Overview

Cheng, 45, a restaurant owner from China, has travelled with his young son halfway around the world to a remote village in Finland.

It’s the most remote place Cheng can imagine with endless forests, thousands of lakes, a country with entire population of one-fifth of Cheng’s home town, Shanghai.
