China woman quits sales job to take up 'drawing messages' on beaches for living

At a time when finding a job and further earning a desired living out of it has become quite difficult with countries facing multiple crises in the wake of inflation and the ongoing COVID-19 situation, a woman in China recently left her job in sales to pick up a unique job of drawing positive messages for people on sandy beaches and is surprisingly earning well from it. Her story has gone viral and left people inspired by her courage to give up on a stable job for an unstable one. The woman, surnamed Feng is from Sanya in China’s Hainan province and is a mother of two. As reported by the Chinese outlet South China Morning Post (SCMP), Feng took up the job after getting inspired by someone who left a similar artwork on the sand. While the job is an unusual one for her, it brought her a ‘respectable’ living, Feng said as reported by SCMP. She also added that there is no lack of sand for her to work on her new job as she is from a tourist area in southern China.
