Open heart
Hola, beautiful soul…
My name is Chen, originally from a small misty town near Hubei, China, where the tea fields turn silver in the morning light. Eight years ago I followed my heart (and a little bit of courage) across the world and made Spain my home. Today you’ll find me in Barcelona, wearing a white coat by day and barefoot on the beach by sunset.
I’m an ophthalmologist; I spend my days giving people the gift of clear sight. There’s something magical about the moment a patient sees their child’s face sharply for the first time after surgery… it never gets old. I think that’s why I believe so deeply in love: I’ve seen how much beauty there is in the world, and I want to share every shade of it with one special woman.
I’ve never been married and I don’t have children yet; my life has been dedicated to healing eyes and healing hearts (mostly my patients’, but I’m ready for mine now). I’m looking for my forever, not a season. Someone to build a family with, to travel slowly, to grow old laughing.
About my heart…
I’m the man who remembers how you like your coffee even before you wake up. Who will learn your favorite Spanish guitar song just to play it softly while you fall asleep on my chest. I still write handwritten letters (yes, on real paper) because some feelings are too big for a phone screen. I light candles not only on birthdays, but on ordinary Tuesdays, just to say “I saw the sunset today and wished you were here.
What I love
Sunrise runs along Barceloneta, then café con leche and fresh churros as reward
Cooking for the people I love: my mapo tofu is legendary, but I make a pretty dangerous paella now too
Weekend escapes to tiny white villages in Andalucía, getting lost on purpose
Slow dancing in the kitchen at midnight to old Chinese love songs mixed with flamenco
Bookstores on rainy days, art galleries on sunny ones, and holding hands in both
What I dream of
A home filled with laughter in three languages. Little feet running around speaking Spanglish with a touch of Mandarin. Sunday mornings where no one rushes, just tangled sheets, strong coffee, and kisses that taste like forever. Traveling the world, but always coming back to “us”. Growing old together, still flirting like teenagers, still choosing each other every single day.
If you…
You are kind, affectionate, and unafraid to love deeply. You believe in romance that feels like poetry. You laugh easily, kiss slowly, and aren’t scared of building a life with someone whose heart beats a little differently because it was born under Eastern stars but now lives under Mediterranean skies.
I’m not perfect, but I am faithful, patient, and hopelessly romantic. When I love, I love with everything: my time, my thoughts, my future.
If your heart whispered “maybe” while reading this… please say hello.
Let’s start with a sunset walk and a glass of Rioja, and see if the universe has been saving us for each other all this time.
With all my heart,
Chen
