In this episode, Aleksei Li shares his story — funny, touching, and in many ways unique. Of Korean descent, he often encounters people mistaking him for Kazakh, and he enjoys playing with this cultural misunderstanding. Aleksei talks about how his love for Kazakh culture, traditions, and cuisine has become a part of his life and family.

A special place in his story is devoted to married life. His wife is Kazakh, and together they have gone through many funny and memorable moments: from their wedding, where Kazakh and Korean traditions intertwined, to family customs involving large feasts and the ritual sacrifice of a ram. Aleksei shares stories of how, for the sake of his beloved, he even took out loans for carpets, and how all of this turns into family legends that are told again and again.

He talks about his daughter, whose name reflects both Kazakh and Korean roots, highlighting the importance of preserving a connection to history and respecting both cultures. Aleksei also reflects on the memory of the 1937 deportation of Koreans to Kazakhstan, expressing gratitude to the Kazakh people for their hospitality and for the opportunity to be part of a shared future.

This episode is not just about the funny stories of family life, but about how love and respect bring different cultures together. With sincerity and self-irony, Aleksei shows that even the most serious topics can be told lightly and with a smile, turning personal experiences into reasons for laughter and reflection.
