40yo, Low-income & In Debt in China 🇨🇳 Back at My Parents' Home | “Your Life is a Mess"

I am JQ. After my career took a downturn, being scammed by old classmates, and losing everything I had built in Shenzhen, I'm now facing the midlife crisis that comes with being 40 — as a low-income earner in debt. Around Chinese New Year, I returned from Guangdong to my parents' home, and I've been staying in this small 5th-tier Chinese city since then. My parents are very worried about me, but there's nothing they can do. I believe they've wanted to say something to me for a long time, and my dad finally spoke up the day I told them I was planning to go back to Guangdong. This video captures an ordinary afternoon and evening of my life at my parents' home: finishing some work at a coffee bar, buying traditional Chinese street food as comfort food, working out on the rooftop, having the city's specialty dinner at a restaurant with my parents, and sharing what I've learned at this stage of life, my thoughts on living, and how I get along with my parents. #chinavlog #china #chinalife #lifestyle #chinesefood #vlog #livinginchina
