My life in rural China full playlist. This video was filmed with a combination of 2 different cameras, GoPro Hero 11 (selfie/widescreen shots) and Sony ZV1 (pretty much everything else). This camera is the secret to how I get such stable footage even while biking and walking. She's waterproof, shoots in 4K, and is very tiny and portable as well as extremely easy to use. This camera is my B-roll queen, she nails the perfect lighting and focus to get beautiful shots to bring my videos to the next level.

How I got through winter living in a Chinese village! ❄️ 美国人入住中国农村,怎么熬过冬天!

Frozen pipes and mountain water

Katherine describes winter in a rural Chinese village, where reservoir pipes can freeze. When that happens, she can collect fresh spring water from the mountains. A mountain-water connection had originally served her house, but she disconnected that line because the water became muddy when it rained. The video shows the practical work of getting water during cold weather alongside scenes of snow in the village.

The landscape includes snowy mountains and streets that can become slippery. In some places, villagers lay burlap over the roads to improve traction. Katherine still takes evening walks for fresh air and a break from working at home. The walk offers a view of the village and surrounding nature, even in icy conditions.

Home comforts and local winter life

Katherine works remotely from a home office with a view that is sometimes obscured by snow. She contrasts the snowy mountain climate with milder weather in Hangzhou, which rarely sees snow. A train ride and scenes of village nightlife add to the picture of everyday life during winter. The video also shows grandmothers dancing and people gathering around a bonfire.

Traditional ways of staying warm include fires and bowls of hot coals indoors. Katherine also has modern conveniences such as a heat pump and space heaters. She discusses how these options make the season manageable, even with frozen pipes and cold walks. As the video turns toward spring, she looks forward to warmer weather and blossoms. Her experience combines practical challenges with the routines and community scenes she encounters through the winter.
