There is a craze for "retreating to the mountains and forests" on the Internet. Everyone yearns for a leisurely pastoral life and gets rid of the hustle and bustle of the city.

This is how Internet celebrity food blogger Li Ziqi became famous.

She lives in the mountains and does everything with her own hands every day. In the video, she can do anything.

She can make delicious meals or complicated furniture. Coupled with her beautiful mountain painting style, she has attracted many fans.

It also makes many people yearn for pastoral life.

But do you know? As early as the 1980s, some people had already achieved real seclusion in the mountains.

They are not ordinary people. Both husband and wife are lecturers at Peking University, so why would two people with such good jobs choose to live in seclusion in the mountains?

The story has to start with her husband Wang Qingsong.

Wang Qingsong came from the countryside, and his ancestors have been farmers for generations. It was not easy for him to become a top student at Peking University.

Wang Qingsong even became the pride of the whole village. At the same time, he was also very successful and successfully stayed at Peking University to teach after graduating from Peking University.

Wang Qingsong is not content with this job, which seems to be a good job to outsiders.

He wanted to continue studying for a Ph.D. in exchange for more knowledge, but the reality was not satisfactory. Wang Qingsong took the Ph.D. exam twice and failed in the end.

In desperation, no matter how unwilling he was, he had to base himself on reality and give up taking the Ph.D.

Wang Qingsong failed to get a doctorate, so his leader sent him to teach a health care course. It was also this opportunity that Wang Qingsong and his wife Zhang Mei met.

Zhang Mei graduated from Beijing Foreign Studies University and later came to teach at Peking University, but at that time Zhang Mei had not yet been awarded the title of teacher.

Wang Qingsong and Zhang Mei gradually got along and found that they were the same kind of people, and neither liked the hustle and bustle of the city.

I feel that the air they breathe every day and the things they use are very "dirty", and the fruits and vegetables they eat are irrigated with chemical fertilizers and are not clean things.

They feel that nature is the cleanest, without modern pollution. They breathe the freshest air in the mountains and forests, eat fruits and vegetables grown on farms, and drink mountain spring water. This is the life they long for.

Because the two people have the same concept, they seem to have met their soul mates and gradually come together.

After getting married, the two planned to move to a rural area on the outskirts of Beijing, and then return to the city to teach during the day, leading a "semi-clean" life.

Since the two moved to the village, many people have looked at them curiously. Rural people will not understand the choice of two urbanites.

They think that they are sick if they cannot live in a good house in the city and have to move to the village to farm and endure hardships.

Every day, different people come to see Wang Qingsong and his wife, just like the monkeys in the zoo for people to watch.

The life of Wang Qingsong and his wife is also unsatisfactory, because it takes them three hours to get from home to work.

One or two days is okay, but if things continue like this, it will be unbearable for any individual.

At this juncture, his wife Zhang Mei was upset because of the issue of professional title evaluation.

Zhang Mei, whose professional title has never been rated high, simply resigned and gave up her job and became a farmer again.

Wang Qingsong quit his job when he saw that his wife was no longer at work and he was missing a companion on his way to work.

The two felt that this village was not the most authentic and natural, so they decided to move to the mountains together.

This crazy decision of the two of them was opposed by their families, who did not agree with the two of them giving up such a good job and going into seclusion.

The two of them were determined to go, and would rather break up with their families than live in seclusion in the mountains.

In the end, Wang Qingsong and the others contracted 2,500 acres of land in the mountains, which became their "paradise".

In order to completely get rid of the pollution in the city, the two of them eliminated all foreign objects and no electrical appliances.

They even use soap locust to wash their clothes, and only use salt water to brush their teeth.

Days like this make the couple feel extremely happy because they no longer have to be polluted by the city.

They get up and work in the fields during the day. No matter how much they sweat, they don’t feel tired, they just feel happy.

Rest when it gets dark, just like the ancients did "work at sunrise and rest at sunset."

The affairs of Wang Qingsong and his wife were found out by a wealthy classmate. When the wealthy classmate found them, he found that Wang Qingsong and Zhang Mei were wearing patched clothes, with cloths covering their heads, their faces were sunburned, and their fingers were scratched. Dry cracked opening.

The couple became real farmers.

The rich classmate broke down and cried: "Why are you like this? I will give you whatever money you need, I can't let the doctor from Peking University suffer like this."

I regret that I didn't know earlier. This incident made them what they are today.

But Wang Qingsong thinks that the rich classmates are very pitiful: "I can hear that he is on the verge of collapse under the pressure of being in a high position, but he doesn't know how rich I am in my heart."

However, as his son grew up, Wang Qingsong realized that no matter how much knowledge he had, he could not let his son understand the world, so he and his wife decided to leave the mountain.

With many years of farming experience, Wang Qingsong decided to sell his agricultural products to earn money for his son’s education.

Facing the problem of their children’s education, the couple had to give up their paradise and reintegrate into the society.

What do you think of the practices and choices of Wang Qingsong and Zhang Mei?
