I talk a lot about China, but I’ve never really shown where I come from. In this video I take you back to my life in South Africa, living in the bush, surrounded by nature and animals. When you see this, you’ll understand why China shocked me so much and why it continues to amaze me. This place shaped who I am — and China changed how I see the world. Coming from here, the infrastructure, the cities, the speed, and even the cars in China felt completely unreal to me.
Lizzy now takes us behind the scenes of her origin, stepping away from endless chatter about China to show where she comes from. The video returns to South Africa, to the bush, where she grew up surrounded by nature and wildlife. By juxtaposing that wild, slow rhythm with the rapid, neon-slick worlds she encounters in China, she reveals why the country both shocked and continually awed her. This contrast isn’t just about scenery; it’s about identity. The African landscape forged her perspective, and China reshaped how she sees the world, from infrastructure and speed to the cars and urban pulse. It’s a voyage from home to a foreign megacity that makes everything feel unreal, and in sharing it, she invites the viewer to reexamine what counts as awe and familiarity.

She reflects on how being away from her Chinese language practice makes her realize the importance of maintaining it, even while on holiday with family.
