- As many of you already know I’m about to move to rural China this spring - and next time I’m in the US I’ll have to get some advice from my aunt about how to grow veggies and raise ducks because she has it all figured out 🌾🐥as for the part about building your own house… might have to pass on that one 🤣🤣
You may be wondering why this wasn’t posted with my other US vlogs. I got too behind on work and some videos couldn’t get edited in time, so I skipped over some things. Most of the unused US footage from this summer/fall I didn’t save, but some of it was too interesting to delete - like this one - and I finally got time to edit it so here it is at last, a few months late 😜

How do I get such stable footage even while biking and walking? 📷 amzn.to/45rObZy
She's waterproof, shoots in 4K, and is very tiny and portable, perfect for recording an action-packed day without the fuss of a fancy complex setup

In regards to the questions about Wei -
First off, there has been some debate in the comments about whether it’s appropriate for people to be asking about Wei at all since this is my “personal life” etc. I just wanted to say, I don’t think by any means it’s inappropriate to ask and I am not offended by any of your questions and comments. I chose to share my life on the internet and this is what comes with it. I was originally going to wait until Wei agrees to share this and put it on all my video accounts simultaneously, which is why I have not responded to most comments about this, but it’s been quite a while… so for now, I am at least putting this out here on RUclips, the one social media account that always has been and always will be 100% mine. As for bilibili and other Chinese platforms, there is nothing I can do for now. 请不要把这个内容搬到国内平台。
Wei and I are not together anymore. This was not the result of any one sudden thing that happened while I was abroad or once I returned. There have been serious unresolved issues going on for several years and I honestly just ran out of patience. I am almost 28 and at the point where it is time to think about starting a family. As much as it seems that I am always on the go and will never settle down, it has always been my plan to have kids. I don’t think that either of us wouldn’t be a good parent, I just can’t see a future of raising a family together with the issues we have. We do not have a healthy dynamic to raise kids in and it is on me for not having the foresight to properly address our issues earlier. I don’t want anyone to think that I have been miserable all these years or something - for the most part, we were happy together, but our personalities clash in too many ways.
So, we are separated and it is unlikely that this will change. I know this is probably a shock to many of you but that’s how social media is, you only show the best parts of your life, relationships included. We have countless beautiful memories and created a lot of great videos, and I will never regret the almost five years that we were together but the issues in our relationship are beyond what I am willing to accept anymore. Please be respectful when commenting on this and no negativity towards Wei please, hate on me if you wish but leave him out of it. Thank you everyone for understanding.
很多人在问我和王总的情况，很抱歉没有早一点针对这个问题做出解释。首先我想说明一下，我并没有被你们问王总在哪里之类的评论冒犯到。把我的私生活放在网上是我的选择，既然做出了这个选择就要承担后果。我本来想等到他愿意在所有平台上同步公布这件事情再告诉大家，所以基本上没有回应大家的评论。但是已经过去挺长时间了，我觉得有点不合理了，我先在油管上告诉大家。YT是唯一100%属于我自己的平台，国内平台是我们共同经营的。希望大家理解情况，不要把这个内容搬到国内平台。
我和王总分居了。这并不是因为我在国外的时候发生了什么大事，而是因为近几年我们之间有一些比较严重的问题，一直没有解决，我没有耐心了。我都快28了，要开始为组件家庭做准备。虽然看起来好像我要一直漂泊下去，其实我一直计划早晚要生孩子。我不认为我或者他不会做好的父母，只是我认为我们之间的问题会导致我们没有办法为孩子提供一个健康的成长环境。大家不要误会觉得这些年我过的很糟糕，我们整体上过着快乐的日子。只是我们性格不合，有太多的矛盾和冲突。
所以我们分开了，和好的可能也不高。我知道这件事情可能会令很多人惊讶。但是社交媒体就是这样的，大家会把生活最美好的一面展示出来，感情生活不例外。我们有太多美好的记忆，一起创作了很多我很欣赏的作品。我永远不会后悔我们在一起的这五年。只不过是我们之间的一些问题，我无法忍受了。大家评价这件事，随便打击我，只要求放过王总吧，不要针对他写负面评论。谢谢理解。
好聚好散。跨国跨人种婚姻确实很考验双方，祝你以后能找到心怡的男人，无论他是哪国人。
在一次一场就是缘分，谢谢你们俩一块为观看者带来的快乐。另外恭喜10W订阅~~~
best wishes for you and wei
it's your life，respect all your choices
Thank you for sharing... I can see in your previous videos that you loved him sincerely & wholeheartedly and if this is the best for everyone going forward......l wish you and Wei nothing but the best...
She is strong traditional woman enjoying every day. Little thing brings joy, happiness and fulfillment to her.
I have a lot of respect for people with good homesteading skills. Your aunt is amazing.
ms, yang pls show us where is this rual in US
She's noted "Vermont" in the video.
I live off grid in Ontario, Canada. I love off grid living....peaceful and harmony. You can do it better in China, at least you don't need a gun like what your aunt does.
l love this video. kind of American farmer's life or country's life.
What an incredible lady! I didn’t know there were still people living like that in America. It’s inspiring but it also makes me feel inadequate haha
🤣🤣
Wow your aunt is an amazing woman. She has this awesome pioneering spirit in a beautiful country setting. Much respect to her. Sorry to hear what happened to you and Wei. That happens in life where you find out later that both of you doesn't fit each other. Better early than later. You show much maturity and diplomacy in the separation. Good luck to both of you and all the best to each of you. Thanks for sharing.
Wow! Your aunt lives in a wonderful area!Anyway rural China is just amazing and in my opinion you made the right choice to live in such a beautiful place, surrounded by a nice nature. A peaceful place is always something precious which brings a lot of positive energy to live better. Thank you sharing.
I wouldn't over romanticize farm living in china. more humid climate compared to the US means more bugs at very least! it's a pain to keep bugs out even in the desert state of California, imagining almost year-round humid weather in china.
@@catbertevil750 I know
@@catbertevil750 it depends, in south China, it can be very humid, and rains a lot. but in most of the north China, it's totally different.
Simple living is the best living :)
Now that’s a nice setup your aunt has 😁. A real pioneer!
Sorry to hear about you and Wei. Another reminder of how social media is just a small, curated glimpse of life and not the whole picture. Anyways, life is short, precious, and fleeting. There’s no point in being unhappy or dealing with an ‘unhealthy dynamic’ (worrisome euphemism). Anyhooos, I wish you nothing but happiness and fulfillment.
seeing such a beautiful environment just makes me angrier at the norfolk southern catastrophe unfolding. I hope your aunt and the rest of your family stay safe
Wow! Your aunt is one truly impressive woman! Such beautiful, truly rural self-supporting lifestyle. Like China's Liziqi! Won't take issue with that for sure. Bravo!
我来自美国中西部，虽然家人生活在芝加哥，但从小到大也会经常去郊外的农场。这个Aunt的生活其实并不是典型的farm life，而是有种hermit的感觉了
Introvert enjoying solitude. Genghis Khan, a classic introvert, always prefered to live on grassland despite of so many wealthy cities under his control. His guards staying out of his sight around his yurt.
Walden Pond, it is.
@@theolich4384 Indeed.
啥是hermit😂
@@snowball429宅
Wow, your aunt live an awesome life 👍 beautiful property and scenic view! Thanks for the video🙏
Your aunt is truly an admirable person! She reminds me of the old-time Americans, self-reliant and tenacious
Your Aunt is incredible. I love her homestead way of life. Seems so peaceful and serene-although with a lot of hard work no doubt. Sorry to hear about you and Wei. Sometimes, relationships don’t work out and it is no fault of either parties. People may be at different stages of their own personal growth and that may not be where their partner needs them to be. And never mind the cultural differences as well! I think you are very mature to take the high road. Ignore the haters. Every relationship has its merits. Just because you don’t end up marrying that person, doesn’t mean your relationship wasn’t worthwhile. Five years is a significant amount of time for a young person. I know, my first significant relationship also lasted five years. Neither of us were bad people. We just weren’t the right fit at that stage of our lives. Relationships require work, but they shouldn’t require constant work-if that makes sense. Everything always work out in the end. You are a special lady Katherine. Keep making your videos. They are enjoyed by many I assure you.
I think living in the rural areas like your aunt’s, is quiet and peaceful.
Also, homemade flower tea and fruit jam are organic and nutritious.
I am sure your aunt is very proud of you on your plans to farm and raise ducks. That’s a beautiful farm and house that your aunt has with loving animals so thank you for the tour. I love buying/supporting local Midwestern farmers at farmer’s markets for raspberry jams, honey, and produce. I am sure your future videos of your farming and animals will inspire others to consider/move to the peaceful countryside. May God bless your endeavor and your future relationship!
This is the most wholesome video I've seen this year. 谢谢 👍
i think this is what people mean when they say they want to retire in the countryside. that's a beautiful farm. cute animals too.
Great video as always! Really appreciate the update about Wei. Wish you guys all the best!
Amazing. I love it. I saw your other post too. You are as strong as your aunt and you will be great. A long life still awaits and I am happy that you are in charge of it
Wow the horses on your aunt's farm live the best horse life in the world!
Wow, whoever married you is really a gift from God👍👍👍
cant wait to see your cute ducks and chickens!
Great vlog as ever, keep them coming, love your aunt's place in the hills. Thanks for sharing he simple life. I really admired that.
Wow! Big congrats to hitting exactly 100k subscribers Katherine! Huge milestone, I am hoping your channel will get even bigger sooner!
Your aunt leads an extraordinary life! Incredible
AMAZING!!! I LIKE THIS LIFE STYLE!
Her place looks lovely, and I can't wait to see what you do with yours.
Stay safe out there and good luck out there!
Wow. I thought something was wrong when you went back to the States without him. He has been through a lot. Wish him the best. Wish both of you the best. Keep us update on your rural life. I'm just starting my peppers now and soon tomatoes and other plants. 9 weeks until planting time here in Missouri
I have to say the ducks are pretty lucky...get to eat fresh blueberries for Free? even us human had to goto the supermarkets to buy expensive ones!😅
Happiness is so simple 😍
Your aunt is amazing!
Beautiful.. just beautiful, video/Vlog. I'm smiling ear to ear watching this from here in Seattle, Wa. Have a great weekend & stay safe!
I love your vlogs, they truly build bridges between the USA and China. Rural life looks so beautiful and idyllic there. I think everyone should have the opportunity to live a self sustainable way of life. Thanks for sharing ❤️🇺🇸❤️🇨🇳❤️
Thanks for sharing this great video and the info in the pinned comment. And all the best to both Wei and you. Cheers
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍💪💪💪💪💪💪👍🌹🌹😍😍
your aunts house is really interesting and idyllic. Cant wait to see what you come up with.
Love your aunt’s aesthetic 👌🏻
Wow. I love to bike through the Green Mountains. I wonder if I'll ever have the pleasure of riding by this place!
I'm sorry to hear about you and wei. I wish the best for the both of you in all your future endeavors
I do love these kind prople. Katherine's family and journey got plenty of them! 🤩
I have to give due credit on by your example of prioritising eating greens for nutrition. As earlier said I strayed from the path. I do feel more energetic, lighter, physically robust and acute mentally. Thanks.😋😛
Earlier figures vacillated awhile. Congratulation on this 100k subscribers milestone on youtube.Your concerted efforts has paid off.
There can't be too many homesteaders of north American associate members in China🤠😂At least you hadn't mention gesses for the sake of your beauty sleep.
Wow is amazing life at Vermont, your aunt has beautiful pets, lovely. This video was at summertime, how about winter time? I know Vermont is very cold and beautiful placed. How’s all your aunt pets?🤔🤔🤔🤔
Wow your Aunt is really amazing. That is A LOT of hard work.
I respect your aunt’s chosen way of life…a minimal carbon footprint without the sacrifice of any happiness.
I also respect whatever you have chosen to do in your private life. We hope everything will be resolved amicably so you can continue with your journey of life happily.🙏🙏🙏
Wish you all the best on your new life whatever you choose always be happy.
Wow your aunt is amazing. That is impressive that she built that house and does all that by herself. Duck mafia!
Wow. I love her aesthetic. Beautiful home and property 😍👌
Oh wow!! I'm new to your channel but this is all quite the stunner -- I mean both the breakup and of course the video!
Late to the party as well but really appreciate you sharing your very interesting life -- and family!! :-)
这视频很鼓舞人心，美国有妳的姑姑(姨妈），中国有李子柒，都喜欢自己过简朴又环保的日子。谢谢！
That's awesome, your aunt is amazing! Can't wait to see your version in China, I'm sure it'll still amaze me haha.
阳离子：Thanks for sharing. God bless you and Wei as He does for everyone in this world! Take care. Enjoy watching your Vlog.
Nice place your Aunt lives reminds me when I was a kid where my parents like animals especially Ducks & chickens where i cant forget given their young ones strolling around , We do have goats & Pigs as well & tons of kittens / puppies . Urban areas are definitely different but its really your call to live in a much more rural areas & still able to work in a city . Some colleagues of mine takes time to still make their own Gardens harvesting assorted veggies & chickens / Ducks laying eggs believe it or not, try to sell the fresh eggs !. If your adventurous & willing to labor , then vineyards is the way to go as well especially where I work & live in California where homemade wine from its own vineyards , incredible . Living in rural areas is also a healing process from stress of Urban lifestyle to enable ones mind to relax, achieve a a harmonious serenity of inner self which is advantageous of prolonging longevity decreasing stressful unwanted substance in our system . You add loving animals like Dogs , cats , chickens , Ducks etc which is a win win goals in life .
Everything in life is temporary, including life itself. Time waits for no one, hence life must be lived to the fullest. You do you and be yourself. I am enjoying the China life vicariously through your videos. I am also planning to visit China soon and plan to bike tour all the Guangdong places from your videos. Cheers to your new life from a distant NYC viewer/fan.
Amazing, can't wait to see you village life in China
She has a very "bad-ass" homestead! That is some serious Yankee self-reliance. Hope your Chinese viewers can appreciate it.
Your aunt is pretty cool!!!
Your aunt is amazing~
Amazing natural life! That must be a fulfilled life!
Your aunt is gifted. God has compensated her for her being yet a single woman, without children. She has her animals and she has a beautiful portion in her life, which other people perhaps will envy.
is she single and without children? ...
If we have more people like your aunt, and some of the rural people you met in China, we would have no mass shooting, no war, no global warming. People would actually care about each other, the animals we live with, and the land we share.
Glad to see you're still at it, haven't been following lately.
Goodonya for doing some "homesteading" here, that's always been a think I've wanted to try with my family here, but finding work is the challenge.
Relationships, sorry to hear, it's difficult to cross the cultural bridge, probably half the people I know didn't last after marriage, but that's the same ration back in the states, so?
Katherine, I am a girl from Anhui, China where is close to Hangzhou. I am about your age learning computer science in a university, and it is my dream life too!!! Every time I see you video, I can't help being obsessed with your personalities, just like stars shining in the dark university. It is so lucky that our world still has you and I'm so lucky to learn you from the Internet. You give me a lot of encouragement, thank you and wish you all the best!!!
your aunt is so cute! i saw your stowe t-shirt. go new england!
Wow!You got 100K subs....Congratulations!
Some exceptional nice living and enjoy the life...take care!
Wow, your Aunt's home in Vermont is almost storybook perfect! Unbelievable she did that all on her own, and it's not hard to imagine how you would be inspired by her lifestyle. For better or worse loved the "Welcome to America" comment. You're probably too busy to watch much television, but I'll mention again the show Meet Yourself 去有风的地方 as chill view of new meets old in rural China.
Katherine, I respect your aunt who choose to live in the 19th century live style. On the other hand, you are a highly educated 21st century woman who have access to plenty of modern conveniences. I treasure the past, but I embrace the present. I hope you do the same.
Live alone happily, the knowledge/knowhow are the most important thing. Good roads, ACE hardware/Home Depot stores, Medical service nearby would help. Then having a good relationship with relatives, friends and church will be the cherry on the top of a cake.
❤always love you and support you!
To you & your aunt 🙏👍💪
Off grid and self sufficiency is the life. I have been to Vermont, very rustic beautiful country.
Thats a really brave life ❤️
Good companions complement each other. Hope you can find your Mr. Right soon😊
牛亲戚就是牛👍 Katherine, 加油哦
好，终于可以看看老美的农村生活了
A pretty interesting video, like !
100k yeah yeah congrat
her indoor flush toilet is just adorable!!
非常喜欢看到美国民众最朴素的生活原貌，乡村永远是最自由、最自在的生活之地；
Respect!!!
This woman literally builds her life. So diao.
super super super cool
wow this is the best video I've ever seen in your channel maybe it's really a new world for me, a Chinese.😬
You make my day.
非常喜欢这一期的视频。有本事的人 在哪里在什么条件下都能过好自己的生活。
What do you want? It's a simple question with a personal answer of a lifelong journey.
Hi Katherine, it's sad to know your and Wei's decision. I agree life cannot be always on moving wheels, but settled down, having a cosy small home to raise kids. From your videos, Wei is a gentle person, humorous, so I feel sad you cannot be together, but understandably so many cultural clashes. But life goes on. You will have your kids, 28 is still fine. When my only son was born my wife was 36 yrs old. Take care.
i love it
What an amazing woman! I think you may have inherited some of her genes.
Out-House without a door will ensure people don't spend too much time in it, reading or otherwise. It is a good time-management tool, unless you put a clock in the john. Vermont is really cold in winter !
Katherine.... congratulations for doing what you want to do and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
I certainly admire the lifestyle you've chosen and wish I could have done the same thing at your age.
Trust you'll find your new partner soon, if not already, and I wish both you the best for the future. Take care...
Regards from downunder..
Very nice!
Hello, look like you are happy and content. I can't wait to see you new house in rural China. And one more thing, not all relationships are ment to last forever. Wish you much piece and happiness. 🌸
Really lovely.
Wow..your Chinese is this good!!!
Love you for all your POST?????
A journey of a thousand miles begin with one small step.
Kathleen, you can be more badass than your aunt.
Cheering you on from Malaysia.
