Deep in Wumeng Mountain, the roads were rough and plunging. It took 8 hours, nearly 500 kilometers from Kunming to Lin Guoer’s hometown, Yanjin County of Zhaotong City, Yunnan Province. Walking deep down the mountain, a place with a wooden house, a brook and fields came into view. The workbench in the video was a little shabby. Two cameras stood there with paint peeling off. “I rented the yard and built the cabin myself. I want to build a paradise with my hands!”
