@@jennyzhang3088I guess when it comes to corona a lot of people started hating on Chinese people for "starting corona"
As a kid my best friend was Chinese and going to her house for dinner was seriously one of my fondest memories. Her mum was an INCREDIBLE cook and food was so ingrained into their family’s celebrations. There would be piles of noodles, different rice dishes, homemade dumplings and hot pot night. She put so much love into everything and I got to try so many new dishes that were made by someone I knew very well. I’ve tried to recreate her dishes as an adult but I have a lot of work to do with my cooking skills lol.
As a fellow Chinese woman, I genuinely appreciated this video Linda! Thank you for showing your audience how great Chinese cuisine can be!
This resonates a lot with my Mexican culture. I missed out so much on my mother’s cooking and foodie experiences when I went to my parents’ hometown all for a body that wasn’t meant to be mine in the first place. But where there’s a will, there’s a way. And I’m happy to have found you because I’m on my way to recovery, happiness, adventure and self-love 💛
It's honestly so nice to see Linda eat like EXACTLY what my family made me eat growing up. Seeing her eat Mantou, Shanzha, huazun, shredded potatoes, bings, baozi, dumplings, wonton, tangyuan... is just wow so relatable. It also makes me so thankful to still be eating all those things every single day. Can't believe I once refused those foods just to "lose weight"🥲
Your mum is insanely good at making such tasty foods! I can definitely see where you get your talent from!!
Feeling spoiled by you with such a deep and vulnerable video that made me cry from home much I could relate and the revelations I learned, and now we got another upload?!?! Girl 🥺💕
chinese-american subscriber here! i remember seeing you eat Chinese food with your family in your what i eat videos from the very beginning of your channel and it's amazing seeing you're whole journey play out. Seeing all of my foods showcased and celebrated here made me so sooo beyond happy!!!! lots of love
Her mother is such an angel *WE LOVE MOTHER SUN* ♥
In 7.07 , Linda write 番茄炒蛋(tomato fried eggs) as red bean soup😂
Oh in Indian culture we have something like shanza too! It’s made of dried mango though. Also insanely delicious and unlike anything I’ve ever come across in North America my entire life. I love seeing your Chinese culture and dishes - would be awesome to have some recipe videos or more time on explaining how to make them (always fun to see you and mother Sun teaching us, although the links are awesome too). 😊 Thank you for sharing. 💕
Linda, thanks so much for being one of the only people on youtube that is so open about eating disorders and how our relationship with food can be so tough. I am learning to let go of the guilt that comes with eating and your videos help me so much. Thanks
Feeling soooooo warmed by watching your video. As a Chinese in foreign country especially in those unusual time,you are the one who is the best model to teach us how to show the sense of belonging with a biiiiig niiiice and confident smile. you are just amazing. 让我们作为少数身在海也能骄傲的展示归属感,你也是我们的骄傲。Linda RULES!!!
WHO ELSE HAS BEEN HERE SINCE THE POPCORNERS, BING, EGGS AND KETCHUP, AND FAM WORKOUTS ON THE RED MAT ERA
4:46 omg I loved watching that show as a kid too! Related to so many things in this video
You eat better food in a week than I do in a month 😭😭 but I love this for you and it definitely motivates me to eat better. Also I’m so In love with the editing in this video!! You’re killing it 👏🏽🧡
all of these meals look INCREDIBLE. I love how much effort, care and love goes into creating each meal.

i agreee its really an inspiration. hey btw megan, i recently started my own channel where i talk a lot about well-being, self growth and a healthy lifestyle, if you wanna check it out☺️
I used to hate being black at a very young age. I went to a predominately white elementary school so I felt as though I should have been born white. I wanted to be like almost every white girl in my class. Now as I've grown up I appreciate being black and enjoying Soul food and the culture/history behind it. I also used to hate my body. When I started hitting puberty and gaining weight I felt insecure because some girls were slim and had the "best" bodies. During the pandemic and being virtual I tried losing weight. Although I yo-yoed a lot. I am now happy to say that I am in high school and loving my body. I still struggle with trying not to restrict food and not sucking in my stomach 24/7 but I am learning and growing. I encourage any one who struggles with this to be yourself and love your body. Your body was designed for you. You can't hate your home!! its how you get around how you live. Your body is special!!
Whatttt!?!? How lucky we are to get 2 videos from Linda it's not even a week!?!? 😍😍😍😍
Linda, you are honestly my idol. I’ve never related to a video like this, especially as a growing Asian in a predominantly non Asian community. During quarantine, I discovered your videos and you being so open with your culture and your family made me realize that I need to prioritize myself more then the others peoples opinions. Thank you so much for this video, and thank you for doing what you are doing!
Your mother is so talented! Love that there is such a tradition with food in your culture
OMG MY Queen. Ily you inspire me every day while I’m going through a rough time with food. 2 videos in one week from Linda = best week in my life. Keep doing what your doing!
im so glad i found you , you feel like that best friend always saying right things when you need to hear. You make me feel so motivated even when i feel like crap . thanks much love and power to you! xoxo
My grandma usually makes her own type of “mantou”, by putting red beans and dates in them, and they’re soooo good
you're such a great daughter , sister, friend and influencer you really helped to acceped my body and to understand that we all deserve hapiness no matter what size we are .. thank you so much for being here for us ♥️
Imagine being her friend and coming over her house and mother SUN cooks a feast with all those food.... Ahhhh... HEAVEN
Hey Linda! I just wanted to tell you how wonderful it is that you spend so much time with you family! It made me realize it really isn’t a “shame” to be close with my family and not having a million friends. Thanks for this and also for all the work you put in these fantastic videos!! All this editing can be extremely hard!! Sending you lots of love❤️
LITR my biggest role model! I'm so glad you did this video celebrating Asian food and culture! Love the editing as usual and I hope you as well as everyone else is doing well!!!
Your videos have been such a big part of my recovery journey and I am so thankful for you cuz it feels like we all have healed or are healing together
Aww Linda, it's so nice to see you reconnecting to your roots. As a second generation Chinese-Canadian, I've noticed the heightened visibility of our community in AAPI heritage month given the stop asian hate movement gaining momentum last year, and I am so happy that you're becoming a diversity trailblazer! I've also been super into your recipes as I try to constantly replicate them as part of my college meals, but I never have enough time to do so. It seems like you're constantly cooking complex recipes and editing heavy 20-minute videos on top of the heaps of homework that you probably do in Business School -- I don't know how you're managing time. If you're reading this, good luck in your final year of college!
You don't know how much I'm obsessed with linda sun's video, I binge watch her videos all the time there was day when I only watched her videos and it always makes me feel alive. I love you Linda❤️
It’s beautiful to see how food and family is so connected in Chinese culture, that’s something I never really grew up with but wish I did! Absolutely love all your videos and you are doing an amazing job! 🌞
As a Chinese foodie who's insecure about her body 24/7, thank you so much for this video Linda!! Cannot explain how much you motivated me to embrace my body and culture. The food looks amazing and your family is so cute! Pls continue making these lovely vlogs♥♥♥
Linda's mom should be on master chef, ngl her food looks amazing. And Linda, your editing is just so gooodddd, so glad to see you happy!
"I miss you = did you eat " i totally agree with that. My parents calls me everyday while i'm at my doom, they just ask "did you had your food on time" rather than asking how do feel? And just hang up after asking and getting the answer. The fruit bowl in between; while at home busy studying & stressing out for finals. Making hot coffee at night while studing and skipping sleep. I already miss home. Omg i still hesitate to eat all my culture food because eating it feels fatty in my body. I still looking at mirror seeing my belly even after working out early in the mrng for 3years straight while my frds laying on bed watching yt and muching of snacks. But i feels so strong and confident to carry me around after working out, that making me wanting to get up in the mrng and sweat myself.

Your words touched me a lot
I love watching these because we have a similar body type, so when I catch myself hating on my body/what I'm eating I think about you and it makes me so confident. I seriously can't thank you enough for how much you've helped me these past couple of months ❤️
i've been here. i've been eating protein pancakes with you for 2 years. ive been having a very very tough time resulting in losing my hobbies an stop doing things i loved, and now that i can open my computer again and binge watch all your videos i have missed really just means the world to me. you are my safe place.
TWO LINDA VIDEOS IN THE WEEK WE HAVE BEEN BLESSSEDDDDD
I’ve never connected so much to a video… thank you for putting my emotions and childhood into a video to raise awareness and spread the love 🥺❤️
I love your positive vibes and healthy outlook! We need more people like you in the world 🥺💙 so glad I found your channel!
The tomato egg stir fry is SO GOOD. Its actually one of the first dishes I learned from my sister in law (She was born in Guangzhou). Its amazing. I'm still asking her cooking questions to this da. I'm so glad that I was able to see this in your video Linda!
My most heartfelt hope is that your videos are as healing for you as they are for the people who watch them.
I'm so proud of you and how far you've come on your journey. As someone who is going through the same struggles, it is an inspiration to know that it is attainable to be able to overcome it. Watching you eat all the yummy foods, smiling through every bite and enjoying your family, overcame me with a sense of joy. Thank you for what you do, and never stop being so amazing! P.s. I love you too!
I loved this video- I loved the clips of your mom cooking. My mom cooks a lot of Korean food, but it was my grandmother that this video most reminded me of. We lost her this year in January and when I think of all the Korean food I ate growing up, it was hers- every type of imaginable kimchi; dumplings; beef; pork; maki rolls; stews; soups; noodles. Every bite was infused not only with culture, but with love and with my childhood. I resonate with what you said about diet culture teaching us that ethnic foods are "unhealthy" or "bad"-- and now that my grandmother is gone, I regret all the times I didn't cherish the meals she made for me and my family. Thank you for sweetly reminding me of my grandmother.
You are an amazing inspiration and I'm so glad we have you to represent the Asian community!! ❤
This is one of my favourite videos of yours. I'm so happy to see you embracing your culture. We love mother sun!
This has to be one of my favorite videos of yours. I loved seeing all the food and hearing you give it such a personal story warmed my heart. Thank you for all the hard work I can tell you put into this. I’m going to go find me some food now lol

this video was so good, you just keep getting better at capturing the cutest moments and your hard work shows with the masterful editing! it's really heart-warming to see you and your family enjoy all those meals together 🧡 also, thank you so much for all that info and inspiration regarding Chinese gastronomy!! makes me want to try out so many recipes and flavours 🤤💓🔥
Your mother is just a true blessing Linda…this food looks FREAKIN amazing… I am kind of SO JEALOUS right now… maybe i can visit you next time you will repeat this CHINESE FOOD WEEK… sending So much love to your mother 🥲🤤😍
If Linda has a podcast please tell me and if she doesn’t SHE NEEDS TO OMG SHE WOULD BE SO GOOD!♥️
Two videos in such a short space of time!! Ahhhh the best
Hiiii you are my inspiration and you get me through tough times. You are always there for me! Your like the big sister I never had. Thank you ☺️!
finally a light hearted content from you after such a loooonnng time. i am happy that you are happy and i hope you continue to have more happy days than the bad ones. ❤️
I love this video, you and your mum cooking together are so cute and the insight into Chinese culture through food is really interesting. Coming from an Italian family I totally get the missing on food= missing on memories and sometimes I still avoid family gathering out of fear of what will be eaten but you inspire me so much in overcoming this irrational thoughts.
Home to me was my mom’s chicken soup. Home is also all the foods we made and ate together at Christmas. That’s why I don’t celebrate Christmas anymore since my family is gone, it makes me too sad. It would be like amplifying how much I miss them and my childhood “home.”
Also! That char siew bao was a 菠萝叉烧包! THE BEST KIND THERE IS
PROUD OF YOU EVERY SINGLE SECOND ❤
Ahhh! It’s so comforting to see all of my favorite foods that I grew up eating! I was drooling the whole video!💕
This video is amazing Linda! I could related to you in so many ways especially when you talked about despising being Asian (I am a Korean American that grew up in predominantly white neighborhood) and also when you talked about toxic diet culture. Thank you for sharing your story, especially during AANHPI month!

I love that I can live vicariously through you with the foods you shared in this video especially. my Chinese side (maternal grandfather) disowned my mom and my maternal grandma's family and kids after my grandfather passed. so unfortunately, I never got a chance to grow up learning the language or my family heritage from my Chinese side. I loved learning all these recipes and experiencing a small semblance of culture through your video. thank you for making content like this and your other videos. I appreciate you so much.
Watching you eat.. seeing and hearing you thoroughly enjoy your food .. puts a smile on my face. 🥰

I could watch this vid 100000 times and i would never get sick to it! Thanks for the healing and I have so much love for you and ur vids 💛
when I tell u that i binge watch her videos, I REALLY DO gosh i love her so much😭💗
Thank you for continuing to show up and highlight being Chinese while working out and staying healthy and fit. I recently started keeping track of what I eat on My Fitness Pal and I thought it might not allow me to have my former sense of freedom with food in general, treats, and Asian cuisine... but I've been pleasantly surprised by how many bar codes from the supermarket in Japan show up in the app, and also how eating fewer calories doesn't have to mean less flavor, or less authentic to who I am as an Taiwanese American. Much love from Japan!
You have grown so much, from before you graduated I am so proud of you Linda❤️
These are the videos I just wish I watched when I was in middle school!! I’ve realized I’m not alone, and your stories and experiences that you share really inspire me!!
everything looks so good!!! saw a lot of foods i also used to eat growing up and the nostalgia is hitting so hard rn
I am going to be honest, I would literally give EVERYTHING to eat those foods, especially when they are made by mother sun. Linda you can be so proud of your culture (not only because of the food even though that reason would be enough for me haha)
idk how to put it but when I saw linda jumping around during the ad, I saw the smile on her face that was really from the bottom of her heart and I just wanted to say that she looked stunning then. I felt the happiness.
Linda, you don’t even know how much i love watching Your videos💕 plese keep making them for us… we love you 💕
Thank you Linda for being so inspiring 🫶. I used to be ashamed of my culture but ur video make me feel so proud of being a Chinese. 💖
omg i havnt seen bing in ur chanell for so long also this video made me soo happy
Honestly Linda's channel is like my comfort place, a secure place where every damn thought of guilty for food disappear; I thank you so much for that Linda 💖 .......... Right now I can't say that my relationship with food is healthy but you give me hope that one day maybe I'll make it. 💓🐇
You are a whole mood Linda! We love you 💜
Waking up to see Linda post hehe so excited 😁👏👏
