Yes, those are the two most likely explanations and I probably am being
silly, but I still find it a bit hard to understand.

I have never heard there is any slavery in China.

That was just wild speculation on my part. I know China is pretty
modern, and not even an especially dangerous country for tourists. I'm
just trying to think of motivations for her being willing to pay for my
trip.

Has it ever occurred to you that she wanted a husband, and she has
picked you? Are you tall and handsome and well-educated?
Good-mannered? A good catch for any girl?

She can afford studying aboard that means her family must not lack of
money.

Quite possible. She travelled quite a bit before coming to Australia
to study, and now she has a job here.

And it is so surprising to hear that you are worry about all these
strange things!

Why? Nothing is free! We're talking about a lot of money here. I
think I'd be stupid not to dig into her possible motives.

Your email address implies you're from China, so you know a lot more
about the culture and maybe how Chinese girls think. Can you give me
some insights into why you're so sure this is genuine?
