I Traded City Luxury for Struggle in Rural China

In West Slovakia, born and raised,
It's the playground where I spent most of my days,
Chillin' out, maxin', relaxin', all cool,
Suddenly started to take Chinese classes at school.
When Jackie Chan movies that were so good,
Started to influence my adulthood,
All of a sudden, I got on the plane,
My ma got scared: "You're movin' away?!"
I replied: "Yea, China's been callin' my name."

They may live in the countryside village. But they seem to have a very happy and peaceful life. With fresh air everyday.

I think your pet dog is the biggest winner of your move to this Shaxi. You can tell he (the dog) just loves those moments in the forest.

Thanks for sharing your story. p.s. re: trash on the trails, locate the local leaders and mention it to them, I'm once they are notified of this or are further pressed with this issue, something will be done about it, e.g. an education campaign to stop littering there, etc. 🕊

In Chinese tradition people offer things from food to flowers to small household items to their ancestors on their graves. Lots of young people live in cities now, and they can only go back to visit the cemetery once a year (or even longer) to clean previous offerings and place new ones. I suspect some of the trash are things placed on graves that got scattered around by natural elements.

You are right, man. Life is not about pleasure. It’s about struggle. Most people don’t understand it…

If this man's life somehow represents the idea of "life is struggle" for you...hmmm....maybe you better look for people, who really struggle and would love a bit of pleasure in their lives, if only for a moment...🙂

I visited Shaxi last year, met the Canadian guy in his restaurant and the American one in his boutique store. Would have been fun to stumble in to you. Your video is great, I'm considering with my wife to also move to a smaller place in China such as Dali, so it's really great to see your experience!

Really admirable of your full assimilating into the Chinese cultures and value. From the first-tier city to a tiny village. It sure takes lots of adjustment of comfort and convenience. But the invaluable intangible experience is rich and rewarding. Wish you good health and keep your vlog going and reach more biased Westerners.

6:34 Oh nice a monk. Burgundy robes usually signifies Tibetan monks. There's a lot of Nyingma schools. And if one find any ones with prominent yellow crests they'd be of the Gelug schools. Have you tried to touch the creek/ spring water in Lijiang? It should be ice cold bc the water there is from the nearby snow capped mountains.
