    EPISODE 1 | THE BEGINNING

    Every big idea has a starting point.

    ChinaLife started with a simple thought: What if we could recreate the experience of living in China in a virtual world?

    Inspired by the concept of LagosLife, we began exploring how to build something different, something that allows people to experience, connect, interact and create their own stories.

    But turning an idea into reality is a completely different journey.

    This is where our story begins.

    Welcome to the journey of building ChinaLife by Hafrik.

    Hey guys, I think I’ve found something that could actually be helpful for a lot of foreigners living in Shenyang.

    I know there are many people who have different health concerns but sometimes find it difficult to visit Chinese hospitals because of the language barrier. You may not know where to go, how to explain what you’re experiencing, or even how to communicate with the doctors.

    Recently, I visited a Traditional Chinese Medicine hospital in Shenyang, and honestly, my experience was good. I received treatment there and I’m feeling much better now.

    One thing that really stood out to me is that they can communicate in English, which makes the experience much easier for foreigners.

    So we spoke with the team, and we decided to do something a little different.

    This Monday, we’ll be taking a few people with us to experience Traditional Chinese Medicine, including acupuncture, and the checkup/experience will be FREE.

    If you’re in Shenyang and you’ve been curious about Traditional Chinese Medicine, acupuncture, or you simply want to get checked out and learn more about what they offer, this could be a good opportunity.

    📍 Shenyang City
    📅 Monday
    🩺 Traditional Chinese Medicine & Acupuncture
    💰 FREE for selected participants
    🗣️ English communication available

    We’re also going to vlog the experience and show you what it’s actually like.

    If you’re interested, comment “I’M IN” or send Hafrik a DM.

    Limited spots available.
