Grew up in Beijing.
Choose to settle down after studying in Finland.
China woman Hu Hu is 50 years old and has lived in Finland for more than 20 years.
She grew up in Beijing. When I was a child, everything was arranged by my parents and I was carefree. Huhu 1990 failed in the college entrance examination and went to a private university. After that, I worked in Guangzhou for several years. He resigned and returned to Beijing because of internal contradictions in the company.
My parents have a friend in Finland and asked her if she wanted to study in Finland. Without much thought, she went to Finland in April 1996, five months before her 24th birthday.
At first, she lived in a friend's house. Once after dinner, she was washing dishes in the kitchen, and her friend came to say that she didn't need to wash them. "I thought she was just being polite and continued to wash. By the third time, she was a little anxious. Come and say no washing! Later, I remembered that Finns don't talk nonsense, and there is no superfluous content in a word. "
Hu Hu majored in international trade at a university in Finland, 1998. This university needs an internship. She went to a Finnish trading company. Because the company has business in China, she went back to work for two years and wrote a graduation thesis. At the age of 30, she officially got a college diploma.
During that time, Hu Hu was an ordinary office worker in Finland. She met her current husband on 1999, gave birth to a daughter at the age of 32, and returned to the workplace in 2007 after a period of maternity leave. She has worked in internet companies and sales companies. "Doing ordinary things in ordinary companies, nine to five."

After losing my job, I applied to be a flight attendant in Finland.
Enjoy every flight.
In 20 13, the company began to lay off employees because of operational difficulties, and Hu Hu lost his job. She wanted to find a new job and just saw Finnair looking for a flight attendant who could speak Chinese and English, so she submitted her resume.
In Europe, there is not much age requirement for recruiting flight attendants. It is generally required to be above 18, but there is no upper age limit, because it is illegal to set restrictions based on age. There is no strict requirement on the appearance of flight attendants, and they can be tall, short, fat or thin.
On the afternoon of being laid off, she went to an interview with Finnair and successfully passed the exam, followed by course training. The training lasts for six weeks, mainly learning first aid knowledge, danger handling, basic makeup and understanding aircraft performance. Although the course is Finnish, the textbook is English, so it is not difficult to learn.
However, an accident happened. In an emergency drill, Hu Hu accidentally broke his leg. The training director thought she couldn't finish the follow-up training and told her not to come. When Hu Hu heard this, it was like being poured cold water, because being a stewardess was her dream.
Husband encouraged her not to give up and accompanied her to the hospital for examination. The doctor said that he could walk normally in the future, so he went to the training supervisor and said his wish.
The supervisor was moved by Hu Hu and took the doctor to check her again to make sure there was nothing serious. After that, she resumed training and completed all the courses. At the age of 40, she hopes to be a China stewardess of Finnair. After joining the company for one year, she transferred to norwegian air shuttle Company.
Huhu had an accident during training.
Flight attendant is Hu Hu's favorite career in his life. During her work, she met many people and things that impressed her deeply and shaped herself completely. Every time she flies, as a flight attendant, she must prepare for the flight in advance and handle all kinds of things in the air, which tests her immediate response ability. Although the work is very tiring, every flight will meet different crew members and passengers, even different models, and Hu Hu enjoys it.
The aviation industry was hit and laid off employees.
Learn to enrich nursing skills
After the outbreak of COVID-19 epidemic, the aviation industry suffered a huge impact. In April 2020, Finnair was grounded, all flight attendants were laid off, and Hu Hu was unemployed again.
Huhu doesn't want to stay at home. While preparing for the training of the national bodybuilding championship, she thought about what to do next.
Finland has a great demand for nursing staff. In June 2020, Hu Hu signed up for a nursing course, which lasted for two years and required four internships.
At first, Hu Hu spoke English in Finland. When she went to work for an airline, she first took Finnish as a part of her daily life, because all her training was conducted in Finnish. Since then, her Finnish has become better and better. When studying nursing, because the nursing objects are basically Finns, the requirements for Finnish are higher. She studied Finnish hard, practiced and communicated repeatedly, and soon broke through this obstacle.
When facing patients every day, nurses should learn nursing techniques such as drug administration, hot meals, chatting, bathing, changing diapers and cleaning wounds. Huhu devoted all his energy to his studies, and his exam results were the best in his class, with full marks in several courses.
During the internship nursing, Hu Hu contacted Alzheimer's patients of all ages and Finns with drug and alcohol abuse backgrounds, and saw groups that were rarely seen in society before, and had a more comprehensive understanding of Finnish society. Among them, they are lucky to live at home and receive home care, but unfortunately, they live in the ultimate care center and wait for the last day.
Hu Hu is confident and elegant now.
This experience made Hu Hu thoroughly understand life. "I learned to cherish everything, always be grateful, and stay away from complaints and all negative energy!" I understand that health is the most important thing in a person's life, and everything else is fleeting! "
Start fitness at the age of 40
A high degree of self-discipline brings a good figure.
At the age of 40, Hu Hu's life changed greatly. She didn't care much about anything before, and she didn't have any plans to do things.
But by the age of 40, it seems that everything has begun to change. "I started to do things in a targeted manner." She started to exercise, first running, then going to the gym for training, and her physical condition soon changed. A flight attendant can usually rest for three or four days after flying for a few days. As soon as the flight was over, she went to the gym to exercise.
Fitness brings a lot of happiness to Tiger Tiger. She is becoming more and more self-disciplined and demanding. She also found a personal tutor to give special guidance, exercise according to the coach's requirements, and arrange meals. Her mental state is getting better and better, and her body has become very light. It is not easy to get tired after flying for a few days.
She is 176 cm tall and weighs 56 kg. In order to further challenge herself, she signed up for the 20 19 Finnish National Bodybuilding Championship, trained and controlled her diet according to the coach's requirements, and practiced catwalk.
During this period, Hu Hu also participated in the on-the-job postgraduate course of "Service Innovation and Design" for two years, and graduated from 20 13.
In June 2020, the bodybuilding championship officially began, and Hu Hu was the oldest player in the group. She didn't care much about winning or losing, but when the results came out, Hu Hu actually won the third place. "As the only China person standing on the Finnish bodybuilding stage, the excitement at that moment can't be described in words!"
Huhu won the championship in the Meijian Championship.
On the day she won the third place, she said, "Hard training and strict diet have given me a strong body and incomparable youthful vitality. Age has no effect on my physique and mood at all. I am full of energy and happiness every day, even if I encounter difficulties and troubles. I like my life and prefer myself at the age of 48. "
After the game, Hu Hu began to model, shoot advertisements and sometimes play guest roles in film and television dramas. After being a model and actor, Hu Hu feels more confident and beautiful, and her mentality is more stable.
On the day before her 50th birthday, a Swedish underwear brand invited her to shoot an advertisement with four other female models. She was the youngest and the oldest of them was 72. In filming, Hu Hu's strongest feeling is that "the strength and beauty of mature women can be reflected at any age."
Received an interview invitation from an airline.
Restore love at the age of 50
Hu Hu's favorite job is flight attendant. With the slow recovery of the aviation industry, norwegian air shuttle Aerospace Company sent an interview invitation to Finnish flight attendants who had been laid off before on 20211. Hu Hu was very excited when he received the email, but the interview failed. "After reading the email, I was completely confused. I can't accept this cruel reality! After a few days, people are groggy. "
Fortunately, at this time, many European airlines are making great preparations for flights next summer. After being rejected by norwegian air shuttle Company, Hu Hu began to actively prepare for interviews with other airlines in English and Finnish.
After more than a month's careful preparation, she applied for the flight attendant positions of Lufthansa's Eurowings and Finland's Nordic Regional Airlines, and the two companies immediately invited her to participate in the interview.
Lufthansa has very strict training. Hu Hu thought about quitting many times, but with her husband's encouragement, she persisted and completed the training as the oldest candidate, but many people in their twenties failed.
Finally, Hu Hu successfully got the flight attendants invitation from these two companies. Finally, it was her turn to decide which airline to choose. After careful consideration, she went to the European wing.
In June this year, Hu Hu turned to be a stewardess of Finnair Sweden.
Hu Hu said that flight attendant is his favorite occupation.
There are more and more flights from Helsinki to China and Hong Kong, and the Hong Kong route is understaffed, so we transferred some flight attendants from Stockholm to fly to Hong Kong. Hu Hu was supposed to fly to Hong Kong on the evening of the 5th, but the company's operation notice said that her task was temporarily cancelled due to internal reasons. This flight in Hong Kong was originally expected by Hu Hu for a long time. "After the outbreak, I have never been back to China. The last time I went to Hong Kong was in 20 19. I have family and friends there, so I am very happy after getting the flight mission. I immediately contacted my family over there and planned to meet on the 7 th. I bought all the presents. When the result was about to leave, the company informed me that the flight mission was cancelled, and I felt particularly lost at that time. "
It is very unexpected to get the attention of netizens.
Continue to do what you like in the future.
Hu Hu began to record her self-media life from 20 19, which gradually attracted the attention of netizens. In recent days, she has been on a hot search, and her inspirational experience has infected many people. "Many relatives and friends contacted me and said that they saw my news, so although I didn't arrive in Hong Kong, I had a new turn. My mood at that time was very complicated and I felt that fate was really interesting. "
Hu Hu said that her positive attitude towards life may be related to the influence of China traditional culture, but it is more from her family. Her mother is 76 years old and still working. She likes what she does.
After returning to the blue sky at the age of 50, Hu Hu intends to retire until the day when she cannot fly. At the same time, she will complete her nursing major. Nursing needs four internships, and she has completed three, and will continue to do it if there are suitable models and actors working part-time.
Hu Hu is advertising in Finland.
Hu Hu said that she never cared about all kinds of anxiety. "After doing so many things, I found that people's abilities are actually infinite and they can do many interesting things. Doing what I like, whether it's nursing, fitness, film and television advertising, including my job as a flight attendant, I really can't describe my feelings. I enjoy everything without any complaints. In the end, I lived more and more truly and my happiness improved. If you want to change your life, you can only fight for it by your own efforts. Only by your own efforts can you be the proudest! "
