Day in the life of a Chinese farmer in his 80s

We really loved filming this video, YeYe is quite the character and was all too happy to show us what a day in his life was like. For a man in his 80s, he has a lot of energy and we were pretty tired after following him around for the day. This video is a bit different from our usual videos but we hope you love it as much as we do.

Don't forget you can stay with YeYe too. Check out Laojia for more details.

Yeye is an interesting person, he even likes to give a "yeah" gesture in front of camera. May long life to yeye.

It is a traditional rural life, people eat simply and hard working. What we hope is only a peaceful life. Love from Hongkong.

What a warm, interesting documentary of Yeye’s life. Thank you for showing us his day, and I truly enjoyed. I can gradually understand the Chinese living philosophy. They seem peaceful and content with their life. I also watched another wonderful file by Gorge Thompson, Journey to the east. It also portrayed the peaceful Chinese living philosophy.

What a lovely tranquil life. The old man will live for over 100 years at such a slow pace of life.

A simple life, but meaningful one.
No fuss, no headaches, no rushing.
One could live until a hundred and still be strong and energetic.

[RielLis]

Yeye is such a welcoming and kind person!

If the BBC, CNN, and DW can be more like you guys, the world could be much more peaceful than now…
Love! I’m Chinese myself, my grandparents and their elders are all from a country place similar to this one. I had only visited a couple times during my childhood. I’m living in the US now. This video not only bring back my childhood memories, but also warmed my heart…
Thank you for sharing your journey! Hope you two stay well, safe and sound!

Excellent story, I know that 'Yeye' means Grandpa in Chinese! Thanks for sharing with us and this is the first time you created the day of the life of Chinese people.

[AbhishekMazumder]

I wish I had a grandfather like Yeye and I wish I can become one like him.

[ahhhlvin]

I loved the little interactions y'all had in Chinese with him, so adorable!

[rafevelly]

Brilliant man, amazing life. Thank you for sharing your story. Bless him

We need a seperate vlog on the reconstruction work of Yeye's House.
That wil be a treasure in itself, a documentary of history!
