Lisa is Bulgarian. After marrying into rural China, her videos document the daily life of a "foreign daughter-in-law".
She learns farmhouse cooking from her mother-in-law, local dialect from neighbors, and follows the seasons planting and harvesting. Her real, grounded life shows a vivid example of an international marriage integrating into the countryside.
Lisa especially loves capturing family warmth: meals with her in-laws, taking the kids to market, big family reunions at festivals. Chinese family values, she says, resemble her own.
Rural Bulgaria and rural China both value family and kinship, she says. From Sofia to the Chinese countryside, she found the same warmth.
