- So what the heck do I say if I sneeze in Chinese -_-
Hi friends ♡
The second I stepped onto the motherland soil, the culture shock hit me like a truck😳 To this day I'm still figuring my way around, but over the past 2 years I've learned to adapt, and ma dudes it has been a RIDE. Spoiler: Wechat is the future🥵
哈咯朋友们♥
我一踏上中国读大学，一下子受到了很大的文化冲击:O 到现在还没有完全适应但是通过这两年，有学到很多很多！很想知道，你们对打喷嚏有反应吗？😂

You put out so much well-edited content between the vlogs and Tik Toks. So productive!
nosyboiz hahaha I have a lot of fun making them!! Tryna keep myself busy thru quarantine 😆😆
I’m crying this was so funny 😂 I was so confused when I was at dinner with my parents and their American friends and their friends were fascinated by the fact that I would share food with my parents (eating off their plates and taking food from them). Also congrats on 1k, and you’re gonna grow so much more I just know it! 🥳💜
THANK YOU SO MUCH ❤️❤️ and yeah!! i got the questionable glances soo much growing up because of table manners 🤣🤣
You are so underrated, I binged watched all your videos lol you are funny and quirky, keep it up :)
Thank you so so much hahaha 😆😆
I can’t believe that during my time in China the thing that confused me the most was how people react to sneezing. Is it just me?? Can’t a girl get a bless you or at least a zhu fu ni :(
没想到我呆在中国最让我烦恼的就是人们对打喷嚏的反应。这是我一个人这样想吗？？至少能说个祝福你吧。。
I guess the best way to explain is we just don’t lol
呆在美国最让我烦恼的也是人们对打喷嚏的反应。不用对我说bless you，让我尽情地打喷嚏好不好
@@daniels3404 I don't think you understand what "bless you" means. What is wrong with people trying to protect you from having evil spirits invade your head? Sneeze as much as you like, then get a bless you.
@@lovelypuff9 China is an atheist country in general... So saying anything related to evil may just not making sense........ And this actually offer the feeling that they are watching me doing my personal stuff(sneezing), and it's kinda make me nervous when I first came to america lol.
Yo CBC here, still in Canada but with a lot of Chinese coworkers. Learning that they don't say anything after sneezing was a real shock for me, and a real shock for them that we just have to say bless you when someone sneezes. I feel so validated hearing the same shock from you hahahahaha
Grant Zeng HAHAH to this day I still whisper bless you under my breath out of reflex but they always get so confused 😂😂😂
depending on which part of China you grew up with, in cantonese like guangdong province, your family members do say bless you after you sneezed.
Omg I can so relate!! Congrats on almost 1k!!! WELL DESERVED 💗💗
zoeunlimited GIRL THANK YOU 🤧❤️❤️
I love how much effort was put into the clips after 1:34 it's the little things that make her videos so good
Absolutely love how acute you are to these cultural differences... spreading awareness and delivering insights and educating us all in the most entertaining way possible :)
Just found this video 💜 I'm not learning Chinese/have no plans to travel to China but I really sat here watching this for 10min straight. Also your personality and editing style are really engaging; just subbed!
This is really fun to watch! Please make more videos! You're probably the most entertaining Chinese UA-camr on UA-cam that I have seen so far! :)
ooooo 有人想你了 🤧😂 We used to tease each other when someone sneezed LOL
Omg that’s so cute 😂😂😂
Thank you for making this, I needed it for my Chinese homework. You're a lifesaver ;-; !
Hey, I just randomly found this video, but I wanted you to know that (me speaking as someone from the US) it had so many culture differences I didn’t know about- and you presented it in a great easy-to-understand way. Thanks!
Canadian expat in China and yeah you nailed it on so many of these, especially the traditional medicine. Super skeptical about all of it (it is basically black magic in my eyes), but it seems to work.
This is sooooooo much fun. The acting is so real.
The reaction is different when you sneeze depending on the culture.
Hahahaa I’ll never get used to not saying bless you in china 😂😂
You are so funny and as a Korean, some of these are quite similar XD start prepping for the test at age 2, sounds about right!!
Anna Lee thank you 😆😆 and holy I really can’t imagine that, props to you and all those poor 2 year olds 🤣
I enjoyed watching this video. I am an elderly American gentleman who has been helping Chinese university students with oral English for about 6 years now. This was not only entertaining, it was also very informative to me !!! [ thanks for taking the time to make this available ] ... Norm
In our place, sneezing is a bit kind of rude haha! Especially when you sneeze without covering your mouth/nose 😂 so after sneezing, we’ll have to say “excuse me” or “I’m sorry” even after no reaction from others 😅
We also got Chinese culture here and I can relate with the medicine skit! 🤣 I once brought by my mom to a “oriental doctor”? and the medicine tasted SO BAD! 🤢😂
Simple Life Of Mich hahaha that’s so interesting 😆😆 I’m so used to expecting a bless you every time that when it’s silent I get a little lost 😂 Right?? Chinese medicine is seriously 🥴🥴
please make more of this content! it's really interesting
Thank you for this video, great job!
I love your energy and humor! Very informative 🙏🏼
I love you! You’re amazing 🤣
This is one of the funniest videos I've ever seen, and so relatable! I moved to the US a few years ago and everything in your video is so true. Where I'm from, the response to sneezing is: "Someone is talking behind your back!" or piyin "you ren zhai ni bei ho suo huai hwa!" Lol
Omg!your awsome!keep it up😍😍
recently discovered your channel and you’re hilarious haha, and it’s grown so much in such a short time
Aww thank you sm!! 🥺❤️❤️
Going to share your video with my Chinese High School class, they are graduating this year and most of them will be going to college in the US. We been talking about culture shock and your perspective is pretty neat.
说得太棒了，内容也特别特别好🤣🤣🤣大半夜的给我逗得睡不着觉🌝支持你的内容哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈
Thanks for this video I’ve always wanted to know the differences between the two ! 🙏
of course!! had a lot of fun making it 😆😆
I’m learning mandarin rn and when you said “在 China” and “in 中國” never before have I related so much to a video 😂
What a great video that was!
I’m glad I stumbled onto this channel 😂
Every tribe has its own culture and lanuage ,all languages and cultures should be respected and share their culture to the world .... Beautiful culture women and men .....China is multi cultural and they hold dear to tradition....
This is my first time watching your videos, and I started it like "Well, let's focus on pronunciation, it seems she's native" (since I'm learning Chinese), and when you've just said that DAMNIT AMERICAN "culture shock", I went like w-wO-WO WO WO, WHATHEHELL, DUDE?????¿??
Loved it, you got a new subscriber
Jesus I don't even know you have a bilibili account. i'm going to follow later. by the way your videos are so brilliant.再接再厉！
xswl 😆 看完视频肯定学到了很多！继续加油！❤
This is awesome for me while learning Chinese because 你会说英语和中文. 谢谢你 :)
CONGRATULATIONS ON 1k and 30k on tiktok!!!😆😆💖 I’m so glad that you’re finally getting the recognition that you deserve🥺🥺💖 this was so funny hahaha oh my gosh I didn’t know that sneezing meant that someone is thinking about you😂 and yes, Alipay is rlly gonna be the future of us😤😤
GIRL THANK YOU SM 😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️ I was shook myself like who knew just a sneeze would mean so many things in diff cultures 😂😂 dude wechat and Alipay are gonna take over the world omg ILY STAY SAFE AND HEALTHY ❤️❤️
Amazing!
once I had to do a family gathering after 13 years not going back or something like that. The table had this giant turn table. What I learned, if you like something, DONT BE KE QI!! Take as much as you can to fit your bowl cuz by that time that dish comes back to you--it empty!
PLEASE I relate to this so much. I’m also an ABC but I am not as fluent as you... but I would like to be more fluent!
Lmao when you sai “zai China” and “in zhong guo”
你的中文有些说得挺好啊，没什么生疏的感觉，幼儿园有些绕口，哈哈
LOL you should do a video on chinese drinking games hehe after watching the farewell im curious to know how to play any chinese drinking games you might know!
OMG i actually might kekek a lot of them are definitely suuuper different from american ones!!
As a kid growing up in a Chinese family and taking an American curriculum, I must say 这个演的太好了！ 加油LOL
ABC in New England here, but for the sneezing thing I got so used to not saying ‘bless you’ when I went to Taiwan that I have to remind myself to do it here
OMG I could never get accustomed to not saying it 😂😂 i would just whisper it when I was in china
OMG your girl here also an ABC in Cali. Definitely can relate to a lot of what your saying about China. When I was in Beijing riding the subway during rush hour on a normal work day, lines were so crowded at my stop I legit had to wait 3 rounds before I could get on and when I got to the front I was literally being pushed in... o.o you get so crowded an squished in there sometimes. 挤死我了！！
I SO FEEL YOU 人山人海 for real omg 😂😂😂
(at least in my fam) the chinese (cantonese) equivalent of "bless you" is "大吉利是", and only older people (mom, grandma, etc) would say it
Came for the TikToks stayed for the cute YT vlogs~♡
Any chance you'd a part 2 or more of these??? 🤔
Lol I feel the exact opposite. It annoys me so much every single time when people say bless you to me as I sneeze
My dad uses a delivery system similar to the last one. Don't know how, just know it's through WeChat and we're in the U.S. So.. I have no idea, but it's similar for sure
Cool 😎
I love how you say your mandarin is shat when mine is worse. lol I thought I was ok at my first language turns out America might have hit me a little to hard
Facts, so true
Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! The doctor's visit...
This video was an experience!
I enjoy the video, please can you do the video about Mandarin language and spiritual culture. Also a video about how disabled person are taken care of in China. Thanks.
the chinese doctor skit 😳 ahaha that's wild but I am definitely intrigued
i dare u to go to a chinese clinic, you'll be conFUSED
Chinese medicine has a history of thousands of years, modern science cannot explain it but it is very effective
you are very funny all you said is so true ! I miss China
I don’t know if this applies everywhere, but normally you only need to toast to the people who have higher status( especially those who can affect your life direction) and the elders to show respect. Kinda dark though😂
hello i like this
👍👍
I’m an ABC trying to get better at mandarin.. any recommended orgs or places to practice speaking/learning you would recommend?
Hey,I'm Chinese and for sure I can speak mandarin well.Maybe I can help you😬
觉得最大的差异还是思维方式上的冲突，给同样的题材，中国人和美国人会想的东西是完全不一样的。
The way people think is absolutely different, it’s hard to put two countries peoples on the same table and expect them to behave the same.
中文说得好棒，说得内容也太真实了吧
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
😂😂😂😂l live in China and the way they toast to everyone 😂😂😂it’s insane
1:10 我平时会说:一百岁!
you lost me at 街上的阿姨卖水果 XD
HAHAHA
Oh have you grown up in California all of your life before moving to China?:) nice videos
Hahaha 你好可爱
一想二骂三感冒哈哈哈哈
支付宝超级方便
Sonhot she is oh ma god
哈哈哈哈从b站来的！好可爱！不过有个小小小建议！可以视频要是中文就是中文，英文就全部英文，混杂一起感觉怪怪的哈哈哈，视频做的超级好呀！
6:39 掐虎口这件事我一定要说一下，这个不是你信不信的问题，这就是生理上的治疗方法，我从小胃疼（注意不是肠子疼）都是掐虎口，2分钟之内就不疼了，但根据周围人的经历，如果一向用药物治疗，或者一些特殊病因的话，掐虎口就不顶事。
It took me 3 minutes and 5 seconds to realize the SpongeBob song in the back
who are you telling your stories to? to Americans in Chinese? or telling Chinese?
Its my dream to buy an apartment in Bejing🥺🥺🥺😍
Everything being paid using we chat is still kinda new in China, not even 10 years old. But I guess if you are under 20 it must feel like it has always been there.
中国一向如此，事物来的激烈去的迅猛，几乎没有中间过程。政策，只要得到政策支持，可以一夜盖起万丈高楼，可以推平山丘。
After sneeze people say 一百岁， 2百岁， 三百岁。。。。
Its because you don't understand the 包房文化. It was originally designed for privacy amongst elite government officials, and men that wanted to take and hide their 小三. It was later adopted by families that wanted to hold family gatherings which something more common now because Chinese have more money and can choose to eat out at restaurants which wasn't the case for the past 4 decades.
So no one will talk about how gorgeous this woman is?
Because you don’t get that many California ABC’s that grew up in America but now live in China
What if you grew up in China then live in the America now?
God acting older sister wnd god konten
你太好笑了哈哈哈哈，你在中国哪个城市？
THAT CHINESE DOCTOR THING IS SO TRUE I STG, THE MEDICINE TASTED HORRIBLE DOE
SO MUCH TRAUMA FROM THE BITTERNESS 😭
add wechat, hahaha
😘😘😘😘😘😘👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾🤝👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
🙋♀️🙋♀️🙋♀️🙋♀️🙋♀️🙋♀️
Eating meals with hot water 💀😂🤦♂️
My culture doesnt care just says bless you 1 time, not 10 lol👉🏻👈🏻
这个ABC不太纯，完全就是中国普通大学在校女生的形象
Lol
You are not Chinese? What country are you from??
别人打喷嚏，不是应该对他说“一百岁”吗？反正我从小就是这么说的。
I'm refusing having dinner with my white colleagues after so many nights having dinner with them during projects, we always went to a western restaurant with our own plate food and or one plate of pizza of 8 slices for each person..like WTF aren't pizza meant for sharing? 😅😅😅😅😅😅 Or is that only done by asian?
After a while, they notice and ask why I never join dinner anymore. And I told them, I will if you let me choose the restaurant. And I brought them to chinese restaurant and told them before hand. This dishes are not to be eaten only by each of you. This meant for sharing! I'm enough for having only 1 type of food because of you guys.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
in my chinese american family, when someone sneezes we say 一百岁
LOLOL what’s the meaning behind it?
@@gegethejing idk i just kinda assumed it was along the lines of "I hope you live to 100" or sm lmaoo
I need friends :D
I think it's not only the culture shock, it is about a higher civilized society vs lower civilized society. As you talk No 9 the drinking culture, in China that's about 关系, if you want to keep a good relationship with you teachers and classmates, you need to drink with them(敬酒), and sometime they will take care of you(your test results and daily stuff etc. ) . BTW, I love your videos so much, I was impressive with your acting skills(入木三分). Keep going GEGE.
I remember being so shocked when my classmates taught me about the drinking culture, it's so different from the states! but thank you so much!! 😆
