Very interesting, I can see the appeal. It looks beautiful there, and calm. I wouldn't understand life in China, but even in my little rural town and our little hospital clinic, life can get very stressful and you're always hooked into it. I spend usually somewhere between 9-12 hours a day dealing with patients, and then come home and usually my phone still hooks my into the hospital, and if it doesn't, several people in my apartment complex are patients, and have knocked on my door asking for refills. I'm not even a clinician! I could understand the urge to just drop everything and flee to the country. Surely everyone has wanted to at some point. Interesting to see people actually do it for more than a weekend away.
