50 Years in Solitude in China: 'Loneliness is Not a Problem'

For 50 years, Yang has lived in a hermitage just 300 meters from civilization in the Lichuan Mountains of China. He resides in a cave, having secured his own water and electricity, maintaining a self-sufficient life away from the rest of the world.

His home, built at the mouth of a cave, is invisible from the road. For many, it is a forgotten hut, while for others, a legendary hermit's refuge hidden in the forest.
