Fortune cookies were invented in Japan and called “tsujiura senbei” 辻占煎餅. They were served with tea. A Japanese immigrant in San Francisco started baking them and it made its way into Chinese restaurants during WW2, when the Japanese were ostracized and sent to prison camps. The bakery that made them was called Benkyodo and the man who made them first in the US was Makoto Hagiwara. You can still find them in Kyoto and Kanazawa.

This channel was made for my family in Michigan and I never imagined it would take off. I’m learning more about computer security, because MY PC WAS HACKED into two days ago in an attempt to steal unpublished videos. I’ve been getting bombarded by scammers trying to get my email address, which they could use to hijack the channel. They failed, I bought a new computer, and nobody is going to stop us from making this channel grow! -Anming

Thanks so much for the sub. There are many of us at Fudan that can speak very fluent Chinese. There are many more youtube channels with people speaking Chinese as well. I hope to stand out from the crowd in some other way.

Yes, of course we want more! That transition from Japanese to mandarin is so smooth. Do you studying another language beside japanese and mandarin? Maybe korean? I think it's easier with korean when you already familiar with japanese.

I only know 3 languages, but I know them at an academic level. Reading and writing as well, which you can't see in the videos.

Love your show........your parents must be very happy with your progress in life. Keep up the good work. Much respect from this grandma. 👵
