This is so wonderful to see. As a black woman who spent over a decade living in three different Asian countries, I know full well how diverse Asia actually is in its major cities, with tons of African immigrants who speak the native language and have integrated themselves into the culture. You NEVER see that depicted in Hollywood movies and rarely even see it in movies produced in those countries. How refreshing!
RIGHT. They do put Africans in modern dramas sometimes but it's always showing dirt roads and guns. I've never been to Africa but I know Africa is more than dirt roads, huts, diamonds and guns. I worked at an African culture center in NY and met many Africans from various countries. We black people are more than stereotypes and I wish people would sit down and get to know us so they can properly depict us in film.
Ya know why ? Cause ⚪️Supremacy said no. The reason they said no it’s because they did not want you to see Melynne in person in love with a person that could be your counterpart that look like her. They waited to then make gender wars in between melanin and people so that the melanin woman divest from the community. This is why movies like this are coming out now let alone television shows which show non-melanin people with Melanin then women to show that to Melynne and then woman can be submissive to people that will never change “⚪️” supremacy. The timing is important as the game is so melanin people divest and never ever find resolve or accountability of what has happened to them Just divest as to make ya feel better or good from what supremacy has done ❤

I see Asian men married to African women all the time on the internet, I'm glad this was made.. I got chills, I'm sure it's going to arouse so many emotions
@@ANineOne, name the others then & I’ll go watch them, I swear I will because I haven’t seen ANY films where the main characters of a romantic film are an Asian Man & a Black Woman. And I have been looking 👀
I noticed that too. Whoever produced/directed this film did an excellent job going into detail with the vibrant colors and how it adds to this film. Even the wardrobe looks well put together
African filmmakers sure know how to light black skin to show it in all its beauty. Often on American and European films/TV series, they make people's skin look orange or grey. Not here.
I will be the first to watch this 😍😍I never thought I’d see a DARK SKIN black woman as the lead (and no stereotypes??) in a movie with an Asian love interest??? Love this!
Well as Asian myself, we can be racist too (everyone can be racist) and while in my country not really care about cloro skin, we kind have struggle to look Afro hair style, you know that not straight and look hard getting hair brush. So i think it's really cool finally see foreign people (that not white) in love with asia. I kind feel bored that it's look mostly white and asian love story. I want different
Well I don’t know about most but I only date Asians nowadays so I think the media needs to reflect that . As I’m tired of people assuming I want a blk man as a blk woman.
This is major my daughter begin to learn in Cantonese for seven years since she was in kindergarten she is part of a group of black children(8) graduated from her Chinese immersion school. I’m really happy to see this not many people know or see black women speak fluent Chinese can’t wait for this to come out.
As a Black woman xuexi Zhongwen (studying Chinese) at university, this intrigues me greatly. It was awesome to be able to understand some of this, and I look forward to watching a story like this unfold on this big screen because it's long overdue. I don't know how many Chinese films have actually focused on this particular topic, but this is really shaping-up to be a very impactful film.

You know what,@@keymusabe7207, I completely understand your point and have contended with similar thoughts regarding certain pushes that may or may not be presently made in society in-step with certain agendas; but I think it's a slippery slope to equate every instance of interracial relation and depictions thereof with the aforementioned because it deludes the reality of true connection between many people.
Or because this is a 1 in a million occurrence in the reality of China where there are only 500k Africans out of a Chinese population of 1.4 billion people. I think if they do any movies about China, this teeny tiny fraction of the population would be the last thing typically on their minds to focus on for obvious reasons. It’s not racism.

@@toomuchinformation As far as movies and TV shows go, I want to see people fall in love for the right reasons and nothing based on stereotypes and I'll leave it at that.
@@butjay11I caught your meaning and I agree. Movies that approach interracial (and other) relationships in a tasteful, respectful and authentic manner are refreshing.
Oh wow, African and Asian romance movie. This is very interesting and refreshing. I cant wait to watch it. The visuals are so beautiful. The camera did justice to her skin, so rich and elegant. I'll be watching simply to see her 😊
The thumbnail alone got me! And of course the trailer didn’t disappoint. The male lead is handsome and female is also beautiful. I’m glad the characters are older and not early 20’s (overly done). I’m just ready to watch something I don’t often see.
I will definitely be seated, watching, and crying! I feel like this movie was made especially for me!! I’m African, I speak Mandarin Chinese, and I post videos about tea!! I will be obsessed for sure!!!
WOW. Wothin the first 5 secdonds I was like, "Omg sensual!!" From the dimly lit scene to the line of tea, but we already can assume the double meaning behind it! Wow. And thank GOD that they did her hair right. 🙌🏼 "Right" as in beautifully displayed her hair with elegance which makes her character radiate from the inside out. 😍 I will be having an eagle eye to make sure that I catch this movie!
I knooooooow! I mean, there was another one that premiered a few years ago, but I think it was a low budget film. I've forgotten the name of it already but I think the Asian guy was raised in the hood. I don't know. 🤷🏽♀️ All I remember is that he played basketball. 🏀
@@pagethreemodel you mean Taylour Paige (she got married but I don't know her husband's surname) and the movie is called Boogie. What I'm waiting for a major production to do AMBW rom but I still love this❤.
As someone from Zimbabwe we are going to be seeing A LOT more Asian/African media because the co-mingling of the two continents is strong and will only get stronger as the west continues to distance itself as "superior" while diminishing our ability to grow.
Indeed, the majority of the Sub Saharan countries entered of Africa is again colonized. This time by Asia. That's not co-mingling, its called colonizing.
@@5x7m I'm African. They aren't colonizing, you are just projecting your post colonial guilt. It generally feels better when someone accuses someone in part taking their own peoples past crimes, because then everyone hands are covered in blood its easier to rationalize that everyone deep down is a thief than to accept that it was just your great grandfather who decided to that that heinous opportunity. Yes different African tribes have enslaved each other as well so some groups even in our continents have blood on their hands as well (for slavery mainly) however the amount of material wealth stolen by far didn't not contribute nothing but encroachment and further suffering on our own lands. We are waking up, to our disgusting corrupt leaders who sell out our people and wealth leaking out of the country to benefit the west their supporters & only enrich themselves. As well as the many unfair trading practices, destabilization efforts and proxy wars employed against our people. We don't see Chinese people putting guns at our heads and enforcing apartheid on our lands. However if they do so we will act accordingly just like any hostile nation, don't treat us like children you act like you are the owners of our continent. Its not like we are bending over backwards to the Chinese but rather its an equal relationship of partners, something Europeans can't seem to fathom the idea of seeing/treating Africans as equal people. They act as if paternalistic and giving 0 benefits is what a person would really prefer, you don't come to the table as equals & convey respect. Now all of a sudden the west has an invested take on the reality of us Africans being exploited despite us being exploited for how long? by both Arabs and Europeans this is heard on deaf ears. Its not about us you are worried about nor our rights but this rhetoric is instead driven by hatred not care or love. Where was all this attention in Africa before China showed up, rather instead jokes of our countries being sh1tholes while actively funding terrorist organizations (and installing/supporting dictatorships) and etc was perpetuated throughout media & aid campaigns going straight into pro-western dictactors new mansion then patting themselves on the bag that they have helped a great deal. Not all of the west is bad per say. There are some countries doing good like the European Nordic countries, Germany, Italy. But there is far more powerful and worse actors e.g Britain, France and USA using us as basically a free resource continent.
Thrills my soul, beautiful storyline and amazingly striking black female sister, her hair, skin, wowowowow im so happy to see this. Its a rarity of sorts to see a lady on screen with my hair texture and skin tone even when watching African movies.
Love this. Breaking visual bounds. Movies that reflect our worlds true diversity instead of falling for the same cliché over and over is the future of cinema.
It's rare to see a movie like this, and with that, I am pleased with these diverse characters. Looks like a beautiful story, and the cinematography is absolutely beautiful.
When I tell you seeing this trailer has brought me so much joy! I recently became a tea sommelier and seeing a Black woman in a film in the world of tea is a FIRST for me. Kudos to all involved!
me as an African seeing this as very normal as we have so many of these couples. lol But it really depends where you are coming from and how welcoming people are.
As a Black American, who's been learning Mandarin since December 2019, this makes me soooooooooooohappy to see a black person in a positive light, in a Chinese film. 😢🤗🤗🥰🥰 I can't wait to see this!!!! I hope it's good, and I hope their love prevails. 🫶🏽🫰🏽❤
@@divinesintervention 我有SSOOOOO MAAAAAANNY TIPS: 1.) learning 10 characters a week is better than learning nothing at all. 2.） Set a goal and stick to it 3.) Don't rush through the material. Study the same chapter 10 times. 🥹 Complete chapter 1 go to chapter 2 Complete chapter 2, review 1 and 2. Complete chapter 3 review 1,2,3 4.) Know why you're learning. 5.) HSK is a good foundation. Complete all levels before venturing off 6.) Mastery comes from practicing 1 kick 10,000 times. 7.) Review and quiz yourself. I would listen to flashcard videos and write what I heard even if I forgot the stroke order 8.) Use the Shadow technique to practice speaking. 9.) Natives aren't that kind to beginners so get your vocab weight up 10) pick a drama that you can watch on repeat and study the dialogues or at least the main vocabulary of each topic. Alot of dramas of the same genre have the same theme and they kind of recycle everything 11.) Don't buy any new books until you've completed the ones you have 12.) Download Hello talk - you'll probably meet someone who's a beginner just like but you guys should learn phrases like: "What's the difference between A and B?" And " Can you repeat what you said more slowly?" (As a beginner) 13.) Graded readers - I hope you can find some with audio but make reading a chapter or a book from graded readers something you do every Sunday, at least. It helps your eyes get used to reading the characters And soooo muuuchhh moooorrreee idk
@@divinesintervention Oh yes, see if you can take a Chinese 101 course in college. You'll get a free tutor through the school and the teachers are always professional and eager to help, plus you might find native speakers in the class who are just there to learn writing.
@@divinesintervention I'm going to look for the schedule I made for myself during my first year of studying but it was intense.... I I studied 4 days a week for nearly 4 hours a day during the first 6 months but years later some of these techniques stuck with me better and that was the flashcards writing test, reading, studying a specific drama or scene, literally defining character by character, learning how to write each character and learning basic sentences using those characters. I've done so much and I still have a long way to go. I've barely studied in this last year, because I started focusing on leveling up my Korean, and finishing my degree in Linguistics,but I'm motivated again. Brb
What's wrong? Why does this make you so happy? Why are black people always the only ones to rejoice in mixed race? As a black and African man, I am totally against this kind of mentality. There's nothing special about it. Lol
wah wow! ... omg that's so wow! wah I got no word to describe how surprising and heart warming it is. Wow...! That's such an important movie thank you sm to the scenarist, wow...
WOW 😢🥹🥹🥹🥰 Thank you for this, as a black woman who’s traveled to these places CHANGED MY LIFE! I appreciate this, I want to see this and more stories like this! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
THIS !!! , THIS !!!, THIS are the stories I been waiting to be in theaters, I'm so happy this film is happening. I'm tired of seeing the same story, give us something new , I want to see other parts of the world and stories that make you feel something
I am celebrating also surprised that it’s 2024 and until now I had not seen a single Chinese + African romance story. Looks beautiful… eagerly waiting to see it
She looks so beautiful and this is indeed different. Most movies don't show such a beautiful soft spoken black woman. I follow a few black UA-camrs who speak mandarin and are in Asian countries shoeing you the various people and interactions. The man looks handsome and mature. I will defiantly watch it.
I wish y'all would stop with the "As a black woman/man/person" narrative. You do not have to explain that part. As a screenwriter and filmmaker, the visuals are giving & the story is too. Loved hearing the actress speak an Asian language (don't know which one. Is it Chinese? I only studied for a year). Loved the topic of tea but as noted in the comments, hate that the love interest is 15 years older than her. Hope to see it soon ❤

Not all of the west is bad per say. There are some countries doing good like the European Nordic countries, Germany, Italy. But there is far more powerful and worse actors e.g Britain, France and USA using us as basically a free resource continent.
Her hair is so beautifully done 🔥🔥🔥
Thats it ✨️
I'm having tea and watching this ☝️😌🫰
Did i just see some Rwandan traditional moves? i am down for this movie already!
ikr, i saw that too, which got me more excited!
Yesss I clocked that
The leading actress doesn’t look like a Rwandan, she may be Bantu or Senegalese.
@@Veronique428 most of us Africans are Bantu including east Africans which Includes Rwanda too
@@KyeyuneBatuma I think they're trying to say she doesn't look Habesha because many Rwandans look like Ethiopians.
This looks beautiful.
Thrills my soul, beautiful storyline and amazingly striking black female sister, her hair, skin, wowowowow im so happy to see this. Its a rarity of sorts to see a lady on screen with my hair texture and skin tone even when watching African movies.
Love this. Breaking visual bounds. Movies that reflect our worlds true diversity instead of falling for the same cliché over and over is the future of cinema.
It's rare to see a movie like this, and with that, I am pleased with these diverse characters. Looks like a beautiful story, and the cinematography is absolutely beautiful.
I love the premise of this story!! A Romance for the 21st and 22nd century!
When I tell you seeing this trailer has brought me so much joy! I recently became a tea sommelier and seeing a Black woman in a film in the world of tea is a FIRST for me. Kudos to all involved!
me as an African seeing this as very normal as we have so many of these couples. lol But it really depends where you are coming from and how welcoming people are.
Woow as an africaj who studied and worked in Asia this is beautiful to see and seems like such a tasteful and timeless movie
There’s so many Black woman and Asian married couples in real life, I’m glad it’s getting screen time in a TASTEFUL way.
The music, language, and tea had me.
Its wonderful the leads are really beautiful people. Hollywood will never give beautiful POC time of the day as leads.
I wish they would, instead of casting frogs like Hallie Bailey 🐸.
There’s a lot of African and Asian interracial relationships happening. Especially after the pandemic and I am here for it.
Why? Weren't we supposed to distance during the pandemic, not get together.
Internet interaction turns to IRL attraction @@mytv89626
I cannot wait to watch this! The young lady in this movie is stunning and the Asian man is so handsome!
finally a unique movie. i am so intrigued.
Some Tea, a beautiful black woman and an handsome asian mature man.... bye. Can't wait!
As a Black American, who's been learning Mandarin since December 2019, this makes me soooooooooooohappy to see a black person in a positive light, in a Chinese film. 😢🤗🤗🥰🥰 I can't wait to see this!!!! I hope it's good, and I hope their love prevails. 🫶🏽🫰🏽❤
Oh my gosh, do you have any tips?
@@divinesintervention 我有SSOOOOO MAAAAAANNY TIPS:
1.) learning 10 characters a week is better than learning nothing at all.
2.） Set a goal and stick to it
3.) Don't rush through the material. Study the same chapter 10 times. 🥹 Complete chapter 1 go to chapter 2
Complete chapter 2, review 1 and 2. Complete chapter 3 review 1,2,3
4.) Know why you're learning.
5.) HSK is a good foundation. Complete all levels before venturing off
6.) Mastery comes from practicing 1 kick 10,000 times.
7.) Review and quiz yourself. I would listen to flashcard videos and write what I heard even if I forgot the stroke order
8.) Use the Shadow technique to practice speaking.
9.) Natives aren't that kind to beginners so get your vocab weight up
10) pick a drama that you can watch on repeat and study the dialogues or at least the main vocabulary of each topic. Alot of dramas of the same genre have the same theme and they kind of recycle everything
11.) Don't buy any new books until you've completed the ones you have
12.) Download Hello talk - you'll probably meet someone who's a beginner just like but you guys should learn phrases like:
"What's the difference between A and B?" And " Can you repeat what you said more slowly?" (As a beginner)
13.) Graded readers - I hope you can find some with audio but make reading a chapter or a book from graded readers something you do every Sunday, at least. It helps your eyes get used to reading the characters
And soooo muuuchhh moooorrreee idk
@@divinesintervention Oh yes, see if you can take a Chinese 101 course in college.
You'll get a free tutor through the school and the teachers are always professional and eager to help, plus you might find native speakers in the class who are just there to learn writing.
@@divinesintervention I'm going to look for the schedule I made for myself during my first year of studying but it was intense....
I I studied 4 days a week for nearly 4 hours a day during the first 6 months but years later some of these techniques stuck with me better and that was the flashcards writing test, reading, studying a specific drama or scene, literally defining character by character, learning how to write each character and learning basic sentences using those characters. I've done so much and I still have a long way to go. I've barely studied in this last year, because I started focusing on leveling up my Korean, and finishing my degree in Linguistics,but I'm motivated again. Brb
What's wrong? Why does this make you so happy? Why are black people always the only ones to rejoice in mixed race? As a black and African man, I am totally against this kind of mentality. There's nothing special about it. Lol
THANK YOU for displaying other romances instead of the usual generic
Oh my goodness, I love it. Love love love it

Kudos to the director for this breath of fresh air.
Debunking these ugly tropes, memes and malice towards Black women. I love it. And I’ve been loving black tea a very long time. Lapsang Souchong!
About time. I've been waiting for a movie like this!
THIS!!! This is what I've been looking for!! Loving that she speaks Mandarin also and the way the love forms is so romantic. Defiantly watching this!
Oooooo I saw that traditional Rwandan dancing ❤❤❤🇷🇼 Rwandan black tea is one of my favorites in this world!
THIS !!! , THIS !!!, THIS are the stories I been waiting to be in theaters, I'm so happy this film is happening. I'm tired of seeing the same story, give us something new , I want to see other parts of the world and stories that make you feel something
This is ground breaking. I have been waiting fir exactly this. More films like this, please. I'm mesmerized by her fluency
Dialect coach.
I am celebrating also surprised that it’s 2024 and until now I had not seen a single Chinese + African romance story. Looks beautiful… eagerly waiting to see it
This looks so good!!!! 😮🔥
As a black Buddhist woman who loves East Asian culture and has read “The Way of Tea” i absolutely love this and can’t wait to see it 😁🙏🏾🍵
Interesting! When a cup of tea bring people together despite their background and differences
This movie look so beautiful and comforting! I can't wait to see it !
As someone who HATES subtitles I am looking forward to seeing this.
Facts! 😂😂😂😂😂
This looks so beautiful and so painful uuuugggghhhh can't wait to watch
this looks soo cool. I always wanted to see a movie about a black woman in eastern asia. i think its a fascinating story
Wow!! I think She is from my country Rwanda,the dance they were dancing is ours 😍
THE ROMANCE FILM I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR ALLLLL MY LIIIIFE!!! Cannot wait to see this 😁
This is so beautiful and a breathe of fresh air. Cant wait for it to be out
I speak Mandarin and I think this is something beautiful.
I will be watching that for sure!!!
The woman is gorgeous 👌
I am ABSOLUTELY watching. YUP. YUP. YUP!!!
Wow wow wow. Mr Abderrahmane Sissako does it again. Delicate and captivating already.
Fuck yes!! Cambodian American here. Can wait to see this! I love love, where ever it comes from❤
❤ worth seeing
Black is known to embrace all the culture but dont nobody wanna embrace theirs
Thank you for making this movie. I'm definitely watching this!
She looks so beautiful and this is indeed different. Most movies don't show such a beautiful soft spoken black woman. I follow a few black UA-camrs who speak mandarin and are in Asian countries shoeing you the various people and interactions. The man looks handsome and mature. I will defiantly watch it.
Oh wow what a unique concept!!! Looks very romantic, I’ll have to keep an eye out for this!
I wish y'all would stop with the "As a black woman/man/person" narrative. You do not have to explain that part.
As a screenwriter and filmmaker, the visuals are giving & the story is too. Loved hearing the actress speak an Asian language (don't know which one. Is it Chinese? I only studied for a year). Loved the topic of tea but as noted in the comments, hate that the love interest is 15 years older than her. Hope to see it soon ❤
Yes it is Chinese
