  • EPISODE 2 | BUILT IN LESS THAN A WEEK!

    What happens when an idea meets determination?

    We went from an idea to launching the first version of ChinaLife in less than a week.

    But building it was only the beginning. There was a lot more to learn.

    The journey continues.

  • WHAT IS YOUR GREATEST REGRET IN CHINA?

    Living in China comes with experiences you never planned for, lessons you never expected, and decisions that shape who you become.

    In this conversation, I opened up about my personal journey, the realities of living in China, and some of the experiences that have shaped my life here.

    One question stood out: What is your greatest regret since coming to China?

    My answer might surprise you.

    Watch the full conversation on YouTube. Link in bio.

    What about you? If you’ve lived in China, what’s one thing you wish you had done differently?

  • 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.
