Ethic Malay Zairy Amir, 38, comes from the state of Selangor in West Malaysia. He runs a delivery store in Guangzhou, in southern China’s Guangdong province.
He recently shared a video about romance between him and his wife Wang Sufiah, 40, a native of Yunnan province in southwestern China, according to a report by the Malaysia-based Oriental Daily News.
Their relationship, the exact starting date of which is not known, began when Amir was sending items to a launderette, and he asked Wang for directions.
Wang was happy to learn that Amir was also a Muslim because she and her mother are the only people of that faith in her family.
“I was quite lonely while living in a foreign country. I did not have any friends. So I was delighted to hear she said she wanted to be my friend and she is also a Muslim,” Amir was quoted as saying.
