Im just another random person from the US, but something I really enjoy about this video is that it’s focused on the immediate living situation of these people. No focus on political systems, no fear mongering, no “othering”. China is a massive country with a massive population, but its so hard to find videos like this that show the day in the lives of people without all the extra baggage that comes with discussing China in the US. I’d love to see more videos of this nature. Rural, suburban, urban, I’ll take it. Just keep doing what you’re doing.

If China's sole concern is to make money instead of providing affordable public infrastructure to the masses, then the subways and buses in China would not cost a ridiculously cheap 2-3Yuan. And high speed rail would never be provided. The cost of building it is astronomical but the fares are still relatively affordable compared to those I've travelled on in Europe. However, while cheap, the trains are very stable compared to the wobbly ones I had experienced in Europe. As a SE Asian travelling in China, I have witnessed the transformations there since the early 2000s when I first step foot in China. AS much as western media say shit about China and the communist govt, there's no denial it has lifted almost a billion people out of poverty and the homeless are provided with homes of their own, and those with dilapidated houses or entire poor neighborhoods have been rehomed in houses with basic necessities, even in the remotest area say small town in the Taklamankan desert. These days you go to say Shanghai for eg, the streets are so quiet, because most transportation tunning on diesel engines have been replaced with electric buses, cars, and scooters, and honking is strongly discouraged. Public hygiene has also improved greatly.

I laughed so hard when my friend complained about how flat and boring the country roads are while driving. Australia is so quiet and peaceful, without much excitement. It has quite different landscapes from China. I was too critical of my home country until I realized that many people love and want to know more about it.

Cheap public transportation is so important to these people living in the mountains. Now only the elderly are left in the countryside. Although these elderly people are very hard-working, they can at least live a self-reliant life. The industrious and optimistic nature of Chinese farmers touched me. Thank you bloggers for sharing their lives.

Hello from Italy! Sincerely a Chinese born in Italy. My family originally comes from a city near the sea, in eastern China. They have been in Italy for over twenty years. I have been to China several times, each time for travel and sightseeing. My parents always tell me stories of their rural life, which are filled with many interesting stories. Although I haven't been there myself, I would love to see it firsthand. I really appreciate your videos for introducing me to life there. Watching your videos about rural life in China feels like seeing my parents' childhood memories come to life. Thank you very much. I will travel like you do.

Wow, thank you for showing this video and it humbles me how hard these people work, but are polite and proud. Look how beautiful clean the area is and I wish especially young people in other parts of the world be so hardworking and proud people like these rural Chinese. I am 81 years old and live on my own and very much appreciate your video. Kind regards from New Zealand.

In fact, I've always loved watching Chinese movies and admiring the Chinese people. They seem so charming and endearing to me. China has such a rich and impressive history. The way their country is organized and run is truly remarkable, even from ancient times. I find China to be an amazing and fascinating place.

And they have something precious that few of us in the west get to experience..a vibrant, socially-connected community life that brings respect and dignity to all.

I'm from Huaihua, the train K7272 from Huaihua to Meijiang connected Huaihua to my mother's hometown village in Tongren, where I would visit during summer vacation. Watching your video brought all the memories flooding back. The excitment of going back to village where my mom used to live, the delicious snacks sold on the train platform, the breeze on my face when the train passed through the green mountains and alongside clear creeks, and the crowed, lively atmosphere in the carriage. My mom often bought fruit right from the farmers carrying baskets. I still remember the water droplets on the plum, and the sweet and cruncky feeling of taking a bit into the fresh ones. Thank you recording this. This train was literally my childhood highlight and I appreciate you for preserving and share them with the rest of the word. You are such a nice person with true care for others.

To someone who grew up in Chicago, rural China is much more interesting than urban China. Your introduction to it is fascinating and beautiful. You really know your craft.

Much respect to all these people. With all the negative news coming from China it's refreshing to see how normal hard working people live. And to see the elderly folks still working hard to make a living deserves admiration. Thank you for showing us the real China. Keep up the wonderful work and many blessings!!

I agree 100%. I lived in China for 6 years (2014-2019), and spent a great deal of time traveling the countryside and villages. Completely different from the cities. Village people are a hardy bunch, who do for themselves or with help from family and neighbors. The village is a living, breathing organism, dependent on the sum of the parts for the success of the whole. It was such a quiet, peaceful way of life that I actually dreaded going back to the city (I lived in Shenzhen). The cities are nice, quite a lot to see and experience and of course the food selection is practically unlimited. But for sheer peace of mind and tranquility, it has to be the village. Being a gweilo (in my case a white westerner), often I was the first white person they had ever seen. My appearance in a village caused an instant stirring, many people would come out to see me, and through my guide/friend would ask endless questions about where I lived, what was life like, etc. It was like being surrounded by a group of super-curious children, with their shy, innocent inquisition. Just writing all this makes me miss it so much, even though I now live in another beautiful SEAsia country. Happily, I will visit China again in a couple of months, and I'm so looking forward to it.

Because children not supporting the elderly is a crime that can be prosecuted in China. China was a poor country just a few decades ago. They lived in a time when only constant hard work and frugality could lead to a good life, and even though they are now better off, they still cannot shake off the fear of poverty, which is called "poor fear" in China. The unwillingness to stop and feel happy constantly working, excessive frugality, pathological habits of eating leftovers, and constant accusations that future generations are less thrifty are a common problem in China. This is something that people in countries that have been developed for a long time cannot understand. I now live in Australia, where my aunt and uncle live with their children. Their children have high incomes and want their parents to enjoy life. But my uncle and aunt would not stop planting vegetables, picking up garbage, accusing me of not being thrifty enough, and complaining about the exchange rate of the Chinese yuan and the Australian dollar every day.
