MIXED
Wei, China, and Jacopo. Italy.
They met during a master's degree in Warsaw, after a few years of long-distance relationship they have lived together in Italy since 2019. At the beginning Jacopo was very worried about cultural differences and the way in which they also profoundly shape a person's thoughts. There are some aspects of Wei's way of being, respecting others, not entering into conflict, which he himself risked misinterpreting as a lack of reciprocity, as a sign of stereotyping male/female roles. East and West have a profoundly different approach to the meaning of existence, Jacopo told us. Over time, it is precisely these differences that fascinated him and enriched their couple. They both believe that listening to each other is very important. They communicate with each other in English.
