國的故事，這條視頻播放量達400多身心診所設計萬，收獲逾10萬點贊、上萬條留言。

當初，阿菊的父親羅德基在噴鼻港干著安穩的財務任務，常因任務往上海出差，親眼看著滿街的自行車在幾年間換成了絡繹不絕的汽車。“我覺得中國內地正走上坡路。在內地，機會更多。”于是他帶著老婆美沙和五個4到10歲的孩子，遷往廣東東莞。

《羊城晚報》24年前的報道，記錄了老羅夫婦當時的設法：“我們最年夜的愿看就是讓五個孩子說一口流暢的通俗話和粵語，寫一手美麗的中國字，最終成為‘中國通’。我們的孩子將是中東方教導的完善結合。”

“我爸媽做的決定，就像把五個小孩直接扔進了中國的‘陸地’里。他們只在岸邊看著，最多扔個救生圈下來，我們得本身撲騰著學會泅水。”阿菊感歎，怙恃在孩子成長的歲月里，要放下本身的所有的經驗，往信任一個生疏的系統，絕非易事。

老羅夫婦當年的選擇與堅持有了回報：五個孩子，兩個上了廈門年夜學，三個讀了中山年夜學。現在，除老邁羅云妮在新加坡任務外，其他四個孩子都留在中國發展。老二羅曼莉在深圳的一家幼兒園做英文教師。老四羅杰信在東莞開了一家酒吧。老三羅惠莉和最小的阿菊都做起了自媒體博主。除此之外，五個孩子也是父親生意上最好的“翻譯”和參謀。美沙卸下了家庭重擔，和幾位中國牌友成了“麻將搭子”。

本年9月，阿菊和姐姐羅惠莉回了趟american，拍了一條《勇闖紐約》短片。視頻下方的評論區熱鬧不凡健康住宅：“兩個老廣勇闖紐約！”“你們表里紛歧，表面american人，內里純中國人！”諸這般類的調侃觸目皆是。這些打趣，正是對阿菊成分認同最溫柔的認證：“我爸德國人，我媽american人，但我在中國長年夜。這里就是我的根。”

當年那個“變態”的選擇，在明天看來像一則精準的預言。羅家見證了中國成為世界第二年夜經濟體，也見證了廣東全省GDP從1萬億元到14萬設計家豪宅億元的躍升。他們用親身經歷證明，最勝利的“中國通”，能在東東方文明的交匯處，找到屬于本身的地位，讓性命長出獨特的形狀。
