Good Boy looking for Chinese wife

My successful and attractive sister Alice is nearing 30 and single (uh-oh...). Here's a recent exchange between my mother and her two middle-aged Chinese friends about a romantic prospect for lucky Alice.

Joanna,

Thanks for thinking of Alice. You know I am a very open person. Everything depends on Alice. Just like Ilene said, Alice likes tall guy and likes to make new friends. Let us see…

Happy Chinese New Year!

Shau-Mei

Hi Joanna,

Just curious. Is he in LA? how tall is he? You know Alice is very tall - 5' 8". I know she will not date anyone shorter than her. But I will ask Alice. She may make a new friend.

Dear Ilene

How are you? Did you receive my mail? Enclosed is a picture of my friend Alice's son Jonah Kwuok. My friend wants to find a chinese wife for him and he works in Government now and is a good boy. I think his age is almost like Alice's age, see if they have any chance dating each other. I believe Siu Mei and Mr. Yeung will like him as he is a Christian and his father is a retired pastor. I wll send this picture to let them have a look too! Anyway, if you have chance to see Alcie, pls ask her see if she will like to meet him as friend first, ok? Thanks!

Joanna

Please show it to 'Alice" Alison Kwuok

The set-up email came with this fantastic photo of Mr. Dreamboat with Alice's potential future mother-in-law. Are those stars in his eyes or glare from his anti-reflective glasses? I dunno why Alice passed this one up. Lasik and an eyebrow wax could go a long way.
