Home is where the heart is. That could best summarize Richard Markland, an Australian who currently lives in Luoyang and is married to a Chinese lady.

Richard is an English teacher at Henan University of Science and Technology, and he "really enjoys" it.

He came to China "originally planned for just one year," but now, 9 years have passed by and he is still exploring and teaching in China. For him, this is not just a city, but also home. Love brought him here and unveiled another chapter of his life.

Meet Richard Markland, a university English teacher and Chinese son-in-law.
