- Many people outside of China seem to think that Chinese people aren't able to have much fun because they're under an "oppressive authoritarian dictatorship". Here's a video which will hopefully give you a glimpse that life here is not so different to the country that you live in. People here have hobbies, just like anyone, anywhere in the world. It was eye opening to see!

When you watch our videos... To you does it look like Chinese people have fun in their spare time just like anywhere else in the world?
The Chinese president Xi once said China understands the west, but the west does not understand China!
Thanks Oli and Lee. Great video for showing the truth. However, to haters, they never directly answer your questions if they feel the contents don't support their belief. They will ask you "do they have freedom of speech? Can they vote? Can they criticise the gov." It's a shame really but I do appreciate some open-minded people will think again what biased information they have been fed by the mainstream western media.
Another enjoyable video. My wife has loads of friends from the Cultural Revolution days and we've been on many trips with groups of about 8 people. They like nothing better than going to visit an historic or scenic site-on a Sunday drive, or maybe a weeks' holiday if we're going further away. My wife's aunt has an elecronic mah jong table, which shuffles the tablets and sets them up in the '4 walls' etc. The TV has loads of channels with soaps and talent contests.Seems like everyone wants to be a pop singer.
@@Jeffreyuk To those China haters , if you can't show the president the middle finger🖕, or storm government buildings like what they did in Capital Hill with their guns & rifles or having 2 or more greedy political parties that keep lying & quarrelling but nothing gets done while the common people & the homeless are sufferring , then you are NOT DEMOCRATIC & FREE. Unbelievable !!
senior citizen is the politically correct name for old people
My parent retired in the US. After they travelled to China, they found real happy retirement life there. They have now been traveling to China every two years and each time they stay for 3 months.
good for them.
you can invest an apartment there so that they can stay longer and the return of the investment should also be very good for you. :)
@@user-dj3lo4iw2f Thank Steven. They already did many years ago and they regret that they did not buy more. At the time, they were not sure about the future development in China. They were not familiar with the legal system and property protection laws, etc, so just casually bought a condo. It turned out that was one of their best investments they have ever made.
Thanks for making contribution to China economies. :)
Welcome to China
I have been to several countries and I have traveled all over the US. Other than my time in the military I have lived in several places in Texas. In all of those places none ever truly felt like home, or a place I could truly call home, even the place I was born. I have never been to a place that I could truly say this is where I could spend the rest of my life and be happy until I went to China! This may seem strange to some but while I was there in China, everywhere I traveled I truly felt at peace and happy. I have never felt like that before. The day I left China was a very sad day for me because I worried that I would never be able to return. There is a saying that, “ home is where the heart is”. I believe that is true because my heart is in China.
welcome back！
I just watched UA-cam videos about Professor William (Bill) Brown who taught at Xiamen University for decades. He is American, and one of the few expats to get a Chinese green card many years ago. Check it out.
I guess people who believe in reincarnation would say you must have been Chinese in the past life, even though I don't personally believe that. I get what you said it's an interesting and warm feeling🙂

Everywhere I go in China, I made it a point to chat with the cab drivers. Until now, I have not met one who said the govt is slack and not doing their job. All agreed that their lives had improved tremendously. One cabbie told me the govt encourage them to give up the small farm as it is not making enough. The govt will in return gives them an apartment and help them find jobs. But if they insist on keeping the farm and still farm their small land, the govt will see what is the average income of the province and made up for the shortfall if their incomes fall below the provincial level as they are doing poverty alleviation. They honoured their farmers and dont want them left behind financially.
Now this is not shown in any western media. the govt really takes care of its people. This is the real socialism with a Chinese flavour.
The Chinese government is different from Western countries. Western countries will favor the bourgeoisie in their policies and help the rich. The focus of the Chinese government is always that the proletariat is higher than the bourgeoisie, and the poor are higher than the rich. That’s why you will find that the Chinese government will always It will put poverty alleviation and the development of agriculture in the most important position. For poverty alleviation, China will not simply give money to the poor, or even help them find jobs. China's poverty alleviation method is to develop a large number of economies in poor areas, build infrastructure, and create job opportunities. Our government will never give us living allowances. Living allowances will only be given to the disabled, and what our government gives us is fierce competition. So every Chinese has a dream of getting rich, just like the "American Dream", but the Chinese want to succeed and the mentality of wanting to be prosperous is something that everyone has. And everyone has worked hard for it all his life. It seems we can never stop. The government did not force us, but our culture is like this, we must be rich
I am based in the UK cambridge, there is a massive fruitful Chinese community which consists of doctors and engineers, and scientist who are full of integrity, I personally been to China Beijing twice in 2019, and it was marvelous, full of culture and excitement, happy go back again.

china still needs lots of work in keeping talents... preschool, ps, jhs, hs, chinese students are phenominal, but once they get to college they choose to go to advanced cities and often leave country and go to universities in western countries, china needs to focus on their talent "keeping", and advancing in the western still poor and rural areas

Chinese old ppl are the most open-minded ppl, they try their best to get used to the information world, try smartphone and take part in a lot of community activities,most importantly, they devote their youth to the country,that's why China change so fast, we younger generation respect them.
1000000% they sacraficed their LIVES for the people of today.. really people dont truely understand Chinese culture and people... barely scratching the surface. you can feel when a old Chinese person speaks.. nothing but smiles and positivity and honesty wisdom... but you will feel that emotion talking to them.. thats like almost you just give them total respect.. but they remain so humble aswell. its a crazy feeling.. you know what they say there is not a word of lie. its powerful..
Well said!
I said this in another comment, but would like to mention it here again in complete agreement with you. My wife's grandma on her mother's side is 94 years old, and she's learned to use WeChat to communicate with the family and read news on her phone. For her 94th birthday, we bought her a Xiaomi smart stereo. It took her some time to learn, but she's definitely enjoying the new gadget.

Not only big cities like beijing, also ALL cities and villages, EVERYWHERE has COMPLETELY changed. My hometown the smallest province and very poor area has completely changed.
The Senior Activity Centre in this video is quite common. My parents went to Senior University after retirement (actually learning/activity centre) to learn how to use computer, ipad, smartphone, singing, drawing, dance, taiji, etc.
Maybe Western countries is the heaven for children. I am confident to say China is the heaven for seniors.
Chinese culture, Of all the virtues, filial piety comes the first. People do their best to take care of parents. My parents live with my sister family. Their daily "task" is to exercise. foe example, my mom, 80 years old, starts her day from 5am. Practice Qigong for 2-3 hours then breakfast prepared by my sister. Then go to the huge park in the residential community to exercise and social with lots of other seniors. The park has all kinds of facilities for exercise. then come home for lunch. then take a nap. In the afternoon my mom usually watch TV or play poke with friends. then practise Taiji for a couple of hours. Then dinner. then watch TV and sleep quite early before 9.
When family member birthday and any festival and weekend from time to time, all my siblings families come to my sister to have big lunch together because my parents are there. It's very typical and common life style of Chinese seniors.
Home is where your parents are. Go home.
I'm so glad you lot are making these video's showing the TRUE CHINA. I'm an Aussie. I went to China as well, pre Covid-19 and I was absolutely blown away with the friendliness and helpfulness of the Chinese people. Also, their infrastructure and transient networks are second to NONE! I love the way the Chinese look after ALL their elderly providing them with modern accommodations, health care, entertainment services, arts and crafts. I felt safe and I felt great being in China seeing what Humans can achieve if they just WORK TOGETHER. Unfortunately many places in the West still function as primitive dog-eat-dog societies. As an Aussie, I'm glad we're starting to improve in that area, especially with our affordable Health Care and Education for all. But ... we still have a long way to go.

I am from HK, medias in HK are like any western countries, hiding the truth of China that people are happy there, luckily HK is close to China therefore I got the chance to see it with my own eyes. In the history, Chinese was bullied by some rich countries, so the Chinese deeply understand how bad it could be if it’s a dog-eat-dog world, the strong will always bully the weak, it’s just not right! Chinese believe in socialism because they are benefited by working together, they are not being forced by PRC, whoever talk to the locals will know. We have enough food and resources in this world, imagine if the whole world can work together, there will be no more hungers.
@@rebeccac.thompson4548 A Coopers to you mate! Well said. And you're spot on!
It was OK for Corporate USA to pay a few cents a day to manufacture stuff for them ... and they did so for many decades.
The moment China got smart and invested AI Manufacturing Robots, releasing over 600 MILLION of their people form Poverty into Middle Class lifestyles, the Corporate USA did not like it because the 21st Century Chinese (the Grand Children of the abused generation of Chinese) are now Engineers (Civil, Mechanical, Chemical, Space, Cosmetic, Electronic, etc), Inventors (Planners, Creators), Educators (Primary, Secondary, Tertiary, Trade), Climate Scientists (Farming, Mariculture, Reforestations), Transport Scientists, etc.
The Grandparents of the modern 21st Century Young Adult Chinese created this future for them from literally, their bloodied backs.
Chinese Aussie here. The daily lies and attacks on China in the Australian media is shocking. The Murdoch gang and their politicians are hands in hand destroying Australia's relationship with their best customer, not just now but maybe for generations.
@@markuc Mate ... you're spot on. I am thoroughly disappointed with PM Morrison choosing USA interest over us, his Citizens.
Australia had a wonderful trading relationship with China since 1972. Now PM Morrison totally destroyed that for us ... all because USA wanted us to trash China publicly.
And the ONLY Country to threaten Australian is USA by telling us that we must STOP trading with China if we don't want to become the Enemy of USA. China has NEVER threatened us.
A Coopers to you.
@@dranzacspartan8002 completely agree. You really have deep knowledge about China, and i can feel your heart toward China.
China is a land of discipline and freedom but there are rules to observe, don't break the law. In China, if you killed someone, you payback with your life. In Europe, if you killed someone one, you go to jail for life and tax payers pay with their earnings.
Can you break the law in Europe?
@@yxu3307 LMAO. Maybe he just wanna underline a murder's human right in Europe is better than that in China. BUT, I REALLY THINK AN EVIL MURDERER WOULDN'T PAY ANY PRICE IN THE JAIL IS UNFAIR TO THE PEOPLE BE KILLED.
At its simplest, read the count of Monte Cristo. Don't you Westerners want an eye for an eye? You also want to, but you must disguise yourself as a gentleman, hide your own nature, hold the banner of human rights, and claim death penalty. It is just to give yourself a gold medal on your face. If you hide the human nature, you really think that you are civilized people.
If you ask the dead person if he wants the killer to die, he must say yes. But you unrelated people make decisions for the dead just to show your so-called civilization, so-called human rights. You think the murderer is pathetic, don't you think the dead is pathetic? The living need human rights, but the dead don't? Too many things in the west only show one thing, hypocrisy!!!
@@user-oj1im4xi5q The West was just a recess while the East went on a hiatus.
my parents retired and lived happily in Beijing. My mom goes to the park several times dancing or doing Taichi with her friends, and my father goes to the community institute for retired people to teach calligraphy and Chinese painting as a volunteer every week (老年大学) I am the only child living abroad, but I am very pleased to see my parents enjoying their retirement for 20 years.

@@user-iw7wt8hm3n I am a scientist. I am planning to move to Russia instead.

thank you for showing the world that Chinese people are really really happy nowadays. I’m proud of being Chinese, I love my country ,and I’m not forced to say these words,I swear!seriously!
Thats cool but what if you didnt like it and were openly saying it in public?

This is amazing! My wife is from Beijing. Her grandmother on her mother's side just turned 94 and is on social media (WeChat). So she was already 22 years old when the PRC was founded. What a life!
I am envious of the senior citizens who sit in the yum cha restaurant opposite my office all morning eating dim sum and drinking tea while I work... Not a bad life, although I don't know where they put it all!
Haha,give yourself half day off go to join them,lol
My husband’s Mom went to yum cha restaurant nearly everyday and always traveling with her old friends.
It's sad that anti-China sentiment is growing in Australia, even though Australia is located closer to Asia than America and China is Australia's biggest trading partner. Yet Australian politicians like Scott Morrison are fanning the flames of racism against China and following US's anti-China stance.
The Barretts had no idea what a Buddhist swastika is or that tea actually comes from China despite years of living in China. Yet some how they managed to attract 224 K subscribers. Hmmm something is rotten here.
@@lennifrost2006 yes I agree,if you think about it they always have a political touch to there vids,it's like this one where the elderly are enjoying themselves as if it does not happen anywhere else,hence they seem to attract this east west scenario that brings in the views for more profit,I started watching them hoping to visit china one day,they started off as a travel blog that I thought would show me china as a whole,but alas they are getting more political 👍

Just answer one question. If the Chinese were under sort of oppression, why did they go back to China after the Chinese government "letting" them to travel to Europe or USA? Considering that they had money to buy famous brands goods in Europe. Of course before the COVID-19.
Haha, true. I found the people here are all very open mind, very good for all of you. I am from Chongqing, China
Chinese Tourists travelling the world were the most affluent spenders , for the past ten years.
They go back to their home in China because there's no such a thing as opression, no freedom,... like the western media and government portrait
with malicious intent.
US trying hard playing dirty to contain China progress is as Evil as a murderer.
Who wishes the other person not to progress. As a good human being , a normal person wishes other human being to progress and have a better life.
GOD put us on earth so that all humanity progress, co-exist, cooperate, and live happiply. But the US government is the centre of evilness.
I am a Chinese, China's 60-year-old, just in time for China's fastest-growing 20 years, they have accumulated abundant wealth. So they can buy the most expensive luxury goods in the world. At present, the Chinese economy has slowed down, so the competition pressure of young people is very great. China is indeed very safe, but the competition here is very fierce. Chinese adults are more stressed than any other country
@@seanfreesoul6223 this is true, competition is very tough comparing with Europe , everybody is trying the best to work hard, however the society and our culture is like this. China Economy slow down, this is because China Economy is already better than the average level of the world economy, so labor cost is not low now, so the industry to make cheap product like shoes and cost will move to vietnam or Burma, so presently, to make China’s economy growing need to develop the new technology higher level industry, but I am still confident on it. President Xi and CCP know they need to make the poor area to be developed
Sorry for my poor English
I can see that Oli is very happy to talk to old people, and to know more about how China changed over time from them.
It's one of my favourite things to do
Being with elder people, you can get peace and happiness, because compared with them, sometimes your problems of life are not that tough as you imagine, you have time and youth to to anything, and you can feel they treasure every minute in their life, no matter what they've been through, still live with a positive attitude or a peaceful smile. Then you will wonder why I'm desperate for the life .
Elder are the most wise and respectful group of people, they have so much life long experience to share with younger generation, younger generation can learn from them to reduce chance of mistake.
@@BarrettYT You have indeed achieve success in speaking Chinese within such short period of time that clearly indicate your interest, love and joy of living in China.
@@eveleung8855 Yes, but then you got people like old man Joe in America. Keep in mind, I'm not a fan of him, or Donald Trump. Hell, I'm not political at all. And the reason is because people don't like my opinions about politics.Or other people like me who have the same opinions about it. Haha

I love beautiful China. Every time I go to China, it gives me a different feeling.
The youtubers in China are like travellers who went to far far away lands in the past and returned to tell great stories about the lands
Most of us in any countries are so ignorant either due to our propaganda machines or simply we like it. I thank all these youtubers for opening many peoples eyes
非常感谢你们的视频！
謝謝你們，加油，看完所有廣告支持你們👍
U r the agent of peace, happiness, and clear mind. This world should have more ppl like u.
我们需要的正是你这样公正而客观，不带着有色眼镜的报道，而不是BBChina那种令人作呕的诽谤与恶意中伤
In China, there are so many things we can do, So many good food we can eat, So much fun we can have.
Agreed!
Yes, Chinese culture is rich and colorful.
@@user-iw7wt8hm3n too bad it was destroyed in the cultural revolution
@@orangesoul4289 God can never wake a person who pretends to be asleep.
@@orangesoul4289 Like all nations, nationalities and cultures, it would have its ups and down. Do not let that stigma of the cultural revolution or the CPC inhumane doctrine of yesteryear haunt you perpetually. Like all things and events, we need to move on and appreciate and treasure the transformation that has surpassed all other cultures. It is like the ugly duckling that transforms into a beautiful and graceful swan, as part of life's journey.
不要告诉他们！不要告诉他们！不要告诉他们！就让他们保持觉得我们是落后没有自由的！
the more they underestimate China, the easier they will be defeated when there is war between them.
哈哈哈哈哈 好主意 悄咪咪地发展~
战忽局同志辛苦了^_^^_^
無誤，就讓西方人繼續睡吧。
战恐局震怒
Dear Barrett, thank you for making this video, I have not visit Beijing for ages...I enjoyed every moment there. Thanks for the virtual tour and sharing with the world the daily fact of the Chinese. God bless you
I am a Mongolian in China. The video is about 5 minutes. I heard familiar Mongolian songs and saw them dance Mongolian dance. I suddenly miss my hometown!
支持你们.感谢你们能让世界真正了解中国人民和老年人每天有多开心👍👍👍💪💪💪加油!!!
我是中国人，我们日子过得很愉快，我们年轻人有自己的xbox、ps5或搭配RTX3070、3080的电脑，老年人会在公园打太极，我们邻里很和睦，不像某些国家动不动就暴乱游行，我为我生在中国感到自豪
真有錢，居然買兩張
3070 3080俺也想要，但是黄牛乱抬价也是事实🤩
宅男标配，，可惜我木有钱买
好有钱，我现在只能用我的gtx1660ti的游戏本。😅
如果不是挖矿潮的话一切都如你说的那么美好，现在显卡太难买了😂
The most important thing is ppl in China can go out in the middle of the night without worrying about being robbed or stabbed. I’m living in the US at the moment. I’m so afraid of going for a walk after dinner if it turns dark since I was robbed once right in front of my house in Brooklyn. I got PTSD after that. So horrible. Can’t wait to go back to China when the pandemic chaos is over here in the US.
China welcomes peace-loving and law-abiding people
I really enjoy your title with sarcastic meaning. Thank you, Barrett.
Rare to see this I must say, thanks Oli and Lee !
Welcome Jordan, thanks for coming
If you going to China one day you will see it very often,every day,lol
That is Mongolian dance, every movement of body and hands carries meaning.
My mums in one of those choruses lols and she’s been having so much fun!
As a Chinese, I really appreciate you to report China's facts. In recent years, China has achieved significant success in the economic development, and the Western countries have not stopped smearing against China's policies and governments. Thank you very much!
Yes, in Beijing downtown = New York Manhattan! xD
The scholar Mr Mabubani have said that when china is weak the West countries invade China and when China is strong they smeared china about human rights and democracies and all kinds of sanctions 😂😆 against china
So much fun and joy there, very jealous 🥺🥺 🤣🤣🤣🤣thank you Oli and Lee👍
Like WTF is even that question? I spent 1 year in China studying, it was the best year of my life, everything is great, and friends feels like family. The internet kinda suck but there's always vpn to use. Everything else is amazing.
Kinda suck??? Bro you are saying this politely. I love everything in China except internet. CHINESE MOBIL SERVICE IS SUCK AS HELL. This comment literally reminds me the shocking face of my American classmate after I said “Gun violence is kinda severe in the states side” 😂😂😂😂😂
I was studying in England sixteen years ago, when I was curious and excited about everything in Western Europe. To tell you the truth, I was a little envious of life in the Western world. Sixteen years later, I came to Work in Western Europe again because I am expatriated, and I felt completely different. I miss China very much, China is developing too fast, life is too comfortable and safe. I am proud to be a Chinese!
They would never show that in CBC, NBC, and BBC to reflect the joy and happiness in average Chinese people all across the country not only in Beijing. Great to see you folks threw yourself right into these cultural events.
distributing love and friendship, and mutual understanding, to make our world more fascinating for all / let,s join happiness
I totally agree with you. Let us pray for world peace.
It just happened that you had interviewed these group of super positive people happy about China. There are some of the people living in China not happy with China too. And I strongly believe that more and more people will be happier each day. I trust China’s government can make that happen. 中国万岁！Thank you for showing this beautiful video.
There are many people suicide every in this world especially in many developed countries so what's your points
@@vickyhuang1958 It's good, but it can be better. I think that is his point.
Luckily, Xi Jinping isn't stupid. I hope in the future it'll continue to grow more than it already has
I agree, the elder generation is most happy groupbin todays China. Very glad they enjoy everyday, they deserve such good life after a long service and working.
As a Chinese, I can proudly say that the Chinese are the happiest country in the world. And the safest and freest country in the world!
totally agree
I had been to China, and I absolutely agreed to you folks. Seriously, the old folks in China are very active and paid to live a fruitful retirement. If that is oppression, then I would wanted that too 😂
I’m in love with chinese culture, everything about it makes me miss being there!
ME TOO... cut to the bottom of it all, i just cant stand the negativity else where.. doesnt matter what people are goign through in China, and ill tell ya chinese have been through the grind.. some have had the toughest of lives but they are never far aware from a smile or a kind word, or some enlightneing wisdom... people elsewhere have great lives but love to make it harder and be all negative and hateful... thats what im getting quite sick of tbh.. in china everyone compliments each other abd raises each other up.. here we trying bring each other down.. its crazy.. ppl that dont see it are crazy beyond repair.
@@Tank1 your words inspire me, thanks man
@marie sandal What difference if he/she is Chinese ? The most important factor is that he/she has pleasant and happy encounters and experience in China, and now living away from China and most likely witnessing the way of living, attitude and behaviour of the people within his environment makes him/her appreciate more of his good days living in China.
@@bernardtan9058 Exactly!.
@marie sandal His profile pic has what looks like an Asian man, but you can't just assume that all Asians are Chinese.
感谢Barrent先生真实报道真实的中国，谢谢您。
Thank you Barretts!
Great video... I was so pleased to see the older people playing Chinese instruments. There is no reason Chinese instruments should have to give a back seat to foreign instruments. I hope the young Chinese don't just learn western violin and flutes - but traditional Chinese instruments as well.
你们这是在撬西方井盖啊，哈哈
Thank you for promoting real China, and thank you and your father for the channel. China welcomes friends and truth, and is not afraid of enemies and lies
None of us Chinese care about the slurs of THE US and BBC, we just take them as a joke, we deeply love our China, even if it is to defend with our lives, we will be friendly and peaceful with everyone, but also for the security of the country will sacrifice their lives
早晚一出门，满大街，公园，都是老人家。爱干嘛干嘛。
西方媒体为了抹黑中国 几百年就没说过中国好 说中国落后 阴暗 恐怖 😱 我倒是希望他们一直这样下去 等他们有一天发现自己从小到大被灌输的观念是错的时候 三观会快速颠覆 再也不会相信他们媒体 也是好事
好家伙，越来越“标题党”👍👍👍
UC震惊体ᥬ😂᭄
深得中国自媒体取标题精髓
还不行，震惊部不收
China may not be perfect, but it's getting better and better. Thank you for showing the world the real China. I'm happy living here :)
Thank you for looking at China today from another perspective. Although China still has some problems of this kind, in general, the Chinese people are becoming happier and happier, walking their own way and out of a different kind of scenery!
yeah
Im going to be that 90 year old guy playing the Erhu in the park with a big smile on my face.
Can you show us your skill already ??
That Beijing local elderly has good Beijing accent. 那個老爺子有一口很好聽的京片子
You're a funny and lovable soul。
i remember u mentioned that u had learnt to play Erhu in one of ur videos , it would be cool if u decide to show ur skill , expecting for. that.
I would like to see you playing at your 100 years old! Jianping!
You're a good dancer Oli! Almost as good at it as being a vlogger!
On a separate note, dancing under all this oppression! How are you doing it mate?!
Barrett can go wherever he wants. See! Everybody is so happy. Happy, happy, joy, joy. Just look at all the smiling faces... so happy... no one complaining... no one criticising... everybody so so happy 😃😃😃 Barrett, you are so handsome ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I’m currently living in uk 🇬🇧 , I love this country as much as I love China 🇨🇳, rest of my family are in China, that is what exactly my mom does every day, thanks to the Chinese government, and thank you for sharing the real China, all the best .
My mom is in this kind of community called "elderly university" in our hometown funded by the government, they only accept people who are above 50 years old or retired. She attended several cources like TaiChi, dance, badminton, the most important thing is they only charge only 100RMB per year!
She even becomes the leader of TaiChi class😂, and other grandma grandpa need to ask for leave to her😂.
Last year, because of the pandemic, I was stuck in my hometown, I watched their performance on the anniversary celebration of university. What a shocking and hilarious experience! They are just too excellent! So happy, positive, passionate. I took many photos for them, they had chorus, swordplay, dancing, calligraphy, qipao show, a variety of performance. Their slogan is "退休不褪色"，which means retirement doesn't mean a faded colorless life, which is also I want to remember when I'm old.
I'm in Zhuhai and have visited a few other cities. The number of people singing and dancing in the many parks always amazes me. From organised dance groups, people playing traditional instruments, the guy up the hill on his saxophone; sometimes the musical standards are not exactly at concert levels but the participants are very obviously having a good time.😎
Zhuhai is a lovely and friendly city ,also beautiful
You should join in their group. Ahaha
@@kevinwong5131 I would but can't dance
Damn, Zhuhai is the best. U got the fresh air, blue sky, sea, and food. The location is great tho.
@@boshenlin8554 I am very grateful to have been here for the pandemic, there are so many worse places!!!!
感谢你们把努力、奋发、真实的中国介绍给了世界。
我是长期生活在日本的中国人，真想把真正的中国也介绍给日本社会，因为这里也受西方及各种媒体影响很大，被歪曲的太多。我也想尽自己的微薄之力！
Great!! good!!! thks a lot for your work, all your videos, your effort to show how really the life is there to the world!!! excellent!!
Don't forget to hit the 👍 button, it's free.
The truth is just like a joke
Not everyone gets it.
And the worst parts is they don't seek the truth they aren't blatantly misinformed they do it for the sake of causing confusion and chaos in the world
只是大家都不敢狂而已
oh i like that little quote my friend...
It feels secure to know your grandma's 3rd sister's uncle's neighbor is the source of all of your troubles. It gives you an excuse to comfortably continue sitting on a couch watching Netflix.
The only people “blatantly misinformed” are the people in china. You know, the country with the second lowest freedom of information and expression in the world
@@orangesoul4289 do you know you are beyond stupid.. Where you get these facts??? From western white properganda lying history. Culture and media.. Dumbass
That old man joking about getting lost in the modern Beijing city( I think he is proud of the development)
BBC would give it a shady filter and only show that one sentence, indicating how sad it was, and people in China is suffering bla bla bla
我就不知道国外有些媒体所说的什么种族灭亡什么人民压迫，我生活了30多年怎么就没见过，到是给我的感觉中国少数民族的政策相当好，在国内不管任何人只要你肯努力就可以发展，此生无悔入华夏，来生还做中国人，加油！！！
Damn respect, Barrett Jr.! your Mandarin improved a lot for real! Keep working on it!
