Hong Kong’s Bouncing Bamboo Noodles - Eat China (S2E9)

These noodles are made by jumping up and down on a bamboo pole. It’s a traditional method that only a few shops in Hong Kong still practice.
We went to Kwan Kee, one of the last bamboo noodle shops in Hong Kong, to learn how they’re made.

    Most bamboo noodles today are actually machine made and the texture much better because machines can put more pressure than humans. But the feeling when you eat it is not the same.

    Well, it is now. They lost the battle, it's scary, but it's just the minority currently in control of China that make it scary. One day the country could be free of the tyranny of the CCP and maybe then the people of Hong Kong would be happy to be part of China. For now though, judging by the courage and actions of the people protesting, we can say that there are a lot of people in Hong Kong who aren't happy to be part of China. It doesn't have to be like that though hey! Just like in America, they are heading into a scary future with their current government, it doesn't have to be like that! Same with Russia and many other countries. The people of these countries are all simply people trying to live their lives. It's the power hungry psychopaths that rule these places that make them scary.

    God sent his Son Jesus Christ to saved you from all your sins. As He said in the book of *John **3:16* - _For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believe on him should not perish, but have everlasting life_ _Christ died on the cross for your sins, was buried and third day He rose from the dead_ - *1Corinthians 15:1-4 Gospel of Salvation* What it means? It means your death has been paid! What death? *The death of sin.* _The wage of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord_ - *Romans **6:23* Believe him and you will be saved. It's simple. As Paul said in the book of *Ephesians 2:8-9* - _For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast_ To be a good person means nothing. Why? Because we aren‘t saved by works, but by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone. *What should I do to become a child of God?* *A* - Admit you are a sinner in need of a Savior. As it is written: _There is non righteous, no, not one_ - *Romans **3:10**.* _For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God_ - *Romans **3:23* *B* - Believe on finished redemptive work of Jesus Christ on the Cross - _Christ died for your sins, was buried and third day He rose again_ - *1Cor 15:1-4 Gospel of Salvation.* If you want to enter to the Kingdom of Heaven, you must have a faith like a child - children trust their parents. Why I mentioned parents? Because God is our Creator; He is our Father; He is our Parent - _Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart_ - *Jeremiah 1:5* *C* - Call on the name of the Lord and you will be saved - _If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved_ - *Romans 10:9-10.* _For everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved_ - *Romans **10:13* Jesus Christ is the shower/water that cleans us of all unrighteousness. _Come now, let us settle the matter, says the Lord. Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; thought they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool_ - *Isaiah **1:18* Shalom, God bless you all

    It's a video about noodles and Hong Kong being part of China now. I don't think Jesus has anything to do with it really. Jesus is a middle eastern myth mostly followed in the west. If anything we should be talking about Buddha and Buddhism. Which is actually quite interesting when it comes to Jesus. The story of Jesus is influenced by Buddhism in many subtle ways.
