Miriam In China I love watching your channel to unwind. You give the impression of a very calm and peaceful life although I know it cannot truly be like that without modern conveniences; I especially thought so after watching you make pizza, when us in the west eat it as a ‘fast food’ yet yours appeared to take hours to make. Did your family enjoy it? Especially with the new flavour of cheese. Your mother in law has a lovely friendly face, it’s nice to see you have been accepted by them, and your husband is so handsome! I know you don’t reply very often but I think your family are super. I’d love to know if you see your forever home in China?

She is really good at folding the dumpling. I am impressed and jealous! I tried so many times with no success. I remember my Mother and Grandmother, when I was a kid in China, making dumplings and dongs (rice with fillings wrapped in bamboo leaves) for festive occasions. I feel proud that Miriam, who did not grow up in this culture took it so seriously and become good at it.

Miriam和她老公的视频里，我看到了人类文明最本质和美好的一些东西，比如对丰收的喜悦，对劳动的尊重，对大自然的感恩。在这里看不到城市生活的普遍焦虑，看不到人性中过分的欲望，也看不到阶级的傲慢。我甚至觉得这一对夫妇是千年之后的地球人，从人类文明大融合的时代，穿越回到我们当下的这个时代，给这些21世纪的老古董们一瞥未来人类精神世界的端倪。

It is amazing how much work it takes to grind wheat to flour. We are spoiled in North America and just go to the supermarket and pick up a bag of flour. The homemade steamed buns (boazi) looks delicious.

Yes, that's one of the most important things I've learned here - the hard hard work that goes in to food! I grew up buying the majority of our food from the supermarket, and not until I moved here did I learn to really appreciate the food I eat. It's a different level of appreciation!

We are a country that is a mixture of different ethnicities but Chinese food here is pretty popular. Most of the Chinese influence here comes from southern China, notably Xiamen (formerly Amoy). So I guess the Chinese cuisine here may be more Cantonese than other parts of China. Love your channel!

Miriam， 你好！我很喜欢你的视频，也很喜欢你的家人，最最喜欢的是你！ 我惊叹你作为一个来自北欧的姑娘竟然能够融入中国西北农村的生活，而且乐在其中！这种融合是这么自然和深入，我丝毫不怀疑你是发自内心地欣赏并享受目前的生活的！你总是兴致勃勃地跟着丈夫和家人种菜，磨面粉，做披萨，榨菜籽油，看做豆腐，包包子等等，我不禁要问，你是怎么做到的？ 因为爱情而嫁给丈夫很正常，但要开启一种完全陌生的生活方式却很不一样，是很需要勇气的！比如我自己，我是中国南方人，我丈夫也是个西北汉子，我们现在在南方的一个城市里生活，我完全不能想象回到我丈夫的家乡西北农村去生活是一种什么状况！ 你却做到了，而且这么幸福！我想这一定需要你拥有包容的胸怀和开放的姿态，这让你能够不带偏见地接纳，感悟并欣赏一种全新的生活方式以及这种生活所蕴含的独特思维！我想你一定是被爱包围长大的孩子，如此才能拥有足够的安全感和善意面对陌生和未知！我想你肯定还拥有充沛细腻的情感，以及孩子般的好奇心和探索欲，这些品质都在你的视频中有所体现。 最后，你还是个幸运的姑娘，因为你的好得到了同等的回应：温柔可靠又爱你的宝藏丈夫，温暖纯朴又爱你的宝藏婆婆，可爱如天使一般的乖儿子，还有其他的一样充满善意家人！ 舒心的笑容，简单的对话，柔和的配乐，这一切构成的画面让人看得不由会心一笑，谈谈的幸福感就在心底蔓延开来了。所以我很享受你的视频！它甚至让我意识到，幸福真的有多种呈现方式，幸福不是只有朝九晚五，赚大钱这种方式才能获取，活给别人看是又累又笨的选择！由心出发才能真正走进幸福！
