    Fascinating interviews! It's interesting that nobody chose love, as I believe most people in Western countries value it more and so more people would chose it.

    • @duckymomo7935
      @duckymomo7935 5 років тому +11

      I think smart will lead the others
      Being smart can be attractive or cause you to work on being attractive and can help you get rich
      Being attractive might help with money but you’d have to study hard and plenty of people can’t do that sadly
      Rich, they can be unattractive and not smart, this could lead to financial ruin

      being rich, you can have education that makes you become smart, and you can educate yourself about personality then you become attractive !

      I think its common for kids there to be taught that way. Or in any place, really. When I was little, my parents often told me that health is always more important than money. They would ask, without health, what can you do? Money can't buy health. If we are healthy first, then we can go do other things. very wise words, indeed.

    One of the things that is really great about this kind of video is the diversity of mandarin varieties. I can see various different variations of mandarin chinese and identify what sort of phonetic changes there are. For example, I realized that not only the taiwanese but some other peoples pronounce the sh/zh/ch as s/z/c.

    It shows the full complexity and intellect of our great Father God when He created all in China; the brightness of the human race. It’s so beautiful even my mere words fail to enlighten the masses of our brothers and sisters in China.

      There is, we have also prophecies about what will come next from Blessed Virgin Mary that appeared in France at La Salette and prophesied that Paris will be burnt. She announced this in 1846 before to appear to Lourdes, which is by the way the 2nd most visited city in France just after Paris, and France being the most visited country in the world. (In Lourdes, she healed 7 000 peoples, but only 70 were officially recognized and it was by scientists and not the Catholic church).
      We have also the prophecies of italian mystic Elena Aïello, as well as French mystic Marie-Julie Jahenny, german Anna-Katherine Emmerich and so on.
      I learnt recently that Norway and Sweden were the same country in the past and given what's going on, it's terrible. The main media are not reporting what is happening, they put all the crimes in the local ones like in France, in Italy, in Spain and so on. Peoples in France read "fdesouche.com" that look for all the important news that are not making the headlines and that proves there is a civil war raging. There are plenty of suburbs where you're no more in security in Europe. In the past, North Africans used to put Europeans in slavery for 3 centuries until the French king stopped them by launching the colonisation and the creation of the country Algeria, but the globalists lost all their cheap labor with whom they set up their banks through the trade of tobacco, cotton, sugar and then they set up the whole communist idea in order to expand it to the whole world and financing the Russian revolution. You can look for the following interview of Ivy League's teacher Anthony C. Sutton, here, on UA-cam : "how Wall Street financed the Bolshevik revolution" if you want to understand what's coming very soon... Blessed Virgin Mary predicted in 1917 while there was the Russian revolution and we didn't understand but one hundred years later with internet we can no more be caught off guard...
      The death of the King of Sweden was decided years ago at the same time than the death of our King of France by the way.
      Norway has oil and must help the other European nations against our common foes as we don't have energy unlikely to them.

    This video has so much to offer grammatically, culturally and just... let’s say 🤔 spiritually. Thanks as always and keep up the awesomeness. P.S I would and do choose health. For many of the same reasons that has been stated in the video. without health you can’t appreciate anything else. Life is greatly about the experience and without health, Mental and physical health, those experiences would be hard to enjoy. Suffering (which is mental) can ruin the best of opportunities.
    In my way of life (and experiences)- having harmony with life (systemically)/ life’s way or let’s use the Dao is that joy and happiness, life’s abundance’s come naturally. You won’t really have to want.
    This may be very “law of attraction” based to many but I just have realized life to be this way. All the other things can come and go without your say (money, love) they all rely on other people, and people are not stable, but your wellness and connection with life’s harmonious intent is 100% in your control. More than anything else. ✌️😇✌️💚

      Money buys things as long as it's accepted by the society that the rich man lives in.
      It's ungrateful to disconnect from the roots that made you rich - it proves that the environment that invested in you deserves to be left.

    Very interesting interviews. I'm from the US. With my personal bias of Chinese people, I thought most would say 'Money'. This changed my perception a bit.

    I feel at my age, almost 40 working shift work, if I had enough money to reduce work I would have the freedom to focus more on my health. More time to cook healthy meals, I could afford a personal trainer, maybe even a personal cook if I was very rich. As for love, Im lucky to have my wonderful wife by my side but that brings us back to health, I would prefer my wife and I grow old together living a simple life than having all the money in the world but nothing that can save us from bad health. I guess it always comes back to health... and its something I really need to focus on more.

      @andrewaitken6923 4 роки тому

      @Cuong T Kong This calls for wisdom. Let the person who has insight calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. That number is 666.
      13:16 It also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads, 17 so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name.13:4 People worshiped the dragon because he had given authority to the beast, and they also worshiped the beast and asked, “Who is like the beast? Who can wage war against it?”
      12:12 Therefore rejoice, you heavens and you who dwell in them!
      But woe to the earth and the sea, because the devil has gone down to you!
      He is filled with fury, because he knows that his time is short.”
      17 Then the dragon was enraged at the woman and went off to wage war against the rest of her offspring-those who keep God’s commands and hold fast their testimony about Jesus.
      11:19 Then God’s temple in heaven was opened, and within his temple was seen the ark of his covenant. And there came flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder, an earthquake and a severe hailstorm. ------ This is the revelation which God gave to Yeshua the Messiah, so that he could show his servants what must happen very soon. He communicated it by sending his angel to his servant Yochanan, who bore witness to the Word of God and to the testimony of Yeshua the Messiah, as much as he saw. Blessed are the reader and hearers of the words of this prophecy, provided they obey the things written in it! For the time is near!

    Access the playback speed controls as follows:

    To begin with, I really wanna say how much I appreciate you all doing this interview style discussion.
    I did learn a bit about what the younger generation seems to want. unfortunately, most will never realize their dream situation because of the fact that they might lack understanding in what keeps a very populated area afloat, and perhaps just how much hard work will go into each ones future.
    that being said, I dont know alot about the infrastructure in China, perhaps with the exception that millions of things come from China and are sent to here[America/USA], and around the world. this is good of course for the economy in China.
    but, what I know about more, life in general[as i am passed my mid 50's] is that life as a general rule never goes easy, and jobs are not so secure [ as there is always someone ready to take your spot if and when you fail to perform to their expectations.
    Also, the world as a whole plays a big part in all our future [ie. wars of all kinds can become major obstacles to , like oil embargos, trade deals gone bad, and who is not aware of the changes a viral threat can bring, just to mention a few from recent history]
    And then there is also bible prophecies we must take into consideration.
    for me, I love people from all countries, i look forward to the days when we live in a world not ruled by greed and selfishness.
    It's true, I live in the poverty level somewhere, but unlike many of my counterparts, i am content to have the basics of life, and rely on our Creator to help me keep a positive attitude- and at the same time, spend my time being helpful towards others.
    Please, if you can, discuss the same material with some of the older generation. I would truely like to know how they are getting along. who knows, it may well have a balancing affect on some of the younger generation

    As a Korean expat in China for more than 20 years, I can see these interviews are done in the area where I live, mostly Guangzhou or maybe Shenzhen.
    Seen from the fact that these interviews were made before the outbreak of COVID in China, just feel pity for those youngsters, thinking what could have happened to them in the last 3 years.
    At least I was lucky enough to escape that living hell and wait until the pandemic was over.

      Chinese are practical people. They dont live in fantasy. When they choose money they choose it for their familial love. Chinese people are the most people that honors their parents and give everything to their family. So money = familial love.
      You cant choose love and eat it. You can love while having money And money will be your least problem :)

If they don't care about you why would anyone marry them. If you have money as a man a Chinese women brings nothing but debt and heart ache.

    All 3 can’t be compared cause the 3 elements are intertwined, to have love then you must have money and to have money you must be healthy, to give love then you should have money and to give love then you should be healthy in order to get the money. I’d be better to ask a person if they are healthy but not to relate to the other two elements. 😊

    *If you prioritize love then love is interpreted differently and is often conditional and can drag you down with all sorts of ridiculous demands or requests.
    *Money loses its value gradually over time and if everyone had it then it actually loses value faster and is no different to just vouchers or coupons used to exchange or acquire other stuff on the condition that it is still accepted by others.
    *Being too healthy will attract the attention of medical professionals and you'll risk attracting lots of sick people trying to learn about your lifestyle or in the worst-case scenario organize cults/foundations/organizations to harvest your healthy organs to save other lives.
    *Being Materialistic is totally acceptable which simply proves you are not blind and can actually see and verify what else can be obtained.
    *Importantly, you must be working consistently regardless of what you do; whether you like it or not; because you can easily switch and change your work any time even if you feel you don't have a choice. Work till you die. The moment you stop working is the moment you can't work (Sleeping permanently) and people will carry on working and living with or without you.
