That last name is not that common but also not that rare, but it’s a family name you can’t choose. However there were plenty of parents in early days would name their children “get rich” or something like that.
@@LegacyFTW It was a royal family name around 1000 years ago, which made it one of the most respected & popular names back then. 趙錢孫李 were the top four, where 趙 and 李 were the imperial family name of Song & Tang Dynasty.

yes.. because in history class difference is huge... chinese parents generally want their children to be educated (doctors, work in the government, etc) because statistically, you are much more likely to flip your social status within 1 generation when you are educated...
Nobody does because doctors talk to you for 5 min and here is a 300 dollar bill take some tylenol if you feel like shit again come again we will do some tests.
Nono , they will go see a doctor when it's almost free.

"Flip the clan narrative around. Start from the bottom. Then Boom! Now we're here! We're doctors!" Ronny's delivery is so spot on and his jokes are always so intelligent. It's like a next level self-awareness.
Showed this to my mother, she thought it was funny, though mentioned that the part about being shot with an arrow was exaggeration. Then I remind her the time I got shot in the head by some kid's homemade bow & arrow and they decided to not take me to the hospital, despite a doctor there saying that wound would require at least 5 stitches. (end up not going to the hospital, but since I recovered it's all good) Edit: I almost forgot, the guy (also Asian) who shot me ended up becoming a doctor. Like this story just ended up having everything.
The fact that she thought it was credible enough to call out as exaggeration should be food for thought for people who think that this bit is "obvious" satire.
Goddamn, Indian families will actually trust your advice as a doctor. XD Chinese mom and dad will put onions in the cardinal directions cause WeChat told em before listening to the medical advice of their PH.D. graduate child.
As a Chinese Malaysian, we give/receive money when attending wedding, birthday, funeral, house warming, business opening, Chinese New Year, even after death (someone will burn the money for us) By the way, other than Gong Xi Fa Cai, we have dozens of greetings to say during Chinese New Year, which are all related to money 🤣
LOL jokes aside Money is everything as well as nothing. The deeper meaning to this culture of money is the experience of hardship, poverty and just to fill the stomach. While i also experience the same thing i got to experience first hand if you don't have money our family literally were only eating vegetables and salty fish for meals. Its more of a community getting together to gather enough money so that their son's can get married as well as a small sum of seed money to feed the family. Later on as the economy gets better and upward social mobility becomes much easier the Younger generation no longer experience Poverty and started to question as to why Money is so important. As for moving up the social ladder and becoming a Doctor well what is wrong with moving up the social ladder? But for those who grew up in poverty its the quickest way and ticket to provide a better life and future. But as we our Wages and quality of life goes higher younger generation not faced with the same living experience and condition wouldn't understand. They think when they are born life is so comfortable. But again Money isn't everything. However without it you cannot even donate to charity even if you want to. Look at the current condition today with the Pandemic out of control. My heart aches when i see many desperate people selling food on the streets trying to get by just to ensure their kids get fed. Its about how you choose to spend Money when you have it and its about survival when you don't.
As a Filipino, I agree even though most of us (including myself) were pushed to be nurses as this is our passport to go to Western countries and earn more.

Very true for some families. People want their children to get into a profession to take other people's money as much as possible, along with having prestige and power. It's not about finding a calling or what the child would enjoy doing in life. It's about the responsibility of earning and taking care of the family. Money, prestige and power are considered the main factors required to secure stability and prosperity for the family.
Happy Chinese New Year. Good luck and good health. --- this is the tradition way to greet others during new year. untill hongkong culture started spreading in 80s. it is a fact too.
Everything he said about the Chinese culture and parents is also 100% applicable for Indian culture and parents 😂 1. Parents wanting their kids to become doctor - Check 2. For prestige & money and not helping people - Check 3. Impossible to convince your parents to visit a doctor - Check 4. Have a god of money - Check (Goddess Laxmi)
This is so true. As a Chinese person, I’ve been saying this for years. Chinese people have an obsession with money, and it can be pretty unhealthy if taken to the extreme.

2 reasons of why Asian parents want their children to become doctors: to get money and to get their children to be doctors for them for free in the future
Not Asian but when I was studying premed my parents were setting me up to do the same thing. It starts with jokes about it but then they're calling you in the office about a flu.
Asian Parents want the “set”: A doctor, a lawyer, an engineer and a business person. For the last 2, Engineer if you’re Indian, Business person if you’re Chinese.
As one with chinese roots, I can confirm that. BUT most of the chinese gesture sayings must not be translated literally. It would as u can see just sound funny. Those "special cultural best wishes" can just be summed up as kindness and goodwill toward u. For Chinese and also for Japanese the symbolic meaning is very important.
Ronny Chieng does a great show, mixing humor & satire with social commentary. Original and really hilarious. My family is Italian on both sides and we are just one tent away from a full-blown circus, so even not being Asian, I could relate to a lot of Ronny’s humor.
The Chinese obsession with wealth is ingrained into the culture. In my time, which is a long time ago, we learned how to gamble before even stepping foot in school. The elders are not bothered by it because it's good to use your brains and sometimes it takes 4 punters. People asked why math is our thing, this is one of the reasons.
I am Bangladeshi and I can confirm that he is 100% correct. My dad hates doctors with his life, though my parents wished I would be a doctor. My mom still regrets because I never tried to go to medical college.
"Everyday we go like: "Hey, God of Money... gives us money." And he gives us more money. Very fickle god. Doesn't care about inflation." If that's the case, so I'll convert to Chinese Taoism. Gong Xi Fa Cai, everyone.
I love how the audience sounded uncomfortable when he said Chinese people love money. Must have been the "woke" white people. After living in China for 15 years and having a Chinese family here .....I can say "Chinese people looooooove money"!
Not to mention the absolute sharks they can be in mahjong. They smell the money in the water from 5 miles away. My grand aunt was an absolute savage at the table.
what he say 100% correct 😂😂 my dad want me to be a doctor or a nurse at least, but since I was a kid, my dad hate so much to go hospital and see doctor. then I ask him, “so will u hate me when I become a doctor?” he stare me for a long time. yea dad, I get it.
Living in China I can attest to this 1000%. My wife is Chinese and although she doesn’t enjoy most stand up comedy, she was howling over this set. Guy is hilarious!
Being a Latin... I'm telling you... These Boomers don't know what the hell they're doing. It's all a big theatrical stage to them! They just want fame and prestige... Nothing real! Imagine if everyone was a doctor.... Then who would make the food, the cars, the tv's, the clothes, the electricity, etc etc etc. We need farmers, technicians, engineers,.... Whatever! This is one of the biggest flaws of Capitalism. Everyone is pursuing that goddamn metal and paper and forgetting the most important things in life. And btw, being from a Socialist country, the public sector is like devouring the private sector to the point that we barely make food to sustain the native population. Everyone wants that prestige and image. And guess what, doctors don't create wealth, they don't sell anything. Other than their labor... And that is almost like selling air. I've yet to meet a person that wants to be a farmer. It's really insane. Btw our countries share a common ancestry of friendship... So allow me to send my compliments to India and their amazing people.
Only foreign students my country Georgia has, are Indians who study medicine. Once I went to cinema to watch Avengers and it was full of Indian students.

Showed this to my mother, she thought it was funny, though mentioned that the part about being shot with an arrow was exaggeration.
Then I remind her the time I got shot in the head by some kid's homemade bow & arrow and they decided to not take me to the hospital, despite a doctor there saying that wound would require at least 5 stitches. (end up not going to the hospital, but since I recovered it's all good)
Edit: I almost forgot, the guy (also Asian) who shot me ended up becoming a doctor. Like this story just ended up having everything.
It just means she thinks of her own body differently. No contradiction there.
She just wanted you to be stronger...maybe in the future you can stop real arrows. :)
The fact that she thought it was credible enough to call out as exaggeration should be food for thought for people who think that this bit is "obvious" satire.
😂😂😂😂
Indian wants their kids to be a doctor because they don't want to spend money on seeing other doctors 😂😂 u will get free health care at home✌🏻
True....😂😂😂😂
Goddamn, Indian families will actually trust your advice as a doctor. XD Chinese mom and dad will put onions in the cardinal directions cause WeChat told em before listening to the medical advice of their PH.D. graduate child.
Mexicans are not very different. (I'm mexican)
Hey, ENGINEERING is first on the list. I think every Indian family have 2 to 3 engineer in the family
And they are the worst doctors ever
I nearly spat out my water when he said “Asian parents are the last group of people you can convince to see a doctor” 😂
it's true ..
Mexicans, Indians, many other groups are the last group of people you can convince to see a doctor.
I've watched this like a 100 times and it still never gets old 😂
beside the jokes, his mimic and gesture are incredibly structured perfectly
His delivery is top notch

He has a different kind of delivery and energy, love it.
As a Chinese Malaysian, we give/receive money when attending wedding, birthday, funeral, house warming, business opening, Chinese New Year, even after death (someone will burn the money for us)
By the way, other than Gong Xi Fa Cai, we have dozens of greetings to say during Chinese New Year, which are all related to money 🤣
😂😂😂
🤣🤣 they have trillion dollar fake bills to burn
Yes, I can't believe he missed that opportunity of fitting in the burning of money as well.
You have same rituals as Indians 😂
LOL jokes aside Money is everything as well as nothing. The deeper meaning to this culture of money is the experience of hardship, poverty and just to fill the stomach. While i also experience the same thing i got to experience first hand if you don't have money our family literally were only eating vegetables and salty fish for meals.
Its more of a community getting together to gather enough money so that their son's can get married as well as a small sum of seed money to feed the family. Later on as the economy gets better and upward social mobility becomes much easier the Younger generation no longer experience Poverty and started to question as to why Money is so important.
As for moving up the social ladder and becoming a Doctor well what is wrong with moving up the social ladder? But for those who grew up in poverty its the quickest way and ticket to provide a better life and future. But as we our Wages and quality of life goes higher younger generation not faced with the same living experience and condition wouldn't understand. They think when they are born life is so comfortable.
But again Money isn't everything. However without it you cannot even donate to charity even if you want to. Look at the current condition today with the Pandemic out of control. My heart aches when i see many desperate people selling food on the streets trying to get by just to ensure their kids get fed.
Its about how you choose to spend Money when you have it and its about survival when you don't.

I didn’t laugh or chuckle because what Ronnie just said was just straight facts. I did crack a slight grin, because a lot of people don't understand what American/English sarcasm is.
恭喜发财Hope you get rich everyone.
uhm ... that will cause inflation.
But isn’t that what makes us laugh? 😂
That's what supposed to make it funny, the fact that it's true
Faizal Yacob inflation is a good thing, too much money, just make sure you are selling stuff at that time. And you are buying during recession.
I guess that's just facts for the very southern part of China and southeast Asia. At least from Beijing all the way to Shanghai, I heard much more 'Happy New Year' than 'Hope you get rich'. But the fact doesn't matter that much here, he is funny!
and he did not mention that his surname "Chieng" or "Qian"(钱）, also means money...

The way he ended with "Gong xi fa cai" was fire. Not just comedy it's facts too.
Very true for some families. People want their children to get into a profession to take other people's money as much as possible, along with having prestige and power. It's not about finding a calling or what the child would enjoy doing in life. It's about the responsibility of earning and taking care of the family. Money, prestige and power are considered the main factors required to secure stability and prosperity for the family.
"you BETTER hope that I get rich."
Lmao

to a chinese ... these ain jokes
they are all true. but its still funny ... coz ... i don know to chinese its just Fact for us
Nope I'm Chinese and it's funny af!!!
I think that's true for all the asians except the new year greeting of hoping to get rich.

2. For prestige & money and not helping people - Check
3. Impossible to convince your parents to visit a doctor - Check
4. Have a god of money - Check (Goddess Laxmi)

2 reasons of why Asian parents want their children to become doctors: to get money and to get their children to be doctors for them for free in the future
Lol, my parents rather eat onion or do some advices from Facebook than actually hearing advices from PhD graduate son.
They at least want to have someone in the family to be one lol
Not Asian but when I was studying premed my parents were setting me up to do the same thing. It starts with jokes about it but then they're calling you in the office about a flu.
@@LongVu-lh9el is this even true 😂?
second reason only applies for south asian parents, east asian parents will refuse to see a doctor even if their child is a doctor haha
Asian Parents want the “set”: A doctor, a lawyer, an engineer and a business person. For the last 2, Engineer if you’re Indian, Business person if you’re Chinese.
not wrong bro haha. The alternative to buisnessman is Banker for the chinesr
I think nowadays FAANG programmer's on the list as well.
Asian parents: You either become doctor or you become an adoption
😂😂😂
Oh no 💀
Well played.
you got it
Not Asian, but if I were Asian, be like "Fine, there are plenty of rich white people who will adopt me."
As one with chinese roots, I can confirm that.
BUT most of the chinese gesture sayings must not be translated literally. It would as u can see just sound funny.
Those "special cultural best wishes" can just be summed up as kindness and goodwill toward u.
For Chinese and also for Japanese the symbolic meaning is very important.

Ronny Chieng does a great show, mixing humor & satire with social commentary. Original and really hilarious. My family is Italian on both sides and we are just one tent away from a full-blown circus, so even not being Asian, I could relate to a lot of Ronny’s humor.
The Chinese obsession with wealth is ingrained into the culture. In my time, which is a long time ago, we learned how to gamble before even stepping foot in school. The elders are not bothered by it because it's good to use your brains and sometimes it takes 4 punters. People asked why math is our thing, this is one of the reasons.
I am Bangladeshi and I can confirm that he is 100% correct. My dad hates doctors with his life, though my parents wished I would be a doctor. My mom still regrets because I never tried to go to medical college.

White people who know that they're not supposed to be making that joke, don't know if they're allowed to laugh at that joke.

My childhood friend went through that. Her parents wanted her to be a Dr. or a lawyer. She chose the career path of becoming a Vet Dr.
That's like getting an A- and saying it's an A (at least in my house)
You mean an animal doctor?
I'd rather be a veterinarian then a regular doctor.
what he say 100% correct 😂😂 my dad want me to be a doctor or a nurse at least, but since I was a kid, my dad hate so much to go hospital and see doctor. then I ask him, “so will u hate me when I become a doctor?” he stare me for a long time. yea dad, I get it.
Living in China I can attest to this 1000%. My wife is Chinese and although she doesn’t enjoy most stand up comedy, she was howling over this set. Guy is hilarious!
I don’t think doctor is the go to profession in China. China prefers civil servant over all other professions.

Being a Latin... I'm telling you... These Boomers don't know what the hell they're doing. It's all a big theatrical stage to them! They just want fame and prestige... Nothing real! Imagine if everyone was a doctor.... Then who would make the food, the cars, the tv's, the clothes, the electricity, etc etc etc. We need farmers, technicians, engineers,.... Whatever! This is one of the biggest flaws of Capitalism. Everyone is pursuing that goddamn metal and paper and forgetting the most important things in life. And btw, being from a Socialist country, the public sector is like devouring the private sector to the point that we barely make food to sustain the native population. Everyone wants that prestige and image. And guess what, doctors don't create wealth, they don't sell anything. Other than their labor... And that is almost like selling air. I've yet to meet a person that wants to be a farmer. It's really insane.
Btw our countries share a common ancestry of friendship... So allow me to send my compliments to India and their amazing people.
