      Hello, I am your Ningbo fan. I have been following your Channel since you and your wife lived in Ningbo three years ago. Later, after you returned to the United States, I occasionally watched your videos. Welcome back to Ningbo. This is your second home. We had never talked or met before. I now have my own small international trade company, mainly engaged in Amazon BTC/BTB business. I'm glad that you can come back to work in China during the Canton Fair. If you have time and you are interested, we can meet and chat and maybe there will be opportunities for cooperation.

    Lots of happenings:
    - in Guangzhou, the next round of Canton Fair until early November.
    - in Urumqi and Kashgar (Xinjiang), the World Media Summit with surprising presence of the likes of Reuters and Al Jazeera (!)
    - Global South Think Tanks forum in Beijing in a few days.
    - World Buddhist Forum in Ningbo
    Prior to that, CIFIT in Xiamen, China-ASEAN Expo in Nanning (Guangxi), China-South Asia Expo in Kunming, World AI Summit in Zhejiang province, CIFTIS in Beijing and China-Eurasia Expo in Urumqi (Xinjiang), and other events we missed out 😅😅😅😅

    Ah ha, at 0:50, I recognized the hotel by the seawall; it's the 'Dike Hotel.' In the spring and autumn, my wife and I often go to the beach in Lingang to watch birds, and we stay at that hotel. The restaurant on the top floor has a nice view. The east-facing rooms offer beautiful sunrises, while the west-facing rooms have views of many ducks and other water birds in the pond.
    Welcome back!

    I was away from , Chengdu, China for 15 years so you can imagine how much it has changed for me. I lost 45 pounds when when I had to do radiation and chemo in 2018 and they had me taking Boost very high calorie when I had to take my nutrients through a feeding tube.

    China's speed of progress is like trying to catch up lost opportunities in the past 100 years.. It is like EV car that is unknown in the past 10 years then suddenly selling more than 30 millions in one year.

    Thank you for your video. I am your old fan 3 years ago. I misunderstand you; I am sorry. Poor judgment on me. I am a Chinese settled in Texas over 33 years. My hobby to watch the traveler in China and watch their videos. It is part of my life. I am a true Texan now.
