An increasing number of Chinese youths fed up with the pressures and values of urban life are moving to China's vast countryside and transforming it in their own ways.
Made this change myself a few years ago. Moving to an active job actually works really well for me because it forces me to exercise daily AND I can just listen to theory podcasts all day while working and nobody will care so long as I’m getting my work done. At the cost of a few thousand less per year in income, I gained probably years of increased health long term. Plus, it comes with a pension plan, so if the entire system doesn’t collapse before I retire, I have that to look forward to.
