While she appears to have started the series herself, it's been covered by Xhihua and promoted by the Party. So it does have propaganda aspects.
Her work has scary aspects. The electrical wiring is unsafe. An uncovered knife switch for 220V? No fuses or circuit breakers? Ordinary wire out in the open, not nonmetallic armored?

Other absurdities are when the pool is filled with thousands of gallons of water, one bucket trip at a time.
