And her video also made many people lament the beauty of the countryside.

Quiet country roads and lush trees. Flowers are everywhere in summer, and there are warm sunshine and first snow in winter. Shuttling through the fields in Hanfu, working at sunrise and resting at sunset is a new scene of Xanadu.

However, this is just for us to see in front of the camera.

Behind the camera, unimaginable sweat and efforts are often paid.

The summer vacation after I graduated from primary school, I went back to my hometown in the mountains and lived with my grandparents for two months.

That mountain, if it's just a tour, is really beautiful and makes people linger.

But it doesn't taste good when you live in it.

You just want to escape, just want to move out.

It was already noon when I got to my grandmother's village by car, and I had to walk for at least half an hour after getting off the bus. It's all mountain roads, steep and difficult to walk. If it is snowy, it is even more dangerous. If you are not careful, you will fall from a height.

The village is built on the mountain, and it is rare to see a flat cement road. Even the buses that cross the village only run twice a day.

Grandma waited for me at the entrance of the village early. She was very happy to see me. After taking me home, she asked me to stew chicken for me. That's a free-range chicken at home. I've hardly fed it. In the morning, I went to the mountains to look for bugs.

Cooking is done in a rural earthen stove with a thin iron pot on it, and the rich smell of stewed chicken emanates from the bamboo grate. The dog next door has been wagging its tail at grandma's door, hesitating whether it can come in and get a piece of meat to eat.

Under the earthen stove is firewood, all branches picked up from the mountain, which is picked up almost every day, because the amount of firewood used for boiling water and cooking is particularly large, and firewood is not as resistant to burning as coal.

Chicken is particularly tight, which may be due to eating insects, or it may be due to the heavy exercise of finding food by yourself every day.

In short, at 5 o'clock in the morning, grandma got up to kill chicken and stew.

Stewed for 8 hours, by 2 pm, the chicken was stewed.

It is so delicious that it has never been eaten, and it is not as good as the chicken that can be stewed in an hour now.

After lunch, grandma will go to the vegetable garden in the mountains to pick some vegetables, so I followed.

In the afternoon, the sun is a bit sinister, wearing a sun hat, and sweat keeps flowing down from the top of your head.

One of the biggest inconveniences in mountainous areas is that there is little land and it is far away. Different from the plain area, there is a large area of even cultivated land here.

Grandma and I walked for a long time, and we were soaked before we got to the small vegetable garden.

Visual inspection scores up to three points, with more tomatoes, eggplant and peppers.

I want to sit on the ground and have a rest. I found that mosquitoes in the mountains are like sperm. Don't want to hit me hard, even through jeans, I can bite through.

10 minutes later, I bit a dozen bags.

It's still noon, and many mosquitoes dare not come out in the hot sun. If the sun goes down, mosquitoes in the mountains will eat people.

I had to walk around, waving mosquitoes.

On the way back, grandma picked a handful of wild fruits for me, which was very sweet, which seemed to be the only advantage of Dashan.

In just one hour on the mountain road, I met several snakes, some were basked in grass nests, and some were hung on trees to hide from the rain.

Grandma picked up a tiny snake and threw it back to the chicken. A few chickens snatched them up quickly in the yard. Two of them each held one end of the snake, but refused to let it taste delicious.

Another big inconvenience in the mountains is the difficulty in drinking water.

The year I went was probably just over two thousand years. At that time, there was no running water in the village, so the water used at home had to be picked from the well at the head of the village.

Rugged mountain road, a shoulder pole, two shaking buckets, panting and trying to keep balance, this kind of scene can often be seen on mountain roads.

Every household has a large water tank for storing water. If it is full, it can last for half a month.

I've been here for a week, and my hands are full of calluses, but I haven't worked in the fields.

I just picked up some firewood, chopped some thick branches with an axe and picked some vegetables in the garden, and my hands began to get rough.

The bag bitten by mosquitoes on the first day has not disappeared for a week, and the new bag has risen again.

Houses in the countryside are a little dark and damp, and there are often many bugs at home. Although there are no flying cockroaches in the south, we often see unidentified insects with more than a dozen legs crawling around the corner of the house in the north.

I often chase this fast-legged bug in a house with chickens.

I even learned to pick up a small snake and take it back to the chicken, although the sticky and slippery feeling scared me.

It has been 20 years, and now few people live in the original village.

Life is really inconvenient. Just picking firewood and water every day takes up a lot of people's energy, not to mention buying some oil, salt, sauce and vinegar and running far away.

Electricity has only been available for nearly 20 years. In the last century, kerosene lamps were lit.

There is only a flame as big as a bean, but the smoke is choking.

It is really hard for people living in the present society to live such a life every day.

Don't talk about doing heavy work. The mere presence of snakes scares many people out of living.

Li's life in Xanadu looks really beautiful, but it's only the beauty of these dozens of minutes in front of the camera, and the rest is the difficulty of living in remote rural areas and the hard work of the team.

If there is only one person, this life really can't last!
