Average Day of a Chinese Office Worker in Shanghai
Li Yi Xuan is a 25 year old Chinese woman who grew up in Beijing and has been living in Shanghai for just two months. She works for a company called Baopals, which is an English language platform that connects users to products from Chinese shopping sites such as Taobao.
Today is November 12th which is the day after China’s biggest 24-hour online shopping event, Double 11. This is her average day.
An Average Day is a low-fi series where we hang out with interesting people for the day.

As a Chinese who studied and works in Australia, it's the first time I saw how a day of work is like in China. Really impressed by this video. Thanks and keep it up.
I'm quite surprised that she works in online shopping industry, she get a day off on double 11 and the next day is also quite relaxed. I want that job.

She probably seems more relaxed since she has a camera on her all day, so it's slightly less productive. I'm assuming that she probably does more when there isn't a camera I dunno, BaoPao is awesome, I've used it before.

this is great!! I would love to see more like this. every video you guys make is such great quality and I enjoy watching every minute of them!
Dear Heather, if you’re reading this, PLEASE consider wearing a good protective helmet while driving your e-scooter! I have a neighbor girl who was hit by a car and killed while on her scooter. I was almost crying watching you drive without protection …
This was wonderful, thank you! Helps to give some genuine insight into what it's like to live in Shanghai as a normal person.
Thanks for stopping by!
Didn't expect to see a friend from Beijing popping up on MamaHuhu. Nice to see that you are doing great in Shanghai Heather! 😁

I thought this was going to be a pisstake but it was really informative and really insightful. I met the founders when I was in Shanghai 3 years ago. So great to see them being successful.
This was a great video, really enjoyed it and would love to see more like this format! Your videos are always so well produced!
I really liked this, looking forward to the next episode!
Li Yi Xuan's got a pretty packed and interesting day. You'd imagine a young person working an office job must be a boring story, but the company's cozy culture, her commute to work, and the activities she's engaged in throughout the day all make up for the experience I can barely imagine myself having in a much longer time. A very nice video. Best of luck to the Born in the morning Happiness and this channel : )
Loved this episode and looking forward to more in the series!
I think it's just perfect! Love this format🌟

@@antediluvianclockwork9769 It means very good. I believe it comes from comparing how high things are... A notch is a line you draw on a wall. In the old days and people were trading livestock they would want the tallest sheep/goat/llama - So they would be put against a wall and a line drawn at their height. The tallest would have the highest line, the top notch.
Great video, I really loved your editing style. Subscribed, and looking forward to seeing more. Thank you.
Can’t wait to start work in Shangai again . I live in yangpu district. Love Shanghai so much ...
I really thought this was going to be a comedy sketch involving too many cigarettes, naptime, the boss's idiot son, and afterhours baijiu work meeting with clients.

Just found this channel. I thought it was nice to get an insight on Chinese workers. This remind of another youtuber: Paolo from TOKYO. Whom also does a day in a life of worker in Japan .
Really enjoyed this!! I agree with other commenters that it’d be super interesting to see how the daily lives of those in other professions would compare. Also maybe different areas of Shanghai. I really liked the background and information that I gave about each aspect of her life👏👍
Love this series, very realistic view of everyday life in SH!
I just saw this episode, looks really interesting and comparable to my average workday at an IT company in Tokyo. Would you guys consider making an episode about the average day of an IT worker in Shanghai/Shenzhen? Kudo's from the Netherlands :D

Interesting Video. I just enjoyed it for the second time.. Glad to see you Mamahuhu dealing with different content topics. I've always been a fan. Keep fighting the good fight. Me and my interracial family look forward to return to China as soon as it is allowable. I detest all this crazy USA vs China politics . . . and very much miss our good friends and relations back on the mainland.
Great format, good video!
French quarter streets are lined with plane trees, absolutely beautiful sight. Have been there for 15 years, there used to a lot of custom suite tailor shops where tourists can get a custom made suite in a day.
This was right before the pandemic. Amazing.
Love it! More of these!
Thank you Heather for sharing you day with us :)
I really like this kind of video! I have loved so so many of the skits and other serious/comedy videos, but this sort of "average day" video is quite different from the types of vlogging I've seen before. I feel like it helps me get a quicker, but still very informative look at what life is really like for many young people in Shanghai

so typical. I really miss Shanghai so much. Good to see the familiar places
This type of video is great, even as someone who studied in China, it's still interesting to see average days.
Winning format. You could do this over and over and gain a(n ever more) serious following. Love the fish-eye lens.
the 360 angles are really dope, nice job
Very nice , a fresh look of young Chinese office worker
Great video! Thanks so much!
Great job as always!
Omg I almost interned for that company. It would have been great if you all showed a video about a foreign student in Shanghai as well as interning and see how their life is like. I’m currently doing both and I met one of your staff once in Jing’an while on my way to work. I love what you guys do!

Most tech companies in China have adopted an amazing environment like western companies. They have gyms, video games rooms, amazing interior design, food and snacks, outdoor activities, boxing 🥊 rings. I visited a few tech companies back in 2019
great!! very fun and interesting to watch!
Wow, I'm still pretty "shocked" about what I saw (in a good way !) The rythm is really intense (but I really like it), the music is per-fect. A little surprised that Mamahuhu is making that kind of video, but I actually also like the fact that you can have multiple video formats on a channel, so.... as someone said, I miss the humor, but wouldn't mind some other episodes like this on a punctual basis (like, one every 4 or 5 humor videos) Thank you anyway !
