From mastering chopsticks to becoming a household TV personality, Ukrainian expat Yegor Shyshov has embraced life in China for over 14 years – and he’s not planning to leave anytime soon. 🥢🎙️
In a heartfelt reflection, Shyshov credits China’s ‘fast-paced development’ and the ‘kindness of ordinary people’ as his main reasons for staying. ‘I’ve watched how daily acts of wisdom and hard work shape this country’s future,’ he says, describing China’s progress as a collective ‘beautiful dream.’
Beyond skyscrapers and tech innovations, Shyshov highlights China’s cultural treasures: ‘There’s always a new mountain to hike, a 5,000-year-old legend to uncover, or a mind-blowing new dish to try!’ 🌄🥟
Now married and deeply connected to local communities, he adds: ‘Contributing here feels natural – like being part of something bigger.’ His story reminds us that home isn’t always where you start – sometimes it’s where you choose to grow. 🌱❤️
