I watched some of the
American Western movies.
And also I had a experience
to be living in the States
with the host family.
The taste and the style and the
colors are pretty much similar.
So it's really
recall all my memory.
Everyday actually we would
like to have more happier life.
But somehow, it was lost.
I really feel this
is my dream place.
And I will seriously think
about purchase a house here.
I want this to be
part of my life.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
[HORNS HONKING]
Thanks, and please also spread
the words to your team members.
Thank you, bye.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Because my hubby is
on a business trip.
So I don't want to
cook all by myself.
So normally I buy some of the
fast food and eat on the way.
[RAIN POUNDING]
Take my home country road.
[MUSIC - JOHN DENVER,
"TAKE ME HOME,
[COUNTRY ROAD"] Country roads
take me home to the place I
belong.
Finally, I'm home.
[MUSIC - MARIAH CAREY,
"FANTASY"] lookin' fine I get
kinda hectic inside.
Baby, I'm so into you.
Darlin' if you only knew all the
things that go through my mind.
But it's just a sweet,
sweet fantasy baby.
[VACUUM HUMMING]
33 awesome tricks on how
to clean and organize
your whole house in
less than two weeks.
Yeah, in the Bible,
it said, love
are husband as how we love God.
Cleaning.. make sure
the house is spotless.
Spotless, that's really
a very high level.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
In China, so many appellates
to their currency.
They're taking our jobs.
They're taking
our manufacturing.
They're destroying us.
It's unfriendly,
quite unfriendly.
OK, recipe for success.
My husband ever said that I got
improvement for the cooking.
Not every day nor every
week, but each year.
I think, at least, I need to
get some of the improvement
each month.
Actually, tonight, we
may have a cooking party.
I'm gonna cook what
we call a Multi Meal.
It's kind of like Shepherd pie,
but with my like little kick.
And it's just corn, ground beef,
butter, milk, mashed potatoes.
It ain't got to be perfect.
I tell people this all the time.
Today, I'm going
to be showing you
how to make Fruit Loop treats.
The ingredients
for this recipe are
eight cups of Fruit
Loop cereal, one package
of mini marshmallows, and
one fourth cup of butter.
[FOOTSTEPS]
[MUSIC PLAYING]
[CHEERING]
Tonight we will have a party.
And I prepared
some of the stuffs
for American snacks and dishes.
Yeah, one of the simple, easy
cooking and a tasty dish.
Or I should say, snacks.
It's Jell-O. But this
time, the Jell-O, it
will be a little bit different
from the normal fruity one.
We will add some of the seafood.
The tuna, we put into the Jello.
It will make a very special
combination of taste.
The next famous
dish is Fruit Loop.
But since I did not find
Fruit Loop in China,
so I use alternative one
named Tootie Fruitie.
[DING]
Oh, no, it's too small.
The plate is too small.
Oh, no.
OK, it's fine.
It's fine.
Mm, it smells so good.
A lot better than just..
And this one, we
need to make sure
that we make it pretty fast.
Uh, let me see where I put it.
Should be fine.
This goes there.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
[CHEERING]
This little boy is
really enjoy the cook
will be a very nice husband
in his future family.
Probably, I should put a
pack of the Jell-O. Mm.
It's really good.
Compared with
Beijing, Jackson Hole
is like a holy land
and a clean world that
comes with a cool
environment as well
as a friendly relationship among
people, among the neighborhood.
And also, it each time
when we live here,
we feel that we
could put it aside
for all the pressures
during the week
and completely be relaxed here.
So living here in Jackson
Hole, it's like a escape.
OK, now is the time of leaving.
I will see my house next week.
Bye house.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
I will sell this house today.
The ad said this
pool was lagoon-like.
There's nothing
lagoon-like about it.
Except for maybe the bugs.
There aren't even
any plants out here.
Shut up!
Stop it, you weak, you baby.
Shut up!
Shut up!
[CHEERING AND APPLAUSE]
Well, why don't we
go into the kitchen?
It's a dream come
true for any cook.
Just filled with
positive energy, huh?
There aren't even
any plants out here.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
[HORN HONKING]
Just tell her her
husband stopped by.
Her what?
Aah!
[MUSIC PLAYING]
I'm just driving back
home from my office.
And it's kind of far
because it normally takes me
1.5 hours or even longer.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Why this lady has no husband?
All the time, is she herself.
My husband is in
the business trip.
So I ordered some stuff
to organize my apartment.
I will clean them
up because I will
have a friend visit tonight.
This is the air
condition filter.
It's very rare to see people
use it in Jackson Hole
because the air condition
is pretty good there.
And we definitely
do not need it.

[DOOR SLAMMING]
Thank god it's Friday.
I will finish my work soon.
And then, yeah, tonight I will..
I just can't waiting to
jump to Jackson Hole.
My husband is in
his business trip.
And my car was broken down.
So I have to take public
transportation to Jackson Hole.
Oh, it's huge.
It's very dangerous
for my neighbors who
is sitting around me because
I'm always being kind of carsick
and probably will throw up.
But I'm really hungry.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
[FOOTSTEPS]
I decided to believe
in God in December 19,
of 2013, when I was
studying in the US.
And all the foreign
international students
are invited into
the Bible study.
I think, not only
myself, everybody
may get some of the
difficulties in the daily life.
But someone may lose hope
or decided to give up.
And what the Bible teaches
me is never give up.
[KIDS PLAYING AND DOG BARKING]
Each time, when I
live in Jackson Hole
and start my life here,
I feel completely freedom
from my soul.
So sometimes I call it
the homeland for my soul.
Right now, I think the key
issue for the people who
live in the city is many
things are out of our control.
Here, in Jackson Hole,
life is under control.
It is a normal,
common life in the US
that people live in the
house and come with a garden.
But this is almost
impossible in China,
especially when people have
to be live in the city area.
So here it gives
people a space that we
could own a single house,
which comes with a yard.
This is the basic foundation.
And other than this..
Above than this..
The house style is
also very attractive.
Many of our people like
the movie of American West.
And also, we respect the spirit
of American Western people,
which we call it in Chinese..
We call it [SPEAKING CHINESE]
which like, in the English,
it called, like,
people has a spirit
to develop the wild area.
I will go to meet a group
of people this morning.
And we will discuss
how we going to shoot
a short film in Jackson Hole
[FOOTSTEPS]
[MUSIC PLAYING]
[CHILDREN LAUGHING AND YELLING]
It's really nice book.
My husband's really busy.
And I need to..
I should take care of him.
And there many things I
really do not do well.
And also, in the Bible, it said,
a good performance of a wife
can change the mind
of a husband and make
them turn to believe in God.
So right now, I
think I'm just trying
to have my life in the way
that's really God would like
and not, I myself, would like.

I will have a
beautiful sky tonight
because many, many of the stars.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
I love the ending in the
church, and with the kid
is actually one of my dreams.
And this will make
people feel more
like a full version family.
I love it.
Seems to enter into the
gates lead to the heaven.
The ending is my dream.
Did not come true.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
[SNIFFLING]
I missed one of
the key milestone
part of my life, which
is to have a child.
But my husband did
not want a child.
It becomes a major
regret in my family.
And we experienced a
tough time for this topic.
Almost all the topic I could
link to why we cannot have
a child.
So this is really not
an appropriate life.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
[MUSIC PLAYING]
The Everything Family
Christmas Book,
it comes with stories, songs,
recipes, crafts, traditions,
and more.
It comes with 465 recipes.
It's really nice.
And as a housewife, I have
lots of things to learn.
It's exciting.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
I'm pretty sure all my
neighbors who live here,
and choose to be living here, do
love the American-style houses.
But some of them, when
they decorate their yard
they still choose some of
the Chinese characters..
Decoration.. or
construction, we say,
like this Chinese pavilion.
Personally, I don't like
them because really,
doesn't make sense
and looks weird, too,
against the American Western
style of this community.
In this community, we have
a hard discussion and almost
a kind of argument
from our neighbors,
for those who have read a
article from a foreigner.
I'm not quite interested
in this kind of argument.
I think the media
has this freedom
to report from
their own thoughts
and to express their own view.
It's OK.
But for me, I know why I'm here.
It's just to pursue
my peaceful life
and to be a good and
better housewife.
Yeah, we'll make a
cake to my husband
that he got a
lower leg fracture.
And it's a really
boring life for him.
The color of the cake recalls
my memory of the Arches National
Park in Utah.
My dream, the way of working,
is to be living in Jackson Hole
full time.
And instead of a weekend
house, we could have our own..
Plant our own vegetables and
be a real gardener of our yard.
And also, in the weekend, we
could go to church together.
And probably, because
it's pretty close
and it will be a lot easier
for my husband to be there,
I could invite him again and
again and again until he would
like to go together with me.
And hopefully, someday, he
could also get baptized.
Ooh, oh, it smells so good.
Mix about half a pack of it.
Oh, see, love the color.
Wow, the blue color
is really strong.
I did not see it made it purple.
But looks like the
necklace of Rose
in Titanic, the
heart of the ocean.
Put some of the
marshmallow on top of it.
This really looks bad.
Good thing is it's
still a heart.
It's handmade anyway.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
I'm on the way to the
hospital and see the doctor.
Due to the air pollution, I
actually got very allergic
last week and
earlier of this week.
Luckily that this
weekend we are together.
And my husband is washing his
car outside of the garage.
I'm cooking dinner for him..
For us.
I think we're done.
I will call him for
dinner, as a housewife.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
[RAIN FALLING]
[THUNDERING]
