Why I moved to Zhengzhou China?
In 2018, I decided to move to China. The Good, the Bad, and the 'in between' have all made this experience life-changing. Many lessons have been learned and I've spent the last four years curating some impactful content... something for everyone!!!

As promised, here are 2 reputable job sites for opportunities in China. I'll be doing a 'How to get hired" video explaining in detail how to land the best jobs and 'need to ask' questions for interviews
hiredchina

I've done at least 50 legit interviews (I'm a bit picky when it comes to jobs hahaha), but jobs listed on these sites present great opportunities for you to take your next step toward working in China

China is indeed a great country and China is the future 🇨🇳💪
I agree 100% Thanks for watching... and if you have any questions, let me know 🙏💫
Great first video. Subscribed! We need more expats like you to talk about what life in China looks like!
Thanks for watching and your support. I will continue to do my best 👌
Thank you so much for your video and informations about China ! I will go to visit China. I watch your video from Canada 😁👍🏽
Thanks for watching 💫 Borders are open, everyone is working hard to get back to normal, so keep an eye out for the latest travel updates
Your first video is so professional 👏
Thanks Jacky ✨️
Hey Ashley, thank you for bringing me memories of Zhengzhou! I was there in 2009 teaching or conversing privately with Uni students. I still talk about it here in Sydney Australia. Have you seen the park with carved tree branches that resemble humans or animals? And what about Hanan museum it must have more in there now (over 5000 year history!). It looks great at night with the yellow lighting. I was the first foreigner that my student, (who had just graduated as a tour guide) showed me around. I'm nearing 70 now. I subscribed of course. P S check out Zhengzhou University, that must have grown...gotta stop or I'll be writing a whole essay.
Awww... thanks for this, really pushes me to create more. I didn't actually go to that park. When I asked about it, some locals said it needed upgrading or itay have closed officially unfortunately. The city grew a lot in the 3+ years I stayed there. Really made it my home and often return for visits. Living in another province now but ZZ feels like my second home (aside from my home country)... lovely people. Thanks so much for sharing and subscribing. Means a lot! China is open again, you should return for a visit 🙏
First to comment. Awesome first video Ashley, I'm looking forward to seeing more of your videos.
Thanks Emmanuel, I appreciate it 🙏
China is amazing and super safe. I miss it so much!
It's opening up, you should consider making your return 🙏
Enjoyed your video and reels. keep them coming girl! Fellow Jamaican and Fellow Wolmerian #Proud
Thank you so much!! #AgeQuodAgis ❤💛
Thanks for showing Zhengzhou. My wife is from there and we hope to go back soon.
Happy to share my second home with everyone :) You should! I try to return as often as possible as I'm in another province at the moment. Thanks for watching. See you in the next one!
Them playing 'By the river of Babylon' gets me everytime😂
I know right!! I was just in the park minding my own business and heard them start playing it.. I'm like whhaaatt
Congratulations Ashley and thanks for sharing with us😀
Thanks so much Joao!

Just subbed from Myanmar, you could be the first foreigner UA-camr from Zhengzhou. I heard that one of the biggest Foxconn iphone factories is located in Zhengzhou. I'll be waiting for your coming new videos .. 😊😊😊
Thank you for subscribing and I'm happy to share. I actually worked with a few engineers there too so yes, that's where one of the largest factories is located
Great sharing.
Thank you! Cheers!
very informative video. Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
indeed it was, I had been in Beijing china for 5 years from 2015 to 2020. planning to come again so I needed some information which I got from your video so thank you again. @@theblackasianja5371

I'm very glad that you're doing this. As someone who is planning to TEFL in China over the next few months, I see Zhengzhou often gets overlooked, or experiences quite a few negative comments compared to other places (often described as just an industrial, factory city). It's refreshing to see someone living there who actually has something positive to say!
I have been inclined towards Henan, myself. It's the place where China historically began, and has had a prominent role throughout Chinese history. I've read about Zhengzhou's extensive rail connections to the rest of China. I read an English translation of Romance of the Three Kingdoms during my teenage years (after I got hooked on Koei's "Dynasty Warriors" series), and I've said to myself that one day I'm going to have to visit the capital of that time (Luoyang, also in Henan province) for myself, as well as nearby Xi'an (formerly Chang'an).
DEFINITELY!!! Most expats who go there never take the time to explore or they just don't know where to go. As I mentioned in the video, I owe all my knowledge to my boss Bo Yuan, her husband and my best friend Lindy, all Zhengzhou locals who really showed me around and made the experience enjoyable. Luoyang and Kaifeng are MUST Visits in China... TEFL in ZZ is a central spot to be and once you find your city legs, exploring is easy. Most people don't even know there is a huge theme park there with world class rides... talk about a hidden gem. I'll do another video soon about fun things to do in ZZ. Thanks so much for watching and subscribing.. see you in the next one 🙌
Little human is here to say Hi, professional vloger Ash~
My tiny human... love you loads 💗
Hi Lindy and Ash
Hi. 😄
@@oracleman2390 Helllooo 💫
@@oracleman2390 thanks for watching 🙏
Yaaaaas gurl!!!
Thanks for the support girlio, means a lot
I wish I could go play ping pong in the park without having to worry about being shot 😅
Sigh, sad reality it places where it just doesn't need to be
I teach at SIAS University just south of ZZ. We have a teacher here from Jamaica also.
Awesome 👍
So cool! I started my kung Fu journey and daoist journey and really want to get to China so bad currently in Virginia where I found my kung Fu family but I still want to get out there fr
Truly an amazing experience. Been to Shaolin Temple twice and I'm definitely going again. Tons to check out in and around Zhengzhou as it relates to Kung-fu.. so definitely worth the trip for you. Hope you get the opportunity soon... I'll also be posting a video about the temple ... stay tuned and thanks for watching! 💫
Want to know your story too , myself I have stayed here in for 10 years now, I love the country and there is a lot to do in China
Yea, it's been great. I'm in my 5th year. I'll be sharing more in the future. Thanks for watching 💫
💕
Thanks so much for watching
Please share your videos with BBC, NBC, ABC, CNN...
That's a great idea 💡 👍
@@theblackasianja5371 In an ideal world it would be a great idea, however, unfortunately those corporate msm are not paid to show positive content about China. Glad you've settled well in China tho and enjoying your stay. Every country has good & bad, what's important is being objective & understanding how the system works to see if one can adapt. Looking forward to seeing your videos sharing your experiences. Subscribed 😇
感谢您的分享，不过外国人居住在河南的好像很少☺👍👍👍
Thanks for watching. Yes, I rarely meet foreigners who have heard about this province...but it's a great place to be if anyone's wants to experience a rich blend of traditional and modern China
Hope you enjoy your stay in China
Thank you, I've definitely been enjoying it so far 💫
还欢迎 它把地图上台湾省去掉了
要卡看这些老外的内心就从地图上找
@@theblackasianja5371 台湾省被你吃掉了？
你住在中国🇨🇳
还把台湾省从地图上删除了
你是用心险恶还是故意为之 或者是不在乎中国是否拥有台湾省
Okay hey… im tryna move to Zhengzhou from Shenyang to kinda start afresh.. and i have never left Shenyang before it’s kinda bothering.. what do you think
It depends on the lifestyle change you're looking for. In my opinion, Zhengzhou is great for people who would like to reconnect with themselves or settle with a family. There are tons of green spaces, options to explore authentic Chinese culture in and around Zhengzhou, especially in Kaifeng and Luoyang.. if you're a foodie.. lots to try.. you can also connect with some of the expats there to make things easier. It is also a cheaper place to live than most big cities, so you can save a lot... so it all depends on what your goal is for the next year or 2
Would love too ask a few questions as my family and I are moving to Zhengzhou
Yes, certainly... I'd be happy to share
@@theblackasianja5371 Thanks for your reply, Have you got some tips for our move to Zhengzhou?
@@shaunbrickman7280 Hey, sure.
Do a thorough apartment hunt. Depending on the area, some apartments are way better than others. Some also have better play areas for kids or gym & pool... some also don't have adequate heating and Zhengzhou can get down to -18°C in winter which is usually around end of February- March... so make sure you get some details about these. If you're moving to Jinshui district, best place to start exploring the city is from Grand Emporium Mall... lots to see and do around that area. Zax BBQ is where all the expats go so you can get to know more foreigners from there. You can type it into the taxi app 'DiDi' if you're not in China... any other specific questions.. feel free to ask
@@theblackasianja5371 thanks, accommodation is already provided in the New District and should be there by the middle of the year. Thanks again. hopefully, when you have time you could do some more videos on Zhengzhou. Keep up the great work.
@@shaunbrickman7280 You're most welcome... videos are coming 💫 and thanks for your support 🙏
I live in Hebei❤
What is your take on training centers in your town.
Zhengzhou has high standards when it comes to training centers. Foreign teachers working in Training centers in this city always almost always speak about the good treatment of staff, low turnover rate, well behaved kids and good working conditions. Salary however is relatively low when compared to other cities in China, but cost of living in Zhengzhou is also relatively low. With all this is mind, applying to Training Centers now in any city is a gamble because of the new education policies that are causing these schools to close down. Follow @ExpatFocus on Instagram for more articles on these and other related topics for China. Have a good one! 👍
Thank you so much
@@mahlakomafolo8850 sure, no probem... if you have any other questions, feel free to ask
You need a better microphone, please work on the sound both capture and post.
Thanks for watching 💫
Are you still in Zhengzhou let’s meet up at Zaxbbq sometime.
No, I'm not living there at the moment
我是河南省郑州市人，我们一起玩吧，抱抱🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks for the invite 😀
@@theblackasianja5371 谢谢你，我们玩吧，抱抱(づ￣ ³￣)づ
You only several mandarin words pronunciation are great!
Thank you
the map on the thumbnail is not correct 😢
The contents of the video are my wonderful experiences in China, I hope you enjoyed it
U can teach Chinese and foreigners some raggae, too perhaps ?
Every chance I get! check out this vid from my other channel I did a while back. I use music a lot to teach my classes :D ua-cam.com/users/shortsQ0hsVAV6F-E?feature=share
I am just curious. Is your accent the Jamaican accent?
Great question!💫 I'll always have my Jamaican accent somewhere in my speech but as an Accent Neutralization Coach, my training helps others practice their pronunciation, diction, become more aware of phonemic stress points- inflections, and phrasing- all this to increase oratory fluency. So for me, in this video, no, my accent isn't Jamaican. It cannot be placed... I'll be making a video about this actually📽🎬🎥... I hope you'll be watching 🙏
Are you still in Zhengzhou now?
I currently live in another province
Using a map of China without Taiwan that'll get you real far
Thanks for watching. My hope is that the content about Zhengzhou and the general life in China gets seen. I in no way intend to get involved in any other discussion as it is not my place.
Because it’s an independent nation, why would she include them together?
@@theblackasianja5371 yeah what also gets seen is your blatant ignorance, good luck
独立国家？你去联合国查看，谷歌再来发言。无知的东西
地图错误，请更正。
Do you think Chinese would enjoy jerk chicken ?
Awesome question! Mixed reviews on this. The flavor is extremely different from anything they have... I have a couple friends who have tried it, they liked it... but said it was soooo different. But expats here go crazy for it anytime they come across it 😏 🙌
so u r on work visa as English /dance teacher?
No, I'm an English Teacher. I use a variety of methods to get students engaged in classes. That song was an instructional song used to practice their listening. 🙏
You are so beautiful and charming, but you don't sound very Jamaican in your accent at all.
Thank you 😊 and thanks for watching. I'm an Accent Neutralization Coach, a highly sought after skill... no worries though, I haven't lost my accent haha
You definitely don't come across as new to video editing, do you have experience with it?
Learning in progress. I'm a graphics designer, just new to the vlogging world. Thanks so much for watching 🙏
@@theblackasianja5371 Ah cool! Will be fun to see more from you!
@@HxH2011DRA Working on it 🙏
在大陆发展，地图起码用对吧？
Not sure I understood your question. However, having taught over 1500 students across the country, geographical topics have always been the toughest lessons to teach
Because Taiwan is an independent nation and is not part of China
@@lordhoweproductions3733 你有多远滚多远。
China needs more black people to fix that country !
Fix with more crime or drugs?
@@nick-sw3in Thanks for watching. I try my utmost best to be kind and respectful to everyone. I can only ask of my viewers to be the same.
@@nick-sw3in WEST is celebrating Black history month ! China is way behind backwards in the BLM movement !
China has nothing to fix
@@pendragonaltria7141 yes they apparently FIXED you lmao
I'm also from Jamaica! I want to visit china or maybe study there but I'm not sure as yet. I'm definitely subscribed, can't wait to watch your next videos.
You should! Start making your plan and get on it! The country is opening up and ticket prices are going down. Cathay Pacific as well as other Asian Airlines are giving away 500,000 free tickets... so that's an option too. I hope you'll get the chance. Thanks for watching 🙏
@@theblackasianja5371 omg thank you
@@buttermilkun9992 sure, no prob 🙌
where is taiwan province of China 🇨🇳?
So you eat taiwan province of China 🇨🇳?
Why do you live China 🇨🇳 and add the wrong map of China 🇨🇳?
Thanks for watching. My hope is that the content about Zhengzhou and the general life in China gets seen. I in no way intend to get involved in any other discussion as it is not my place.
As a teacher, I understand whole heartedly the power of learning. I in no way intended to offend anyone and the design used was chosen absent minded of the situation. It has been removed. I continue to learn about this great country and it's people and again, I thank you for watching.
Because Taiwan is an independent nation and is not part of China
