      China is now facing a fifth wave of the epidemic which it cannot easily control without major ' societal disturbances' (to put it mildly). They engaged in risky gain of function virus research and unleashed a virus they could not control. Instructions for Agent K - The mid to long term effects of this pandemic including the upcoming World wide food crisis and increased cross border wars may well spell the doom for the majority of human population. My advice, if you are fortunate enough is to identify islands of stability such as Australia new Zealand, south pacific etc and try to bunker down with supplies and neighbours you can trust or at least are not a threat. Remember you don't have to prep for years of self sufficiency. You only have to survive the population transition

    老家是附近另外一个县的。由于老房子很多都已经很破旧,有些已经是危房。政府给了两个选择: 1,给材料给你修缮旧房,使之适合居住。2, 搬迁到政府建在附近城镇的集中居住点,老旧的危房要拆掉。农村里面很多人选择搬迁到新房,所以原来的村子很多都空了。

      i guess i can understand what the old grandpa is talking about, he says 水埔村与另两个村统一(合并)了。he means Shuipu village has been merged with another two villages. in fact this is also a part of rural society changes in China during the last two or three decades, more and more younger generation left from remote rural area, and went to bigger ciries, seeking for better living and job opportunities, so population in rural area like Shuipu village keeps shrinking, so the government will merge several shrinking villages as well as towns like Shuipu into one bigger village or bigger town, so as to reduce cost of government management.

    11: 33. The lady, who is not fluent in Mandarin and dresses up like an aquarium, said she was going to "走亲,喝酒", which means "visit relatives and drink wedding wine".
    In China's traditional culture, neighbors, relatives and friends will bring gifts to the scene to congratulate and help when they encounter wedding or funeral events such as taking a wife, marrying a daughter, having children, celebrating their birthday, and the host's family will entertain guests with drinks and food.

    ❤️❤️❤️Katherine, thank you for sharing this video , i love it . It not only opened my eyes , I m amazed by the people who cab live such a long healthy life without advanced hospital and doctors support nearby their home . They do t have much but they can be satisfied to have simply life since the day they were born in ghost small village . How blessed we are but we often forget until we see we can have many choices of food, drinks , high internet . entertainment. , school to learn new things from each other and able to choose to learn to more languages . ❤️😍🥰🥰

      Personally, the only ones I would call blessings in the things you mentioned are school and learning more languages. Too many choices in food and drinks can be bad for health, and ofc internet + entertainment can make us addicted to make-believe things and some people completely get out of touch with reality because of that. I think these rural people are much more grounded in the real world tbh😅

    Another enjoyable video! I love how you've captured a lot of old but definitely in shape people, straight backs, lean weights etc. I think the lack of junk food (thanks a lot US fast food 😆) has something to do with it. I'm Filipino-Chinese and even back home I noticed a lot of older people in the remote areas (in the Philippines we have the ethnic groups in the Cordillera Autonomous Region for example) are kind of healthier compared to the middle-aged to older people in the cities. Looking forward to more ~

    Much appreciated for your work! You inspire many Chinese like me to know better their own culture and history. When I was in your age, I was exposed quite towards to foreign culture and history, and thinking we were left behind and need catch up. Thus I did not pay enough attention to my own culture, especially Chinese tradition, wisdom etc. Understanding Chinese culture at a level that one can appreciate and love it is quite hard even for native chinese people, not even for foreigner like you. I feel a little embarrassed that you are more passionate to introduce Chinese culture to the world than native people like me (may I include your husband :)). By the way, I am trying to catch up missed lessons and am more able to appreciate your channel.

    Katherine and Wei, most people in Guizhou speak Guizhou dialect, which is pretty much similar to Sichuan dielect. In fact, most people from Sichuan , Chongqing , Yunnan, Guizhou, the small part of West Hubei, and North Guangxi speak Sichuan dielect or its close variants, including many ethnic minorities in those provinces. Older generations of Han Chinese in those areas don't understand or speak Mandarin.
