It's always nice to get another perspective on interesting questions. It's also funny how sometimes they immediately contradict what they've just said.
Eileen, you did a wonderful job interviewing people about an interesting subject. Excellent questions, well paced and probing, and highly informative. As I refreshed my Chinese I learned about attitudes of current Chinese society. I love your videos.
This was a very good topic. Some very good vocabulary and some very good examples of everyday Chinese.這個主題很有趣。 提出了很多好的例子
You are indeed a good embasader for China! Well done!
这部视频最搞笑的啊！”我想化妆”，哈哈哈哈哈。很诚实的回答
非常好的视频。。多谢谢。。
满身都是优点啊！好自信的。nice
😂😂😂😂 挺有意思的
Excellent video. Curious though, as they speak standard mandarin but not one had a Beijing accent so in what city was this made?
Zhongshan City, Guangdong Province. They're mainly from the South.
When a man said" His wife also hard" he is so my type who knows about woman work .
The guy at 7:45 is o__O !!! "Men make most of the decisions" - uhh.. where did this guy come from? 1950?
I think he is replying without giving the question much thought. Well I hope so
Actually I made the same experience. When you are in a relation with an Asian girl and you ask her which resaurant you want to go to she often says: you decide. And this applies to a lot of situations in life. Basically as a man you are the director/ leader of the relation and you decide which way to go. It´s quite annoying for men.
男人
男女都是一样，没有公不公平的？也没有下辈子你要选择的理由，，只要活着能享受生活中酸甜苦辣，相爱相帮助面对？？？ 就oklah ，做男女都会感觉得完美的生活
0:54: 弗洛伊德式错误
诶，怎么了？我以为你们不再翻译成英文了。为什么又开始？我觉得最好的是没有英语译文。
Hi! 其实视频中的英文并不是完全照字面翻译的，翻译的过程中，我们尽量将意思表达清楚，至少英文部分是清晰易懂的。They're not translated literally. 所以，如果你只想听懂中文，还是需要做些努力，英文只是方便某些级别稍低的学生理解的。
If you still worry that you might cheat when you watch the video with English. What you can do is to get the transcript and delete the English, then listen to the video with your transcript without English.

谢谢你的贴士。
肯定我会做女人，反正这个时代的男人不是那么好😑
please laoshi , try to translate because some word do not understand
Hi Ilyas! Try to look up words you don't understand on your dictionary. A good doctionary app to download is Pleco. We cannot provide definition on every single word as we do not know which word you or others may not understand. That's why we just provide Pinyin.
What you probablly want is Literal Translation (every single word is given a direct translation), and we did that on the videos found on the following playlist: ua-cam.com/video/g3U9lDBdln8/v-deo.html
thank you laoshi, my Chinese getting better but i had one problem confused Chinese measure words , every statement has specific measure word please identify them in one video . thanks
www.mandarincorner.org/measure-words/
Here is a list of measure words.
Only beeing a Panda is easy living. No need to work, can sleep every time, get food, all people find Panda cute. Panda can do stupid things, falling down from a tree for example, but everybody like it, make photos and post it on social media. Panda never needs to make selfies, because other people will do this for him.
Flightdeck Magazin 哈哈哈啊哈，太搞笑了。真是的
ua-cam.com/video/CpK1lZJmbJY/v-deo.html
hahaha
Well, the hard thing about Panda is certainly their sex life. Everybody has high expectations that they are going to perform in bed with whatever partner is available while a couple of vets what then doing it.
That is a lot of pressure.
I am proud of myself because I could understand the meaning of the sentences without looking at their translation :D
Mat I ask, how long have you been studying Chinese?
@@Spanish_Patriot something like 2 years. But not continuously because I had to take breaks
Nice! I have been studying for a month so I still need to read hehe
Eileen, this was great. You have a natural talent as an Interviewer. The editing of this piece was really nice too. It was fun to hear the variety of opinions. And this format really suits me as I can vary between looking at pinyin, hanzi, or English while listening. It really helped me remember a lot of vocab that I had learned in the past but forgotten already. Thanks for all your hard work! There are a very few people who I consider UA-cam treasures, and you are definitely one!!!
*TOO FAST?* Control the video's playback speed by speeding up or slowing down the video *5% at a time* on *desktop computers and laptops* OR *25% at a time* on *smartphones!*
Access the playback speed controls as follows:
*Desktop Computers and Laptops:* open the video, then go to the *lower right* of the video's screen and click on the *settings icon* (it looks like a GEAR). On the upper right of the options window that comes up, you will see the link *"custom".* Click on the "custom" link to control the video's playback speed by speeding up or slowing down the video 5% at a time.
*Smartphones:* open the video and go to the *upper right* of the video's screen. You will see *3 dots.* Click on them and you will see the link to open the *"playback speed"* controls. Click on this link and you will be able to control the video's playback speed by speeding up or slowing down the video 25% at a time. Note that viewing the video on desktop computer/laptops gives you *greater control* over the playback speed (5% vs 25% on smartphones).
I am a German without any mandarin knowledge. What the hell am I doing here? The interviewer is top nodge. She never lets people escape. In a way she is very German, direct, to the point, challenging. I like her style. One question here is again very couragious. Would you want to be woman or man next life? Guess I went through both tenthousend times, but in this one I am man and I go with this one woman, who is just curious and wants to be a man next time. So I vote for woman, vote for the pain of childbirth, but I would not want to age like most woman, yet there are some, who do it nicely. In the end "Scheißegal, scheißegal, ob du Huhn bist oder Hahn...."
Girls: Stay away from the guy at 7.20 - 8.00 !
His girlfriend was actually standing behind us. Haha...
He could be trolling just for kicks. Some devious people might :)
Why? He's clearly a chad.
Why, it is true.. Many women haven´t grown up having to choose, it is a healthy challenge that they have been denied, a little like spoiled kids. So it is just the norm that many girls want the guy to make the decisions.. If anything you should be saying men should stay away from women who cannot make any decisions, let them get situations where they will gain from making decisions... Or just be with them and stage those situations
It's so much harder for women that some don't even know that they have it harder
Wow! This is another so interesting and helpful video. I am learning for HSK 5 and all your videos help so much! Awesome, indeed!
对我来说，做男人或者女人都挺好的。我们有机会出生在这个地球就是挺幸运了。女人怀孕这个天命男人肯定不能感受的。我觉得怀孕，生孩子是一个非常美好的体验，虽然有痛苦,但这痛苦中有伟大的幸福。只要两个人知道从生活中的点点滴滴发现幸福，那经济压力就没有了。不是有钱才可以获得幸福。爱自己，你会知道怎么面对生活中的困难，你会感觉挑战让你更坚强，让你的生活更丰富。所以无论做男人还是做女人都挺美好的。下辈子我还想做女人。
I'd be more than happy to be a stay-at-home dad. =D
The people interviewed many of them are so open! I was specially moved by the guy who said that he would experience childbirth, he may not be able to be a woman in this life, but he is surely a complete human with that intent.
I may be wrong but I'm under the impression that most men in the West would answer that they would be men again without hesitation, just pure machismo, since in the West being called a "girl" is such a big insult still. Very awesome video and super fun to watch.
Even if a man would want to, he can't say it because both men and women would laugh and look down on him
I love Mandarin Corner, but these government aligned, brainwashed topics are really super boring and cringe to watch. I know you need to protect your channel and play it safe, but I think there’s really more wiggle room than this
I like the way they talk, slow for me to follow but their pronunciation is not clear enough. More of babling speech. Xie xie.
I have every risk and worry taken care of and shouldered by my partner. All my needs are met by my partner and if he fails at it then the state will do it instead. My life is so difficult as a woman who has to have babies 😢(once or twice in an entire lifetime)
我是個男人下一次我也要做男人，因為我覺得男人很不乾淨所以我不想跟一個男人上床 😂
Wow, that guy at 8 minutes really knows what the world and people in other countries are like:) 呵呵
Awesome video , good selection of interviews and interesting topic! Thanks!
It depens on the situation and the personality of each person. I saw women that work and also raise their kids at the same time. In other hand I have lots of girl-friends doing absolutely nothing for their family , they just go out to hang out with their friends all the time while their husbands are hardworking to feed their family.
中国人来捧场。佩服你啊 频道做的太好了。
Tai xie le!! Eileen you are great, your videos are very useful, thank you so much!
Very educative and entertaining..😊
Awesome! Great practice and a fun look into Chinese culture. Thanks!
大家都很难吧我觉得
大家都得努力打拼
Wow this is pure awesome! Which city was this video recorded?
Zhongshan, Guangdong province.
thanks,...really helpful
大家好
我觉得做女人很难生孩子不容易，但是男人也不容易工作和家里的事压力太大了。大家都辛苦了。
是的！男人女人都各有难处，我们应该互相理解对方。
Eileen holds up half the sky! :)
在网络上你是最好的中文老师。你的视频都很有意思。谢谢你。
thanks eleen
6:15 chinese Justin Bieber
haha i had the same thought
great interviews
我觉得做男人比女人难…因为男人要负责赚钱，身材要高，外貌要帅，而且要负责追找女朋友啊。我有太多男生朋友找不到女朋友因为缺了一下地方啊。但是做女人也是一样有时候很难。如果可以选择我还是做男生好一点啊。因为习惯了。。
I don't like the English Subtitles, I understand why they're there but it kind of has me taking the "easy way" out by reading them just because they're there.
You're doing a great job tho! :)
Hi Rod! Try this video: ua-cam.com/video/3_HfIo2lPKQ/v-deo.html
It doesn't have English subtitles. And there are many more casual conversation videos that do not have English. You may want to check them out.

Mandarin Corner 挺好的。我有一个问题。3:47 她说”没有了”为什么？我听说你不可以说”没有了”😅
因为你说”没”，所以不用”了”对不对？
我问她“还有吗？” 她说“没有了”，这没问题。
Excellent topic! Thumbs up!
平常我听不懂， 但是这个录像很教育性！ 谢谢🙏
Thank you so much❤ 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🌹🌹
Lmao the last part was hilarious! 😂
thank you so much, i like this kind of video. It help me to listen so many kinds of voice. 下一辈我还想做女人
4:02 What a wonder couple!
Thanks for uploading
You do a fantastic job interviewing people Eileen. Thank you for posting yet another wonderful video.
great videos!!
love your videos :)
Some of them managed to say some very sexist things1
Excelent!
Nimen de shipin tai hao le. Xie xie nimen.
The best channel for learning Chinese 👍👍👍
Very good topic.thanks
谢谢老师。我觉得老师的视频哪个都很有意思。
I really wanted to learn more in Mandarin
特别有意思的采访。谢谢你。我还是做女人这样吧。不生孩子也行。
Mandarin Corner 你说得对，在这方面我同情我们30岁没结婚的女人。妈妈不知道吗现在的男人都靠不住。他们应该换换脑筋。
爱上了18:00的那个女孩。天啊！
Nice vidio thanks
Women live longer.
男人 = 难人 😉
做人还是最难的吧。
做這種的視頻，你們辛苦多了，謝謝!
非常感谢
where in China are you located?
Guangdong province
My wife doesn't have a job but I know she has it harder than me because she has to live with me haha
02:58 he's totally right!!!
很有意思啊。我非常喜欢这个系列啊
我始终都懂了 ! 都很清楚, 好开心, 这说明我提高了我的汉语水平, 谢谢你们的帮助, 辛苦了 ❤😍
Wanna? I have now seen this translation not only on this channel but in Chinese Costume Drama subtitles. Perhaps it comes from some kind of pop culture, like anime translations or something, but it is not standard English. 20 year olds in the USA might use it in text chats. As a native English speaker, I find this useage jarring.
Different topic: i notice that Mandarin does not rely very much on “borrowed” words. English borrows words from every language on the planet-Mandarin seems more like French in that they find ways within the language to describe a concept or product that comes from elsewhere. Interesting.
我觉得做男人难因为那个比较难的工作是男人需要做的。比如说战士，消防员，渔夫，等。我觉得有很多职业比举孩子更辛苦。我朋友们的妻子跟她们的朋友们每天都在一起喝咖啡，聊天儿，看很多动漫😂
Don't men also have to raise children in China? Don't they want their values to be passed on to their children? Are we in the 21st century or what?
@Cameron C You don't know what culture I'm from, so don't make assumptions. Not all 'foreigners' are Westerners. If you feel a need to insult the West- be my guest- I don't think Westerners really give a toss about what you think....... I've lived in China for several years, and have very little trust in Chinese govt statistics. Domestic violence is probably underestimated all over the world, and especially in China.
@Cameron C You are being overly sensitive, and quite frankly, rude. Read my original statement- I did not compare China with any country, I merely stated that In the video, it would appear that given that many Chinese men seem to think that the responsibility of raising children rests solely ( or mainly) with the mother, their values would not be passed onto their children. Most of the world ( including in Asia) has moved beyond that. Modern men (not just in the West but elsewhere) very much want to be involved in passing values onto their children.
As for not trusting Chinese statistics-many people all over the world do not. Many also do not trust the West.
Frankly, I don’t really understand why you are so pissed off. I also do not understand why you interpret my criticism of a specific behaviour as criticism of China as a whole.
I think this is why people move to the western countries and try to adopt western culture. Women are respected and men have to work and still help at home. Men that work then go home and sit on their butt and do nothing are likely heading for a divorce. Need to learn to treat your wife as your partner and help as much as you can and treat her as more than just a maid.
Where are women respected? I'd love to go there
