Thanks for sharing your story. I'm also Canadian and its my dream to go and see my great-grandparents house in China as well. It is a very similar story of the house being built on money sent back from Canada. I'm glad you got to have such a great experience. Thanks again.
+Dinosaur Spaceship You're very welcome. I hope you get a chance to see your great grandparents house in China. Thanks for checking out my video on Looking Inside My Grandfather's House.
Wow, amazing story! What an amazing legacy your Grandfather left, something you could pass down for generations! Thank you for sharing all these videos of your life.

Great to hear your roots are from the same area. It's my pleasure to share my experiences with viewers. Preserving our language is important. Thanks for viewing this video on visit to my Grandpa's China House.
That is crazy man , I use to live in a village in tosian and hearing them speak make me feel like home.
Great to hear your roots are from this area and that you understand the local language. Thanks for viewing my video on Visit To My Grandpa's House In China.
Dan, your grandpa is a good man, your seto ancestors will bless you and your villagers.Its not your Grandpa's fault. He is trying his best to help all his relatives and family members.
Urbanization of China makes more and more villagers move into cities. I don't know whether it good or not. but i truely wish all your seto families having better life day by day.
Thanks very much for your wishes. Change is ongoing in China. Thanks for viewing my video on Grandpa's China House.
This was very interesting. I had never seen this perspective before. Thank you.
You're very welcome. I was surprised to find out my grandfather's house is classified as a "diaolou", which is a fortress. Back then our money exchange rate was so high that they could build a village like this. I was expecting to see shacks on my first visit. Thanks for checking out my video.
Great to hear you can understand the Sze Yup dialect. I think you would enjoy visiting Hoiping. Our dialect is very much still in usage in that area. I do have access to names of villages with our namesake, so if you ever plan to visit Hoiping, I will do my best to help you find your village.
Thank-you for your kind words. My grandfather was a man of few words. I wish I could have talked to him more. Thanks for checking out my channel.
Hey Dan thanks for sharing. I stumbled upon your video by accident! I too am Canadian Chinese born in Quebec, I understand the dialect spoken as only a few people I know speak that dialect. I'm inspired more to visit the village my parents came from now. Great job with video, love the natural unedited theme of it.
Great to hear you understand the old village dialect. I hope you get a chance to visit your ancestral roots. Thanks for viewing my video on Grandpa's House In Hoiping, China.

I used to drink lots of milk. I consider my self timeless. Thanks for viewing my video on Looking Inside Grandpa's China House.
P.s. by legacy I mean the story of your family and how generous he was to relatives. Ok, now back to watch more of your vids! ;)
I do not know there is a such beautiful village in Guangdong! Shame on me, one spot for visiting next time when I come back, I can show this to my husbund and his familly.
Great story!
I hope you do get a chance to visit Hoiping (Kaiping). Thanks for checking out my video.
I spent 3 days in Hoiping and 2 days in Toishan... Just for taking pictures for those beautiful old houses and family castles
I hope you do get a chance to visit your grandfather's house in Hoiping. Is your last name Seeto? I was wondering because Seto/ Szeto/ Situ has many different spellings and different pronunciations. If you know the name of your grandfather's village, I might be able to help you find out where it is if you don't already know. Thanks for checking out my video on my Grandpa's China House.
Soohoo is also another spelling of Seto/Szeto/seeto
My family is from Toisan to.
Eason Chen Great to hear your roots are from this part of southern China. Thanks for checking out my video on visiting my Grandpa's house in China.
:O you relied thanks!, My grandpa was just like yours, He always helped everyone in the village when had about 500 bucks he tried everything to help people now I a working had to fill in his hopes :D
Eason Chen Great to hear you are carrying on the tradition and obligation.

I was expecting to see shacks. I was so shocked to see these incredible buildings. Hoiping (Kaiping) is famous for it guard towers called "diaolou". Little did I know my grandfather's house is technically a diaolou. Check out my other videos on diaolou if you get a chance. Thanks so much for commenting on my video on Looking Inside My Grandfather's House.
