Your mic is wonderful, a bit teasing so well. Nicely teasing indeed.
我真喜欢你的视频, 我即可以学习中文, 又可以多学英文. ❤❤
I don't see the WhatsApp link.
which part of china are these traditions? traditions vary. sounds like a northern chinese thing. they're kinda dumb up there.
Some of these look barbaric. Pretty sure trying to spray paint the bride is not even remotely "traditional".
Love it
English speakers have a similar concept. When we casually ask a person to call us some time we say "just hit me up." 🤔
wait a minute, i dont see any of these scenarios in recent chinese movies remakes, they dont really respect their traditions huh, how weird
what point are you even trying to make
Has anyone asked the bride if she felt abused or harassed for having a cultural wedding every girl dream of from young. Looking at any culture with the outsider’s eyes perpetuate wrong sense of hegemony.
Interestingly, some brides are aware of this in advance and accept it. However, in many cases, even though the bride knows beforehand, she doesn't anticipate how serious it will become when it actually happens.
Well done. You did an excellent job explaining this. Weddings in the US sometimes have similar pranks. Some can get pretty rowdy.
These countryside disrespectful habits still persists among many Chinese people who live and who get married in Italy, France, Spain... It's very distasteful, but you can't go against it, or you'll make everyone an enemy, as Chinese people are very united abroad, especially those with little or no education. The majority of them come from a rural area called Wenzhou
Dowry is more disgusting than the pranks
Do you know of a channel that ignorantly judges your "urban culture" the way you ignorantly judge "rural culture?"
That actually looks kinda fun. Nothing like ruining my mates bride's wedding after she stole him away for boys nights
you mean mainland chinese. -_-' Please do not group us altogether it's quite insulting
Boohoo
Mainland Chinese, Taiwanese, Malaysians... the list is long. All from the same root, all from the same culture.
They do something similar in Bangladeshi culture but it’s directed towards the husband, where the wife is told to hide and he has to find her by appease the female folk usually gift/money giving before they let him through in stages.
Interesting! And is this tradition still common today?:)
That's a Balkan tradition as well and it has to do with old rebellion forces. It's called "the stealing of the bride" (she's not really stolen). In the old times when the parents of the bride wouldn't accept the groom the young couple would elope hence the name "stealing of the bride".
@@vika_talks yes it is. Attended a friends wedding was fascinating to watch.
So pretty. Shame with the tattoos.
I think she rocks them different people different preferences ultimately what she does with her body is up to her
Western brainwashing, constantly lowering beauty standards and degrading people, like plastering a bunch of generic bumper stickers all over a nice car.
@@antoniasigafus5359 no it's not "up to her", most people are followers who just ape the current fashion trend. The worst aspect of the tattoo thing is that they are marketed as rebelious and individualistic when in fact they are a manifestation of sheepish obedience to the latest trend.
@ art is art you don’t have to like it it’s self expression these days piercings and tattoos won’t keep people from getting jobs
@@antoniasigafus5359 Ooooh, I'm not so sure about that. it sure as hell depend on where you apply.
People didn't under stand much about relationships and intimacy? Looks like not much has changed in all the years 🤣
I have been dating a Chongqing girl as a western man. I'm ok with some small playfulness of tradition. But i would never tolerate my wifes and my day being ruined completely.
it not like you practiced Chinese wedding in the first place either. The I would never does not even fly here.
I would love for a tofu dreg robot to serve me fake tofu one day.
and American women say they are abused
Congratulations on posting the stupidest thing I've read all day. Your comment is so meaningless and incorrect that I'm surprised you've existed with successful breaths for so long.
Nice fork.
curse for talk big by calling they need no god. they drown in moloch tradition
I didnt know it could be worse than what david has been showing
😅 i love ur mic 💯
Some traditions just need to go away, especially if they turn into assault and/or battery on another human being
I totally agree,to keep traditions is important, though it needs to be based on certain principles.
Chinese wedding hazing is the dumbest thing ever
everything you said was very intersting but i could get over how beautiful you are
women continuing to be reduced down to their appearance even when talking about a serious topic…

As someone who work in tech, I can tell you not everything have to be high tech. Sometimes it is bad if things are too over engineered. Like in the US, the farming equipment very high tech but if spoil only the manufacturer is allowed to repair which they charge a very high cost and take weeks or days for the company send someone down to repair it. While a lower tech farming equipment, most mechanic can fix and repair in hours if not a day for a much cheaper price. Same thing happened to the mcdonald's ice cream machine. The same thing will happen to China's EV car, when things break only the manufacturer can fix it. In the past you can go to your local mechnic to get it fix for cheap and take hours. It is not just China's EV car, my sister own a Tesla but when got into a minor accident, to get it fix need return the car to Tesla and took 2 months to get it fix. Also in most EV, all the simple and important functions are hide behind a touch screen menu in the name of being called high tech, but it is unnecessary and dangerous. I can tell you all those Chinese restaurants only have those robo waiter only do it for novelty sake, in 2-3 years they will revert back to human workers. I have already seen some restaurants revert back to human employees in my country. Lots of high tech stuff done in China is because of hype and trend, will not last due to high cost of maintenance. I can also tell you why biometrics security shoud not be used for every little thing. Biometerics is not hack proof and it is something you can't change if you get hacked, so biometrics data should only be used if the company behind the usage have the capability to secure it, which I do not think a public transport company can properly do it but a bank might. Sometimes a low tech solution is the most practical solution.
China is far into the future. their microphone is merely a fork and a cotton ball.
Have you heard Indian english?🤣🤣 This is not English. It is Hinglish.🤣🤣🤣
Zero daily practise, thats why.
I'm starting to see if i can learn your language, it's not an easy language to learn
Nice video with very helpful sentences to use in a restaurant.
Check Wikipedia for the 'Four Pests Campaign' - stupid Mao's dumb idea resulted in the death of millions of Chinese - yet they still worship this dumb hick who killed them. Geniuses.
你好老师 Could you please check this sentence using the structure: 一点儿也/都+不+adj? Complete the sentence with the word given: *我没带钱*, 我一点儿也没买 *(没买)*
El Inglés es una lengua basura. Los Sangleyes deberían aprender Español y Latín para que no se burlen de ellos los Mestizos e Insulares Filipinos. 😂😛✌️
Será muy basura pero es una de las lenguas más fáciles de aprender, en contraste el español, si bien tiene una pronunciación relativamente más sencilla que otras lenguas es mucho más complejo gramaticalmente, sin mencionar el medio centenar de acentos que existen, personalmente no elegiría el Español como lengua franca, no en términos globales. El Latín ya no se usa más que en ciertos contextos, en cuanto a Filipinas la mayoría ya sabe inglés debido a su pasado colonial, los pocos vestigios que quedan del Español se encuentran mezclados con el Tagalo y otras lenguas.
Really interesting! You should do the same video in Chinese for we who are studying.
What will happen when no power or black out suddenly 😮
The Western media and their paid FUDers are always talking about how "bad" China is but once you actually go there and go through the motions of life you realize how ahead they are. If people think Japan is high tech then they will be blown away once they head over to China. It's mind boggling how driven the Chinese are at moving forward. I have so much respect for them.
Sorry I think you’re wrong. Most Chinese people still live on a few dollars a day. Certain cities are on a par with developed cities elsewhere but it’s not the norm nationwide.
@@gstlb I understand that a lot of people suffer nowadays. The economy isn't doing good at all but I look at the bigger picture and I feel that the government of China truly looks at trying to make China a strong, independent and great nation that doesn't get abused by foreign powers. There's a lot at play here where they juggle internal affairs as well as "influences" by the West. I always look back to the century of humiliation that the Chinese experienced as their drive to become better. It infuriates me thinking about how the West tried to destroy China as a nation through it's people.
@@gstlb Also, just look at Japan, South Korea and Taiwan. They're economically doing very well but just consider this point I will make. The US has military bases all over their lands. They're basically "occupied" by the "West" in the name of "defense". Who are they defending against? Just pull up a map and look at which country is surrounded by these three bodies of land.
High tech now….many lay-offs and unemployed later
