    In the heat of the moment(s), you made all the right decisions: revenge wouldn:t have allowed you a _shiner_ Merry Xmas 😅 Glad you survived to tell the tale, and a Happy New Year 🎉

    I love the way you tell the story! Very good audio, perfect. Yes China was crazy sometimes. I remember seeing a few bad fights in Changsha these days after night BBQ. Once I saw a Chinese guy throw a cooking knife. It was a miracle no one got hurt badly.

      Thank you Georges! Great to see you here! Yes, sometimes things get crazy in China, especially late nights after beer (and usually BBQ as well)...

    Your story reminds me of an incident that happened in Tangshan.This incident was actually very sensational at the time. Three girls were having late-night snacks at a barbecue restaurant when several hooligans tried to harass them. One of the girls resisted strongly and ended up with serious injuries. It’s such a terrible incident, and it makes me feel that when some Chinese people claim China is the safest country in the world, it’s nothing but a joke.(By the way I am a Chinese)

      Oh yeah - that Tangshan story was BRUTAL. I remember that. And that's only a story that we heard of! Most of these stories get hidden so we never even hear about them! I've seen something worse in China than what happened in Tangshan, with my own eyes. I'll save that story for another day though!

    Merry Christmas, Mr. Chopsticks! Thank you for the unexpected present.
    Sounds like while you weren’t in mob, you were adjacent to the mob. Also, I thought you had a strong voice. Let us know if you’ll ever compete on the Voice.

      Thanks! Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones as well! Yeah, I know a lotta people, or well, I did. These days I keep a VERY small circle. China ain't what it once was...
      And please note that I said I love to sing, but I never claimed to be all that good at it! LOL Stay blessed my friend!

    in China it's easy:
    1. camera, 2. hospital (evidence), 3. police, 4. find them.
    and get cash in court.

      No worries my brother! That's just part of the 'life experience'! Also, late nights and drinking make trouble 10x more likely - and I have had a proclivity for such things, so it's to be expected (in any country) I suppose! 圣诞快乐啊!🎅🏻

    Great video and a interesting take from you on a past event and telling this story that had happened to you (an unfortunate one).
    That is certtainly not the best gift (not the right word, but i don't know what to add there) or experience for christmas.
    There is always sometime where anyone (i mean literally anyone) will encounter and get into unforunate events and having unpleasant memories or something happening to them in another country, the thing is anyone will encounter and facing challenges and unfortunate times in their lives which is totally normal. This is clearly not something anyone wants to experience, and will be the worst ones (for obvious reasons).
    Glad you surivived the whole ordeal.I am glad you are still in one piece after this whole thing happened (apologies if not the best sounding)
    Maybe next time if same thing happened, safe the evidence (the bruces etc), go to hospital to get a check plus report on injury you received, report to the Police and show both the evidence and the injury report given by the hopsital to the Police. Doing all of this will for sure give these people some punishment for their actions.
    Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, wish you all the best ahead in 2025 in everything and this includes vlogging 🎄(coming from someone who doesn't celebrate christmas but finds it interesting)!

    Not impressed to let them go unpunished because they are encouraged to repeat the same to someone else.
