Mai Jia accompanied Ni Ping back to his hometown of Fuyang, Zhejiang Province, on January 10th, initiating an immersive live stream titled "Breathing Amidst the Mountains and Waters." The two strolled along the Fuchun River, with Mai Jia describing Fuyang as "the best training ground for artists," while Ni Ping reflected that "the Fuchun River is as vast as the sea, and the people are as gentle as water."

They sampled local delicacies such as Longmen oil gluten and "gold ingot" deep-fried mantou buns, and explored the Fuchun Mountain Residence Life Season market, where they were captivated by cultural creations like traditional Yuanshu paper and limited-edition coffee. That evening, Mai Jia and Ni Ping held a "2026 Hometown New Year Dialogue," sharing warm and steadfast stories of inspiration.

This journey to his hometown once again brought Fuyang's picturesque landscapes and vibrant local life into the spotlight.
