I, sister, Mum & Dad plus some extended family were "holed up" in Chongqing during WW2. My dad worked for the Bank of China of back then (not the same as its known today in the West) which was the bank closely associated with Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek who was notionally fighting the Japanese but actually was fighting against Mao but that's a huge separate other story. Chongqing being in the deep west in China made it a suitable refuge for Chiang to be hard to get at by the Japanese. The spot where he was actually located was obscure; I know because when there was a Japanese bombing raid on Chongqing we'd retreat to a cave in the mountain side where we stayed. I snuck out to the entrance of the cave once and saw the planes buzzing the city some distance away; they never flew over where we were which was only a few km away where Chiang would've been if he was in Chongqing. /1

Thanks so much for sharing your amazing story, sir!

I did some googling and found out that the Japanese bombed Chongqing day and night for 4 years running. Good thing the Japanese failed to take Chongqing. Had China not resisted for 8 long years tying up 1 million Japanese soldiers on the Chinese mainland, when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, they could have had enough manpower to follow up with invading Guam, Midway, and Hawaii. The IJN ruled the western pacific for the first 6 months after Pearl even as the amerikan were reeling from the attack. Had Hawaii been taken, it would have pushed the amerikans all the way back to the amerikan west coast. China did good in resisting the invaders and helped the Allies win WW2.

China did not just "good" in WW2, being a much poorer and overall agricultural country at that time facing the industrialized imperial Japan, could only destroyed Japanese tanks by bombs in soldiers' hands, lack of mortar, artillery, plane, tank and ship, sacrificed over 18 millions and injured another 17 millions of its people and soldiers. And there were 2.6 millions of Japanese troops deployed in China during the war period, only 1 million left to surrender in 1945. Google Nanjing Massacre and Japanese Unit 731, they are just two small pieces of the whole war, nothing the Japanese Army had done to the Chinese civilians and surrendered soldiers are better than what the Nazi had done to the Jews.

Well said and agree with you 👍. Yes it's so true what have they been done so badly during WW2 that time. Also the Japan govt not allow to put down in their Japanese History book and don't allow their teachers to teaching or said anything happened during the WW2 that time for their young studens to know the truth. That's why their young people really don't know what was happening their Japanese soldiers done so bably to all Aisa during the WW2 that time.

Chongqing was very important during the war of Japanese resistance because it was so mountainous it was difficult to attack by land. The nationalist government of Chiang kai-Shek retreated to run their operations from Chongqing while Mao's communist faction were based in Yan'an. I played General "Vinegar Joe" Stilwell in a TV series about that period, specifically dealing with the way the nationalists and the communists kept in touch at that time, mostly via the efforts of Zhou Enlai as go-between. We filmed in a house which had belonged to Song Meiling and where she had lived with Chiang kai-Shek. The house was in a large park and still very much as it had been when they lived there. Later when I was back in Chongqing on another project I went to visit Joseph Stilwell's house which is now a museum. It was temporarily closed for some repairs. but when I told them I had played Stilwell they were very friendly and gave me a guided tour. That was 7 years ago so it's probably re-opened by now. The series is called "周恩来在重庆" and I did find it on KZread but I don't think there are any subtitles. I watched it and thought it was brilliant, though it's educational rather than entertaining so it might not suit a western audience.

Thank you for sharing your travels. It's very interesting.

Its a 170 km long city. Drive 2 hours on highway in the city and is still not ending ,,,,, crazy highways bin the city , tunnels upon tunnels and bridges upon bridges.

Andy, the largest museum in China is the National Museum in Beijing, but if you count the Forbidden City as a whole museum, you would easily get the biggest in the world lol.

Hope to visit Chongqing this year and see this beautiful city with my own eyes 😊

Thanks Andy for showing the true reality; a beautiful and vibrant municipality.

Actually in Berlin, Germany the Subway also goes into a residential building but somehow there it is more hidden and mostly no visitor ever gets to see it. But it's also a smaller house, 5 stories just.

Been there 4 times i know its a real city..!! very dynamic and alive city amd recent recent construction has seen fast rail links to other city centres make it easy to get to from anywhere just about in China

​@@SLAVAUKRAINI-cb5vt You got it backward. The chinese tourist program was filming a pre chinese new year vid ehere they do greeting from other countries. That pidoist harras them and when they do not want to be film on his 2million sub channel as it will spoil the surprise, the pedoist then accuse them of censorship. Watch the non edited vid, he approaching the chinese group asking if they were japanses, then he ask is that commie flag. He is a racist and he knew exactly what he was doing. If he did the same to jews, black, mexicans, gays he would be cancelled by now

I visited Chongqing in Dec with my family! Very enjoyable trip! So beautiful city! Fun and full of nice food !

China doesn't need propaganda, what China has done speaks for itself. West eagerly gave its factories to China, but how will we ever get them back. We don't have them now, but we need them 😢.

Thanks for your reporting. It's much appreciated.

Awesome video Andy!👍🙌👍. Thoroughly enjoyed it, including looking at the dumplings n noodles. 😋🤤. How I wished I could get there too. Thanks lots Andy🙏🙏🫡

Not overlooking Chongqing's recent historical role as the provisional government of ROC and the South Korean provisional government, it is crucial for people to recognize the significance of Chongqing and China in defending against invaders. It's disheartening for those who still perceive China as an adversary.

Dude, that was a really awesome vlog. I'm second gen Chinese-American here in Cali. I tell ya, wish I had 1/3 of your ability to speak Mandarin (even though my Mom & Pop are from Hong Kong & Canton, respectively, where Cantonese is spoken - at least in Guangzhou). Your Mandarin is terrific; being an "ABC (American Born Chinese) or Twinkie (yellow on the outside, white on the inside...😂), I don't speak a lick of my ethnic tongue. Needless to say, I'm green with jealousy over your ability to speak Chinese - hah! Well, I have an excuse though, my Dad came right after the war (i.e., World War 2) in '49. Needless to say, the yellow man faced much of the same racism as the other black & brown races at the time. At the time, having any sort of Chinese accent was very bad, as my Pop experienced, therefore, he insured his children wpuld have absolutely no such problems. As a indicator of the time, think about the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and I believe the Fair Housing Act in 1965 (I think...) passed to fight racism against yellow, brown & our black brothers). Then, is not anything like it is now. Back then, not having an English name automatically got you the label of an FOB, Ch#nk, Ch#naman, Sl#nt and other names. I'm glad societal norms have changed, but with Dipsh#t Donny (ie, Trump) and that other old idiot Biden, they push the old but still effective bullsh#t of the Yellow Scare, and anti-Chinese sentiment. People that I've never met now call me a "Chink" to my face now. Hadn't had that experience since I was in 3rd grade. Now, I carry to protect myself against those who I don't even know, whe want to bash my head in. Call me a "Rooftop Korean," I'll take that ad a compliment. 2A rights guaranteed by the Constitution applies to everyone you know. Anyways Andy, keep up the good work, be careful, and keep on making great vlogs. Have a prosperous & a Happy New Year!
