Shyla's Chinese life

New video coming soon! Hi everyone, I’m Shyla!

This video is a little different from my usual daily life posts. This time I’m sharing a full cooking tutorial: five very simple, homestyle Chinese soups.

No fancy ingredients, no complicated steps — just basic everyday staples, all five soups cost around 1 US dollar total. They’re easy enough that even if you barely cook, you can follow along.

This video will still be released right here on this channel.
Going forward, all my new cooking tutorials will be posted on my second channel:

Shyla's Chinese life

New video coming soon! Hi everyone, I’m Shyla!

This video follows an ordinary working day back at my job in rural China. I sold scrap waste for a little extra cash, went shopping at the local village market, and came home to make corn cakes with homegrown corn for dinner. While I was eating, my neighbor stopped by to pay back part of the money she owed me.

No fancy plans, no dramatic stories — just a real, plain day of a 50-year-old woman living in the Chinese countryside. Every penny is earned through hard work, and life goes on step by step.

Life doesn’t have to be extraordinary. Peace comes from small earnings, simple home-cooked meals, and taking each day as it comes.

Shyla's Chinese life

New video coming soon! Hi everyone, I’m Shyla!

This video follows a quiet ordinary day when my daughter came to visit me in rural China. We cooked lunch at home, relaxed in the afternoon, walked around the county park, and had dinner together.

No fancy plans, no expensive meals — just a regular mother‑daughter day, plain and honest. No acting, no made‑up stories, just genuine moments from a 50‑year‑old woman living in the Chinese countryside.

Happiness doesn’t need to cost a lot. It’s in simple home‑cooked food, slow walks, and time spent with family.

Shyla's Chinese life

New video coming soon! Hi everyone, I’m Shyla!
This video is about my real working life at a small shoe factory in rural China, where I make only $1.4 an hour doing piece-rate work.
I don’t talk about fancy jobs or high incomes here. Instead, I take you through a normal workday, break down my full monthly salary, and list every small living expense I have.
You will see how I count my daily earnings, what I spend money on each month, and exactly how much I manage to put into savings at the end of the month.
It’s just plain, honest numbers from a regular rural worker, nothing dramatic or overstated.
No acting, no made-up stories, just genuine moments of a 50-year-old woman living and working in the Chinese countryside.
I want to show you that you don’t need a big salary to live a steady life.
Happiness does not always come from earning lots of money or buying expensive things.
It hides in small careful savings, simple home-cooked food, and being close to family every day.

Shyla's Chinese life

New video coming soon! Hi everyone, I’m Shyla!

This video shows a quiet rainy rest day for my husband and me in rural China.
We don’t go shopping or look for busy entertainment on rainy days. Instead, we stay at home and clean up our 30㎡ rural kitchen together.

You will see us wiping down the stove, organizing the pantry shelves, and tidying up every corner of the kitchen.
It’s just slow, plain housework on a rainy day, nothing dramatic or fancy.

No acting, no fancy scenes, just genuine moments of a 50-year-old couple living an ordinary life in the Chinese countryside.

I want to show you that you don’t need exciting plans to have a nice day.
Happiness does not always come from spending lots of money or going out.
It hides in a clean tidy kitchen, the sound of rain outside, and quiet peaceful days with the one you love.

Shyla's Chinese life

New video coming soon! Hi everyone, I'm Shyla!

This story is about Lucky, the puppy I found abandoned in a trash bin three months ago.
I live alone in a big 200㎡ rural house, and life used to feel quiet and empty.
This little dog wandered into my life and slowly changed everything.

Come along and see our ordinary daily routine.
Watch us having dinner side by side, and hear my honest thoughts about living alone at 50.
No acting, no fancy scenes, just genuine quiet moments between me and Lucky.

I’d like to share how a helpless stray puppy filled all the lonely corners of my courtyard.
You’ll see, warmth can come from the smallest, unexpected companions.

Shyla's Chinese life

New video coming soon! Hi everyone, I'm Shyla!

Today I’m taking you on a full tour of my 200㎡ self-built house here in rural China, and sharing what it’s really like living alone at 50.

I’ve been wanting to show you around my place for a while, so in this video we’ll walk through every corner together. No fancy setups, no staged shots — just my real home. You’ll see my little courtyard with the vegetable garden, the kitchen where I cook every day, the second floor we redid three years ago, and all the small, plain details that make up my daily life.

I just wanted to share this real, down-to-earth look at solo village life with all of you.
Behind every quiet day at home is just an ordinary person — taking life at her own pace, and still keeping a little warmth in her heart.

Shyla's Chinese life

New video coming soon! Hi everyone, I'm Shyla!
Today's core topic: Borrowed money, unspoken feelings, and the awkward reality of rural life in China.
I’d been overthinking it for days, and finally I worked up the courage to go to my neighbor’s house to ask for the money he owed me.
No fancy scripts, no staged scenes. In this video, I take you along through the whole experience — from the hesitation before knocking on the door, to the awkwardness when we met face to face, to the mixed feelings after we reached an agreement.
Every moment records the real inner life of a 50-year-old woman living in the countryside. You’ll see clearly how much weight “face” and neighborhood bonds carry in rural China, sometimes heavier than the money itself.
This honest, down-to-earth look at ordinary human relationships in the village is what I want to share with you.
Behind every difficult, hesitant conversation lies the quiet struggle of regular people — holding onto kindness while carrying their own troubles in life.

Shyla's Chinese life

New video coming soon! Hi everyone, I'm Shyla!

Today's core topic: 14 common electric vehicles and real daily transportation in rural China.

I spent a whole morning touring local vehicle shops, checking out 14 different EV models of all kinds.

No fancy scripts, no staged scenes. In this video, I take you along to see all the most popular EVs around our village — from two-wheel scooters to cargo tricycles and four-wheel commuter cars.

Every moment records the real daily life of a 50-year-old woman living in the countryside. You'll see clearly how affordable, durable and practical these electric vehicles are for ordinary rural households.

This honest, down-to-earth look at rural transportation life is what I want to share with you.
Behind every convenient trip to the market or errand lies the simple comfort these reliable vehicles bring to ordinary people's lives.
