How My Dad Raised 4 Kids on Just $50 a Month (The Real Cost of Survival) 🇨🇳

#shenzhen #chinalife #china What does it really cost to build a life in China? Today, I follow my dad to a local wet market in Shenzhen, buy groceries with him, and watch him cook a simple meal for our family. But behind this ordinary meal is a much bigger story — a rural childhood, a low starting point, years of work in Shenzhen, four children, one home, and the quiet kind of love many Chinese fathers never say out loud. This is not just a cooking video. It’s my father’s story, and maybe the story of many ordinary Chinese families.
