For those who are not comfortable with the modern pace of life, they always aspire to leave the hustle and bustle of the city life and return to the quiet countryside.
Mortgage the city villa and then borrow more money to go home to build a homestay
Xing Yongheng was originally from a small village in the mountains of eastern Zhejiang. Therefore, he has always had a special attachment to rural life.
In 2016, he founded a design company when he was only 37 years old. Because of his busy work, he and his children gradually formed a distance.
In order to improve the situation, as well as for their children to have a larger space to grow up, the whole family of Hinh Vinh Hang decided to leave the street to return to their hometown to live in 2020. The 300 square meter garden villa in the suburbs. Oh Shanghai was taken away by me bank mortgage.
After researching for a while, Xing Yongheng discovered a countryside about 1.5 hours’ drive from Shanghai. Ke Gia Don is a village built in the middle of the field, surrounded by small streams connecting to two nearby lakes of Dien Son and Trung Ho.
There are 4 houses for rent here, including houses and land. In front of this row of houses, there is a river flowing through, the north is a large field and forest. Standing from the courtyard, the only thing that people can see is nature. No man-made products can come into view.
“For someone who has lived in the city for more than 20 years, these are luxuries,” he said.
Pictures Vinh Hang and his wife live in a homestay designed and built by himself. It consists of 6 living quarters, 3 gardens and 2 acres of farmland.
To finance, he sold his old garden villa in Shanghai and borrowed more money from relatives and friends. The total amount of money he has raised to invest in the homestay is up to 13 million yuan (45 billion VND).
Image Vinh Hang uses quite a lot of materials taken directly from nature. In front of the gate of the house is a block of mountain stone made of screen, the middle courtyard is paved with 580 green stone slabs. To build a homestay, he hired a rock transporter of 40 tons of mountain soil from his hometown, and at the same time reused some rocks from his old house in his hometown.
The first floor of the building is a common living space for the whole family, about 90m2. Large living room with all glass walls, overlooking a field.
The plants in the yard were taken from a house about to be demolished in the village, including an oak tree, a cinnamon tree and two persimmon trees. Picture Vinh Hang still took 3 months to find a large camphor tree to plant in the homestay.
“When the tree was planted in the ground, the whole house was suddenly filled with life,” he said.
Peaceful and relaxing life in the middle of nature
Initially, Hinh Vinh Hang planned to buy a house to run a homestay business. However, due to the epidemic, there were no tourists, and this place became a place for his whole family to live a rural life for the past 2 years.
Everyone in the house is also used to life as it is now, calm and relaxed. Sometimes, the whole family also goes down to the creek to scoop snails and catch fish, then go to the fields to pick vegetables and bamboo shoots. The food was too much to eat, they also shared it with other houses in the village.
“The mind is quiet, the temper is also less impatient,” he said.
Because the terrain in the village is quite flat, Hinh Vinh Hang has built three small hills to make a place for children to play. They can play with pets, feed fish or play in these hills.
Since returning here, Xing Yongheng’s three children have also become happier than when they lived in the city. When they don’t have to learn online, they can run around, walk around the village, and then make their own toys out of roadside reeds.
Looking at old friends and colleagues struggling in the city, Xing Yongheng couldn’t help but feel guilty. He is embarrassed to share his daily life on social networks. Because, everyone said they were jealous, praising him as a “foresight”.
In the past, Xing Yongheng still had to go to the office in Shanghai 1-2 times a week. Since the outbreak of the epidemic, he has worked online from home, thereby enjoying the true countryside life.
