In the depths of the bustling city, a puzzling mystery lurks. Josan is an ordinary name, but he has an unusual way of life.
Qiao San's home is located in a very expensive neighborhood in the center of the city, with an area of 88 square meters, but it is shocking that there are only six pieces of furniture in this home. Her life philosophy is "renunciation" and her perennial insistence on "no consumption", which is particularly abrupt in the materialistic city.
Why did she choose this lifestyle? How did she manage to stay true to her beliefs in the bustling city? Let's follow in the footsteps of Josan and explore this mystery hidden in the bustling city.
Qiao San, an ordinary girl, has a different concept of life. After graduating from university, she worked for a well-known company and earned a good income.
However, with the abundance of material things, her heart became more and more empty. As things piled up at home, she found herself stuck in a shopping quagmire.
She began to think, is this kind of life really what she wants?
During an exchange with a friend, Qiao San came into contact with the concept of "breaking away". She realizes that material things don't bring her true happiness, and that a simple lifestyle may help her find inner peace.
So, she decided to start practicing "renunciation", reducing material pursuits and returning to the essence of life.
Josan starts by tidying up your home. She scrutinizes every item in her home and asks herself, "Do I really need it?" She decisively discarded items that she no longer needed or needed.
In the process, she discovers that she has many things that she no longer needs, which occupy her space and also occupy her heart.
Although the area of Qiao San's house is only 88 square meters, she takes care of it in an orderly manner. She makes clever use of space and arranges every corner of her home just right.
Her bed is one of her most cherished pieces of furniture, as it is not only a place for her to rest, but also a corner for her to think about life. Her desk is where she works and studies, with some necessary books and stationery on it.
As the home was organized, Qiao San's life began to change. She began to focus more on her own needs rather than blindly pursuing material abundance.
She learned to cherish what she had instead of blindly chasing more. She found herself starting to become happier and more content.
Although Qiao San's home is simple, every corner is full of life. She carefully arranges every corner so that they exude warmth and comfort. Her home is like a small world, full of her love and pursuit of life.
Qiao San's concept of "no consumption" does not mean that she does not spend money at all, but that she consumes more rationally and only buys what she really needs.
She believes that too much consumption can make people lose their way and forget the essence of life. As a result, she learned to find a balance between the material and the spiritual to make her life more fulfilling and meaningful.
Qiao San's concept of "non-consumption" is reflected in her daily life. She rarely buys new clothes and shoes, preferring to wear old or second-hand clothes. She also does not go to high-end restaurants to eat, but chooses to go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables and cook by herself.
She doesn't even buy makeup and skincare products, choosing instead to take care of her skin in a natural way. These seemingly small changes have made her life simpler and more pure.
Qiao San's concept of "non-consumption" has also received wide attention and recognition from the society. Many people are attracted to her lifestyle and begin to reflect on their consumption behavior.
Qiao San quickly attracted the attention of CCTV by sharing her life changes on the Internet every day, and she was invited to participate in the recording of the program "Subtraction of Life".
In the program, she shared her life philosophy and experience, so that more people can understand the charm and power of minimalist life.
CCTV's focus has spread Qiao Sang's story all over the country, and her lifestyle has also attracted more attention and discussion.
People begin to think about their own way of life and values, and try to enrich their spiritual world by reducing material pursuits and possessions.
Jossan's minimalist living has become a new lifestyle and trend, leading people towards a healthier and more sustainable future.
However, Jossan's minimalist life is not understood by everyone, especially her mother. The mother saw that her daughter's home had almost no furniture and items and feared that her life would be too hard and monotonous.
She couldn't understand why her daughter would give up material abundance and comfort to choose such a simple lifestyle.
Josan tries to explain her choices and values to her mother, but her mother still has a hard time accepting it.
Qiao San even introduced on the show that her mother was worried and incomprehensible about herself, she was worried that her daughter's life was too hard, and even shed tears because of it.
Later, under Qiao San's patient explanation and guidance, her mother gradually understood her lifestyle and pursuits. She saw her daughter's inner satisfaction and happiness, and also felt the comfort and ease brought by a minimalist life.
Josan's mother ultimately decided to support her daughter's lifestyle, and she encouraged her daughter to stick to her choices and pursue inner happiness and fulfillment. She also began to try to reduce material pursuits and possessions, and make her life simpler and purer.
The support and companionship of her family made Qiao San more determined in her choice, and also made her feel more happy and satisfied.
Today, Josan has become a representative of a minimalist life. She not only practices minimalism in her own life, but also actively promotes and inherits this lifestyle.
Through social media, public welfare activities, etc., she promotes the concept and method of minimalist life to more people, so that more people can understand and accept this lifestyle.
In the future, Qiao San will continue to adhere to and inherit the concept of minimalist life. She believes that inner abundance and fulfillment can only be achieved by reducing material pursuits and possessions.
