German designer Chris is passionate about cycling. In early 2017, he and his friends went on a bike trip to Qingshan village in Hangzhou's Yuhang district, where he was amazed with the countryside scenery.

Chris later helped the village transform an old cultural auditorium into a modern library with his friends, and in May 2019, his family moved to Qingshan village.

The nature and culture of rural Zhejiang inspired Chris, and his attitude toward life is influencing village dwellers as well.
