We will bring you eight models returning to pure life in three phases, each with its own characteristics. Let's see which one resonates with you. Do you like this lifestyle?
1. Hubei couples will build 20,000 mud houses in the next 30 years, return to natural life and realize their freedom of life.
After 20 17/90, the couple Bobo and Xiao Fang returned to their hometown in Guangshui, Hubei. Together with several like-minded volunteers, they made mud balls out of mud, sand and straw and shaped them into huts. Here, we do everything by ourselves. We raise seedlings in spring, make soap in summer, plant trees in autumn and make heatable adobe sleeping platform in winter. ...
Bobo said: "We have to work in the city for 30 years before we can have our own suite. Now we have spent two years building earthen houses, and we are free for the remaining 28 years. "
"The sun rises and the sun sets. Dig a well to drink water and plow the fields to eat. " The scenes described thousands of years ago in "Song of Breaking the Earth" are actually very similar to their current lifestyle. It may take half a day to manage vegetable fields, and most of the food can be self-sufficient all year round.
Besides food, they also make their own daily necessities, such as handmade tea seed powder, shower gel and soap. I will also take my children to dye clothes with plant pigments. Their current savings are about tens of thousands of dollars, and there is no pressure to make money. People pay little attention to dressing up and spend almost nothing.
Their fixed working hours are 6 hours a day. Everyone takes turns to cook, sit together and chat in the evening, play music and dance some impromptu dances. Their long-term builders here, plus Bobo's parents, a family of ten people, excluding hydropower and building materials, the monthly living consumption is about 1000 yuan.
Here, the order and priority of life are rearranged. Bobo said: "Now people are getting farther and farther away from nature and less humble. Nature has given us many things. The only thing we have to learn is how to get along with it and create a low-energy and non-destructive way to get what we need. The simplest thing is the happiest thing. "
2. Baotuan Village in the mountainous area of Fujian raises offspring in the mountains.
Starting from 20 15, seven or eight young friends moved from big cities such as Beijing and Hangzhou to live, live and create in the mountains of Beifeng Mountain, Fuzhou. After 1990s, Lei Yu and Sheng Qun, who made artworks with traditional lacquer materials, and Jia Kai, who made ceramic sculptures, took their whole families to the mountains. Wen Wen just resigned at the beginning of the year and moved to the mountains. Xie He and Jianbin have lived in the mountains for several years, trying to raise their next generation in the mountains.
They live on the same mountain, often get together, take care of each other, live in groups and are independent of each other. They say there is little anxiety in this life. This group of mountain people seem to live in groups, but in fact they have also established a tacit understanding. Don't disturb each other when you need to be alone, and communicate more when you need company.
Sheng Qun summed up this state: "The most important thing is that we are very sincere to each other."
The quadrangle in Sheng Qun, Lei Yuhe is a typical old house in Fuzhou. The house was the former residence of the late Qing Dynasty, and the landlord was a local carpenter, who rented it to them by repairing it instead of renting it. In mountainous areas, building a garden depends entirely on local materials. To the south is the studio. At seven or eight, it's warm and bright here. They drink tea here and start their day's work.
For the difference between mountain life and city life, the feeling of temperature and temperature is particularly profound.
"After staying in Beijing for a few years, I always thought that I could work for a few years before doing my own creation, but in big cities, it seems that I will always be pushed away and I can't stop."
When she arrived in the mountains, she found it was not as inconvenient as she thought. There is electricity, internet, small restaurants and express delivery collection points in this mountain. "The important thing is that when you face nature and yourself, you will gradually realize what you really need."
A few years ago, like most urban animals, she spent nearly a quarter of her monthly income on paying rent. Living in a crowd, "it's unnatural to buy a lot of perfume and clothes, and it looks very gregarious."
Now that she lives in the mountains, her material desires naturally become lower. Clothes, shoes and hats are enough, not to mention cosmetics and perfumes. It costs almost nothing except food and water and electricity.
After feeling the beauty of life in mountainous areas, young people began to train their next generation in mountainous areas. Xie He and Jia Kai both have their own children. They have similar views on parenting, that is, let children grow up freely in the mountains.
Xie He and Jianbin, with their children, live in the old house built by their father He Lian twenty years ago. They are China Academy of Art's classmates. After graduation and marriage, they worked and lived in Hangzhou for a year. Xie He grew up in the mountains with his father. After constant discussion and running-in, the two decided to return to the mountains to live together.
Living in the mountains is not a simple "wild interest" as many people imagine, nor is it seclusion, but there are many concrete things to do. He summed up the way people get along with mountains. "It has a lot (resources), we can take some; It has shortcomings and we will add some. "
After getting used to this lifestyle, you will feel the really beautiful part of mountain life. In the mountains, there are infinite ways to play with children, just as there are infinite changes in the mountains.
Jia Kai originally studied sculpture and was very sensitive to space. He feels that children need to run freely and feel the height and space dispersion of some mountains. He said, "This is a natural aesthetic education. Cities are like boxes of all sizes-apartments, shopping malls, classrooms, and children are looking forward to it. How can they be happy? "
Life is so long, it is more important to cultivate children's curiosity about the world and find what they really want to do. As for school education, they all intend to let their children go to ordinary primary schools and junior high schools directly in the towns in the mountains.
