Hello there! Sorry I have been absent for over a month.
Today I want to sit down and have an honest chat with you guys. It's all about why I am not making videos and how I'm doing these days.
I hope you will understand more about me after the little talk!
Thank you all, my friends.

It's okay not to be okay. :)
That's true! :D
I moved to a new country to be with my husband and while I'm happy i did it, it's been the hardest year of my life and a pandemic didn't make it easier. I have no friends here so i spend a lot of time alone feeling bad for myseld. So i feel you, hang on and when you feel bad just go outside for just 20 mins, either go sit somewhere and just watch people pass by or go for a walk. It helps me sometimes :)
Moving to a new country is scary and exciting at the same time. Hope the pandemic can be over soon to make things easier. Life will get better if we make home wherever we are :) Sending lots of love ♡
@@DongDongWu Thank you! Yes I spend a lot of time these days to plan the future and it helps a lot! Stay strong💪
I’ve lost motivation since coronavirus took over too. Too much isolating and not seeing family or friends. And all live entertainment like plays and live music are impossible as long as the virus is rampant. Plus the country is horribly divided. Still we enjoy day to day pleasures like seeing the neighborhood mating hawks call and fly over. And cooking food and watching movies and series on our tv. I see new things when walking the neighborhood that went unnoticed. The side yard and flower pot garden of basil and peppers and tiny tomatoes is doing well with the rain and sun. The dog is keeping us busy. I hope you get to meet and make some good friends and you find a more successful business. There are lots of obstacles but you can overcome them. Best.
Thank you that's a great encouragement! I'm happy you could find little happiness in life. I will try to do the same!
Hello DongDong, random guy here. First video I watched of you was the one where you showed the Yick buildings, your charming personality made me browse your other videos. First I think it's a brave thing to just show how you feel and not pretend that everything is perfect in your life like most people pretend. I felt related to you somehow because I'm from Venezuela, I left my country 7 years ago and started my new life in the USA, and I left family, friends, and my conform zone (similar to you). After so much struggle going to college, learning English etc, now I have a good job, and can sustain myself and help my family a bit. This has a price though, I'm far away from my family, GF from college left me 4 years ago, and I'm just here alone in my golden bubble, at least you have your husband, but when you are alone is even harder.
This year actually started pretty good for me, my mom and sis did visit me, I made friends in a Japanese class I attend to, but everything kinda went downhill with covid. Friends lost their jobs, we haven't gone anywhere in months, a friend even had to find a job in another state... Lately, or should I say basically after February I haven't done any social activity (in person) and all these months of isolation are starting to take a toll on me. It has even made me wish I was living my old life with mom and sis, little money and luxury in our life, but definately simpler and a lot happier, just like those people that were playing chess in the Yick Cheong buildings.
Sorry for the long story that no one asked for, but I kinda wanted to share it. I see you are not super popular yet you make good and fun videos and I can easily see that it's not for the money. I won't tell you to keep making videos if you don't want to, but I can assure to you I'll be watching your videos. Even tho is difficult, stay positive, regards from TX!
Your words got me into tears! Thank you for sharing your piece of life with me. I appreciate it a lot.
I know it's a very difficult time for you, your friends and a lot of people. Especially when you are dealing with it alone. But I believe it's temporary. Things will get better! Hang in there my friend.
I admire your courage to move to another country all by yourself and fight your way through. You have proved your ability and strength. I have no doubt you will have a great future (in career and finding your loved one) wherever you stay. Just listen to your heart and be happy.
Sending my best wishes!
@@DongDongWu Sorry I didn't intend to make you feel emotional!! Usually rather make friends laugh :'D. Yeah, I mean I believe everyone is fighting their own battles, and I think self-growth comes from the hardest battles life throws at us. Anyways, changing the subject a bit, for the next Q&A if you have time I'd like to hear your opinion of how is life in China vs USA. What does it take to be "sucessful" in your country?
I can see that China has a lot of poor, rural, and well developed areas, it's almost like there are multiple realities in one country. In constrast, the USA is all about the "fake sucessful life" where material things is all that matter. I don't know much about your background, but if you could talk a bit about that I'd be pretty interested.
Thank you DongDong :)
@@tealuxe That's an interesting topic! On my list :D
Jesus, I just saw your comment and I kind of relate. I moved states around when you made this comment and I was doing great, I loved being in a new place and being across the country. I got to talk to and video my friends and keep seeing my old therapist. Eventually I got lonely and I found a bf but now we broke up about a week ago and your comment and DongDongs video is really hitting me. I used pandemic and having a new bf as an excuse to not go anywhere because I feel bad about going anywhere, even outdoors or to the supermarket, like it's not right, while a lot of people don't care and don't wear masks, and now that I am alone again, I realized I miss him a lot more than I should because I don't really have friends to hang out with like before. I don't see my co-workers a lot and they all isolate too. I'm having a hard time and being very emotional trying to find a new balance and doing things I originally planned to do too. Take care.
It’s difficult to uproot and settle into a new life. Very often things develop all of a sudden. You are percervering and trying to remain positive which maybe stressful. Admire you haven’t given up and still willing to take chances. You have bothered with your appearance and look lovely. Refreshing true honest videos, thank you.
I know exactly how you feel. I am like that here in Virginia, USA. I live in a gated lake community with my firefighter husband. I don't work or drive and it's very rural here. Very lonely.
Oh girl... we've all been there! Hang in there. You have a friend in me, I so enjoy seeing your videos, your honesty and even the ups and downs. Those are life! You are so brave to share them. You are braver than you think! Get out there meet new friends! You can do it!!
I will try my best :)
I wish I could be your friend. Thanks for being so real. God bless you, sister. ❤️
I'm 54 seconds in (paused to leave this comment, and may leave more as I continue!) all of what you shared there would have been great videos on their own! Your vlogs are always great and it's a great way to follow whats going on in your every day life! Also I was wearing my "Time for your meowdicine" shirt today!
That 15 second clip was the only not boring part lol. Yay! It makes me so happy that you are wearing it!
hello dongdong! new subscribe here! it's okay if you're taking some time for yourself, we all need rest sometimes. we would still be here to watch your videos tho! i like your videos and i hope you'll feel less lonely soon. 🤗
Awww thanks! That's very sweet of you!
Don't let depression take you in its a hard hole to clime out of. Maybe if you record your feelings online someone might feel the same and be able to help in similar situations 😷 stay strong.
I've just found your channel, I've subscribed because emotions are real,not everything in life is instantly or ytube perfect...and that is ok,its not achievable. I relate more to real people,and you seem genuine,hang in there x
Hi. You vlogs popt up in my feed, and have watch from the smal apatmet. It so so so Okay to be not Okay! And is really Good too know it. Big late hug from me in Norway! 💕
Hugs for you. Good advices at the end. This life experience will enhance your resilience and you will come out stronger to overcome what life has in store. Stay optimistic and believe in yourself. take care.
aaawww you’re adorable! this is perfectly normal to be homesick from your friends! don’t worry, everything’s going to be fine! you have a wonderful personality, you’re strong! You and your husband take care. I send you all my support from 瑞士🇨🇭
Thank you for your support! That's so sweet of you♡
We are rooting for you both! xxx
I felt really lonely and homesick when I was living in Japan. I ended up going back home, but I think if you can't or don't want to do that the only way would be to make where you are more comfortable and have roots where you are and strong connections to people, it takes a lot of time...
That's very true. Try our best to make the place home wherever we go :)
Just came across your videos for the first time today. I subscribed. You have a great spirit about you. Keep being you, post whatever you feel like posting. Great UA-camrs are followed because they are great people. You are great too, and interesting. I think you have to give it time and everything will come together for you. The more you post, the more people may accidentally find you and your channel, like me. I’m rooting for you both! 😊👍🏻
Thank you! This is a great encouragement for me 😊
I think youre a very sympathetic woman. I totally relate to having distanced myself from people I used to hang out when I found my lover. That was already before the pandemic but now it's like so long ago just being around people and making new connections that the idea of trying to now, makes me really anxious and also lonely cuz I'm doubting myself so much
Loved this one. amazing truthful intro
I have these days too. Even though this was months ago, hugs my friend.
Thank you for this video. I lost my motivación after Covid...I like the way you see life. Please keep it up!!! Hugs from México!
That's very sweet of you! Stay positive, things will get better eventually ♡
Stay strong buddy I hope everything will be alright
Strength must come from within.
Thank you for todays video! I know it's difficult without having the friends local or even to make new ones it is so difficult. A way to do both at once ... you could take us on your day, or adventure out into your new home and city, more casual more raw, out exploring your neighborhood or something along those lines or something! No matter what, look forward to the next time you share your life with us!
Those are good ideas. I thought I needed to be fun, energetic in my vlogs but maybe something raw and real would be interesting too!
@@DongDongWu Take us grocery shopping with you! :)
I hope you doing well!!!
Thank you :)
💕💕awe! I can relate💕💕
I rarely comment on UA-cam videos, and I can’t help but want to give you a *hug* here.
Thank you 🤗
I find your channel from monster building video.. And now seeing you crying is heartbroken. I just love you vibes in that video... Always be cheerful
Oh please do not cry. It's so heartbreaking.. Hugs ❤️
❤️
What an amazing empath.
Honestly I'm interested in the small things videos.even boring stuff. I like to see others lives and how they live! Don't be afraid to post even small videos! 🖤
I like those videos too! Thank you for your encouragement 🥰
Ita okey to cry after all we are all human. This pandemic made us emotional but it also make us more stronger.... stay safe and strong Dong dong :)
I will and you too! Thank you ♥
I just subscribed and enjoyed the way you share your stories. Share us more of your new life there, whether inside your house or outside. We'll be your sort of pen friends? 😄
Sure I'll try to keep up. Thank you my pen friend! 😊
❤️❤️❤️
Girl you are beautiful... and your shirt is trendy, show us you. We are here watching you fluttering around in this video and we love it. Take us outside, takes us for a walk.. we wanna see . Show us the trendy skin care routines that people rave about over there, not the expensive shit, but like the sheet masks. Shit!, tell us where you got your shirt from. Show us some Chinese herbal medicines, that are gonna make us look and feel amazing , what should we juice, ginger and what girl, tell us. 😂😂💗💗🌸 p.s you are great keep going, wish you had more videos
This pandemic caused a lot of damage mentally as well as physically. You never had a chance to fully embrace the area after moving and it shows, so for there to have been a lot of grieving over the situation is totally valid.
I hope you feel better. Sometime it is okay to let yourself cry, you shouldn't hold back on your emotions. It sounds like you guys are in the beginning of setting down roots in a "new" city where you have to built new relationships from scratch. These relationships can take years to built until you've finally feel like you've found your "click" of true friends who work, live, and build families and careers in the same city as you. Take a breathe. Remember home is where the heart is. And the heart is where warmth and support and relationships (family, friends, spouse) are. Join events of your interests, network, find support women run career groups, and maybe along the way, you'll find and build deep friendships. You don't need hundreds of friends, you just need a few great and genuine friends to make you feel at home.
Your words truly made my day♡ You are right. I have to embrace the city as home before I can fit in and find friends. I will follow your advice and take small steps. Thank you so much!
You're so cute! I'll be your sister-friend in Hangzhou (will be moving there soon) xx
I'd love to! That would be great! Hangzhou is a beautiful city :)
😘
So, when are you moving back to China and what will your husband do, go with you or stay in the US?
I was worried about you due to the lack of videos. obviously, you are upset and going through some tough times, just know that there are people who do care about you and your husband. knowing you, you will get it together soon and get back to your usual self. take care and try to do something fun.
Thanks Adrian! I'm getting back to myself and staying positive. Looking back I will see these little bumps in life didn't matter as much as I thought :)
@@DongDongWu you are right, when big problems are solved, little problems (bumps) seem to increase their importance. hang in there, you are one tough cookie! lol
Haha that's funny because I have no friends therefore if I move into a new place I'm not familiar with, I won't feel sad.
Any plans of visiting India🇮🇳may be after this CoVid?
Rishikesh is in my dream list! I'll definitely visit in the future.
I watched videos all day of the twin towers on 9/11/21 ...spent the whole day and night crying for the loss people suffered.
It's ok to be emotional.
Cleanses the soul...any God saves all our tears.
