According to SCMP, Lin has to wake up at 5 am and leave his house in Weifang, Shandong province in eastern China at 5.20 am every day. While riding an electric bike, Lin heads to the train station, which takes about 30 minutes, to go to Qingdao in eastern Shandong at 7.46 am. He continues his journey by taking the subway for 15 minutes to his office.

Warganet was surprised by the time he spent traveling. However, Lin said it was all worth it because of love. Lin had been in a relationship for seven years before they got married in May. His wife is from Weifang in the Shandong province, and the couple bought a flat there so that he could have a sense of security.

The previous line lived in a rented flat that was an hour away from his workplace. However, he wanted to spend more time with his wife. Moreover, the cost for a flat in Qingdao is more expensive. Lin works at Haier, a Chinese household equipment company, which has a good reputation. An observer calculated that Lin's travel expenses are around 1,600 yuan or equivalent to Rp3.5 million per month.

However, Lin said that his journey is only temporary because his wife is looking for a job in Qingdao, and they plan to settle there if his wife is successful. Lin also said that he doesn't find the back and forth travel too troublesome, thanks to the convenience of intercity transportation.

"The manager of the place where Lin works also did not expect him to work overtime, considering his situation. Lin's story finally attracted 7 million views on Douyin. "Six hours a day. He must really love his wife," said one netizen."
