She is Qiao Sang, an online ** producer from Shijiazhuang. She used to be a shopaholic, very fashion-conscious and luxury-seeking, often traveling and spending, but instead of feeling true happiness, she fell into anxiety and emptiness. In the process of moving, she realized that she had too many things she didn't need, so she began a "disconnection" operation, cleaning and disposing of a large number of her clothes, bags, cosmetics and other items, leaving only the most basic daily necessities. Her house is also only decorated with large white walls, without any decorations and TV background walls, only a table, a chair, a wardrobe, a refrigerator, a washing machine and a robot vacuum. She didn't even have a bed, just a mattress on the floor, and slept like this for more than two years.

Jossan's lifestyle is not only reflected in the home, but also in the diet. She began to obtain food in exchange for resources to minimize her needs. She "picks" wilted vegetables in the vegetable market and exchanges her belongings for daily necessities with others. She also often goes to her friends' houses to eat and drink, or to take away their surplus food. Her monthly consumption was controlled at about 400 yuan, which was almost 190,000 yuan less than in the past. Her lifestyle has become simpler, her desire for material things has diminished, and she has focused more on self-improvement and inner peace.
