He is the company only three sheep.
It would seem, how could a man exist without communication and society other people? Chinese Liu Shenjia proved by experience that it is more than possible. For ten years he lives in an abandoned village Kansanshi in Gansu province in North-East China. Business, cultural, living with him only three sheep, about which he cares.
At one time there were more than 20 families. However, the lack of natural resources forced people to look for a new home. In the village there are only old people. Liu also had to stay in order to take care of their old mother and younger brother. Alas, a year later, they died and Liu was left alone. His neighbors also gradually died.
Over time, Liu was the only resident of the village. He was used to his solitude and finds many advantages. “To survive here — not a problem for me, but I’m still thinking about making the move to a more public place, when the right time comes,” he says.
