Chen Family Journal

Hi, I’m Athena.

Welcome to Chen Family Journal, a visual record of one ordinary family’s real life in rural China.

My mom films the everyday moments around her—cooking after work, sharing family meals, visiting local markets, spending time with Grandma and relatives, and taking care of the responsibilities that hold a family together. I carefully edit the footage and add narration to share the stories behind these ordinary days.

Life is not always easy. Work can be tiring, money can be tight, and aging and retirement bring real concerns. But there are also peaceful routines, familiar meals, laughter, family gatherings, and the comfort of being together.

This channel is not staged, and one family cannot represent everyone in China. It simply follows the Chen family as life unfolds—one meal, one moment, and one day at a time.

Subscribe to follow real family life in rural China.
Your support truly means a lot to my family, especially to my mom.

Have a wonderful day !!!
