4:32 Fel, a gentle reminder it is considered 'rude' and 'impolite' to dip chopsticks with rice into sharing dishes. The rice residue inside the dish will shortened the shelf life of the dish. Aside from that, keep up with your good work ! Love hearing your conversations with the locals.
Its one thing to be welcomed as a stranger snooping around deep in the village😂 but to immediately be invited in for food, thats another level of hospitality. However I have a feeling that the fact that you speak Chinese very well has a lot to do with that. So you've more than earned the treatment. What a lovely lady!!!
This is literally like most African village life where even if you say you are full they will pack it for you to take...very nice to see so much similarities from people thousands of miles away.

@timurkral3781 not really. This is Chinese culture. It's not like here in the West where we move onto a new topic each time and get offended or annoyed when asked the same questions again and again. In China it's more like you'll be asked the same thing a few times as a way of expressing your feeling. For example let's say you got a girlfriend, they'll talk about that multiple times in a short time frame. Like "Oh she is so pretty" as a side comment if that makes sense. So they are talking without giving it much deep thought, it's an accompanying point to show their emotion. If you go to China and see hospitable people, you'll find people say "chi la" as in "eat" multiple times.
This can be said the same for Japan, Philippines and most Asian countries 😊 But of course, not all are like that but there are more people like this than in America.
It warmed my heart when she said "after studying, if you are able, come to China to see me". I really hope he comes back to visit her and brings her something
This is what is called old hospitality, and to welcome a complete stranger into one's home for a meal. No special occasion just friendship and hospitality and an opportunity to communicate. A mother's instinct is to feed and nurture and always over cooking and expect you to eat it all. God bless this wonderful mother and gentlemen.
The reason why one of the first things Chinese people (generally older) asks guests if they've eaten yet is because China went through famine and starvation for a period of time decades ago. They've lived through those years and understand the importance of food. They want to make sure that their guests/friends are never hungry.
Lol.. No man. This tradition goes back thousands of years, not a few decades. Asking if you've eaten as a form of greeting has been practiced across many dynasties.
Asking people whether one has eaten just like saying hi in the past thousands of years, nowadays it's more between older folks who know each other well.
As a German where hospitality is as rare of an occurence as a train that arrives on time, this is really mind-blowing and heart-warming for me to watch
I know some warm German people but very often the Common Impression is distant and distrust because it can become quiet Dangerous when people make Claims against you!
As an implant from the Caribbean to Germany ( Schwäbisch Alp ) I experienced such hospitality. It depends where you live and I live in a small village.
Generally i agree with you. But i have been living in Germany for a long time myself and i met many generous and warm hearted german here too… german are a bit cold in the beginning but once you get to know them, they are very honest, warm and loyal people❤
Do not forget to repay the kindness. If possible, take the time to visit again, and bring some souvenirs, such as frui or anyting else, before you leave the village. Not a must, but just to show your gratitude, and will be able to forge a better relationship in the future.
reminds me of the first time I went to China. I was at a mall and an old lady came to talk to me and gave me sweets. that was my introduction to China. my experience in China was amazing from then on, I even considered living there. I love and miss that country.
yeah and people out here in the US trying to make us hate asians and saying they deserve to get beat and be hated cause " They're all racist" I had Black friends go to China and get so much love and warmth...
2:50 makes me almost wanna cry. That warm question "你吃饭了没有？没吃我们家有饭吃“ (Have you eaten? Not eaten yet? We have food at our home here". This simple greeting culture that shows how a nation that been through starvation, but continue to generously offer food for anyone because they knows how it feels like to have no food and starved...
Wow. Thanks for enlightening us with this information. While I am sorry that they had to go through such horrible times, I am likewise almost in tears seeing that such love and generosity came out of it. I hope they may enjoy health and prosperity. What a beautiful culture.
It’s true. Back in the days of my grandma and grandpa, ppl starve becoz of war. Even my mother is not well fed when she was young. 8 ppl living in an insane tiny apartment in Hong Kong. When I go to primary school, invited my school firend some of them are Indian and Italian. My mom made a ton of food and force them to finished it😂
As a Chinese who only gets to visit home once every few years; this is an extremely accurate depiction of the more rural regions of the country. The people are immensely kind and many many front doors are just wide open - incredible sense of community. It's quite different from life in the cities - things are simpler and everyone is unbelievably warm. I guess we really do have a culture of feeding people hh. Thank you so much; I was smiling the whole way through the video.
That's why i think as UA-camrs we need to make more videos like this to show the reality in every country of how things really are. i'm just sorry when I lived in China I was too shy to make a UA-cam channel. But yes this is the real China
It's everywhere in the world. The people in rural area have exceptional love and respect to others also hospitable. It looks like money and materials brig out the worst of human kind
It’s clear to see she is a village mother of the old way. She didn’t want to see you hungry or the food go to waste! It was a God sent opportunity for you both to connect and break the stereotypes
@@FutaCatto2 🤣 Don't think that what your country looks like, other countries must be like that. Two thousand five hundred years ago, when Confucius proposed benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and trustworthiness, and Mozi proposed universal love and non aggression, you Europeans were still wearing open crotch pants.
My heart would be leaping through my chest but maan you've grown more balls while still being respectful to local people and culture!! Thanks for representing us Africans out there with your charm and good manners. Many African UA-camrs have decided to be disrespectful and call it fun just to get views.
Yes he is Ghanaian by his accent i can tell, we are quite humble people. Honestly though looks like the village people are more friendly and less racist. God bless this woman for her hospitality. May I always be kind to all no matter the treatment.
@@restlessfae2407 Slaves have existed since the beginning of civilizations, you didn't have to make it about african slaves specifically, the chinese empires have had eunuch slaves which had been kidnapped since young and castrated to serve the emperors for eternity. Asians have always had it worse.
She doesn't smile much, almost looks grumpy at times, but her action speaks louder than her expressions. 😂She's so kind and welcoming, and obviously very proud that they use ingredients they grow to make the foods they eat.
In the US, my Latina grandmother, God rest her soul, would sometimes invite people walking by her home to come in and eat. Grandfather would ask, “Who is this?” Grandmother would reply, “Oh it’s someone that walked by, they looked hungry.” (Conversation was in Spanish). These grandmothers though. Hearts of gold. 💛
As much hate and evil that is being pushed through the social media stream I still believe in love because of this video right here. She invited you in and asked if you’ve eaten yet 💙 The world and all of these different cultures are so fascinating and beautiful 🙌🏼
@@kudzai63 has nothing to do with god. 50 million chinese people died during the great famine so their greeting is 'have u eaten yet'? has nothing to do with a sky fairy.
Im Zambian and I lived in China for 6 years and I can’t count the number of times I was invited to eat with strangers !! The older ones always ask if you have eaten and are so quick to feed you😂… racism still exists in China but such people make it a better place ❤
Those uneducated Chinese (she mentioned she can't read in the video) can be the most simple people you can find. It is sad racism still exists, especially toward the black.
@@wakkaka yes I have,the most racist people in China are male… and I’ve experienced it from kids too but it’s passed down to them,otherwise it’s not intentional with the kids
Bro I just went to China for the first time 2 weeks ago and came back to New Zealand last week and the hospitality there for people who look like us (I'm Fijian) is insane, like I feel more like a human in China than I do in New Zealand, especially when I'm in the white areas. In China, they treat you like a human, and it seems like it's the case for all of China. They're aren't divided about skin color, race, religious differences, gender, pro nouns, and politics unlike the west which explains why they've become so much more advanced than the west. We can take a lot of notes from the Chinese people. I have Chinese bloodline from my great grand father so I just feel a deeper sense of loyalty for China at this point. The hospitality I received despite communication barrier is making me want to learn mandarin, and do business with the Chinese.
I've been studying Chinese philosophy for almost a year. And I'm pretty sure that all the love they have in them come from some of their ancient philosophies, especially Confucianism. Their virtue is based on treating others better then yourself, and only then would you be consider a human being. To be human, is to engage with love towards another, and only then you can become a human being and understand who you really are. It just shows us how much loveable Chinese people can be despite the still bad facade that we often and sadly sees from medias.
i am chinese , and most of what you say is true, but just to temper your expectations a little bit ,there will always be some people who aren't that friendly with you.
@dontdie777 - If you had an above average IQ you would get what I mean. That's why school is important. Maybe you are used to welfare checks and freeloading. Most likely you wouldn't dish out loads of food to a stranger in your country, you just want to take advantage of other people. Beggar mentality is toxic. Self discipline is very important. I refuse money and other stuff when I don't need it, and I make sure to pay back everything that I owe. I certainly don't like being dependent on other people. How long will you stay in your mum's basement, grow up. People are not attracted to beggars, they are attracted to people with values.
Wow, you are awesome. I hope my Chinese can be as good as yours soon, Fel. That Chinese lady is so kind. Village Chinese people are the best. I had this interaction while living in a village during my first year in China.
This was a propaganda piece, especially since he is from "Ghana". They are definitely investing in Ghana because of the resources currently. I would bet half these people commenting are bots.😊
@@drunkeroc and you are?! A sad and mindless bigot? Can you just crawl back to the dark corner where you are from and just STFU with all your negativity.
@@drunkerocsmh. Get help with ur western propaganda bs. This is really common in their culture, whenever ur hungry they will invite u to eat at a restaurant or at home.
This lady is sooo sooo sweet. I’m so happy there are kind people in China willing to invite us as blacks in thier home to eat a meal and treat us as human beings. The last I heard Africans were being forced to sleep in the streets. I was so sadden by this. Watching from the USA 🇺🇸 as an African American. I Love this lady.
Bro,before 2012, Chinese people were not hostile to foreigners. Due to changes in the international situation, this hostility only appeared in the past ten years. The media in every country is deliberately cultivating prejudice and hatred... For a long time, Chinese media and textbooks have been calling black people "our African brothers"
She kicked right into mom mode the second u walked in, seriously some of the most genuine love a human can give is to make sure others are fed and healthy, hope you and this awesome lady live long prosperous lives!
I love the fact that it is a common way to greet people by asking "have you eaten yet" in China. And I really like that how she really worried about his hunger. What a lovely people and culture.
most of thousand years in our history , people were suffered from hunger , so keep everyone has food to eat is the most important thing in our culture. giving food to other ones is the best virtue, but wasting food is the worst behavior
It’s right there in front of you….for example: when the husband walks in and talks to the Aunti …. what they say to each other doesn’t reflect a chance encounter. It’s staged dude. Even if you don’t speak Mandarin it’s quite obvious…not trying to disrespect the video or creator, just pointing out the abundantly clear fact that this wasn’t a chance encounter.
So where's the proof? Actual proof? Thi sis only your guess bruh she askedvfor proof not how you came to that conclusion. Do you know what proof means? PROOF
I'm in Montreal Canada watching a man from Western Africa eat at a grandma's house in a village of China and I'm fascinated. Thank you for sharing this great cultural experience !
Bro when I watched this, it gives me hope in humanity. I can't imagine in Western countries people opening their doors to total strangers, specially for foreigners and showing gr8 hospitality. One day I would love to visit China!
Watching your channel too Mike, trying like heck to figure out where you come from. I've never heard an accent like yours, the closest I can think of is New Zealand.
@@mikeraynaldo3454 Listen, man, I appreciate what you do. Love your cute girlfriend, so natural and friendly. I just watched your video from the 3 days ago, just NOW. And you're from Cameroon? Wow, there's a guy I communicate with in Russia who has a channel, you and he sound nothing alike. So I need to learn more about Cameroon.
As a Chinese person, I can tell you are still learning Chinese, because some of the translations are hilariously wrong 😂 but I love how open and friendly you are, and how honestly good your Chinese is for a foreigner. Love it, man. Keep up the good videos!
Wow, language opens so many doors. Imagine traveling the world and being able to speak to anyone, they'll always warm up to you easily and feed you amazing food.
Yes, the older generation in China is particularly afraid of waste because they have experienced hunger. In the past, they had no food and could only eat bark, wild vegetables, or even soil. When I was a child, if I wasted food, I would be beaten by my parents
She was extra nice. Just next time, don't double, triple, quadruple dip in all the food. Scoop all of your food in your plate, then eat. She tried to hint at it by saying "If there were an epidemic, I will not invite you to eat!" Then she shoved all the food on your plate. The family that eats after you has to eat with with your saliva on their food. Just a pointer if you want to keep getting invited for food. ❤
@@danielchheng2958if you are family yes that's fine. But for someone you don't know, mono is real and also if you have herpes. Not saying he does at all but those things you gotta be more careful.
fr even if you are quite literally going to be eating food straight from the plate, you still give a show of bringing your chopsticks to your bowl before eating because it’s seen as rude to eat straight from the plate like it’s your own when others are eating from it. no worries tho ppl r still learning ❤
Bro! This is so wholesome! I live in NYC 🇺🇸 and I envy the life you live lol. To be able to walk around small villages like this and meet locals and have that connection with strangers. You speak and understand the language so well. I hope one day I can get fluent like this. Blessings brotha! 👊🏾👏🏾👏🏾
When that lady said she was 70, i yellled loudly "WHAAAAT?" ....She doesn't look like a person with 70 years old. No way! I would give 40 years old or something like that.
Chinese people have always shown me kindness here in the US. I am Trinidadian-American, so I shop for and know the food. People really appreciate when you respect their culture and food. Can’t wait to one day visit China!
This video shows why many men love old traditional ways & cultures. Hes seen her for 4 min shes already offering him food like a family member. This guy has inspired me to learn as kuch Mandarin as possible
@@luthier78 yes, huge metropolitan cities are contaminated with Status, greeds and selfishness, unless you are in a real tight group of people, whom may help each other, even that, it is not like “Simple Villagers” especially in China. Villagers are simple, they welcome guests and will help anyone in need or less fortunate than they are, it is in Chinese philosophies and teachings for thousands of years.❤️from 🇨🇦🇨🇳🇭🇰
I randomly came across this video. So heartwarming to see this grandma invite a total stranger into her house and feeding you like you're her grandson 😂
Most Chinese don't talk about racism very much. When you see a foreign friend who speaks ur language and is very friendly, most people in the world will smile and welcome him😂 大多数中国人其实并没有多少成天把种族主义挂嘴边。当你看到一个熟练掌握你的语言并且十分友善的外国友人来自己家，世界上大多数人都会笑脸相迎😂
In fact, China does not have the concept of racial discrimination. It was the United States that exported this concept to the Chinese. Chinese people are really friendly. For Chinese people, people from other countries are equal and it has nothing to do with skin color.
Auntie is an international hostess sensation! I really like how she dignified her guest by making sure he was comfortable in her home without reservations. Thank you! 😊
It is known by everyone in China , but not by many in the west ! Chinese researchers did DNA and ancestry tracing and found that Black Africans founded China , so this Aunty is feeding her cousin from Africa ! One Love ! Africans Unite!
@@rykson161yes it's true, I always thought that some Chinese have humility like in Africa they are like a family like for example in Morocco the elderly people are very humble in Europe for example this is hard to find
I remember I went to visit Xi Shuang Ban Na, Yunnan province. I was cycling through a village, then got invited to a wedding and had lovely food with beautiful local people ❤❤
I love that lady. If I was rich I would bless her with alot of money. No one here in the USA would welcome someone into their home for a meal like that. I love Chinese culture and this makes me love it even more. 🇨🇳 🇺🇸
I know you mean well with the "reward" but really it's not even about that. Just love and learn and be open, I bet she would love if you took those lessons with you and applied them to your own life over some money.
I don't want to go into politics but this should be shown in American schools to change the public perception of China. Sinophobia from politicians makes my heart bleed lately. In any case, the food looks delicious and thx for sharing 😀
You will only see this happens once they are very sure that china is under US control, i mean they spent years shitting on japan but look at what they think of japan now, why is that the case?
America's government spends around a billion dollars on anti-China propaganda/hate every single year. I agree this video and other like it would be great to share so more people see the true China, but at least in the West this is not easily going to overcome all the propaganda.
In China, if you go to a convenience store to ask for money, you are likely to be seen as a scammer. But if you say you haven't eaten for several days, then you will be overwhelmed by the food. When you leave, they will also bring you enough food and water.
What a nice aunty to just invite you over to lunch! Man some people can be too kind but I love to see it! It seems they feel extremely safe out there and want to maintain that feeling of safety.
If one is in America walking around, he/she would have been welcomed with bullets instead of love! The beauty of these Chinese people are they will give and share with people, especially when others are less fortunate than themselves (villagers) and No matter how poor themselves (villagers) are. 👏❤️👍. Thanks for showing this unique side of Chinese Culture and Traditions. It is in the Chinese philosophies and teachings, revealed in a Socialist managed society. ❤️from 🇨🇦🇨🇳🇭🇰
This is wholesome. Im from NYC and this would never happen. A stranger being invited into someones home for food is almost impossible, people arent trusting and they dont care about anyone elses story. Everyone is self absorbed and too afraid to act this way and its a shame. This is refreshing and i love how genuine the interaction is. Sweet aunty, gives me a different perspective on people.
With so much divisiveness going on, beautiful, wholesome videos like these are more crucially needed! I'm sure Auntie was super happy to feed you and not have food go to waste!
One great thing about Chinese people . Once they understand and communicate with you . They will want to dine with you . This is beautiful. My village in china was wugoon , close Darlian in xianxi province
Wow,man you're changing the stereotypes & long held prejudices. The humanity of it all is heartwarming & admirable Nuff respect for your hustle Bless up 🙏🙏❤️ Watching from the land downunder Sydney NSW
I felt it when he said “A black man getting this treatment Bruh!” This warmed my heart to see that not everyone see us all the same! Respect to this Auntie and her family
For Chinese people, black people, white people, hispanics (actually, to us, hispanics are just white people unless they have darker skin then they're black people lol... to us, there's only Asian, i.e chinese, korean, japanese, white and black) - they're all just foreigners. They're all the same, because there is no history of enslaving a foreign race (based in color) in chinese history.
Grandma will never be defeated bro. No matter the language you can't defeat her and her urge to feed you. I like what you are doing and can't waith for more content.
Hey Fel! You’re really getting pampered & spoiled in China…my goodness! You got a full-course home cooked meal! And such a kind, generous & hospitable woman she really treated you like a mother…so concerned that you needed to eat a complete meal. You connected very well with her. 😊😊😊
Wow , the fact that she let you in her home and feeds you is amazing . Being American I know folks in my country would never do this . God bless this lady .🌹
Rural south would do this, definitely not city, suburb, or even northern america... (I have lived up north and down here in the south, basing this off of my personal experiences)
My wife comes from a rural village in northern China and she said this is genuine. Villagers would really invite a total stranger into their house and feed them. Amazing!
Thank you for making this wholesome yet educational video to show the world the true Chinese hospitality that many do not get to ever see unfortunately. I nearly forgot myself as a Chinese American from a very similar village myself. This brought back so much emotions.
First time viewer. I love how grandma gets so much satisfaction from watching you enjoy her food. Such a universal reaction. Not only that, she invites you to come back to visit next time you are in town. You are a part of her family now. I have a renewed faith in humanity from viewing this beautiful exchange. Such a contrast from what we are constantly bombarded with in mainstream media. I needed this today. Thank you. 🙏🏽🫶🏽
5:23 Here, in fact what grandma said is not “you can eat this type of vegetable”, but “you can eat the vegetable grown by myself at home”. Because of the accent, it sounded like “吃一下这种菜”，but she said “吃自家种的菜” in fact.😁
Bothered me so much when you weren't holding the bowl and it was moving around so much anticipating it to drop lol. Also the chopsticks having rice and mixed into the dishes >.
I’m from Somalia and this is amazing and similar to our culture were travelers in need or guests are highly regarded, respectfully hosted, and fed. What sweet lady❤
Once gain, a great video Fel. I had the same happen to me once in Spain backpacking. A family sat me down at a long table outside and fed me lunch. You videos are great at breaking down the western 'hate china' narrative. 非常 好！
Thank you Fel. Because of you I know how is the life in a Chinese village. Good and friendly people. I must say thay your video invites me to go there. Plus you got healthy food. The best. Cheers from Mexico 🇲🇽
This video is very important. Because the Western media is claiming that China discriminates against other races because of the box office problem of the Little Mermaid. In fact, there is no concept of racial discrimination in China at all.
Racism is more common in the western culture. This is why these western media like to point finger at others because they project everyone is racist like them. To divide and conquer has been part of western colonial tool. People are not born racist. But the society make it ok to discriminate. Just like the little mermaid movie is trying to promote certain political correctness values. But I rather prefer a society promote values such as hard work and dedication than the skin color.

I know why you went to China bro, the west doesn't want us to experience that brother sister love we lack over here in the states. I really need to get on my Mandarin game, I want to experience that kind of love too. Every black man with Chinese friends knows what I am talking about.
Are you capable to share kindness to others too ? Despite they are different race or political belief ?

Yes!!! Can’t wait for more people to be able to experience this! I’m a Chinese married to a black man and we live in the US. But my family and friends back home love my husband and always feasting when we travel back to visit.
Hi Fel, I'm a first time viewer. Enjoyed this video very much, it warms my heart to see your interaction with granny! Just a note - do be mindful of the rice on your chopsticks, don't dip into the dishes when there's rice on them, and certainly don't leave rice in the dishes. Granny low-key spotted them, which was likely why she asked you to finish the soup, and scooped the parts with rice on them back onto your plate. Cheers!
Ya, at a later stage, the lady realized that she should give him a fork and spoon, but Fel insisted on using the chopsticks out of respect for the Chinese culture.

This is what is called old hospitality, and to welcome a complete stranger into one's home for a meal. No special occasion just friendship and hospitality and an opportunity to communicate. A mother's instinct is to feed and nurture and always over cooking and expect you to eat it all. God bless this wonderful mother and gentlemen.
love your comment !
This is so great.Thanks for your talk.
这个情况在中国是非常常见的，我们非常喜欢朋友们到家里来玩
Her son think it's normal too.
She's a wonderful mother❤
The reason why one of the first things Chinese people (generally older) asks guests if they've eaten yet is because China went through famine and starvation for a period of time decades ago. They've lived through those years and understand the importance of food. They want to make sure that their guests/friends are never hungry.
Lol.. No man. This tradition goes back thousands of years, not a few decades. Asking if you've eaten as a form of greeting has been practiced across many dynasties.

Asking people whether one has eaten just like saying hi in the past thousands of years, nowadays it's more between older folks who know each other well.
中国人打招呼就是“你吃了吗”“你吃过了吗”，如果你回答“还没吃饭”他们会邀请你去他们家里吃饭，他们做好了你还没有吃饭的准备，他们准备和你分享食物
As a German where hospitality is as rare of an occurence as a train that arrives on time, this is really mind-blowing and heart-warming for me to watch
I know some warm German people but very often the Common Impression is distant and distrust because it can become quiet Dangerous when people make Claims against you!
@@lovingmontasoccer Me too, but this kind of openness and trust towards a complete stranger, I honestly have never witnessed that.
As an implant from the Caribbean to Germany ( Schwäbisch Alp ) I experienced such hospitality. It depends where you live and I live in a small village.
Generally i agree with you. But i have been living in Germany for a long time myself and i met many generous and warm hearted german here too… german are a bit cold in the beginning but once you get to know them, they are very honest, warm and loyal people❤

Me too❤ really touching
your comment made me tear up a bit. so well said
Chinese and black are bestfriends 😂
Do not forget to repay the kindness.
If possible, take the time to visit again, and bring some souvenirs, such as frui or anyting else, before you leave the village.
Not a must, but just to show your gratitude, and will be able to forge a better relationship in the future.
Great idea
reminds me of the first time I went to China. I was at a mall and an old lady came to talk to me and gave me sweets. that was my introduction to China. my experience in China was amazing from then on, I even considered living there. I love and miss that country.
Come back again. Visa application is fully re-openning now.

2:50 makes me almost wanna cry. That warm question "你吃饭了没有？没吃我们家有饭吃“ (Have you eaten? Not eaten yet? We have food at our home here".

😢
Wow. Thanks for enlightening us with this information. While I am sorry that they had to go through such horrible times, I am likewise almost in tears seeing that such love and generosity came out of it. I hope they may enjoy health and prosperity. What a beautiful culture.
It’s true. Back in the days of my grandma and grandpa, ppl starve becoz of war. Even my mother is not well fed when she was young. 8 ppl living in an insane tiny apartment in Hong Kong. When I go to primary school, invited my school firend some of them are Indian and Italian. My mom made a ton of food and force them to finished it😂
是這樣的 因為中國人真正經受過饑餓 所以現在一些農村的人們見面都會互相問：吃了嗎？

When she asked you to come visit her after you graduate - thats a true human connection right there. Very touching.
As a Chinese who only gets to visit home once every few years; this is an extremely accurate depiction of the more rural regions of the country. The people are immensely kind and many many front doors are just wide open - incredible sense of community. It's quite different from life in the cities - things are simpler and everyone is unbelievably warm. I guess we really do have a culture of feeding people hh. Thank you so much; I was smiling the whole way through the video.

In the US, my Latina grandmother, God rest her soul, would sometimes invite people walking by her home to come in and eat. Grandfather would ask, “Who is this?” Grandmother would reply, “Oh it’s someone that walked by, they looked hungry.” (Conversation was in Spanish).

Bro I just went to China for the first time 2 weeks ago and came back to New Zealand last week and the hospitality there for people who look like us (I'm Fijian) is insane, like I feel more like a human in China than I do in New Zealand, especially when I'm in the white areas. In China, they treat you like a human, and it seems like it's the case for all of China. They're aren't divided about skin color, race, religious differences, gender, pro nouns, and politics unlike the west which explains why they've become so much more advanced than the west. We can take a lot of notes from the Chinese people. I have Chinese bloodline from my great grand father so I just feel a deeper sense of loyalty for China at this point. The hospitality I received despite communication barrier is making me want to learn mandarin, and do business with the Chinese.
I've been studying Chinese philosophy for almost a year. And I'm pretty sure that all the love they have in them come from some of their ancient philosophies, especially Confucianism.
Their virtue is based on treating others better then yourself, and only then would you be consider a human being. To be human, is to engage with love towards another, and only then you can become a human being and understand who you really are.
It just shows us how much loveable Chinese people can be despite the still bad facade that we often and sadly sees from medias.
Very interesting, thank you for the comment.
it's true and the west wants to make China sound evil. No China is not the best but neither is a lot of other countries!

The family that eats after you has to eat with with your saliva on their food. Just a pointer if you want to keep getting invited for food. ❤

As I chinese, you may dip in food many times. But don't leave the rice on your chopstickes to the dishes. That's not good table manner in China.

In China, if you go to a convenience store to ask for money, you are likely to be seen as a scammer. But if you say you haven't eaten for several days, then you will be overwhelmed by the food. When you leave, they will also bring you enough food and water.
That's great🎉
What a nice aunty to just invite you over to lunch! Man some people can be too kind but I love to see it! It seems they feel extremely safe out there and want to maintain that feeling of safety.

Hey Fel! You’re really getting pampered & spoiled in China…my goodness! You got a full-course home cooked meal! And such a kind, generous & hospitable woman she really treated you like a mother…so concerned that you needed to eat a complete meal. You connected very well with her. 😊😊😊
gotta say you have good taste. Asian dramas, whether chinese korean or japanese, are the best.
Wow , the fact that she let you in her home and feeds you is amazing . Being American I know folks in my country would never do this . God bless this lady .🌹
They shoot you. Lmfao.
Maybe rural America. Modern Chinese won't invite you either to eat like that. Village life is very chill and nothing much to do.
They will feed you as well, but with bullets XD
Rural south would do this, definitely not city, suburb, or even northern america... (I have lived up north and down here in the south, basing this off of my personal experiences)
@@coachdzierzba6752no way rural deep south americans would invite a random black man to eat with them. That's just nonsense.
My wife comes from a rural village in northern China and she said this is genuine. Villagers would really invite a total stranger into their house and feed them. Amazing!
Oh man the beauty is so profound. Blessed to have witnessed this. Thank you for sharing.
This is truly Chinese hospitality. Lived there for 8 years and it was absolutely the some of the best years of my life!
Thank you for making this wholesome yet educational video to show the world the true Chinese hospitality that many do not get to ever see unfortunately. I nearly forgot myself as a Chinese American from a very similar village myself. This brought back so much emotions.
First time viewer. I love how grandma gets so much satisfaction from watching you enjoy her food. Such a universal reaction. Not only that, she invites you to come back to visit next time you are in town. You are a part of her family now. I have a renewed faith in humanity from viewing this beautiful exchange. Such a contrast from what we are constantly bombarded with in mainstream media. I needed this today. Thank you. 🙏🏽🫶🏽
5:23 Here, in fact what grandma said is not “you can eat this type of vegetable”, but “you can eat the vegetable grown by myself at home”. Because of the accent, it sounded like “吃一下这种菜”，but she said “吃自家种的菜” in fact.😁
👍
We are put on this earth to love and care for one another. This is great to see.
Bothered me so much when you weren't holding the bowl and it was moving around so much anticipating it to drop lol. Also the chopsticks having rice and mixed into the dishes >.
I’m from Somalia and this is amazing and similar to our culture were travelers in need or guests are highly regarded, respectfully hosted, and fed. What sweet lady❤
质朴的人类，不管出生在哪里都是一样的
Once gain, a great video Fel. I had the same happen to me once in Spain backpacking. A family sat me down at a long table outside and fed me lunch. You videos are great at breaking down the western 'hate china' narrative. 非常 好！
Thank you Fel. Because of you I know how is the life in a Chinese village. Good and friendly people. I must say thay your video invites me to go there. Plus you got healthy food. The best. Cheers from Mexico 🇲🇽
Such a beautiful conversation! The grandma has a warm heart and she is lovely.
I’m so happy when I see African people speak my Chinese 😊 ! Thank you ! Love from California. Your Chinese is perfect 👍🏻!
This video is very important. Because the Western media is claiming that China discriminates against other races because of the box office problem of the Little Mermaid. In fact, there is no concept of racial discrimination in China at all.
I don't like this movie, I don't discriminate against black people, but I hate this political correctness.
I live in Canada 🇨🇦 and I too will not watch it. Yes, canada too, has too much political correctness.
The American media become rubish
Only saying things to hurt china
中国没有种族歧视，我们认为56个民族是一家人，一家人为什么要歧视，甚至在互联网还没普及的时候，我们中国人都不知道有种族歧视这个词
Racism is more common in the western culture. This is why these western media like to point finger at others because they project everyone is racist like them. To divide and conquer has been part of western colonial tool. People are not born racist. But the society make it ok to discriminate. Just like the little mermaid movie is trying to promote certain political correctness values. But I rather prefer a society promote values such as hard work and dedication than the skin color.
I love how she keeps saying eat eat , such lovely and warm reception 😀😀
What a kind-hearted person! I didn't see you guys thanking her properly.
O cara a cada 5 segundos, dizia obrigado
@@felipejose8834 Eu como Brasileiro acho isso muito pouco, ela merecia agradecimento mais carinhoso e pelo menos um abraco.
@@paulodeoliveira9165 Você tem noção que não pode abraçar um povo que tem outra cultura? Se fosse com uma mulher Semita por exemplo, tu poderia ser acusado de assédio, é importante a gente ter noção disso. As vezes falar obrigado muitas vezes é chato.
I know why you went to China bro, the west doesn't want us to experience that brother sister love we lack over here in the states. I really need to get on my Mandarin game, I want to experience that kind of love too. Every black man with Chinese friends knows what I am talking about.
Are you capable to share kindness to others too ? Despite they are different race or political belief ?
Many westerners think other countries hospitality, politeness, kindness is something they Certainly get while they are still bring their entitled, arrogance n aggresive demeanour .
this brother has calm aura n polite attitude( something is lack in western specially americans ) . Kindness attract kindness .
Want to experience kindness ? Be kind first , stop complaint
@@santiagocalatrava6488 Ocidente tá cheio de ódio porque a existência desse povo seja na América (Continente) ou qualquer outro lugar que eles se reproduziram foram com base no colonialismo, eu sinceramente não acredito em amor e mundo colorido, agora acredito em civilizações que querem cada vez mais se desvincular do pensamento individualista doentio do ocidente, não existe Eric Harris na China, Samoa, Gana ou nas Comunidades Ameríndias do continente Americano por exemplo, isso diz muita coisa.
Yes!!! Can’t wait for more people to be able to experience this! I’m a Chinese married to a black man and we live in the US. But my family and friends back home love my husband and always feasting when we travel back to visit.
@@aileenchan4357 😮wow
Hi Fel, I'm a first time viewer. Enjoyed this video very much, it warms my heart to see your interaction with granny!
Just a note - do be mindful of the rice on your chopsticks, don't dip into the dishes when there's rice on them, and certainly don't leave rice in the dishes. Granny low-key spotted them, which was likely why she asked you to finish the soup, and scooped the parts with rice on them back onto your plate. Cheers!
Haha yeah, she was very tactful with her scooping when she realised the foreigner didn't know how to eat. Archetypal aiyi, love her.
agreed. And do not put a half eaten pork back into the dish please (@15.10)
Ya, at a later stage, the lady realized that she should give him a fork and spoon, but Fel insisted on using the chopsticks out of respect for the Chinese culture.
