[Explanation] In Nanning, Guangxi, hair stylist Liu Jia has hiked into the mountains every month since 2015 to haircut children in poor mountainous areas.
In the past five years, Liu Jia has walked almost all of the impoverished mountainous areas from south to north in Guangxi.
[Explanation] Recently, Liu Jia came to Qibainong Township, Dahua Yao Autonomous County, Hechi City, Guangxi, which is remote and narrow and rugged.
Liu Jia said that in the past, the car could only drive to the foot of the mountain, relying on bare hands to carry everything that was brought into the mountain, and the journey required two or three hours.
Now even if the road is open, the whole journey will have to go around hundreds of kilometers around the mountain road to reach it.
Because I have to drive slowly, sometimes I drive from day to night, in the mountains where there are no guardrails and my hands cannot be seen, I feel scared.
[Explanation] Liu Jia said that the first time I went there alone, I cut the children in the mountains for four or five hours. After cutting, I basically got cramps. But when I saw the happy smiling faces of the children, I found the hair band The changes that come have made them more confident and feel that doing these things is very worthwhile.

It’s also simply to cut their hair, change their hairstyles, and slowly play with them, help them change their clothes step by step, help them change from beginning to end, and then discover every change. They are very happy.
[Explanation] Because children in the mountainous areas are busy attending classes on weekdays, they only have time for haircuts on Saturdays and Sundays, and weekends are when the barber shop is busy. Before, Liu Jia was a bit hesitant at first, but later chose to go.
The employees in the store were moved by his true love of children and gave up the prime time of weekend customers to help him enter the mountains together.
[Explanation] Liu Jia told reporters that in addition to getting a haircut, he stays for 2 to 3 days every time he goes into the mountains, cooks for the children and plays games with them.
In addition, he will bring a projector, download many cartoons, or some educational movies and aerial China and other videos, and set up a "small theater" on the flat ground in the mountains to play for the children, hoping to bring them to them While being happy, they can learn more about the outside world.

This time, I also specially downloaded a lot of that aerial China (video) to show them, just to let him know that many places in China are very beautiful, and I hope to bring more outside things to him (we) (up) experience.
[Explanation] Due to the epidemic, Liu Jia closed two shops in Nanning.
Even so, he still hopes that he can persist in doing charity and help more children in need.
