Chinese man abandons city life for cave dwelling, sparks debate on societal norms

A 35-year-old Chinese man deems marriage and work useless and lives in a cave instead. Min Hengcai, originally from China’s Sichuan province, was working as a ride-hailing driver, often for 10 hours a day, to repay family debts. However, he found this existence unfulfilling and, in 2021, made the drastic decision to seek a life of seclusion away from the pressures of city living, as reported by the South China Morning Post.
