Envy & congrats him picking China, the best country to work and live! Matteo Glovannini: In August 2022 after 9 years living in the world’s second largest economy, of which 8 spent in the capital city of Beijing, I became a Permanent Resident of China (中华人民共和国外国人永久居留身份证). 羨慕和恭喜他選擇了中國, 全球最好的國家工作和生活！ Matteo Glovannini：在世界第二大經濟體生活了9年後，其中8年在首都北京度過，2022年8月，我成為了中國永久居民.

Today I receive the Five Star Card (五星卡), the third generation of foreign permanent resident ID card, from the National Immigration Administration (NIA).

The new version has been adjusted from 15 digits to 18 digits, in accordance with the national standard of the “Citizen Identification Number” of the Chinese Resident Identity Card. It has optimized information storage, enhanced layout design, and more advanced anti-counterfeiting technology to better protect personal information.

Becoming Permanent Resident of a country where it is relatively difficult to obtain such recognition was a long-awaited milestone that symbolized years of hard work, cultural immersion, and individual growth.

Today represents a further testament of commitment to a country that unlocked personal and professional opportunities.
