Old time and old people are the real treasure of any culture

My heart started aching when she quietly sang that funeral song, then it sank when she said not to sing any more of it with that pained smile. I hope she didn’t feel pressured to sing it, must’ve brought back some painful memories…

Thanks for documenting this. Its a heartwarming piece. Please make more videos like this

[@CKkkei]

Oh, I’m pretty sure I’ve been there before. For a school trip, it was super cool, we learnt how to tie fishing nets.

This is a really beautiful video, thank you all so much for making it!

That precious granny looks like people I know that look exactly like her

I am a native Cantonese speaker. I can pretty much understand most everything she says. She should carry on our ethnic and cultural heritage.

So heartwarming like if you think it is ;)

Our collective history is slowly disappearing before our eyes.

So beautiful! I hope that someone can find a way to preserve these fantastic historic and cultural songs! 👍🏽❤️

Such a beautiful lady..She seems very alone.I hope someone visits her😔

[@priyaverma3158]

I fear when the old people disappear how I can know my culture in true words it doesn't seem fit to read in books or watch any documentary.

[@missc6826]

Is she singing in Tanka dialect? Sounds just like Cantonese

[@fransjebik8554]

[@gollygoth4278]

Another beautiful snippet of Chinese culture.

[@philyip4432]

Thank you.

Among the PRC failings is an unwillingness to remember and honor its history. Granted,not everything's great or admirable but still.
