In today’s fast-paced life, most of the people run after big salary, luxury life and the glitter of the city. But what if someone leaves all these things and chooses a life of solitude and peace? A Chinese woman has done something similar. He left his luxurious job in Beijing and chose to take up a low-paid job on a deserted island in the middle of the ocean. This story of his is now becoming increasingly viral on social media.
In fact, Yue Li, born in 1980, was previously a senior manager in a large property development company in Beijing. He worked there for almost 20 years. His job had a good salary, high position and urban facilities, but along with it there was also heavy work pressure. According to South China Morning Post (SCMP), he had to travel for work about 300 days a year. Even in Beijing, it took him four hours to commute from home to office every day. This running around had left him mentally and physically exhausted.
now life alone in the middle of the sea
Tired of fatigue and stress, Yue decided to leave everything. He accepted a small job on Dongzhai Island, located in the East China Sea. This island is completely deserted. Some small islands nearby are also uninhabited and the nearest populated area is about 40 kilometers away. Here he gets only 3,000 yuan per month (about 35-40 thousand rupees), which is much less than his old salary. But for them, peace is more important than money.
What is their job?
Yue now works as a quality inspector at a fish feeding base. Talking about their regular tasks, they include checking the fish feeding equipment, recording the water temperature and tides and monitoring the growth of the fish. The work is not easy, but the tranquil environment and natural beauty give them mental peace. She keeps sharing glimpses of her new life on social media. Many people are getting impressed by his lifestyle after seeing his pictures surrounded by sea, sunrise, silence and nature. Some people are even calling it “dream life”.
