Assignment Asia: A modern-day hermit in China
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 фев 2025
- Urbanization may be sweeping large parts of China, but some people still prefer to live in seclusion in far-flung areas, away from the hustle and bustle of city life. One of them is a young woman who left the city to live in a small hut on a mountain, choosing to lead a quiet and traditional life. Assignment Asia visited Zhongnan Mountain in Xi'an, which a photographer named Xiangzi now calls home.

She is such a sweet and gentle soul. I too feel most at home when I am in nature. I am glad that she is able to live her dream.
You can to. have courage.
What a beautiful life she lives. Free and leisurely
she's so beautiful too
I AM AN ARAB BUT I LIKE JAPANESE, ESPECIALLY AND OTHER ASIAN CULTURES 🇯🇵 🇯🇵🇨🇳🇮🇩🇮🇩🇹🇭🇲🇾
A shining and gentle soul. She is so happy!
I can't get enough watching her
I would love to live in a beautiful peaceful place in the mountains. Just see how relax she is and happy I would leave everything and go to mountain
"I will not give up freedom for the sake of money." Wow, that is beautiful.
this girl is amazing....
I loved the video! So inspiring. What a great reflection. ✨👩🏿🌾🤸🏾♀️👩🏿🍳🐛🦋✨
You r really a brave girl , im so impressed. I also want to live near mountains but no courage.
Photography is bliss...and i love her story
Loved hearing about her life.
Love u hermit chinese girl.
அடிக்கடி நான் ரசித்துப் பார்க்கும் காணொளி... அமைதியான, அழகான வாழ்க்கை...
Fairies do exist.
Clearly she has no student loan or credit card debt hanging over her head. I too would like to live a solitary life in nature and just get by with working occasionally as needed. She is really living the dream.
You have no courage. You did not listen to here when she said she left the studio job? she traveled and took pictures she wanted to cross asia and im sure she made money. Stop making excuses .
The choice is always yours... How to accomplish it though may impact your future. Many people just "disappear" ;P
E.M. Vélez why did you even go to college then?
Can you bankrupt?
This woman is my hero. I want to do this in my own country.
Love to visit
So beautiful, on every level.
Seems like the tranquility of her surroundings has rubbed off on her personality. I really envy her life.
✨one family under heaven. be here now. do no harm. help others. be still close eyes listen to your breathing. rest in present awareness.✨
Women like this don’t exist incredibly kind soul she is wow
Yasss guuurrrrrlllll!
This girl is amazing!
A life to envy. I wish i could get out of my concrete jungle soon, and embrace life in nature
I would like to live as a hermit anytime!
Would very much like to live with the others in the Chinese mountains.
When you leave invite me as well
Great video! Thank you!
Amazing. Thank you
Wonderful life!
I wish I could live like this
smart girl.listen to her and imitate however you can in your own life. solitude simplicity and silence can be found wherever you want to find them. you don't have to go to the mountains. TAO TE CHING 47.☘️
Wonderful !!
In 2 months ahead i am going to live hermit. I have done with living in the city, paying my rent and another bills every month. I hate modern society, they always pursue anything without end as if they will live forever. I don't wanna live as wage slave of the rest of my life. I have no problem living in the nature because i love hiking and explore new places. Now i am 34 yo and don't have plan neither to marry a woman nor having a child. Life in the city still really sucks.
GO FOR IT. DO NOT WAIT.
Peaceful solitary life.....
what a beautiful life, 我来自终南山 却去了美国 就想回去
I was a hermit once in Texas I loved it 😍 from age 18 till 30. Then someone took me away. My sons dad 🤣
😂😂 that good now where you live
That's too bad. I'm sorry for you.
Amazing! I wonder what winters are like there (are there winters?).
She and i are very much alike.We're free spirits......
good vibes - the rest is up to you
does she have a RUclips channel?
To all the people out there who wish you could live this type of lifestyle.
Well. If you have no responsibility you can.
No responsibility and courage is the key.
You don’t even have to go to extremes like some people. Just live within your means for a start.
Look nice to live alone in a forest in a safe country like China. You can appreciate it.
At 06:26 what's the name of that tea?
Those look like pine needles ☺️ can get them in herbal tea shop or organic farmers markets
"i wake up at 6am, do work, read, tidy my room".... So this is what its like to not have depression
👍👍
Amen
How can I be there?
Was that a car passing in the background at 2:33 to 2:36 ! !? I thought she was way far into the mountain away from modern society!
Beautiful soul, unfortunately Hermits are a dying breed... Wish many more existed like her
Ah beauty! Nature! Tranquility the humanity at it's nicest! Please don't let Islam near your society. Kashmir used to be like this until Islam arrived!
By earnest effort , discipline and self control, let the wise man build for himself an island which no flood shall overwhelmed.
Maybe start a B&B on the mountain so people can stay for a few days, come to rest and explore and leave with an refreshed mind and spirit.
not a bad idea. but afraid that some guests may trash the place (lack of responsibilities since it's not my place, im only staying for a few days or weeks, etc)
Just wondering isn't she afraid of men around there that could take advantage of her all alone?
I am curious as to how she learned all about mountain life such as planting certain plants or what to put into her tea?
Someone had to teach her this, because after all she did live a city life.
It seems like she is at peace with herself and nature.
I think the safety comes from the mountains themselves. The Zhongnan mountains are full of myths and considered holy, and is the birthplace of kung fu in Chinese culture. There are many hermits living there. Given the local people's deep reverence to this history and culture, I don't think there will be many who will dare disturb the sanctity of those mountains.
She say no electric in the mountain then how she charge her batery camera ?
Maybe with solar energy
Who’s ready to leap free of the world’s traces
to come to sit with me among white clouds? -寒山
I am ready.

🌈🌈🌈🦋💓🍀🌈🌈🌈
I wouldn't mind being Her-Mittt 😘
Where is this exact place someone please tell me
You know. In America. If I wanted to live on a mountain. Which I do. But nevertheless.
First of all. I’d have to buy the land.
Second build the house.
Third pay taxes.
China. Or wherever this girl lives must have a similar system. You have to pay the government. There’s more to this story than what meets the eye.
Youre right about america but in some places in China you can just go live in the mountains. Dont have to buy the land or pay taxes on it. Check out Amongst White Clouds documentary about mountain hermits. Heck in Bhutan if your homeless the government will just give you land. America isnt the worst place but is a huge scam.
You make me question my soul
She should wrote an ebook, or offer tourism to people, that way she can also get an income while stay at the mountain.
But I guess it's had if there's no internet.. :(
thehunterzz456 Zhongnanshan has been famous for thousands of years and is not far from city of xi’an so it is not difficult for her to run business of small hotel for people who like to experience hermit life. What she needs now to make her heart peaceful now, I guess, and I wish her a well balanced life of natural peace and convenience of modern.
@@MegaChibachan Oh, I didn't know that.. But thanks for sharing!
@@irfandy8 i just viewed her weibo. She actually runs business well. The place has 4G network, electricity and water supply system.
@@MegaChibachan what is her weibo?
Goddess
disconnect from technology & connect with nature...
Could you please help me find these lady or her account? I want to go see her in zhongnan someday.........
don't bother her
我怎样可以和 xiangzi 联系?我对她生活有些疑问,不知道要怎样联络上她。
limmemepepe 加我微信1273927099,我告诉你,祥子的微信,公众号,微博我都有
not a recluse, just a nice girl living in the countryside or mountain clean air environment, in a nice house too. however, video and photo doesn't reveal the bugs, mosquitoes, smell, water source and sewage system. if she has water supply problem, then should dig a well or find a spring or river to tap. tks for upload, good idea to follow if finance is not lacking.
✌💚&🌹!
Only recommended if one is very healthy.
Continue living in your fear. Fear = misery
Do you mean that without fear you will be healthy?
LMAO.
Many seek nature in order to regain health. But you may choose to live in misery by fear of not being healthy enough to make a change in your life.
So, are you saying that seeking nature and living in it WILL guarantee a healthy life without any need for medical services?
Can I have what you are smoking?
No! What i'm saying is that in order to live in nature you don't have to be as healthy as you appear to think.
What a beautiful human being. All she needs now is a majestic, strong man to live with her and start a great family.
Life is suffering there is no point to bring new children into this fucking world. Bringing children to experience the same suffering is a selfish act.
Stop breeding!
Stop reproducing!
Stop modern slavery!
Bullcrap!!!
This is really rare women. Because most women out there just tryin to impress her follower on tik tok, and this wise girl is very rare

When one is a hermit. Wow do we speak to ourselves. We c things. We do insignificant things. And we don't eat well at all.
没上大学是对的 给了你更多时间来观察生活 追求自己所好 要是真的在大学呆四年 我觉得你会变很多

我是德国人。我爱中国。 中国很有意思
Define hermit.
I You's 2 b a hermit. I'm thinking of going back. Peaceful and not bad living when u know what to do. Me and my Lord Jesus Christ only us.
Show me your Lord Jesus and i'll follow you and him.
dontaskme: Go to Mass and as the Priest consecrates the bread and wine - He is present in the most humble way.
i want to marry her
spoiling the original purpose of zhongnan mountain. tsskkk...
I bet she gets bored and leaves soon to live an easier life
Ok but will she look after her parents when they're old? Is she vegetarian or what? No mobile phone? Amazing. What about toilet duties? Toothpaste? Menses?
Zhong Nan Shan is famours for it hermits for a long historic time. In 1980, someone (Red Pine, an America) once met a hermit who even didn't know Mao Zedong.
Tekhelet75 Oh no, no phone! But seriously.......

Not a problem, adapted to the new life.
都是些普通人的执念 顺其自然自有解决之道
don't know what her situation is, maybe she resupplies when she goes into town to take pictures or something. but if you have good wilderness knowledge you can make your own toothpaste and soap
