I am a foreigner living in China, my husband's family lives in Ningxia, so we go there very often. There is a lot of archeological sites to visit, very interesting and so pretty ! Wish you also can enjoy the Helanshan pretroglyph and the Xixia mausolee :)

I feel that you epitomize the American spirit of the general American population, which I greatly appreciate, from my friends here in the U.S. Of course there are good and bad people just like anywhere. Unfortunately the bad ones seem to be likely ended up becoming politicians, and they run the country. That is how I lost my faith in democracy. I think the only hope to prevent conflict and build up better relationship among countries is to have people like you who are open-minded, optimistic, generous, and full with good-wills toward other people, whether Americans or Chinese or whatever, so the world can live in harmony instead of human tragedies all over as we are having right now around the globe, and not to mention the potential climate disaster likely to come.

Nah, not when you get bitten by that bug she shown there. A bite from that will cause you terrible fever. However, it is probably the case that you want to go to a geographic area that is not similar to where are used to. People in the tropics, want cold climate, vice-versa.
Wow what a revelation about yourself and your future in a personal level! I do wish and hope you will find a loving and suitable partner and build a family in Rural China! From your story, seemingly you are living in Utopia ! I live in a village in England but we don't even have 5G and our internet speed is diabolical! Like you I bought things online and delivered to my house. If I am not at home the deliverer will leave it on my doorstep and risked being stolen, you see the difference from where you are? I look forward to seeing your exploit in North China. Oh lastly we hope your parents would come to pay you a visit anytime soon. Take care! x

Your channel is so interesting and unique because you bring content that is interesting and unique and not easily obtained through the internet. You bring us into rural life in China that 99.999% of the population would never experience except living it vacariously through your videos. Another important aspect of your videos is that you are so genuine and intelligent. These are important character traits that are rare in today's quick sound bite world we live in.

Although all these major achievements are great (amazingly fast and effective constructions of infrastructures, high-speed rail, airports, space station, lunar explorations, EVs, battery technology, AI leadership, aircraft carriers, money-less payment systems, etc., etc.), however the most aspect and characteristics of China is its peaceful nature in its global policies. The friendliness of its population toward visiting guests is another beauty of China. The tasty and affordable food also helps a lot.
You are a beautiful. confident and happy lady. May God Bless You Always.

Stunning view from your window. The serenity, abundant fresh air, absent traffic/horns and close connection to nature can be boring especially in the rural settlements but is much healthier than City life. Referring to fast food as nutritious is an oxymoron but I suppose salad takeout would qualify as nutritious. There should be local donor banks in the City or you can always resort to the stork option (no dna choice, unfortunately).😊

Really enjoy your Q&As. I returned to China last December after having lived in Europe for nine years. Watching your videos actually helps me understand my home country, and soothe a durable reverse cultural shock. I was even considering about going back to Europe, and picking up from what I had left off (though I'll return there constantly). Indeed, rural life offers a wonderful taste of nature. Unlike mountainous Zhejiang province, rural northern Anhui has a large landscape of plain fields. I feel happy to spot swallows, yellow dragonflies, magpies and oriental doves again in the countryside. It was not so many years ago, now air pollution becomes less here. Pesticides use is still a problem. I don't see a lot of frogs and toads as well as snakes as I used to see when I was a village teenager.

I really liked Yinchuan, the capital of Ninxia. I went there on an overnight train from Beijing. There are some beautiful old buildings, a great museum and terrific food. It’s qn interesting city to walk in, especially the old area and you can take trips to interesting historical sites. Zhongwei, is a lovely city with an extraordinary temple and a great night market. That’s a place I’d really like to revisit. I also loved the Dongbei area, another area I think you would love.

Katherine, to be honest, I have gotten a bit Nostalgic over the ever green mountains and rice fields from memories of my childhood years. I am making plans to go visit China within the next few years… will you show me around your village when I do come back to China? I am obsessed with the bamboos and the misty mountains in the back of your village. They remind me of the poem “The road not taken” by Robert Frost.
