35-Year-Old Man Quits Job And Starts Living In Cave As 'Probability Of Finding True Love Is Very Low'
Min Hengcai, from Sichuan province, gave up his job as a ride-hailing driver in 2021. Though he once made around $1,400 a month, he felt work was pointless and stressful. His feelings intensified especially after working long hours to pay off family debts.
He still owes $42,000 but says he's done trying to repay it, especially since his relatives sold his property. He traded his land for a smaller piece with a nearby cave and spent $6,000 fixing it up as his new home.

Min calls the cave the“Black Hole”, which he says is his whole universe and a reminder of how small he is in the world.
His cave life sparked major buzz online. He shares his simple lifestyle online, with 40,000 followers.
