The honest truth

What Scares You Most About Moving?

The fear

“I don’t speak Chinese”

The solution

In 15 years I never passed HSK1 — and it doesn’t matter. WeChat/Alipay apps solve 95% of daily tasks. I’ll teach you in 2 days.

The fear

“How do I rent a flat without getting cheated?”

The solution

I go with you to the agent, translate the contract, show you real prices. No hidden fees.

The fear

“Police, banks, SIM cards — too bureaucratic”

The solution

You have 24 hours to register. I walk you through every government office — no queues, no panic.

“A journey of a thousand li begins with a single step.”

— Confucius

Personal branding

My Name Is Alexey. I’ve Lived in China Since 2011.

I came here 15 years ago, not knowing a word of Chinese. I made every mistake possible — overstayed my visa, got cheated by sellers, got lost in bureaucratic dead ends. Now I know China inside out: Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Haikou, Foshan. Today, my wife and I live in Kunming — the city of eternal spring.

I’m not a theorist. I’m a practitioner. I want your move to be a comfortable start, not a stress marathon.

Every mentor in my team is personally trained by me and works under my direct supervision. I take full responsibility for quality.
