The reluctant martyr (music)
The images from this song are from a recent bicycle trip in Hebei province and Shandong province.
Lyrics of the song related to the futility of the war in Europe and my hope that it ends soon.
'Every death
Hurts my soul
As the winter comes
I'm not doing well.
First we lost the best
Who answered the call
Then the very good
We lost them as well.
Leaves fall from the trees too soon
Cold winds blow
Brothers and friends
Have gone below.
My soul is a tattered banner
Blowing in a winter wind
I am the reluctant martyr
Guilty as sin.'

After living in China for over ten years I began to think about some of the things that friends were saying to me about China. And I sort of thought it might be useful to make some videos so they could SEE and HEAR what the country is really like or at least the small part of it that I experience.

This is a song about being reminded of some past feelings. Not a sad song in any sense. The image is of an old cart. In the past in Tianjin things were constantly moved from the port which was the river to the houses where the well to do lived (mainly wealthy Chinese and their various concubines) in the various concessions. This cart is over 100 years old and is a testament to the skill of its ...

    Idk wtf you think this proves but I was just in China and yeah sure, there were some very polite and fruendly people. But overall, it was a terrible experience. I was cussed at in a language I dont understand (assuming I was being cussed at based on the body language, intonation, and overall clear aggression) of the ppl shouting at me on the street when id just be walking around. This was FAR more common than the sweet friendly lady at the restuarant by my hotel who was super nice.

    The U.S. “Strategic Competition Act of 2021” had allocated $15 billion over five years to hinder & smear China . Budgets are available for the MSM / vloggers to bad mouth China and to " invest in our values & counter the malign influence of the Chinese Communist Party globally “. This may be why we see many “China Bad / China Collapsing … ” stories in the Western MSM "News" all these years . The new $1.6B H.R.1157 - Countering the PRC Malign Influence Fund Authorization Act of 2023 is a continuous effort to hinder & smear China .

    Hello from a fellow Australian 👋. I think someone calling you stupid was very unfair however you are extremely naive and ignorant on the topic of China and its activities in the current world. You are right in saying that the Chinese are great people and they are. No argument there but to say that they have great leadership that is pushing them forward with little to no friction in the world is breathtakingly ignorant. Whilst China has many large cities with modern comforts and luxuries, the reality is that the majority of the country lives in what the rest of the world would define as poverty and in very tough conditions. The CCP class anyone that earns $339.7 USD (RMB 2,300) or more to not be in poverty yet $56 million Chinese still live below this mark and many millions not far above. I don't know of anywhere you could live on $0.93 USD and not experience anything other than utter poverty. People and areas that won't be seen by the outside world have little to no chance of being developed and given the resources to make their lives even remotely comfortable let alone enjoyable. The PLA is constantly having skirmishes with India, harassing Taiwan with military aircraft and otherwise, attacking Filipino boats in their own waters, attacking other aircraft and sea vessels outside of their waters in the South China Sea and even today in the news releasing a map that calls part of Russia their own which has annoyed Putin greatly. I could go on but hopefully you get the idea. I understand that there are plenty of great things happening within China and the Chinese people are great as well but to be governed by the one party for 75 years is not healthy. How can it be good for China and the Chinese if the Chinese themselves can't even decide upon who governs them. The CCP is only there because they won a civil war. No other reason. The Chinese need effective governance. Not the corrupt, baijiu swilling, inward looking rabble that is in charge now, thumping their chest in front of the world. The Chinese people deserve far better.

      Hi Mr. Baldwin, thanks for such a lengthy comment and I want to show you some respect for making such a large comment. You seem to appreciate the nuanced aspects. Poverty is something that concerns me a great deal and it's obviously something that also concerns the Chinese government and people. I do understand your perspective because it's a perspective that I myself held for a long long time. I strongly encourage you to come to the country and learn more and more. You might be surprised to learn how sophisticated and aware many of the younger (60 years and below) public servants are and how determined they are to make their country developed.

    Poor China. These guys have taken a country with thousands of years of history and culture and turned it into a bureaucratic nightmare. I mean, their buildings go up faster than you can say "planned obsolescence" and come down just as quickly. It's like they're trying to win a prize for the fastest collapsing infrastructure. And why? Because of corruption and bad building practices. They cut corners, they line their pockets, and they couldn't care less about the people living in those death traps. And the lies! The CCP doesn't just tell lies; they manufacture them on an industrial scale. They've got this whole "there is no truth but power" mentality. It's like Orwell's 1984 but with worse architecture. They pump out propaganda like it's their national pastime, brainwashing their people from cradle to grave. And then they ban social media platforms so their citizens can't see the world outside their little bubble. Meanwhile, they send their agents to use those very same platforms to spread their garbage in the West. If the propaganda isn't fit for their own people, what does that say about the crap they're shoveling at us? It's malicious, it's targeted, and it's downright insidious. And the shills in the West? Don't even get me started. These are the people who'd sell their own grandmothers for a quick buck. They'll take Chinese money and parrot the CCP's lies like well-paid ventriloquist dummies. They're complicit in spreading misinformation and undermining democracy. It's sickening. So yeah, the CCP is a disaster. They've ruined China, they're spreading their poison abroad, and they've got a whole legion of Western lackeys willing to help them do it. It's a circus, and we're all being forced to buy a ticket

    I'd be interested in more vids about finance in China, how much schools pay; how much one can potentially save per month; rent/food costs in China; side hustles; business opportunities etc. "Ben Teaches English" doesn't upload much now and he's left a clear gap in the market! Pinch his business model, he's not using it, he's made it now ;)

    “Culture” isn’t the same thing as oppression. People like you should maybe think about WHY the Chinese government hires people like you. You know, video producers who say exactly what the CCP wants you to, eh? People like you who never say anything that would make a nationalistic Chinese person upset, and who attacks anyone who DOES care about China to want it to improve for its people. No one is saying China is terrible and the people are bad (your need to claim that’s what they believe and do proves you are dishonest.) Serpenza and Laowhy are critical of the facts of the Chinese government, and how that affects people. Saying “China is China” accepts everything China does and makes the government seem benevolent, which is not the case. The things, unless you take downers, it’s easy to hear in your voice and to see in your demeanor that you aren’t defending yourself, you’re just saying “sh*t happens, oh well” like China is as free as Western countries. They talk about the problems in china because the people of china are not allowed to talk about the problems of china, to help the Chinese, you just take your paycheck knowing you can leave at any time, ended a Chinese person can't escape if the gov decides they have a bad attitude. Making the Chinese gov feel like they lose face is the entire POINT of their show. The entire point of your show, and other traitors to humanity like you, is to make easy money by helping the CCP create propaganda.

    Your claim that China (the people, the PLA and CCP) are peaceful. I would be interested in your explaining the counterclaim disputing this claim of being peaceful, These are a few but there are many more: 1. Border dispute with India over land that was always considered Indian until Mao wanted the high ground in the area. Despite there being an LAC border agreed on the Chinese are building infrastructure on the the Indian side. 2. China is building 7 dams on the Tibetian plateau and will have the ability to cut off water to a third of India and all of Bangladesh OR cause flooding 3. There used to be a country called Tibet 4. How are the Uyghurs going? 5. I dare you to practice Falun Gong 6. Border disputes with Russia, and Vietnam ....... let's just say China has border disputes with anyone they share a border with and then some more- see point 7 below 7. Nine dash line of the South China Sea and the construction of military bases of island that were never Chinese. Explain the actions of the Chinese Navy toward the Philipines and Vietnam. 8. Why are there Chinese bases on Australian Antarctic territory. 9. Why do the Chinese seek to usurp the Indian Naval power in the Indian Ocean with the establishment of Naval bases and presence in SriLanka, Pakistan, Maldives, and somewhere in the Middle East There are plenty more than the above. I suspect that the above won't even cause you to consider that you are incorrect. I suspect you are hoping the CCP approach you to become one of their paid shills.

      Hello Simeon, thanks for taking the time to leave a comment. I'll begin at the end by saying I don't want to be paid by any government to say nice things about them. I'm not an apologist for the Chinese government and I'm not a Chinese nationalist. You've mentioned borders. Well, almost every country on Earth that has a border has an ongoing border dispute. Hard borders are a relatively modern phenomenon. Prior to modern cartography countries just sort of vaguely ended and began. All countries with minority populations face challenges regarding equality and opportunity but the minorities you have mentioned have access to the largest economy and market in Asia. I think if you really investigate that cult you'll find that it's a way to scam money from people and its leaders claim they can fly and survive bullet wounds and all kinds of nonsense. History shows that the largest power in Asia will always try to control the South China Sea. It was inevitable that China would try to control it fully after the US withdrawal from Vietnam. I trust the Chinese to manage the waterway and keep Philippine pirates out of it. Australian Antarctic Territory is something that I would want to uphold and defend as an Australian but this territory hosts many countries research bases and I think the pursuit of science is a very good thing. Why wouldn't the Chinese seek to usurp India in the Indian Ocean? Having said that I don't see much evidence for Chinese naval power in the Indian Ocean. If the Chinese were serious they'd build bases on Madagascar and control it from there. That's what I would do.

      @@bikebasket9594 Jordan I hope this reply finds you healthy and happy. Apology: In response to your most recent message I would like to apologise for my antagonistic comments of you wanting to be paid by the Chinese government. This sort of personal attack is not acceptable when it is based on drama and/or opinion. For this I apologise. Border disputes: Comparison to other countries having border disputes does not excuse the unilateral and non-compromising way the Chinese have made claims and begun occupation with support of The PLA, Chinese Navy, & Chinese Coast Guard in some cases. The CCP have even indicated that they believe they have rights in the Arctic as a “Near Arctic Nation” South China Sea: China is a signatory of the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea. I would argue that the about 150 countries signed to the convention constitutes a larger power than China. More importantly, this is part of the US post WWII policing of the seas (the corruption of the good done by the US by the US in recent decades is a separate issue) saw the greatest period of peace and economic prosperity for the whole world. China, as stated by China, seeks to take the role that the US created but “with Chinese characteristics”. Minorities: There are serious claims and evidence of human rights abuses against Uyghurs and Falun Gong along the lines of imprisonment and organ harvesting. I found your response lacking as it only sought to discredit the minorities not address the human rights issue. India: China V India issues 1. Border disputes 2. Water disputes 3. Usurp Indian trade and naval power The “One Belt One Road” (now called “Belt and Road” so as to not sound so arrogant) is part of efforts to hamper the rise of India ad China did. India has made clear that peace is the desired status and China claims the same while doing whatever they want. India will not be bullied as is the case with SEA and I envisage these two nuclear armed nations being the most likely starting point of WWIII. (I will have to cut this reply short as I’ve got to get to work)
