After commenting on your Van Life video, I thought that your hometown really sounds perfect for the life you desire. It's close enough to base out of and explore the endless sites in China; near all the joys of Chongqing; it has a lovely location in the mountains; very friendly people; cute pigs; you already have roots here; you already feel at home here; etc. The only thing I am not aware of, is the climate, but any place where one can grow oranges, and peaches in the mountains can't be all bad. For me, the humidity might be a problem, but I don't know what it is. I feel comfortable with a humidity around 25%, which is why I live in a high desert! I hope that this could be where you settle down. But, obviously, there are a lot of desirable locations in China.

You are a complex, beautiful, woman, whom I do not pretend to understand completely. It does seem that you have the normal, human desire to be rooted in a home somewhere, but still be free to do as you desire. Also, this home should be close to nature and the 4 seasons. I share these desires and I think most people do too. You also are very talented at what you are doing now. It would be a shame, that if you were so rooted you couldn't continue with the work of your channel! Everyone needs some active interest or avocation. So, ideally( please forgive my presumptionness) you should find a place to sink roots and still be in a location where you can easily make trips to do your work. I had a similar desire and picked a location where I could sink roots but still was in an area where there were lots of places to explore and travel to. I found this place in Idaho, but as I grew older, I lost my desire to travel. So, now I am a homebody. Good luck to you, and I hope I can be around to help you in your search.

Nice shot of you driving off into the sunset.

As are the shots of you running!

Again, I am not sure I understand your image of the truck passing by, stripping away all unrealistic thoughts. I can certainly understand that if I were walking down a country road, soaking in nature, a large truck passing by would probably bring me back to reality....I realize that my trying to understand your complex emotions this way, is pretentious and little ridiculous, if you were here by my side(just dreaming), It would be a lot easier.

I am not sure that I understand what you are saying here. What I think you are saying, is that you don't want to float over the world, like a bird, although you want the absolute freedom to do so, but again, you want to be grounded in order to touch, feel, and absorb your surroundings.

I agree, there is a need for most people to be"rooted somewhere" and to enjoy the changing of the seasons. I was "unrooted" most of my life and now that I have sunk roots for the last 30 years, I have little desire to move around. Observing the changing of the seasons, from my garden, is one of the greatest pleasures of my life.

Being close to nature does ground a person. As you say, the world is obsessed with rushing along, hardly taking time to enjoy the beauties and wonderful things around it. City life, these days, is so artificial and dehumanizing, that a return to nature, even if temporary, is necessary for one's sanity. I live in a small, quiet town in Idaho, with a large park across the street, not many hassles, but still I spend hours in my secluded garden just quietly absorbing nature.

It seems that you have found a place in your hometown. But you have just started your search and who knows what will turn up. It took me 10 years to find a place that suited me and sometimes the search is the best part.

I really like you and your voice is outstanding... love you from India,Kukiland.... and I wll be your follower....

I am going to rewatch this slowly and comment when I can. I love the shots of you running and celebrating your freedom, along with Azuki.

Preservation of old Chinese tradition is good

Beautiful city

Beautiful palace

Good exploration by you in China

Good morning

What a great mansion

China has a long history of civilisation

What a historical history of China.

What does the terracotta warriors

Watching from Philippines..your video are amazing.

Another morning, another view, another comment, it's always you.

I would bet that this grandma is a VIP in the village. She has great dignity and confidence.

Favorite grandma ( excluding Honglin's grandma)

Another Chinese vlogger that I have discovered. Would be watching all your videos ❤love lots from Bahrain ❤

Forgive me for calling Azuki a guy in some videos. I know she is a she, but just forget at times.

Third favorite grandma.

Views of waterfalls and valley are beautiful

Love the philosophy and music near the end. Thanks for your strenuous and artistic efforts in bringing this very interesting story to us.

I would have loved being a kid growing up around here and playing in the fort and the caves.

The caves and the fort are spectacular. I am amazed that they are not a big tourist attraction. I guess that there are so many spectacular sites in the Chongqing area, no one gets excited about this site. I think the fort and caves story would make a great movie.

My second favorite grandma from your videos.

This neat grandpa is so happy to have someone show an interest in the caves, especially a lovely young lady.

Kudos to you! That is tough going.

Do you think some locals just didn't want anyone to know about the caves and forts? Maybe just didn't want any tourists hanging around.

Wow 145k views congrats , finally. I hope this continues 😂

I am running low on comments right now, except even though I have watched all your videos many times, I always enjoy watching them again. You are a good story teller, who wears well with time. Tomorrow, I plan to go to your video where you talk about your plans and RV life. Hopefully, I will have more to say. Later on tonight, I hope to rewatch and comment on one my favorite videos of yours.

Always love your smile!

Another day, another view, another comment, it's always you.

Love that garden!

Another morning, another view, another comment, it's always you.

I love this opening song!

"When I am awakened, you will appear in my dreams" What a nice thought!

Huan sang was such a mystical character in our history books too..I was so fascinated by his travel story of his travel from China to India ..since than I have fallen in love with travelogues.❤

Another morning, another view, another comment, it's always you!

Chongqing has something for everyone. If you can't find something to like here, then something is wrong with you!

The infrastructure of this city is amazing!

Azuki always seems very interested in what's going on around him. Very thoughtful of you to carry him around.

Thanks for the shots of the older buildings with their beautiful architecture. I hope they won't be torn down to build the much less attractive skyscrapers.
