Three reasons are are sufficient: no gun shooting, no drug, virtually no violence. In China, the police do not carry gun on street patrol. Image what would happen in America if the police do not carry gun on duty?
I’m British but I lived in Shanghai for 2 years and I agree with everything you said in your video! I was a primary school teacher in Shanghai and it’s a great place for kids to grow up! I subscribed 😊
lol as a local here I have to be against you on raising children in China. the 99% stereotype or twisted info from west MSM are wrong, but I have to admit is below 2 points from China: forced study kids brutally + crazy traffic ... haha not a joke, but maybe you guys as foreigners can escape this education competition somehow.
was in Shenzhen for a week, was absolutely blown away by it! world class infrastructures, diverse and delicious cuisines, abundance of beautiful and green parks, clean and futuristic urban surroundings. I am currently living in Australia, but do fancy a part time retirement there!
Yes, basically today Shenzhen is an migrant city where its citizen were mostly migrant. Similar like Chongqing which also consist a lot of migrant from other region of China. From my experience.. city with a lot of migrant, the people are more lenient and friendlier because each of them were migrant.
I am originally from China but I grew up in England and the Netherlands and have now lived in the U.S. for 7 years. It's such a breath of fresh air to see foreigners who see past the stereotypes and appreciate the Chinese way of life! I agree with everything you said! My American husband is very concerned about the gun violence and drug abuse in the U.S. and wants to raise our future kids in China 😄. I hope your family enjoy your life in Shenzhen!
In my opinion that would be a great idea. Your future kids won’t have to worry about knife or gun violence, they would learn the Chinese language properly, learn how to respect their elders, and eat delicious food every day 😉. If you can teach them English yourself, they are golden here in China 🫶🏻
we just had our first child here in the US and want to move to china (wife is from china) for these same exact reasons. safety is by far the biggest reason.
Fair enough, but most of US is also safe. 6000 murders plus every year in China. Nowhere has guaranteed safety. Covid wasn’t exactly safe. Could happen again in China.

Kudos to your family for embracing the idea of living and raising your kids in China when the western media is trying their hardest to paint a very different picture about the great nation of China. Wishing your family all the best in all you do ! On a side note, the intro of your videos is soooo cool, it always reminds me of the TV show “The Three’s Company” back in the 80’s. 😊
Knowing both English and Chinese, you will embrace almost the whole world. Most people don't understand each other because of the language barrier, and your family is very visionary
Totally agree! "No one can make the right decision. We can only make the decisions and then MAKE them RIGHT." Both of you are MAKING it RIGHT for your children.
You are right. Kids in the West are exposed to drugs and sex at an early age. I visited UK quite regularly because my in laws live there. I can see lots of teenagers as young as 11, 12 wearing revealing clothes and heavy make up，swearing and having boyfriends/girlfriends seems center of their lives.
Yeah I find it shocking. It wasn’t like that in the 80’s and 90’s when I grew up in the Netherlands. Things were more innocent and wholesome. I can only blame the internet for that, and pop culture. Even though I love pop culture, some stuff should be for after 10pm…😅
realy cool family with the great parents and children, enjoy your life and future in China! Your kids will have brilliant opportunity to make big careers！
You are great parents raising children in China, especially for the first reason. They are trilingual and will become international citizens in the future and will be very competitive.
Your opinions are so clear and convincing! Keep on recording the real life environment in China and hopefully attract more subscribers and get more support for you all!
Thank you! We’ve been recording for years now, but I’m not so sure people like to see a wholesome family in China 😂 nonetheless we keep going cause these videos are awesome memories for us and our family as well.

Best regards from Germany. I am very interested in China. I know your channel because I read a book about Shenzhen and you were interviewed there. I've been watching your videos ever since. I would like to see more videos like this where we can find out more about your thoughts and motivations ❤
Best of luck to you guys and hope a bright and happy future for the 2 little ones. Their upbringing/parenting and exposure to different cultures will definitely pave their way to one.
Good choice to raise your kids in Shenzhen. It's the most diverse city in China for its close location with Hong Kong and Macau and everybody comes from all over the country.
Great to see your subscribers increase quickly, suggesting you make an interview with deedee and fredy, asked them several questions about China and also let them tell fans about the difference between the west and China, and tell fans'their Chinese life experience and funny things. Deedee and fredy are so cute and all fans love them 😊
good thinking, many wealthy families in new york have to pay hefty price to hire mandarin-speaking nannies or send their kids to expensive schools to learn mandarin.
Awesome stuff, guys! I wish i had the resources to move back to my motherland, but at this stage in my life i dont think i have the competitive edge nor the academic crerentials to live comfortably in china anymore. Should have gone to china after university😅
Yeah but my country (in Europe) has a big issue, our lives become more and more difficult. Normal citizen cannot buy a real-estate anymore. Everyday products are becoming more and more expensive. Vacations have become a luxury option, it costs you a leg if you go with children (prices are multiplied from 2 to 5 in school holiday). Having children also has become an option, that means you need a bigger real-estate, more foods, and a lot of more money to go out... Yes, it's the same everywhere in the world, but the equation is not the same when you have a standard wage and you cannot provide for yourself alone. This is the real situation in Europe. Every country has their problems? Yeah, but we are not in the same boat.
@@KingKongWorld Chinese people have the habit of saving money, only making money and not willing to spend money, so you see Chinese people travelling to Europe are very rich in buying things, but in reality it is the money that is usually saved, when it comes to the difficulty of earning money, it is much more difficult in China, but it is full of opportunities here. The majority of ordinary Chinese are envious of the easy lifestyle that Europe is able to offer.
@o3ml @engh3757 Yes, i understand your points of view. What i am try to explain. in Europe, we become poorer and poorer. We used to have a better life in the 70s, 80s, 90s, but now, we cannot afford much. In the 80s, we used to have 10 years loan for a house. Now most people have 30 years of loan for a rabbit cage. You see the difference? You were 'poor' and you are still poor but much much less. Most of you are in the lower middle class now, China is raising. We were 'rich' and now we are deprived of what we had. Middle class become lower middle class and even lower class... One of the occupations of Europeans is to go to demonstrations of all kinds, because it is free. This is probably one of the last privilege we still have. Anyway, only former rich country (not rich anymore) can understand our dismay. And most of us blame China for our decline.
@@KingKongWorld No, mate. US fed you in the fifties. Now they are having a hard time,so they take back the things they gave you. Same thing with Japan. Not China’s fault.
@@KingKongWorld China is just trying to catch up with the industrialisation that once lagged behind, the West enjoyed unprecedented affluence for the first 100 years, such a good thing is hard to maintain, so the real way to make Europe better is to co-operate, it's like investing in stocks, don't act contrary to the broader trend, the same approach won't always work, there needs to be a change of direction.
That's a smart #1 answer because It's so true. Babies, toddlers and young kids are like knowledge sponges, quickly learning new things and ideas faster and better than at any age of a person's life.. And the best part, they keep asking questions wanting to learn more making it very easy to teach them. Thanks for sharing this wonderful video about China.
Thanks Hosanna! And also kids learn the proper Chinese accent and pronounciation perfectly. I could never ever ever do that now I’m an adult, not even if I become a fulltime Chinese student.
Hey guys, great to see that your recent videos have gained a lot more views and comments. I think a lot has to do with the opening up of the 144hr visa and so many vloggers have recently visited made videos about China. That might have to do with how more people are finding you. Hope your channel continues to grow because it's one of the more fun and unique ones. Once upon a time, the west had these family values too but sadly, it seems to be rarer to find. You are good parents and made a smart decision.
China ranks first in Asia in terms of medical standards. In South Korea and Japan, medical care is very expensive and the price-performance ratio is low.
The language part is so true, and its amazing to see that there are smart parents such as you two who have the foresight to have their children master multiple languages. it is absolutely the right decision to send them to a chinese school instead of an international one. I've personally met expat children that speak poor chinese despite growing up in china because they were only sent to international school. They grew up feeling ashamed that they couldnt speak chinese very well despite growing up in china. And because of their foreign accent when speaking chinese, they were never treated like a local. Glad to see that this wont be an issue with your kids 😊
Yeah but that education is almost only accessible for Chinese nationals. My kids are born and raised in China (but are not Chinese) and they still can’t just rock up to a public school to join
Loved watching you guys! You give the vibes of that friendly happy and chill family! I’ve been living in China for 5 years and I don’t want to leave! Thinking of having a kid here with my husband sometime soon/ish🙏🏻🤞🏼and your video is another encouragement to go for it here! 😀Blessed life to you! ❤
Your children are lucky to have parents like you who really care about their future.Your choice is very correct, and you can see things thoroughly.Western media being bias with China and always label it as bad.I have been to some European countries, and it is not safe at night. There are many vagrants and thieves, sexual openness and graffiti.I have also been to Thailand. In Thailand, marijuana and prostitutes and transgender people are legal, and there are shops specializing in selling marijuana.I've visited China four times and saw different regions. Every time I've visited... I've seen big improvements. I would even be bold enough to say that the major cities in China are now overall cleaner looking than the major cities in the US.But In the US, I dare not go out at night, for fear that someone will shoot me.The China described by the Western media is completely different from the real China I see.China's Civic Infrastructures are 100 years ahead of any other country, and the Civic Services are so cheap/free that they do not need much money to live a good comfortable Middle Class life styles.Whether you call China a communist or socialist state it is undeniably a country putting the common good of a community first. Thus the Central and regional governments will planned, invested and installed whatever facility to improve the lives of the citizens in the community.The United States brought bombs to the world, and China brought development and infrastructure to the world.The United States has more than 800 military bases overseas, and it cannot guarantee the basic life safety of Americans. More than 30,000 Americans are killed by shooting every year. What are freedom and human rights? My understanding is: no drugs and thieves, no LGBQ, unrestrained life, cheap prices, no fear of crime and shooting, this is the real freedom and human rights.
Chinese writing system have at least 260+ "alphabets" (most have name and pronunciation). Therefore more variation and permutation when new concept or creating more word are required. Each arranged around inside a rectangle/square boundary to form a word, hence a 2-dimensional while Latin arrange alphabets side-by-side like a 1-dimensional line to form a word. The left side radical indicate the category (water, vert, noun, animal, human etc. related) and the right side indicate the pronunciation. One can easily read sentences even if placing words reference to each other at any angle such as reading the sentence right to left or from top to bottom. Hardly wasted space in a sentence since space between word is not require. Wasted space only happen between paragraph.
As a Chinese who lived for one year in England, I totally agree with your aspects about children appropriate pop culture, kids don't have to be exposed to sexual contents.
Thanks for the sharing👍 It is glad that your kids enjoy the growth and life in China. Surely they will be developing their brilliant career with such good language skills. And no doubt, China is a super safe country even in 2nd / 3rd tiers cities.
Agree with your points, with one precision on your number 4: Shenzhen is indeed modern and clean, but in smaller cities inland the situation may be different... though situation is improving nationwide. But I agree on the lack of vandalism in China, feels better.
Yes, but it is really improving,last summer we were in China, big cities and small towns, surprised to find even small towns were already that modern and clean
I think you both are years ahead and have the best for your kids future and indeed learning the language and culture of both East and West will put them at good stead wherever in the World it takes them.
Axl Rose ? Is that you ? lol🤣 Great content ~ keep up with the good work !! Beautiful family ~ loving the 80s vibe , both of you got great style 😎 the children speaks perfect Mandarin and are soooooo adorable~ Glad yall enjoying life in China ~ Greetings from Hong Kong 🇭🇰🇨🇳
I totally agree with your point of view. Although our country is not absolutely perfect, it is very safe. Yes, people all over the world should love each other and not be biased like some media. I wish you a happy life in China!😀
Secondly, the United States is extremely tolerant of political prisoners from Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and South America. Giving money to protect such political prisoners or financial prisoners and using them as weapons also allows crimes to receive extremely high social care in the United States. U.S Politicians use these political or financial criminals to attack their home country governments.
Oohhh I now recognise Ursula from another video! When you mentioned you gave birth in China it reminded me. Great to have found your channel! Looking forward to hearing more about your life in China 😊
Subscribed. Liked. Your number 1 reason should be every parent's number 1 reason. Please tell all your friends back in the west: their kids need to be prepared for a super competitive future. There's no better way to prepare them for that future than giving them the opportunity to learn it from the time they were born. Intelligent parents, you guys!
Thank you!! You are right! And to be prepared for a competitive future means you need to be comfortable in a competitive present. Students among each other in my kids school are competitive too, but I notice they do it in a caring way! They even formed a ‘homework club’ by themselves after school on the playground, where they help each other complete the homework so they don’t have to struggle alone at home. I think it’s great!
Thank you so much for being so courageous to tell the truth and rebut the malicious, groundless and indeed false reports about China. Couldn'T imagine how come the western media, while promoting justice, reality, unbiased reporting, could frame all these false reports to stigmatize China, how come these western media could be so hypocritical!

Please keep us updated on how you and your children are doing in China ❤.
Thank you! We will keep you updated 😉
Not only trilingual, among the three, two are the most spoken ones. Kids will for sure be very successful in the future.
祝福您們全家越來越好❤
Thank you! 😎
holy cow! you guys brought me back to the 80's! love it!
😂😂😂
I missed my long flowing hair 🥲
Best regards from Germany. I am very interested in China. I know your channel because I read a book about Shenzhen and you were interviewed there. I've been watching your videos ever since. I would like to see more videos like this where we can find out more about your thoughts and motivations ❤
Awesome! Yes that’s Frank Sieren’s book about Shenzhen! Great book.
@@OurChineseLifeyes exacly
I'm Chinese live in Shenzhen, welcome to China and have a good vocation! i could be your tourist guide.
@@kyriedurant5466 😂😂😂 thanks but we live here too! But a vacation does sound nice!
Best of luck to you guys and hope a bright and happy future for the 2 little ones. Their upbringing/parenting and exposure to different cultures will definitely pave their way to one.
Thank you so much!
You have good thinkings!! Very wise parents!!
中国在发展 以后也是一个重要的经济体 会说中文确实是有优势的
Good choice to raise your kids in Shenzhen. It's the most diverse city in China for its close location with Hong Kong and Macau and everybody comes from all over the country.
Grealy appreciated ❤
Great to see your subscribers increase quickly, suggesting you make an interview with deedee and fredy, asked them several questions about China and also let them tell fans about the difference between the west and China, and tell fans'their Chinese life experience and funny things. Deedee and fredy are so cute and all fans love them 😊
good thinking, many wealthy families in new york have to pay hefty price to hire mandarin-speaking nannies or send their kids to expensive schools to learn mandarin.
Can't agree you more ! 👍👍👍
Awesome stuff, guys! I wish i had the resources to move back to my motherland, but at this stage in my life i dont think i have the competitive edge nor the academic crerentials to live comfortably in china anymore. Should have gone to china after university😅
you have an advantage If you can read, speak and write Chinese and English, I think you can give it a try, you still have a big chance here!
@OurChineseLife thank you so much for the words of encouragement🙏😁
very informative. Thanks
Interesting and true 😊
In Malaysia more and more ethnic enter into Chinese schools, no more violent in schools.
Every country has their problems. I am glad you like China.
Yeah but my country (in Europe) has a big issue, our lives become more and more difficult.
Normal citizen cannot buy a real-estate anymore.
Everyday products are becoming more and more expensive.
Vacations have become a luxury option, it costs you a leg if you go with children (prices are multiplied from 2 to 5 in school holiday).
Having children also has become an option, that means you need a bigger real-estate, more foods, and a lot of more money to go out...
Yes, it's the same everywhere in the world, but the equation is not the same when you have a standard wage and you cannot provide for yourself alone.
This is the real situation in Europe.
Every country has their problems? Yeah, but we are not in the same boat.
@@KingKongWorld Chinese people have the habit of saving money, only making money and not willing to spend money, so you see Chinese people travelling to Europe are very rich in buying things, but in reality it is the money that is usually saved, when it comes to the difficulty of earning money, it is much more difficult in China, but it is full of opportunities here. The majority of ordinary Chinese are envious of the easy lifestyle that Europe is able to offer.
@o3ml @engh3757 Yes, i understand your points of view.
What i am try to explain. in Europe, we become poorer and poorer. We used to have a better life in the 70s, 80s, 90s, but now, we cannot afford much. In the 80s, we used to have 10 years loan for a house. Now most people have 30 years of loan for a rabbit cage.
You see the difference?
You were 'poor' and you are still poor but much much less. Most of you are in the lower middle class now, China is raising.
We were 'rich' and now we are deprived of what we had. Middle class become lower middle class and even lower class... One of the occupations of Europeans is to go to demonstrations of all kinds, because it is free. This is probably one of the last privilege we still have.
Anyway, only former rich country (not rich anymore) can understand our dismay. And most of us blame China for our decline.
@@KingKongWorld No, mate. US fed you in the fifties. Now they are having a hard time,so they take back the things they gave you. Same thing with Japan. Not China’s fault.
@@KingKongWorld China is just trying to catch up with the industrialisation that once lagged behind, the West enjoyed unprecedented affluence for the first 100 years, such a good thing is hard to maintain, so the real way to make Europe better is to co-operate, it's like investing in stocks, don't act contrary to the broader trend, the same approach won't always work, there needs to be a change of direction.
That's a smart #1 answer because It's so true. Babies, toddlers and young kids are like knowledge sponges, quickly learning new things and ideas faster and better than at any age of a person's life.. And the best part, they keep asking questions wanting to learn more making it very easy to teach them.
Thanks for sharing this wonderful video about China.
Thanks Hosanna! And also kids learn the proper Chinese accent and pronounciation perfectly. I could never ever ever do that now I’m an adult, not even if I become a fulltime Chinese student.
@@OurChineseLife Agreed ❤
I would love to raise my grandpa with my parents there too
So true 👍
You have made a wise decision. Congratulations 🎉
One of the smartest videos on UA-cam I’ve seen!! 👍
😎 thank you!
All very good points you've both made. I would love to retire in China for the safety alone. Everything else is a wonderful bonus!
Great theme song… did a search finally found the full version.. Lobotomy.. love it ❤. Love you guys!
Yes! Lobotomy by Junks (that’s our band)!
warmly wecome to mainland
Obviously you have made the best choice for your family and you. 👍👍👍
Hey guys, great to see that your recent videos have gained a lot more views and comments. I think a lot has to do with the opening up of the 144hr visa and so many vloggers have recently visited made videos about China. That might have to do with how more people are finding you. Hope your channel continues to grow because it's one of the more fun and unique ones. Once upon a time, the west had these family values too but sadly, it seems to be rarer to find. You are good parents and made a smart decision.
Thank you so much!
China ranks first in Asia in terms of medical standards. In South Korea and Japan, medical care is very expensive and the price-performance ratio is low.
China has a 144th ranked healthcare system overall. Way off US cancer rate survival . Very poor rural social infrastructure
China's medical care is cost-effective because most of the pharmaceutical raw materials are in China@@JohnSmith-sm7ez
You guys are awesome. Enjoy the adventure. Wish I was there instead of the daily gunfire here in LA USA..btw your kids are adorable and hubby is cool
Thank you! We actually got engaged at the Cecil hotel in downtown LA next to skid row 😂😂😂. We loved LA but probably living there is another story!
Love you guys! You are doing the right thing for the kids. I love listening to them speaking Chinese! 🧡💙💚🧮☯️🌈🥳
The language part is so true, and its amazing to see that there are smart parents such as you two who have the foresight to have their children master multiple languages. it is absolutely the right decision to send them to a chinese school instead of an international one. I've personally met expat children that speak poor chinese despite growing up in china because they were only sent to international school. They grew up feeling ashamed that they couldnt speak chinese very well despite growing up in china. And because of their foreign accent when speaking chinese, they were never treated like a local. Glad to see that this wont be an issue with your kids 😊
really love your videos,hope you share more about your life here,and plus welcome to china,happy luna new year~
Thank you! 😉
I love China!! ❤❤❤
Agree with everything you said. Also, China has the best fundmental education in the world.
Yeah but that education is almost only accessible for Chinese nationals. My kids are born and raised in China (but are not Chinese) and they still can’t just rock up to a public school to join
Loved watching you guys! You give the vibes of that friendly happy and chill family! I’ve been living in China for 5 years and I don’t want to leave! Thinking of having a kid here with my husband sometime soon/ish🙏🏻🤞🏼and your video is another encouragement to go for it here! 😀Blessed life to you! ❤
Thank you Zara! Having a baby in China will be a very unique experience! We say go for it!
Thank youuuuu!💕
Well said. Great sharing.
👍👍👍👍👍 5 thumbs up for the 5 reasons :)
Your children are lucky to have parents like you who really care about their future.Your choice is very correct, and you can see things thoroughly.Western media being bias with China and always label it as bad.I have been to some European countries, and it is not safe at night. There are many vagrants and thieves, sexual openness and graffiti.I have also been to Thailand. In Thailand, marijuana and prostitutes and transgender people are legal, and there are shops specializing in selling marijuana.I've visited China four times and saw different regions. Every time I've visited... I've seen big improvements. I would even be bold enough to say that the major cities in China are now overall cleaner looking than the major cities in the US.But In the US, I dare not go out at night, for fear that someone will shoot me.The China described by the Western media is completely different from the real China I see.China's Civic Infrastructures are 100 years ahead of any other country, and the Civic Services are so cheap/free that they do not need much money to live a good comfortable Middle Class life styles.Whether you call China a communist or socialist state it is undeniably a country putting the common good of a community first. Thus the Central and regional governments will planned, invested and installed whatever facility to improve the lives of the citizens in the community.The United States brought bombs to the world, and China brought development and infrastructure to the world.The United States has more than 800 military bases overseas, and it cannot guarantee the basic life safety of Americans. More than 30,000 Americans are killed by shooting every year. What are freedom and human rights? My understanding is: no drugs and thieves, no LGBQ, unrestrained life, cheap prices, no fear of crime and shooting, this is the real freedom and human rights.
👍👍👏🏻👏🏻👌👌😂😂
Chinese writing system have at least 260+ "alphabets" (most have name and pronunciation). Therefore more variation and permutation when new concept or creating more word are required.
Each arranged around inside a rectangle/square boundary to form a word, hence a 2-dimensional while Latin arrange alphabets side-by-side like a 1-dimensional line to form a word.
The left side radical indicate the category (water, vert, noun, animal, human etc. related) and the right side indicate the pronunciation.
One can easily read sentences even if placing words reference to each other at any angle such as reading the sentence right to left or from top to bottom.
Hardly wasted space in a sentence since space between word is not require. Wasted space only happen between paragraph.
we should do that too
😎
As a Chinese who lived for one year in England, I totally agree with your aspects about children appropriate pop culture, kids don't have to be exposed to sexual contents.
Exactly
Thanks for the sharing👍 It is glad that your kids enjoy the growth and life in China. Surely they will be developing their brilliant career with such good language skills. And no doubt, China is a super safe country even in 2nd / 3rd tiers cities.
👍 excellent foresight parents...successful channel
journey ahead. 😀
Thank you! Let’s hope so 🫶🏻
Love the retro style theme in your video 😊
Thank you! 😎
Agree with your points, with one precision on your number 4: Shenzhen is indeed modern and clean, but in smaller cities inland the situation may be different... though situation is improving nationwide. But I agree on the lack of vandalism in China, feels better.
Yes, but it is really improving,last summer we were in China, big cities and small towns, surprised to find even small towns were already that modern and clean
I think you both are years ahead and have the best for your kids future and indeed learning the language and culture of both East and West will put them at good stead wherever in the World it takes them.
Axl Rose ? Is that you ? lol🤣
Great content ~ keep up with the good work !! Beautiful family ~ loving the 80s vibe , both of you got great style 😎 the children speaks perfect Mandarin and are soooooo adorable~ Glad yall enjoying life in China ~ Greetings from Hong Kong 🇭🇰🇨🇳
😂😂😂 yes it’s me! Axl and Slash! Thanks for your awesome comment 😉
@@OurChineseLife oh really? You are Axel Rose Guns and Roses?
And I saw Cher too!!!! Wooowww
@@sonyadewi7019 😂😂😂
I totally agree with your point of view. Although our country is not absolutely perfect, it is very safe. Yes, people all over the world should love each other and not be biased like some media. I wish you a happy life in China!😀
Awesome
I don't know if you know this, but China is the only country in the world where forest or green coverage area is growing.
I didn’t know that
@@OurChineseLife I remember China even made a desert (Maowusu Desert) disappear.
@@yuyuan7204 This is true, even Western media has published articles claiming that ‘China forces trees to grow’ and ‘China should protect deserts’ LOL
Secondly, the United States is extremely tolerant of political prisoners from Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and South America. Giving money to protect such political prisoners or financial prisoners and using them as weapons also allows crimes to receive extremely high social care in the United States.
U.S Politicians use these political or financial criminals to attack their home country governments.
Oohhh I now recognise Ursula from another video! When you mentioned you gave birth in China it reminded me. Great to have found your channel! Looking forward to hearing more about your life in China 😊
Subscribed. Liked.
Your number 1 reason should be every parent's number 1 reason.
Please tell all your friends back in the west: their kids need to be prepared for a super competitive future. There's no better way to prepare them for that future than giving them the opportunity to learn it from the time they were born.
Intelligent parents, you guys!
Thank you!! You are right! And to be prepared for a competitive future means you need to be comfortable in a competitive present. Students among each other in my kids school are competitive too, but I notice they do it in a caring way! They even formed a ‘homework club’ by themselves after school on the playground, where they help each other complete the homework so they don’t have to struggle alone at home. I think it’s great!
Thank you so much for being so
courageous to tell the truth and rebut the
malicious, groundless and indeed false
reports about China. Couldn'T imagine
how come the western media, while
promoting justice, reality, unbiased
reporting, could frame all these false
reports to stigmatize China, how come
these western media could be so
hypocritical!
You are welcome! We can only show what our life is like in China, and if we squash some horrible fake news along the way then that’s a win-win!
Thanks for sharing the truth.
Kids allowed to remain innocent for as long as possible is priceless
