I was there at the library last October with my family and we had a wonderful time at the magnificent library. Folks like the serpent have gone mad literally, they have run out of their BS for good.
Serpenza is such a disgrace on S.African's reputation, felt sorry for his Chinese wife and her side of families that helped Serpenza so much when he escaped S.Africa and got nowhere to go, her family helped him to settle down and assimilate later quickly, now all for this mouthpiece spewing lies and hatred against not Chinese government, but Chinese as whole, so shameful.
I have met a young couple in Thailand not long ago. They were from US and flow to Singapore and they were traveling from Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and then to Cambodia and Vietnam and before going back to US. We have happened to have a casual friendly conversation and I have asked them since they are so near to China, why not go to China just for a few days to see China. I told them China is very interesting. But I was surprised of what they told me. They said according to all their media reports in US and advice by their government and many other people. They were advice and told not to travel to China. Even their parents don't allow them to go to China. They were told China is not a safe country to travel. Very dirty, poor rundown infrastructures, poor transportation system, polluted, homeless people are everywhere waiting to rob tourists are common even in broad daylight. Chances of been detained for no reason by the Communist government is very high. Because China is an authoritarian state and all foreign visitors are monitored by thousands of cameras everywhere and every minute where foreign visitors go. Foreign visitors from western countries can be detained for months or even years for no reason. All these is what they know about China. The couple is like below 25 years of age and already so badly brainwashed by their government and controlled media. This is really sad.
My sister has a friend who is a German. He had the same kind of "brain washed" perspective of China as well. He came to visit my sister in Taiwan last December. They went to Hong Kong, and ShenZheng. He was so surprised(even shocked) to know what he believed was wrong. When I asked him should I go to ShenZeng, he said yes immediately without any hesitation. "It is an amazing and wonderful place.", he said. By the way, he has a p.h.D. and over 50 years old. Imagine with that kind of backgrounds, he could still be brain-washed. Sad. Of course, he isn't anymore now because he has seen China with his own eyes .
You are one of the few honest people from the Western world, with true integrity. One of the worst if not the worst anti-China UA-cam poster is some guy by the handle of “serpentza” (could be misspelled).

I don't care if the entire Western world thinks this library is fake. This is a library for Chinese people to use. The opinions of murderous Western genocidists and imperialists don't matter here. Even the praise of friendly tourists (like Gene Williams) don't matter here. Only the actual users, who enjoy the library and have a nice peaceful read.
I didn't know that a Chinese Library would cause such big attention!! Like, everything China does is a topic to talk about now??? It's just a Library, there isn't anything political but those people had to make it something against China, that is pathetic lol. Great video Gwiz.
It was china that made books political by censoring and banning so many. Every single publisher from the USA has complaints about their censorship and banning of american books, All of them. So if youre gonna say you got the biggest best library in the world, then its not about the fake books on the wall, how open it is, the art, how nice it is, but the actual books, what books do they have there? All he did was say the books were painted on the wall, and this guy proved they are painted on the wall... If he wants to prove its a real library its very easy go in and show us a list of I dunno, just 10 books that are classics.. death of a salesman, alice in wonderland, Harry potter, catcher in the rye, ulysses, the master and margarita, the bell jar.. add some political ones on top like mein kampf, 1984, or maybe something that people would give them a break for banning but check anyway like lolita etc... If Japan built such a big library you would expect a reviewer to do the same, not film some fake books on a wall and tell us its a real library by showing us 5 real books.
Wow. This is massive. Thanks for the report.❤ It's pathetic that someone who has never been to the place is spreading lies about it and winning clicks. Pathetic.
You did a good job exposing the 'chinese haters'. Thanks for the amazing library which I wouldn't have known. That Chinese Hater, pls do something useful in life😜
Those people actually know the truth and they just want to make money. Europeans and Americans who have been brainwashed by Western media are very willing to pay these scammers, just like Gordon G. Chang
Very nice video. Great to see both the overall library building and the cultural center location along with more details. Showing the people in the reading rooms and details of the artworks really made your points clear. Well produced and easy to follow along. Thanks!
0:45 I actually told that guy to watch the video with the title: 4K Nikon P1000 Birds in the parks, Shenzhen, China. 尼康 P1000 深圳洪湖公園觀鳥 He did watched the video and replied that those birds flew to Shenzhen from Hong Kong
Are you saying that there is actually someone out there that some random birds have knowledge about politics and land porders and even decide to fly to specific spots just to be recorded by foreigners? 😂
Mate, I love it. "China builds it in REAL life, USA puts it in Movies". How true is that!!!! China's Civic Infrastructures are 100 years ahead of any other country, and the Civic Services are so cheap/free that they do not need much money to live a good comfortable Middle Class life styles.Irrespective of what you say about freedom and human rights, that's the type of government for the people. A government that looks after the well being of its own people and not the opposite as the west meddling and killing of people of other nations.The United States brought bombs to the world, and China brought development and infrastructure to the world.
@@Jamaicafunk Perhaps so, and in that he is not alone. I appreciate that you seem keep politics and cheap shots out of your videos, which is refreshing.
I don't remember this library. I may have seen a picture of this before. But just to try to discredit it seems kind of desperate. Not everything needs to be designed by local architect. IM Pei was from China. He designed plenty of western structures.
@@Jamaicafunk In a good way, this got some free press and some people may search for this. The picture I saw was a bookstore named Dujiangyan Zhongshuge in Chengdu, China.
@@Jamaicafunk UA-cam is weird. Some of the posts disappeared. All I posted was the picture I saw was another bookstore in China. I think the name is Dujiangyan Zhongshuge
I personally went to this library in Tianjin a few years ago, this have very large book reading areas, and many multifunction rooms, very well equipped with high tech too.
I guess one man's lies is another man's truth. The problem (for China) with Serptenza is that he brings credentials of actually living in China for many years to the table, which most pro-China western UA-camrs cannot claim.
Thanks fortrue reporting about China Tianjin city great library (Binhai) (which is 136.9 km to Beijing). Please ignore those liars. It is a waste of time.
Very interesting and informative, Gene. Really enjoyed the tour and narrative. I guess it's a twofold being an actual library and an art exhibit. Cool. Stay well, my brother. Peace.😊

Right. Here's another saying I came across recently. 'It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends on his not understanding it'
Absolutely I have and there are lots of great English titles in it. I normally go to the TEDA library when my schedule allows but now my schedule is too tight. I'm at the science and technology uni on 13th street. Also worked for Web in Binhai but only for two months before it closed. lol@@Jamaicafunk
China is sure eye opening for me in 2019, been brainwashed for so long in Norway about how bad China is this and that, meet my wife in 2014 and actually travel with her to China for 9 months, been all over China. What a amazing place, it's so safe and people are so nice. Because of Covid, i haven't been back to China for 4y, but we plan yo go back this year. My wife try to convince me to retired in China, why not. It's so social and her father playing majong with his friends and he is teaching me to play it😂 It's something about China that's truly peaceful, hard to explain. You have all those people dancing outside at night,enjoying socially with each other,even if you don't know them. The small food stand at night, the night life for me is something special.
There are many cooperation projects with foreign architectural firms in China, but the general cooperation model is that the foreign architectural firms are only responsible for the design of the architectural plan, while the preliminary design and construction drawing design (including architecture, structure, and equipment) are all done by local Chinese Architectural Design Institute completed. Under the impact of the Internet, it is difficult for pure libraries and bookstores to survive in China. Therefore, libraries and bookstores must be equipped with entertainment, fast food, popular science education, retail and other facilities to increase income. However, the core functions of libraries and bookstores remain exist.
THat's make sense, there are dedicated rooms to study and real books for people who need them. You won't risk to put real books anywhere in the hall or even in some places where they are not reachable. Like in a restaurant or fast food , you won't put real meals in the entrance or on the wall but just some pictures of them. Real foods are in the kitchen and people are sitting inside where there are tables and facilities to consume.
With so many books published in environmentally friendly digital form, libraries are gradually transitioning to museums and coffee shops and this is an example of that gentle transition.
There is another fantastic place in Binhai Tianjin is the 'National Maritime Museum of China', which is a must place to go and very popular among all the children in China. Many people in Beijing will come to the museum during weekends to see the epic museum and buy some gems from the gift shop.
I mean at this stage I'm already numb to all those lies about China, but it is very dangerous for the next generation of western youth. I once had a college kid asking me do you have KFC in China...My eyes literally rolled over my brain... Thanks for the video though, I need to go visit this library next time I'm back to China.
You are an educated person with independent mind，and consider your age，you took education in U.S. Golden Age. So there is something wrong with the American education system now.
You are the best bro !! All we can do is speak the truth & spread positivity .. the world need more people like you , more so now then ever . Keep it up !!
Unfortunately a lot of people in a lot of places have gotten away from facts. I wonder if that guy says such things about all the museums / libraries in the West. Gwiz, what is the Chinee comic book culture like? Are they widely read and popular, do adults read them, etc?
yeah, the uploader appears to be a piece of shit or a useful idiot. Don't believe the CCP is not responsible for this, look at the comments they're filled with shills.
Thank you for revealing the facts behind Anti-China videos, it's always useful & informative. Sometimes, those video can be convincing even for people who don't hate China. Appreciate the effort. It's cool that a library is made into lively spot with great photo op, making it trendy to at least step into the library & eliminating any remaining stigma for book nerds going to the library. I know for sure my dad would love taking tons of photo there!
My new local library, like this one in Tianjin, China, is a more of an architectural monument-piece than a real traditional functioning library. It doesn't look like a library of old from the outside and from the inside where rows of books were front and center. I think it's a trend across the world that municipal buildings, especially ones that attach cultural significance, are designed as a monumental piece to represent the city's modernity, identity and culture. Functional use is often relegated to second place. And since most people get their knowledge online anyway, public libraries are now re-imagined or re-purposed as a mixed-use of culture, creativeness, amenity, and not just a place for pure knowledge-seeking.
I partially agree with your assessment - this particular library is an architectural masterpiece; in terms of reading and research, it's borderline useless. However, I disagree that this phenomenon is common, at least in the west. Most libraries I have visited that contain Instagram-worthy spaces, such as the main library in New York or the Long Room at Trinity College in Dublin, have actual, working libraries located below, away from the tourists. Is that missing from this library?
It's definitely not on the same level as the NY Library on 5th. That's a research library in the most classic sense.. (although they have modernized it with tech over the years)@@davidgmaloof
Visited this place back in 2018. The only thing I can remember of this library now is that the location is a bit far away from the city center. Like others have said, this place is more monumental than functional. In fact, Tianjin has at least three government funded city libraries where I have rent quite some books before. Now that I have switched to e-books and experienced the pandemic I seldom visit that place since I can get almost all information though online database and I am also kind of trying to avoid unnecessary contact with strangers for fear of catching some unknown virus😷
Understandable. Most people will likely use e-books online. But for a nice afternoon out with the kids... I'd recommend it. Anything that can help promote literacy to young people is OK in my book.
I remember enjoying the travel videos that Serpentza and Laowai used to make during their motorcycle tours around China. They were informative and insightful. I don't know exactly why they had to leave China, but it is what it is. I watch their new stuff once in a while and it's pretty awful. I've been living in Guangzhou since 2004 and I've had a good time here so far. I like your content and I'm looking forward to watching more. Cheers!
@jamaicafunk Hello fellow to my New Yorker from Taiwan. Glad to see that you are kicking. Let us take a monent to ask why the source you based part of this video on is being vided my most. People who follow a certain narrative mainly consume content that confirms their biases. Also, most of them are ONLY willing to accept confirmation for their biases from sources they admire or want to emulate. I should also mention that content from those who look like "US" may not be considered "admired" sources even if we bring provable "receipts." Now, on the other hand, we can't be naive concerning the things we hear and see from third parties or in front of us. There are "lies" on all sides!
What’s up James. Good to see you. Yea, the thing is, it’s easier now to fact check what’s out there than ever regardless of who it’s coming from. The real problem is people are too lazy to do it… or they’re afraid of what they’ll find.
I was there at the library last October with my family and we had a wonderful time at the magnificent library. Folks like the serpent have gone mad literally, they have run out of their BS for good.
They are mad because China could come up with such innovative ideas for a library and so he had to fabricate some lies about it.

If he wants to prove its a real library its very easy go in and show us a list of I dunno, just 10 books that are classics.. death of a salesman, alice in wonderland, Harry potter, catcher in the rye, ulysses, the master and margarita, the bell jar.. add some political ones on top like mein kampf, 1984, or maybe something that people would give them a break for banning but check anyway like lolita etc... If Japan built such a big library you would expect a reviewer to do the same, not film some fake books on a wall and tell us its a real library by showing us 5 real books.
It's almost like Trump derangement syndrome lol.
Thanks for showing us around who have not been able to get to China yet. I do plan to go there to see the country myself. Cheers heaps
My pleasure. Thanks for the comment.
Wow. This is massive. Thanks for the report.❤
It's pathetic that someone who has never been to the place is spreading lies about it and winning clicks. Pathetic.
Ah well...It's his gig..Thanks
What an eye opener Library! Wow! Thanks for sharing.
Sure. You're welcome.
You did a good job exposing the 'chinese haters'. Thanks for the amazing library which I wouldn't have known. That Chinese Hater, pls do something useful in life😜
🙏
Those people actually know the truth and they just want to make money. Europeans and Americans who have been brainwashed by Western media are very willing to pay these scammers, just like Gordon G. Chang
Very nice video. Great to see both the overall library building and the cultural center location along with more details. Showing the people in the reading rooms and details of the artworks really made your points clear. Well produced and easy to follow along. Thanks!
🙏🏾 I appreciate that.
0:45 I actually told that guy to watch the video with the title:
4K Nikon P1000 Birds in the parks, Shenzhen, China. 尼康 P1000 深圳洪湖公園觀鳥
He did watched the video and replied that those birds flew to Shenzhen from Hong Kong
🤣They can never admit when they'r caught in a lie. Always an excuse. It's called 'I'm white and I say so!'
Are you saying that there is actually someone out there that some random birds have knowledge about politics and land porders and even decide to fly to specific spots just to be recorded by foreigners? 😂
Mate, I love it. "China builds it in REAL life, USA puts it in Movies". How true is that!!!! China's Civic Infrastructures are 100 years ahead of any other country, and the Civic Services are so cheap/free that they do not need much money to live a good comfortable Middle Class life styles.Irrespective of what you say about freedom and human rights, that's the type of government for the people. A government that looks after the well being of its own people and not the opposite as the west meddling and killing of people of other nations.The United States brought bombs to the world, and China brought development and infrastructure to the world.

Actually, he makes his arguments very well.
@@davidgmaloofwhat arguments?? It's all lies and BS ..
He stretches the truths, and makes gross generalizations@@davidgmaloof
@@Jamaicafunk Perhaps so, and in that he is not alone. I appreciate that you seem keep politics and cheap shots out of your videos, which is refreshing.
@@davidgmaloof oh. I could go there if I wanted. Cheap shots are a part of being a New Yorker.
You should have more subscribers. Love your videos. Please keep them coming.

I don't remember this library. I may have seen a picture of this before. But just to try to discredit it seems kind of desperate. Not everything needs to be designed by local architect. IM Pei was from China. He designed plenty of western structures.
it's western ego.
@@Jamaicafunk In a good way, this got some free press and some people may search for this. The picture I saw was a bookstore named Dujiangyan Zhongshuge in Chengdu, China.
@@Jamaicafunk UA-cam is weird. Some of the posts disappeared. All I posted was the picture I saw was another bookstore in China. I think the name is Dujiangyan Zhongshuge
I personally went to this library in Tianjin a few years ago, this have very large book reading areas, and many multifunction rooms, very well equipped with high tech too.
Thanks for chiming in. 👍🏾
I am glad you did a video about this, that Serptenza guy is really getting annoying with all the misinformation.
I guess one man's lies is another man's truth. The problem (for China) with Serptenza is that he brings credentials of actually living in China for many years to the table, which most pro-China western UA-camrs cannot claim.
Thanks for watching. 🙏
Thanks fortrue reporting about China Tianjin city great library (Binhai) (which is 136.9 km to Beijing).
Please ignore those liars. It is a waste of time.
It's not a waste of time. A big salute to Gwiz for debunking the lie.
Thank you for telling the truth. The world needs more brave and honest men like you.
Very interesting and informative, Gene. Really enjoyed the tour and narrative. I guess it's a twofold being an actual library and an art exhibit. Cool. Stay well, my brother. Peace.😊
Thanks man. ✌
Good way to refute Serpentza anti-China propaganda. Thanks!!

Absolutely I have and there are lots of great English titles in it. I normally go to the TEDA library when my schedule allows but now my schedule is too tight. I'm at the science and technology uni on 13th street. Also worked for Web in Binhai but only for two months before it closed. lol@@Jamaicafunk

You're welcome. Thanks.
China is sure eye opening for me in 2019, been brainwashed for so long in Norway about how bad China is this and that, meet my wife in 2014 and actually travel with her to China for 9 months, been all over China. What a amazing place, it's so safe and people are so nice. Because of Covid, i haven't been back to China for 4y, but we plan yo go back this year. My wife try to convince me to retired in China, why not. It's so social and her father playing majong with his friends and he is teaching me to play it😂 It's something about China that's truly peaceful, hard to explain. You have all those people dancing outside at night,enjoying socially with each other,even if you don't know them. The small food stand at night, the night life for me is something special.
👍
Amazing looking library
Thank you 👍
There are many cooperation projects with foreign architectural firms in China, but the general cooperation model is that the foreign architectural firms are only responsible for the design of the architectural plan, while the preliminary design and construction drawing design (including architecture, structure, and equipment) are all done by local Chinese Architectural Design Institute completed. Under the impact of the Internet, it is difficult for pure libraries and bookstores to survive in China. Therefore, libraries and bookstores must be equipped with entertainment, fast food, popular science education, retail and other facilities to increase income. However, the core functions of libraries and bookstores remain exist.

Thanks for a fact check video like this.
Two thumbs up!
Only 2? Damn. Can you add a few more fingers? I could use 'em...🙏
kEEP up the Great Work Jamaica Funk
🙏
the lying serpent is insane
Honestly the interior of the library building would still look cool without the fake book wallpaper.
I agree.
THat's make sense, there are dedicated rooms to study and real books for people who need them.
You won't risk to put real books anywhere in the hall or even in some places where they are not reachable.
Like in a restaurant or fast food , you won't put real meals in the entrance or on the wall but just some pictures of them.
Real foods are in the kitchen and people are sitting inside where there are tables and facilities to consume.
👍🏻👍🏻
as long as there are a strong anti china and chinese sentiment, those youtubers will forever be flourishing
They aren't going anywhere.
Nice one for debung those haters...
🙏🏾
Good work. Thanks for showing the world the real Binhai Library.
It's my pleasure
like I thought, the main hall was essentially a lobby for the actual library on the sides.
With so many books published in environmentally friendly digital form, libraries are gradually transitioning to museums and coffee shops and this is an example of that gentle transition.
Good point. 👍🏾
You have a heart of gold !❤❤❤
Really?... What's the going exchange rate on gold these days?🤔
Thank you so much for standing up for the truth! 👍🏼

There is another fantastic place in Binhai Tianjin is the 'National Maritime Museum of China', which is a must place to go and very popular among all the children in China. Many people in Beijing will come to the museum during weekends to see the epic museum and buy some gems from the gift shop.
Thanks for the info. 🙏🏾
I mean at this stage I'm already numb to all those lies about China, but it is very dangerous for the next generation of western youth.
I once had a college kid asking me do you have KFC in China...My eyes literally rolled over my brain...
Thanks for the video though, I need to go visit this library next time I'm back to China.
You are an educated person with independent mind，and consider your age，you took education in U.S. Golden Age.
So there is something wrong with the American education system now.
Thanks.. I'm 25. 🤥

Thanks for sharing.
same face filter that makes me look like a 16 year old Chinese girl. 😆
Glad , this world have good man like you.

Unfortunately a lot of people in a lot of places have gotten away from facts. I wonder if that guy says such things about all the museums / libraries in the West. Gwiz, what is the Chinee comic book culture like? Are they widely read and popular, do adults read them, etc?
I'm hoping to explore the Chinese comic book culture soon... There's a place in Chengdu...

library was designed by German and Chinese architects.
It’s realistic, why would you ever put books where nobody could reach.
yeah, the uploader appears to be a piece of shit or a useful idiot. Don't believe the
CCP is not responsible for this, look at the comments they're filled with shills.
What city is this huge library located ? It’s eyes opening.
Tianjin.
Thank you for revealing the facts behind Anti-China videos, it's always useful & informative.
Sometimes, those video can be convincing even for people who don't hate China.
Appreciate the effort.
It's cool that a library is made into lively spot with great photo op, making it trendy to at least step into the library & eliminating any remaining stigma for book nerds going to the library.
I know for sure my dad would love taking tons of photo there!
Exactly. You get it. 👍🏾
Thank you so much! ❤
Thank you.
I've been too! There are real and fake books
They also forget there's a library inside too
Few videos I've seen have actually shown that.

Thank you too!
My new local library, like this one in Tianjin, China, is a more of an architectural monument-piece than a real traditional functioning library. It doesn't look like a library of old from the outside and from the inside where rows of books were front and center. I think it's a trend across the world that municipal buildings, especially ones that attach cultural significance, are designed as a monumental piece to represent the city's modernity, identity and culture. Functional use is often relegated to second place. And since most people get their knowledge online anyway, public libraries are now re-imagined or re-purposed as a mixed-use of culture, creativeness, amenity, and not just a place for pure knowledge-seeking.
I partially agree with your assessment - this particular library is an architectural masterpiece; in terms of reading and research, it's borderline useless. However, I disagree that this phenomenon is common, at least in the west. Most libraries I have visited that contain Instagram-worthy spaces, such as the main library in New York or the Long Room at Trinity College in Dublin, have actual, working libraries located below, away from the tourists. Is that missing from this library?
Anything that promotes and advocates literacy is ok in my book.
It's definitely not on the same level as the NY Library on 5th. That's a research library in the most classic sense.. (although they have modernized it with tech over the years)@@davidgmaloof
I’ve just put Tianjin in my bucket list
🪣🙏🏾
Visited this place back in 2018. The only thing I can remember of this library now is that the location is a bit far away from the city center. Like others have said, this place is more monumental than functional. In fact, Tianjin has at least three government funded city libraries where I have rent quite some books before. Now that I have switched to e-books and experienced the pandemic I seldom visit that place since I can get almost all information though online database and I am also kind of trying to avoid unnecessary contact with strangers for fear of catching some unknown virus😷
Understandable. Most people will likely use e-books online. But for a nice afternoon out with the kids... I'd recommend it. Anything that can help promote literacy to young people is OK in my book.

I like this auditorium. The design is extra ordinary.
Poor little serpentza...lol.
I remember enjoying the travel videos that Serpentza and Laowai used to make during their motorcycle tours around China. They were informative and insightful. I don't know exactly why they had to leave China, but it is what it is. I watch their new stuff once in a while and it's pretty awful. I've been living in Guangzhou since 2004 and I've had a good time here so far. I like your content and I'm looking forward to watching more. Cheers!
They claimed they ‘escaped’. Another lie.
@@Jamaicafunk Well, in any case, I'm glad that I ran across your channel. You used to work for Web English?
@@idahomike4254 yes. My first 2 years in China were at Web’s in Tianjin, and Taicang. There are a couple of videos from those days on my channel.
@jamaicafunk Hello fellow to my New Yorker from Taiwan. Glad to see that you are kicking. Let us take a monent to ask why the source you based part of this video on is being vided my most. People who follow a certain narrative mainly consume content that confirms their biases. Also, most of them are ONLY willing to accept confirmation for their biases from sources they admire or want to emulate. I should also mention that content from those who look like "US" may not be considered "admired" sources even if we bring provable "receipts." Now, on the other hand, we can't be naive concerning the things we hear and see from third parties or in front of us. There are "lies" on all sides!
What’s up James. Good to see you. Yea, the thing is, it’s easier now to fact check what’s out there than ever regardless of who it’s coming from. The real problem is people are too lazy to do it… or they’re afraid of what they’ll find.
@@Jamaicafunk You are right in saying "they're afraid of what they'll find."
Very cool. I’ll keep it in my visit list. Thanks
I believe the Snake guy is not that stupid, he knows what happens but he still lies intentionally.
He just makes content for people he thinks are stupid.
