Bethune was a Canadian doctor, a member of the Canadian Communist Party and an international communist fighter. He came to China's Yan'an Revolutionary Base in 1938 to work as a surgeon and saved many Chinese people. Once during the operation, his finger was cut by a scalpel and became infected with bacteria, causing septicemia. He died in 1939
I suggest you go to Sam's Club to buy warm clothes. Sam’s Club has a down jacket with a heating function. Light, comfortable and warm. Only costs 299RMB.
you really need to know your way of using alipay is wrong. recommand you to find a young man to teach you how to use alipay or you may suffer from payment all the time
The shopkeeper with somewhat peculiar behavior showed you Dr. Norman Bethune, a Canadian doctor well-known in China. He is widely recognized for his assistance to the Chinese military during World War II, and he passed away due to an infection contracted during his service. He is a Canadian whom the Chinese people greatly appreciate. The message he intended to convey is that Canadians are very kind.
Dr Bethune's home town in Ontario became hot tourist attraction in last twenty years due to many Chinese immigrants came from mainland China living in the greater Toronto area.
The "Canadian actor" you saw is called Norman Bethune. He is famous in China as a thoracic surgeon. He is a member of the Canadian Communist Party and saved many people in China during World War II. I graduated from Jilin University in Changchun. The medical school of this university is called Bethune Medical College.
To avoid any misunderstandings, as a Chinese, I would like to explain here (although there have been many comments explaining the situation) that this hot tempered shop owner is showing you Norman Bethune, a Canadian who went to China during World War II to provide free treatment for soldiers and civilians, and was respected and loved by all Chinese people. If I remember correctly, Dr. Norman Bethune was one of the three people in China who have been given national gifts since the founding of the country. Generally, only the head of state would be given this national gift, so its value is self-evident. And with this national gift, the three of them and their families can receive eternal protection from the Chinese government. As long as it does not violate international law or the laws of their country, the Chinese government can fulfill all their wishes. For example, Mr. Rabe, who received the national gift, as a German, protected tens of thousands of civilians in Nanjing during World War II and escaped the tragic fate of being slaughtered by the Japanese, Therefore, he also received one of the national gifts. During the epidemic, his grandson sought help from the Chinese government, hoping to receive a batch of anti epidemic supplies. The Chinese government did not hesitate to arrange for the supplies to be quickly sent to Germany by special plane. These three individuals are respected by all Chinese people, so the shop owner learned that you are from Canada, which reminded him of Norman Bethune. He said: The Canadian people are our friends, and Mr. Norman Bethune comes from Canada! The three individuals who have received national gifts from the Chinese government as individuals are John Rabe (Germany), Norman Bethune (Canada), and Evan Kyle (United States). The Chinese government and all Chinese people will never forget that they have helped China. As long as China and Chinese people still exist in this world, we will protect their families until the end of the world.
The three individuals from different countries mentioned above are respected by all Chinese people for protecting the Chinese people who were invaded during World War II or providing evidence of the heinous crimes committed by Japanese imperialism against the Chinese people during World War II. In our eyes, they are heroes and great figures with extremely high humanitarian spirit. Dr. Norman Bethune, whom I mentioned, sacrificed everything, including his life, to save the Chinese people in the war. You can ask any Chinese person who has received a 9-year compulsory education. They all know Dr. Norman Bethune and understand his outstanding contributions to the fight against fascism. Unfortunately, not many people in Canada have heard of Dr. Norman Bethune. He should have been a source of pride for Canadians, but because the Canadian government follows the United States' anti China policy, they are not willing to mention Dr. Bethune. This is both regrettable and ironic.
Almost all Chinese know this Canadian doctor - Norman Bethune, who was a communist and came to China during WW II to help Chinese fighting against the Japanese invasion. He died in China and everyone now in China has been taught to remember his sacrifice during WW II and respect him as a hero. In 1972, the Canadian government declared Bethune “a Canadian of national historical significance”, creating the Bethune Memorial Home in his hometown of Gravenhurst, Ontario, Canada. Now this site has become a hot tourist place for Chinese. That's why Chinese always had a good impression about Canada. Sadly, during these years China-Canada relationship has deteriorated sharply due to politics. If Canada continues to follow US in suppressing China, maybe one day Canadians will lose all the respect and friendliness from Chinese people. But I guess they don't care. After all, most Canadians have no idea who Bethune is, and they do not know or even care what Chinese people have gone through during WWII. To most of them, China is just a backward or even a savage country. Who would need friendship from such a country? nah.
Chairman Mao Zedong of the People's Republic of China published his essay entitled In Memory of Norman Bethune (in Chinese: 紀念白求恩), which documented the final months of the doctor's life in China. Almost the entire Chinese population knew about the essay which had become required reading in China's elementary schools during the 1960s
In the video, the vendor wants to translate a doctor from Canada, Henry Norman Bethune, who has made a very important contribution and kindness to our country. In the early 20th century in China, he treated our wounded soldiers during the war and was a thoracic surgeon. Because of his kindness, many Chinese know him, our country once gave him very fine porcelain, this porcelain seems to be a national gift to other national leaders and important people, he is our benefactor and friend. The vendor wanted to express his feelings and gratitude for the country of Canada.
Dr. Norman Bethune maybe the most familiar Canadian for so many Chinese. And as a great doctor, he really contributed a lot to our positive consideration of Canadian people.
For the alipay problem, it might because some shop owners don't use merchant's account to receive money and use their individual account instead (it happens in part of the street venders and local shops) so that it can't accept money transfer from your international credit card. I believe that such problem won't happen in bigger shops and chain stores.
3 months ago when I visited China, I chatted with a store owner if she would pay alipay for each transaction. She told me that if the payment was from buyer's alipay account, merchant paid zero commission. If the payment was via buyer's domestic bank card linked to alipay account, merchant's commission rate is 0.1%. Since international credit card linked to alipay charged 3%+, merchant might not accept the too high commission rate.
@@jding1573 I think this is it. I linked my Alipay to both a Wise Visa Debit card, which had transferred balance of CNY, and also my MasterCard Credit Card. The Wise card worked every time, as well as ATMs.
@@jding1573Hi, thank you for this information. I’m going very soon to Shanghai and was wondering about this issue as it seems to be hit and miss if it will work when watching foreigners in China paying via WeChat and Alipay. So, is the solution to add funds from your connected international card to Alipay/Wechat balance? Sorry for the questions lol Thanks so much 😊
The shopkeeper trying to tell u Dr. Henry Norman Bethune,who helps us in The War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression,he is kind of most famous Canadian in China.Every Chinese students study his spirit in the school,we all respect him.
The Canadian that man showed in his mobile phone is Henry Norman Bethune, who came to China to help Chinese in World War II. Every Chinese knows him in textbook of primary school.
He showed you Henry Norman Bethune， a canadian was born in Gravenhurst, Ontario, Canada, on 3 March 1890. His father was a Presbyterian minister from a long family line of clergymen, educators and medical practitioners, while his mother was an evangelical missionary. The family badge of service and his father’s exhortation to “always go where you’re needed” left an indelible mark on young Bethune, influencing his eventual foray into China. There, he offered his selfless medical services to the war-torn country, an act that made him a national hero in a foreign land.
To demonstrate how famous and legendary Dr. Norman Bethune is. He's been written into not only in Chinese text books, but also official CPC history record. And theres a famous saying by Mao Zedong that, Dr. Norman Bethune is "A noble man, a pure man, a moral man, a man out of vulgar taste and a man who is for the people". This indicates, although recent relation between China and Canada has been through some disturbances, Chinese will never forget those who helped them when they needed most, one of them being a canadian.
The clothes you purchased for Harbin are definitely not thick enough. You can buy them at the local market in Harbin. There are many cost-effective clothing options there, provided you know how to cut prices.
@@kaklamchow1689 No, I don't have any bargaining skills at all. I often choose to try on clothes offline and then buy them online, where the prices are cheaper and more transparent.
The first thing that comes to people's mind when they mention Canada is Norman Bethune. They teach from the very young age in the schools about his contributions to the nation in the WWII.
As someone who is not good at bargaining watching you two look around the mall for clothes and bravely challenge to negotiate prices, I am really impressed.Actually. A lot of these clothes are actually of good quality and don't cost much, just because they don't have a recognizable brand name. When it comes to Harbin or other parts of the Northeast, I have to highly recommend the local bathing centers, which in my opinion are a magnificent rebirth of bathing culture in modern times, and the price is reasonable, including many services that are definitely worth experiencing.
The shopkeeper is a typical Chongqing uncle, outgoing, talktive, love to tease people to be funny.😂 He was asking Ivana "you don't understand as well???" several times in disbelief, coz he thought she's Chinese. Lol. And the fashion city you went is actually a wholesale market, that location has been the wholesale market since when i was young.
To Harbin Must play: 1. Saint Sophia Cathedral (圣索菲亚大教堂) 2. Central Street (中央大街) 3. Chinese Baroque Street (中华巴洛克风格街) 4. Ice and Snow World (冰雪大世界) 5. Volga Manor (伏尔加庄园) Must eat: 1. Guobao Pork (锅包肉) 2. Northeastern BBQ (东北烧烤) 3. Iron pot stew (铁锅炖) 4. Harbin red sausage (哈尔滨红肠) 5. Kvass drink (格瓦斯饮料) 6. Modern ice lolly (马迭尔冰棍) Worth experiencing: 1. Daoli Food Market (道里菜市场) 2. Polar Pavilion (极地馆) 3. Siberian Tiger Forest Park (东北虎林园) 4. Bathing center (洗浴中心) 5. Harbin Grand Theater (哈尔滨大剧院)
@@JetLagWarriors I think one of the problems that may exist is that at -20 degrees the cell phone battery can easily die and the phone can easily turn itself off, keeping it warm can help to a certain extent
People didn't understand when you said Alipay, because Wechat and Alipay go by completely different names in Chinese: Zhi-Fu-Bao for Alipay, and Wei-Xin for Wechat :)
In Google Translator, the Alipay in Chinese can be 支付宝 or 阿里支付. I suggest copying 支付宝 to Google Translator and repeating its pronunciation. When using it in China, Chinese people can understand which method you want to use. .
The man who sales the 50rmb juket showed you the video about a man: Henry Norman Bethune is a doctor from Canada, he save many Chinese people, so that Chinese people feel grateful for him
Buying clothes in Guangzhou is the most cost-effective place in China. Guangzhou is the largest clothing wholesale gathering place in the country and even the world.
Doctor Norman Bethune was commemorated in several Chinese postage stamps series, Friends of the Chinese people. 1960, 1979 (40th anniv of his passing) and his birth centenary.
Things made in China come in different levels of quality and price, you can find very cheap stuff, but also very good quality stuff for a higher price, not everything made in China is cheap and bad quality, it happens that most countries like to buy cheap things from China to compete in the market for prices. Chinese people are smart and hard working enough to have stuff for any budget and request.
As a Dongbei Chinese currently living/working in Canada, I actually cannot wait for your Harbin vlog! guobaorou/锅包肉 is a must try and bao bun is completely defferent in Harbin than the one you had in Shanghai. Morning market is a heaven for all kinds of freshly made breakfast, and just imagine having hotpot in one of those shiny ice houses! Dongbei(northeast territory of China) is famous for its Xuehua(snow flakes) beer, Shaokao(meat skewer), lamb hotpot and much more. It has a very rich and diverse culture, you will be able to see both North Korean and Russian influences, as it is located on the border between these three countries. Growing up as a Manchu(满族) Chinese there, I've had a lot of Chinese Korean(朝鲜族) classmates, and you will even find some white faces speaking perfectly local accent(Chinese Russian), and of course Han Chinese. Muslim Chinese(回族) also hold a significant population there and their Halal food is out of this world. It may not be as advanced as those mega cities you've been to because Harbin, or Dongbei in general, has fallen behind the current trend. However, I truly hope you can enjoy the culture and diversity there. It is a very unique region in China, and I am pretty sure you as Canadian will find weather there familiar. I wish you can see my comment and keep up the good work Steve and Ivana!
@@yummemys4608 Mega cities are dull, maybe most of it depends on the people there. Due to China is so big and some areas are in the tropics or subtropics, where there is no snow, when winter comes, people flock to Harbin. In order to receive them this year, ordinary residents brought thermal buckets to major attractions to provide hot drinks for tourists for free. Ordinary residents also offered their own cars to take tired tourists back to the hotel. Government departments such as the Market Supervision Bureau impose requirements on each hotel not to allow excessive price increases. This is what I have seen on the Chinese version of tiktok. Like me, there are accounts with only a few dozen followers. I also want to take pictures and make videos in Harbin. If I hadn’t had no money in my wallet, I would have been playing in Harbin/(ㄒ oㄒ)/~~
The video of this trip to Chongqing is so funny! The male owner of the clothing store didn’t let Ivana pay because he said he didn’t want to make money off of Chinese people (joking 😂), plus the Canadian he knows is Bai Qiu'en, a Canadian doctor who came to China to help rescue the Chinese during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. Chongqing city is a dock city, so the store owner's personality is very much characteristic of dock city culture (talkative and warm) 😂
If you buy a down jacket in the south, you will feel very cold when you arrive in Harbin because the jacket is not thick enough. Just like you buy a swimsuit in Canada and go to Mexico, or buy a down jacket in Cuba and go to Canada for the winter.
Hello bloggers, I saw your videos elsewhere and wanted to say that Chongqing is a warmer city, but Harbin is a very cold city. Winter clothes bought in Chongqing may not be enough to withstand the cold winter in Harbin. , so you may buy some warmer clothes when you arrive in Harbin, and also buy some thermal patches. They can generate heat and can be bought in pharmacies.❤
almost every Canadian don't know Dr. Bethune. he is a great man came to China for help us in WW II. 90 years passed and we never forget him. His name in Chinese is Buy Chil En. Next time they talk about him you will know.
As a Chinese, I recommend you to visit the ruins of Unit 731 in Harbin. You can reach this museum by taking Line 1 to the terminal station, Xinjiang Street.
Norman Bethune is the most famous Canadian in China. He was a Canadian surgeon and came to China during WWII to support the China's war of resistance against Japan. He died in China. This is what the clothing market seller said to you via his mobile phone
Dr. Norman Bethune sacrificed his life for Chinese people and is well respected in all city China! Our Canadian China friends ship started from Dr. Bethune willing to go to China to help Chinese community at that time considering China is very rural and hardship life but his heart is with the Chinese people and contribute his entire life to China!
I don’t know what the coldest climate in Canada is, but In my point of view, just wearing these in Harbin is way not enough. I highly recommend you guys prepare more thicker and warmer clothes, pants, shoes, scarves and gloves.
That guy wanted to tell you that a Canadian, Bethune was Chinese people's great friend, a university was named after him, now it is part of Jilin Unniversity, Norman Bethune Health Science Center of Jilin University. If you want to bargain, maybe you mention his name will help a little.
The man he show is Dr. Norman Bethune, who is probably the most famous foreigner known by Chinese people. Even illiterate elders know his life and appreciate the great friendship between people from the two countries❤ and symbolize for the internationalism during WW2.
I am literally watching this video in my hotel room in Harbin and can confirm that it's freezing here and you should definitely bring warm clothes! the ones you get in the video look alright though
Harbin is too cold, you can go to a pharmacy and buy some warm packs. These are the kind that you can stick on the inside of your clothes to generate heat. They are very useful and also quite cheap.
People over 40 years old know Canada as Dr. Bethune. During the cruel wars in our history, Dr. Bethune came to help us, but unfortunately died here. We will always remember him.
First of all, the uncle who sells clothes is outgoing and responsible for soliciting customers. Secondly, the uncle mistook lvana for a Chinese and thought she was leading you on a tour. It's hilarious, usually only men who start families with Chinese girls get this kind of treatment, even though it's only a legal son, they will treat you like their own son, intimate and not distant. When I saw the uncle pulling you in front of his stall and talking a lot, he thought lvana could understand until you guys finished shopping and were about to leave, the uncle's wife came out and told him that she felt that neither of you could understand Chinese. Uncle suddenly realized and said to lvana, 'So you don't understand either'. Laughed so hard I had tears in my eyes🤣
Be careful not to slip when going to Harbin. I slipped many times during my trip to Harbin ten years ago because the ground was covered in thick ice. The indoors in Harbin is very warm, but the outdoors is indeed very cold. I guess you also need a hat and gloves that can cover your ears. Some gloves can also be used on mobile phones. There are gloves available locally in Harbin (because they have this demand), so if you cannot find a suitable one, you can go to Harbin to purchase it. You always discover a beautiful place in the city and will always follow you, a fan from China.
That is a very good suggestion. Even though they are Canadian and know how to handle winter with -20 to -30 degree, it is better to have a pair of Ice Cleat ready.
As an Asian... you have learned how to negotiate... reducing the price by half is the right thing to do when shopping in retail or wholesale markets...
don't get him wrong at 14:30 the guy trying to show you guys doctor Bethune who came to China for helping chinese people gainst japenses invasion during world war2. Chinese people used to love Canada becouse of that. Actually that chinese business guy was very friendly.
That funny shopkeeper thinks your wife is Chinese. Later, he asked you to scan his QR code, but you refused, he thought you thought this code was deceptive (some bad people in China let others scan the unknown code to steal information and property), so he said this is the payment code, if he cheated you he would be deported. He meant no harm, just a special way of showing kindness. And This kind of mall can bargain, the store will raise the price so that there is room for customers to bargain. The price of the tag is of no reference significance.
You two are simply unreasonable. In today's technological era, you can use various translation applications, but you don't think about using them at all.
In China even though people don't have the same attitude towards fitness as those in the west it is not hard to see that the average Chinese person is more fit than the average american. The time spent on walking/standing far outweighs the time spent sitting in a car. And most malls, including the one in this video, are at least 6 floors high whereas most malls in America are only 2 floors if not just single. That means more stair climbing, and this is also reflected in mountain climbing, which is how a lot of Chinese people spend their holidays.
I know some of the local people speaks very loud just like they are shouting. But they are not hostile to you, they are just try to communicate with you, and a little kidding to you.
Just a reminder. The clothes purchased in the Chongqing is probably not fit for the Harbin. Because the coldest temperature is only around -4C.😂 The clothes here is not ready for the -20C.
I don't know much about it, but I looked on the Internet. I translated a piece of information from the Chinese Internet about what to wear in Harbin. -10 to -19 degrees Upper body: base (quick drying)+ small down jacket (about 80 grams of down content)+ long down jacket (about 250-300 grams of down filling) Lower body: quick dry pants + 600-800g cotton pants + ski charge pants Hat (plus velvet), scarf, earmuffs, gloves (plus velvet), Uggs (plus wool insoles) -20 degrees below: On the basis of the above, put on the wool sweater In addition, you can buy warm and cheap clothes directly in Harbin. Many people on social networks mentioned several wholesale clothing stores next to the Sophia Church. Hope this helps.
Bargaining is a must in these kinds of markets, and sometimes you can negotiate prices down to one-third of the original price. I recommend trying online shopping in China, where you might find two pairs of Martin shoes of the same quality for just $50. It was an interesting episode. I wish you all a great time exploring Northeast China!
You are very brave, actually shopping in a mall where bargaining is required. I am in China and I rarely go to these places to buy clothes. I only buy clothes at Uniqlo
It's not enough to wear it like this! You can buy them in Harbin where prices will be cheaper. The friendliness of the locals is crazy, they will give free drinks and snacks to tourists on the street even after driving you to your destination!
Hai Steve and Ivana.... I'm glad you're finally in Chongqing... I once wrote to you to visit Chongqing... I really wanted to go there but it's just not my time yet.... I hope you enjoy your trip there... Stay safe stay healthy...!!!
In China, you guys should bargain with the shop owner when you buy some clothes and small thing. The price on the price tag is not the real sell price.
We love your vids. You’re both so natural as you vlog. Question: how many times can you enter China via the 144 hour visa? Meaning once a month? Once every 90 days?
Reminds me of my trip to Japan. It wasn't even winter yet but I felt cold already. Osaka was cold and rainy that day so needed to get a thicker jacket. Went to uniqlo to buy a warm jacket. Don't need it in Malaysia, so my daughter took it back to Perth .
ali pay works with proper vendors, but some of the shops use their personal code to accept transfers (not transactions), which won't be accepted as you guys are using a foreign bank card
The clerk wanted to express that a doctor from Canada, whose Chinese name is Bethune, has helped Chinese. The Chinese thank him and will shelter his children and grandchildren.
Did you see that viral video of a local showing the city? With him going to the top of buildings and then descending to the middle of it to left at a street, then entering another building, going to the top and leaving at a another street and so on? Would be nice if you could try something like that during your explorations.
I'm guessing your Ali Pay is only using a credit card, while that QR code in the shoe shop is for money transfer only (which requires your Ali to use a debit card).
hi steve！I need to remind you that Harbin is very cold, it is 30 degrees below zero, so the clothes you bought may not be warm enough, and you need other warmer equipment, otherwise you will get frostbite!
When negotiating for Steve's boots, you opened with 250, and the shopkeeper looked a bit taken aback, this is because "250" can be interpreted as an insult "二百五", she probably realized that you were unaware but it caught her off-guard. In the future do 251 or 249.
As a Sichuanese whose culture is similar to Chongqing. I understand what that man did. Our culture here believes that a husband's submission to his wife means he loves his wife. He is a typical Chongqing person with a bad temper and loud voice. He thought your girlfriend was a native of Chongqing, but she was too gentle. So he's encouraging your girlfriend to be tougher on you, by stoping her use money. Then he got beaten by his wife and shut up. Typical Chongqing man🤣

白求恩是中国人对加拿大最熟悉的人！他是一位医生，我们很尊重他！
几年前在一次聚会上遇到一位从中国回加拿大的加拿大白人小姐姐，她回加拿大以后特别探究了白求恩的生平，按她的说法：白求恩在加拿大当医生的时候，因为酗酒导致一次手术事故，被加拿大官方吊销医师执照，所以白求恩不得不离开加拿大才能继续当医生。
不知道她的研究准确性有多高，可是在我们中国人看来，当年抗战的时候，一个酗酒的医生好过没有医生。
@@JohnChu-z4w白求恩的性格比较偏执，比较随性而行，容易惹矛盾。他投共以后不仅和加拿大的医生协会有矛盾，帮助西班牙内战时期还和自己的天主教医院同事也闹翻了（因为西班牙左翼是反天主教的），在西班牙他也和人有矛盾，所以他很可能被公报私仇了，西共也禁止他回西班牙（因为派系纷争），最后他选择了前往中国，并把现代医学的知识也传授过来，最后可以说是死在了手术台上。
@@JohnChu-z4w 我查到的是他因为加入加拿大共产党所以被排挤的，医生这一块好像是和他写的一篇论文有关。
For the alipay problem, it might because some shop owners don't use merchant's account to receive money and use their individual account instead (it happens in part of the street venders and local shops) so that it can't accept money transfer from your international credit card. I believe that such problem won't happen in bigger shops and chain stores.
You're right, unless using a debit card.
agree，I used to transfer mine into merchant mode just to hear the sound“you have received ****yuan” even though I dont own shops.🤣
3 months ago when I visited China, I chatted with a store owner if she would pay alipay for each transaction. She told me that if the payment was from buyer's alipay account, merchant paid zero commission. If the payment was via buyer's domestic bank card linked to alipay account, merchant's commission rate is 0.1%. Since international credit card linked to alipay charged 3%+, merchant might not accept the too high commission rate.
@@jding1573 I think this is it. I linked my Alipay to both a Wise Visa Debit card, which had transferred balance of CNY, and also my MasterCard Credit Card. The Wise card worked every time, as well as ATMs.
@@jding1573Hi, thank you for this information. I’m going very soon to Shanghai and was wondering about this issue as it seems to be hit and miss if it will work when watching foreigners in China paying via WeChat and Alipay. So, is the solution to add funds from your connected international card to Alipay/Wechat balance? Sorry for the questions lol
Thanks so much 😊
The shopkeeper trying to tell u Dr. Henry Norman Bethune,who helps us in The War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression,he is kind of most famous Canadian in China.Every Chinese students study his spirit in the school,we all respect him.
These shopkeepers are so adorable. I love it.🥰
I am a local of Harbin. Welcom to my city. Glad to reply any question if you need any help.
The Canadian that man showed in his mobile phone is Henry Norman Bethune, who came to China to help Chinese in World War II. Every Chinese knows him in textbook of primary school.
He showed you Henry Norman Bethune， a canadian was born in Gravenhurst, Ontario, Canada, on 3 March 1890. His father was a Presbyterian minister from a long family line of clergymen, educators and medical practitioners, while his mother was an evangelical missionary. The family badge of service and his father’s exhortation to “always go where you’re needed” left an indelible mark on young Bethune, influencing his eventual foray into China. There, he offered his selfless medical services to the war-torn country, an act that made him a national hero in a foreign land.
To demonstrate how famous and legendary Dr. Norman Bethune is. He's been written into not only in Chinese text books, but also official CPC history record. And theres a famous saying by Mao Zedong that, Dr. Norman Bethune is "A noble man, a pure man, a moral man, a man out of vulgar taste and a man who is for the people". This indicates, although recent relation between China and Canada has been through some disturbances, Chinese will never forget those who helped them when they needed most, one of them being a canadian.
watching youtube video also allowed me to learn more about history.
Now I know who is Dr. Norman Bethune.
The clothes you purchased for Harbin are definitely not thick enough. You can buy them at the local market in Harbin. There are many cost-effective clothing options there, provided you know how to cut prices.
cutting price is a basic skill in china ain’t it hahahahaha
@@kaklamchow1689 No, I don't have any bargaining skills at all. I often choose to try on clothes offline and then buy them online, where the prices are cheaper and more transparent.
Cut prices - 讲价you mean 'haggle over prices' or ' bargain'
Canadian Goose jacket is the best for Harbin Whether. 😂
haha, true, but a Canada goose jacket would cost 50 times more...@@qianyin9116
The first thing that comes to people's mind when they mention Canada is Norman Bethune.
They teach from the very young age in the schools about his contributions to the nation in the WWII.
As someone who is not good at bargaining watching you two look around the mall for clothes and bravely challenge to negotiate prices, I am really impressed.Actually.
A lot of these clothes are actually of good quality and don't cost much, just because they don't have a recognizable brand name.
When it comes to Harbin or other parts of the Northeast, I have to highly recommend the local bathing centers, which in my opinion are a magnificent rebirth of bathing culture in modern times, and the price is reasonable, including many services that are definitely worth experiencing.
@JetLag-Warriors01 scammer
The shopkeeper is a typical Chongqing uncle, outgoing, talktive, love to tease people to be funny.😂 He was asking Ivana "you don't understand as well???" several times in disbelief, coz he thought she's Chinese. Lol. And the fashion city you went is actually a wholesale market, that location has been the wholesale market since when i was young.

Thank you for this❤
@jies2811is this museum have English language on their exhibition?
@@JetLagWarriors I think one of the problems that may exist is that at -20 degrees the cell phone battery can easily die and the phone can easily turn itself off, keeping it warm can help to a certain extent
Must try Guo Bao Rou
When you go to Harbin, you must visit the 731 Evidence Memorial
Every Chinese knows Bethune. What a great man!
It's fun to watch you guys shopping. My son just came back from China. He also went to Chongqing and Harbin. :)
How did he feel about the trip?
It’s actually impressive how much you’re able to understand without a translator 😂😂 loving the China series ❤
Many of them can converse well in English in varying degrees
People didn't understand when you said Alipay, because Wechat and Alipay go by completely different names in Chinese: Zhi-Fu-Bao for Alipay, and Wei-Xin for Wechat :)
他付款不成功，我怀疑有以下2个原因，1是扫错码，用支付宝扫微信码不成功，2就是他们是VPN翻墙，可能支付宝检测到用VPN代理翻墙造成不成功，仅仅个人推断。
In Google Translator, the Alipay in Chinese can be 支付宝 or 阿里支付. I suggest copying 支付宝 to Google Translator and repeating its pronunciation. When using it in China, Chinese people can understand which method you want to use. .
The man who sales the 50rmb juket showed you the video about a man: Henry Norman Bethune is a doctor from Canada, he save many Chinese people, so that Chinese people feel grateful for him
Buying clothes in Guangzhou is the most cost-effective place in China. Guangzhou is the largest clothing wholesale gathering place in the country and even the world.
Doctor Norman Bethune was commemorated in several Chinese postage stamps series, Friends of the Chinese people. 1960, 1979 (40th anniv of his passing) and his birth centenary.
Things made in China come in different levels of quality and price, you can find very cheap stuff, but also very good quality stuff for a higher price, not everything made in China is cheap and bad quality, it happens that most countries like to buy cheap things from China to compete in the market for prices. Chinese people are smart and hard working enough to have stuff for any budget and request.
He shows you the most famous Canadian in China, an internationalist doctor who saved many Chinese people during the war
As a Dongbei Chinese currently living/working in Canada, I actually cannot wait for your Harbin vlog! guobaorou/锅包肉 is a must try and bao bun is completely defferent in Harbin than the one you had in Shanghai. Morning market is a heaven for all kinds of freshly made breakfast, and just imagine having hotpot in one of those shiny ice houses!
Dongbei(northeast territory of China) is famous for its Xuehua(snow flakes) beer, Shaokao(meat skewer), lamb hotpot and much more. It has a very rich and diverse culture, you will be able to see both North Korean and Russian influences, as it is located on the border between these three countries.
Growing up as a Manchu(满族) Chinese there, I've had a lot of Chinese Korean(朝鲜族) classmates, and you will even find some white faces speaking perfectly local accent(Chinese Russian), and of course Han Chinese. Muslim Chinese(回族) also hold a significant population there and their Halal food is out of this world.
It may not be as advanced as those mega cities you've been to because Harbin, or Dongbei in general, has fallen behind the current trend. However, I truly hope you can enjoy the culture and diversity there. It is a very unique region in China, and I am pretty sure you as Canadian will find weather there familiar.
I wish you can see my comment and keep up the good work Steve and Ivana!
The diversity you describe sounds lovely. I wish to visit dongbei b4 it becomes a mega city. Mega cities are dull.
@@yummemys4608 Mega cities are dull, maybe most of it depends on the people there. Due to China is so big and some areas are in the tropics or subtropics, where there is no snow, when winter comes, people flock to Harbin. In order to receive them this year, ordinary residents brought thermal buckets to major attractions to provide hot drinks for tourists for free. Ordinary residents also offered their own cars to take tired tourists back to the hotel. Government departments such as the Market Supervision Bureau impose requirements on each hotel not to allow excessive price increases. This is what I have seen on the Chinese version of tiktok. Like me, there are accounts with only a few dozen followers. I also want to take pictures and make videos in Harbin. If I hadn’t had no money in my wallet, I would have been playing in Harbin/(ㄒ oㄒ)/~~
The video of this trip to Chongqing is so funny!
The male owner of the clothing store didn’t let Ivana pay because he said he didn’t want to make money off of Chinese people (joking 😂), plus the Canadian he knows is Bai Qiu'en, a Canadian doctor who came to China to help rescue the Chinese during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. Chongqing city is a dock city, so the store owner's personality is very much characteristic of dock city culture (talkative and warm) 😂
Norman Bethune from Gravenhurst, Ontario
the last boots for 50yuan is because the size is not enough
我是重庆人，看到你第一次去这种商场就可以如此熟练和精准的和店主砍价我简直惊呆了，我觉得我还没有你会讨价还价，🤣毫不夸张的说，如果是我去砍价，我都不一定能拿到你的成交价！😅
是的，你真会砍价，我也做不到。不过，好久不在实体店买衣服了，一直是网购，确实没想到可以砍这么多。
他是外国人又这么执着， 国男拉不下面子与女店员搞拉据战。
简直了，我都怕我被店主打😂直接就对半打折😂
外国人还是有一点砍价优势的🤣语言不通成为了一个长项哈哈哈
If you buy a down jacket in the south, you will feel very cold when you arrive in Harbin because the jacket is not thick enough. Just like you buy a swimsuit in Canada and go to Mexico, or buy a down jacket in Cuba and go to Canada for the winter.
每个中国人从小学就会学习白求恩医生的事迹，在中国人的心中他就是伟大的国际主义战士。
Hello bloggers, I saw your videos elsewhere and wanted to say that Chongqing is a warmer city, but Harbin is a very cold city. Winter clothes bought in Chongqing may not be enough to withstand the cold winter in Harbin. , so you may buy some warmer clothes when you arrive in Harbin, and also buy some thermal patches. They can generate heat and can be bought in pharmacies.❤
almost every Canadian don't know Dr. Bethune. he is a great man came to China for help us in WW II. 90 years passed and we never forget him. His name in Chinese is Buy Chil En. Next time they talk about him you will know.
中国人比加拿大人更懂白求恩吗😂
As a Chinese, I recommend you to visit the ruins of Unit 731 in Harbin. You can reach this museum by taking Line 1 to the terminal station, Xinjiang Street.
731现在要预约了，我感觉他们搞不定😅
推荐两个加拿大人去看中日战争博物馆？不知道说你什么好
我觉得没什么，外国人不知道731，建议他们去看看怎么了？要遮起来不能见人的是日本人，不知道你什么想法。难道你是台湾人？ 每个中国人都希望世界人民知道发生在中国的事情，这个世界不是只有犹太人才是受害者。@@gilbert8156
@@gilbert8156当然可以去看！残酷的战争不分国籍！
人家是去旅游的，干嘛要去看战争博物馆，添堵吗？@@yyds7776
Chinese people will remember the help that from other foreigners during the hard times, bcz they are so grateful.
Norman Bethune is the most famous Canadian in China. He was a Canadian surgeon and came to China during WWII to support the China's war of resistance against Japan. He died in China. This is what the clothing market seller said to you via his mobile phone
Most of the down jackets in the south are very thin（
Seeing Chinese people treating foreigners with respect regardless of the colour or race is very impressive. Incredible.Long Live China.😍😍😍
Dr. Norman Bethune sacrificed his life for Chinese people and is well respected in all city China! Our Canadian China friends ship started from Dr. Bethune willing to go to China to help Chinese community at that time considering China is very rural and hardship life but his heart is with the Chinese people and contribute his entire life to China!
I don’t know what the coldest climate in Canada is, but In my point of view, just wearing these in Harbin is way not enough. I highly recommend you guys prepare more thicker and warmer clothes, pants, shoes, scarves and gloves.
The silent battle of bargains was so much fun to watch.😂
So much fun to watch you two💕
That guy wanted to tell you that a Canadian, Bethune was Chinese people's great friend, a university was named after him, now it is part of Jilin Unniversity, Norman Bethune Health Science Center of Jilin University.
If you want to bargain, maybe you mention his name will help a little.
Hi, the price tag on the clothes is not the real selling price. You have to ask the salesperson for a quote, and then you can make a counter-offer.😂
我小时候大概是二十年前，是你说的这种情况那时候服装店都没有明码标价。但是现在已经不是了，所有的店铺都要明码标价，否则你可以举报他违法。而且很多都写着谢绝还价。现在还价的情况确实是越来越少的
The man he show is Dr. Norman Bethune, who is probably the most famous foreigner known by Chinese people. Even illiterate elders know his life and appreciate the great friendship between people from the two countries❤ and symbolize for the internationalism during WW2.
I am literally watching this video in my hotel room in Harbin and can confirm that it's freezing here and you should definitely bring warm clothes! the ones you get in the video look alright though
Waiting for your new video about Harbin. Hope you enjoy the trip there.
还没更新？😂
梦幻联动了❤
Harbin is too cold, you can go to a pharmacy and buy some warm packs. These are the kind that you can stick on the inside of your clothes to generate heat. They are very useful and also quite cheap.
People over 40 years old know Canada as Dr. Bethune. During the cruel wars in our history, Dr. Bethune came to help us, but unfortunately died here. We will always remember him.
I discovered this YT channel in December and so far its my favorite new channel in 2024.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Me too
You need to wear a down jacket with a down content of 300~500 grams if you go to Harbin now. I just came back from there.
Will you go to Chengdu, Sichuan Province to see giant pandas?
Where are there so many giant pandas!
First of all, the uncle who sells clothes is outgoing and responsible for soliciting customers. Secondly, the uncle mistook lvana for a Chinese and thought she was leading you on a tour. It's hilarious, usually only men who start families with Chinese girls get this kind of treatment, even though it's only a legal son, they will treat you like their own son, intimate and not distant. When I saw the uncle pulling you in front of his stall and talking a lot, he thought lvana could understand until you guys finished shopping and were about to leave, the uncle's wife came out and told him that she felt that neither of you could understand Chinese. Uncle suddenly realized and said to lvana, 'So you don't understand either'. Laughed so hard I had tears in my eyes🤣
I have been watching videos about Harbin from Chinese tik Tok these few days. Definitely going this year end.
Hello from Natal, Brazil. Your videos just make me smile. (I travel vicariously through you guys… favorite travel vlog. )❤❤
Be careful not to slip when going to Harbin. I slipped many times during my trip to Harbin ten years ago because the ground was covered in thick ice. The indoors in Harbin is very warm, but the outdoors is indeed very cold. I guess you also need a hat and gloves that can cover your ears. Some gloves can also be used on mobile phones. There are gloves available locally in Harbin (because they have this demand), so if you cannot find a suitable one, you can go to Harbin to purchase it. You always discover a beautiful place in the city and will always follow you, a fan from China.
That is a very good suggestion. Even though they are Canadian and know how to handle winter with -20 to -30 degree, it is better to have a pair of Ice Cleat ready.
@@joeblack888quite right!
As an Asian... you have learned how to negotiate... reducing the price by half is the right thing to do when shopping in retail or wholesale markets...
Probably not true in China now. Many people don’t want to waste time on bargaining.
don't get him wrong at 14:30 the guy trying to show you guys doctor Bethune who came to China for helping chinese people gainst japenses invasion during world war2. Chinese people used to love Canada becouse of that. Actually that chinese business guy was very friendly.
Lmao the Chinese dude teaching you how to pronounce “Canada” in Chinese had me rolling 😂
That funny shopkeeper thinks your wife is Chinese. Later, he asked you to scan his QR code, but you refused, he thought you thought this code was deceptive (some bad people in China let others scan the unknown code to steal information and property), so he said this is the payment code, if he cheated you he would be deported. He meant no harm, just a special way of showing kindness. And This kind of mall can bargain, the store will raise the price so that there is room for customers to bargain. The price of the tag is of no reference significance.
You two are simply unreasonable.
In today's technological era, you can use various translation applications, but you don't think about using them at all.
In China even though people don't have the same attitude towards fitness as those in the west it is not hard to see that the average Chinese person is more fit than the average american. The time spent on walking/standing far outweighs the time spent sitting in a car. And most malls, including the one in this video, are at least 6 floors high whereas most malls in America are only 2 floors if not just single. That means more stair climbing, and this is also reflected in mountain climbing, which is how a lot of Chinese people spend their holidays.
I know some of the local people speaks very loud just like they are shouting. But they are not hostile to you, they are just try to communicate with you, and a little kidding to you.
Bro thank you, you made my day, I laughed the whole of the video
Chongqing people talk in a way that is very much like quarreling,In fact, they are all well-intentioned
对！重庆地处山地！说话就粗旷些！没那么温柔！内心深处对人友善！😂
The jackets you bought is definitely not enough for such cold weather considering the price!
true
Just a reminder. The clothes purchased in the Chongqing is probably not fit for the Harbin. Because the coldest temperature is only around -4C.😂 The clothes here is not ready for the -20C.
I don't know much about it, but I looked on the Internet. I translated a piece of information from the Chinese Internet about what to wear in Harbin.
-10 to -19 degrees
Upper body: base (quick drying)+ small down jacket (about 80 grams of down content)+ long down jacket (about 250-300 grams of down filling)
Lower body: quick dry pants + 600-800g cotton pants + ski charge pants
Hat (plus velvet), scarf, earmuffs, gloves (plus velvet), Uggs (plus wool insoles)
-20 degrees below: On the basis of the above, put on the wool sweater
In addition, you can buy warm and cheap clothes directly in Harbin. Many people on social networks mentioned several wholesale clothing stores next to the Sophia Church. Hope this helps.
What a fun and interesting experience you guys have in Chongqing! As a Chongqing native I really enjoy watching it.
Bargaining is a must in these kinds of markets, and sometimes you can negotiate prices down to one-third of the original price. I recommend trying online shopping in China, where you might find two pairs of Martin shoes of the same quality for just $50. It was an interesting episode. I wish you all a great time exploring Northeast China!
You are very brave, actually shopping in a mall where bargaining is required. I am in China and I rarely go to these places to buy clothes. I only buy clothes at Uniqlo
商场现在都是明码标价，而且价格很便宜。我虽然不在重庆我住在郑州，但并不像你说的那样
In China, the number between the thumb and index finger means 8, not 7, so the green down jacket is 288, not 277
32:19 Because some shops don't accept credit card in alipay. You need to add a debit card to your alipay account in this case.
It's not enough to wear it like this! You can buy them in Harbin where prices will be cheaper. The friendliness of the locals is crazy, they will give free drinks and snacks to tourists on the street even after driving you to your destination!
Hai Steve and Ivana.... I'm glad you're finally in Chongqing... I once wrote to you to visit Chongqing... I really wanted to go there but it's just not my time yet.... I hope you enjoy your trip there... Stay safe stay healthy...!!!
ChongQing is well known as the mountain-city ，you must be impressed by the amazing buildings and complicated roads.
Your videos are so interesting, but at the sime time, so funny! Come to Portugal, you guys will love. Cheers!
In China, you guys should bargain with the shop owner when you buy some clothes and small thing. The price on the price tag is not the real sell price.
That was nice bargain😂😂😂 I cannot even bargain like you do as an Chinese
Me😂too.
Basically he is saying Canadians are good people despite the political disagreements
We love your vids. You’re both so natural as you vlog. Question: how many times can you enter China via the 144 hour visa? Meaning once a month? Once every 90 days?
Not sure... but we have done it twice in a few weeks now, and plan to go back for CNY. And thank for the support! We're glad you enjoy our vlogs
Reminds me of my trip to Japan. It wasn't even winter yet but I felt cold already. Osaka was cold and rainy that day so needed to get a thicker jacket. Went to uniqlo to buy a warm jacket. Don't need it in Malaysia, so my daughter took it back to Perth .
New to the channel. Super cute couple. Please keep going. Thank you!
这期真的好好笑，你们俩夫妇太可爱了。
到达了哈尔滨，你会买到更适合哈尔滨的衣物。就是要先冻一会儿😂
ali pay works with proper vendors, but some of the shops use their personal code to accept transfers (not transactions), which won't be accepted as you guys are using a foreign bank card
小气的老板就是没开通信用交易
The clerk wanted to express that a doctor from Canada, whose Chinese name is Bethune, has helped Chinese. The Chinese thank him and will shelter his children and grandchildren.
You guys should use google translate (or other apps) on voice input mode more in China.
Did you see that viral video of a local showing the city? With him going to the top of buildings and then descending to the middle of it to left at a street, then entering another building, going to the top and leaving at a another street and so on?
Would be nice if you could try something like that during your explorations.
Just make sure your feet are warm, Harbin is really freezing cold, I grew up in Harbin. Looking forward the Harbin episode 😊
I'm guessing your Ali Pay is only using a credit card, while that QR code in the shoe shop is for money transfer only (which requires your Ali to use a debit card).
Tbh, as a Chinese I don’t even understand what the man owner said…😅dialects are so different from region to region
the alipay issue, because only registered company work for credit card, for individual shop, only saving card or alipay credit would work
Great shopping venues in Chongqing city, before going to Harbin for the famous winter wonderland! Looking forward to seeing Harbin city.
hi steve！I need to remind you that Harbin is very cold, it is 30 degrees below zero, so the clothes you bought may not be warm enough, and you need other warmer equipment, otherwise you will get frostbite!
When negotiating for Steve's boots, you opened with 250, and the shopkeeper looked a bit taken aback, this is because "250" can be interpreted as an insult "二百五", she probably realized that you were unaware but it caught her off-guard. In the future do 251 or 249.
Good negotating skills!! Keep safe, healthy and happy.
As a Sichuanese whose culture is similar to Chongqing. I understand what that man did. Our culture here believes that a husband's submission to his wife means he loves his wife. He is a typical Chongqing person with a bad temper and loud voice. He thought your girlfriend was a native of Chongqing, but she was too gentle. So he's encouraging your girlfriend to be tougher on you, by stoping her use money. Then he got beaten by his wife and shut up. Typical Chongqing man🤣
hhhhhh
