Asian parents usually don't show too much emotions. The fact that your mom hugged you so many times and your dad smiled from ear to ear shows how happy they were and how very proud they are of you. Love your family.
I told myself I wouldn’t cry and I did. I swear this is every filial child’s dream is to pay it back to their parents. Your dad kept moving out of frame and that made me cry too because it was almost like he was shy to show his emotion on camera. Your mom is such a mom and I can tell she is great. Congratulations Mikey! And to your rents!
I think most people wish to give back to their parents, not just Asian. I really wish I could do this for my parents one day. It's a huge dream for most who love and respect their parents.
Melissa Luck agreed and I didn’t mean to exclude anyone in saying asian families! It just came to mind watching his video; I’m sorry if this offended at all.
@@meeniemoe no I wasn't offended at all! I was just saying that we all do in all cultures♥️ it's such a dream! I'm so happy he got to fulfill it for his parents
Geez, this vid got me choked up..sure brings back a lot of memories for me. In 2011, my sis and i did the same for our mom. We got her a new house with a nice garden so she could finally plant those flowers she always wanted. She had a happy 3 years in that house, then one night she went to bed and never woke up. Guys, cherish your parents. Even if they were tough(esp immigrant parents) on you growing up, whatever happened in the past, let it go. Dont leave anything unsaid, dont let any petty disagreements fill you with a lifetime of regret. Life is too short, if you're able to look after your parents and those close to you, do it! Peace.
@@healingvibrations7007 just cherish these precious moments with her. If shes able to talk, make sure to ask her any lingering questions or family history stuff, basically everything ull need to know to pass to your own kids and grand kids one day. Above all, just be there for her. Reassure her, tell her everyone will be ok, and that you will see her again one day. Sending you and your family nothing but goodwill and positive thoughts, may you find the courage and strength to navigate these challenging days to come.
So sorry to hear about your mom,but always know you made her happy and her dreams come true!🙏 Here's to the garden you gave her!🌼🌻🌼🌺⚘💐( I love gardening also)😊
I wish Mike would've hugged her mother back really tight 😅 who knows, maybe He did it off cam, but I really wanted to see that. For sure his mother is longing for that hug too, after several months not seeing their son then surprising them a beautiful home? 😅😂
This video brought tears to my eyes! The importance of family to Asians can’t be overstated. Our parents sacrifice so much for us so that we can flourish and it’s so important to give back! Very sweet and amazing that you could do that for your parents!
You’re probably the first TH-camr I’ve seen, who has mentioned the issues in China right now with Uighur Muslims. Thank you for creating awareness about this issue on your platform! 🙌🏻
@@whtdafuk1701 falun gong tried to launch a political party in NZ which had aggressive anti china policies that would have sunk our country, glad we were able to kick them to the curb.
@@mr.m2659 Don't agree with what they're doing now but, you try having tens of millions of your people shut in prison camps for your religion or beliefs, and then try not to launch a campaign against those who have perpetrated the crimes.
@Mr Ken No Ironic when during the Chinese Civil War, American Generals that were supposed to at least stay neutral, started actively helping the Communists because a country with a thousand years of history of dictatorship, didn't democratize fast enough.
Standing up to the CCP’s crimes against humanity as a Chinese person on such a large platform takes a lot of courage and I applaud you for doing the right thing and bringing awareness to the situation. Bravo, Mikey. Bravo.
@@neohubris Well, he's American not China-born. As long as he doesn't step into China, he's safe. China is paranoid, insecure, hence all those pre emptive clampdowns. A confident and self assured country needn't do that.
@@shaukatali-zq9ym It's a lovely condo in a convenient building to where Mikey's new restaurant is located, where his folks like to shop every day and won't need to drive to and they'll be able to see each other daily if they want. A win - win for everyone. Congratulations to both Mikey and his folks!
This was a tear jerker. The smile on your moms face was everything. My parents passed away before I could ever do something like this to show them how much they ment to me so watching things like this always warms my heart. You are a great person Mikey and I know they are very proud to have you as their son
Damn. I feel you. My mom passed when I was young and it's still my biggest regret to this day that I never got to tell her thank you. Even now, well into adulthood, I've learned that the pain never goes away.. you merely become stronger.. I still can't watch these type of videos without those suppressed feelings bubbling back up haha. Nothing better than shoving all your emotions in a dark recess of your mind!
@@Y0utub3me I feel you, I feel the same when it's mothers day and fathers day and my Instagram feed shows nothing but everyone spending time with their parents. It's nice to see but it makes me sad at the same time because I would give anything to hug my parents and spend time with them again
This made me tear up too. My Dad passed away and wish I could have done something like this for him to say thanks for being great Dad. Still got Mum though.
I'm crying, this is one of the sweetest gifts a child can give to their parents. We know Asian parents are so reluctant to accept big gifts from their kids too. Your mom was so happy!
Before knowing the apartment was for theirs, the parents were so happy for Mike. That's selfless love right there, how great is that So proud of you Mike, Keep it going
Even though dad didn’t say much, I know it warmed his heart. It was probably nerve wracking to tell his parents about the house. Asian parents usually say, “What? Are you crazy? This is so expensive! No!” 😂
My mom (we're chinese btw) was "what? Are you crazy? This is so expensive! No!" when I bought her a Nintendo Switch and a Ring Fit game last month. Her first console. Within 24 hours of setting it up Mom: "I played about 2/3 of the game." Me: "What? I've only played like 2 levels and a few minigames." Mom: "But the machine has a sort of burning smell..." Me: "Wait no we might have to return it and get it exchanged--" Mom: "If it's not a big problem I can live with it!" Me: "It's $300. Let's spend the money properly and get what we paid for. I don't want you to get into an electrical accident." Mom: "But I want to play it over Christmas :(" The switch was okay and it stopped smelling like burning. My mom is insanely attached to it.
The story that he and his parents are involved in a NON-PROFIT movements such as helping those underprivileged ones is a complete lie and for the simple-minded ones to believe in. Just look at the sedan, houses and apartments he possesses, where is the money coming from? Robbing the banks or donations from some philanthropists? I'm a Malaysian teacher who teaches Mandarin Chinese in Singapore.
@@jasongoh6105 from your reply, i bet you don't know that people earn literally millions from TH-cam, otherwise you wouldn't question where they get the money
@@jasongoh6105 you really do not understand how much a TH-camr can earn. Mike pulls in a very substantial amount of views, I've seen TH-camrs with less average views that have purchased very expensive things.
With all the pretty young girls he knows and gets along with, I've wondered this, myself. I mean, the dude's got looks, youth, health, great taste, celebrity status, a thriving multi-faceted career and now real estate holdings. How has he managed to not get married yet? You'd think every Chinatown in America would label him as the most eligible Asian bachelor.
Lunay LeZarde His breakup was fairly recent if you exclude the last several months for obvious reasons, so maybe we’re just too anxious on his behalf. 😅 He’d definitely be popular through a matchmaker, not that I think he really needs one, but it would expand his options beyond his social circle.
I want to see a video of Mike's mom meeting his new girlfriend. She must be excited for him. She's probably looking forward to getting some grand-babies. His parents are adorable, especially his mom.
as a son of a migrant family myself, this is absolutely amazing. being able to do this for your parents, it must mean so much to your parents and also to yourself. so happy for you and your family!
The greatest gift a child can ever give to his parents. Not the home, that was great but the happiness. Even when the home is gone the gift of happiness shall remain on. Mike, and I think I can speak for all of your followers...we greatly appreciate your allowing us all to be on this journey with you. Thanks from all your "Dumplings"!!!
You’re a child that every parent would love to have..you did your parents proud..it was heart warming! My respect for you has just grown exponentially…love your videos btw
Mikey, I'm so moved by your generous heartfelt gift to your parents. Knowing how most Asians don't show physical affection, the many hugs she gave you is very telling of how happy you made her. Thanks for sharing this precious moment with all of us!
Asian parents are the same all over -- they feed you enough for an army even when you just ate, and the first question from them is "when are you getting married?" God love 'em
As an asian, one of the most shocking things is how comfortable your mom is with hugs! Such a wonderful relationship and so beautiful to see how generous you are!
This is what everyone kid dreams about: giving back to their parents; to repay all the years they spent raising us. Hopefully I will be able to do something like this in the near-future. Maybe on a larger scale ❤️
Wow man i respect you more now because of your parents, Muslims are suffering in China, i love how you brought that subject up and talked about it ,thanks
@@2nemuri oh i get you your writing sort of suggested that his parents are muslims suffering in china, but its fine. Yes i agree with you about having greater respect for Mike.
This made me tear up. Your parents seem like the most honest, hard-working, and sincere individuals - I’m so glad you could do this for them. They raised a great son; I’m wishing your family all the best and continued good health💙
Chinese parents are like whenever you come back home, you have a whole bunch of food ready to eat. I havent seen my parents for almost 2 years now. This made me cry... They, all the Chinese people deserve a better gov! Thank you, Mike!
1. Stands against China's oppression of various minorities within their own borders 2. Is a filial son 3. Loves to eat good food 4. Is funny af Mikey Best Guy 2020?????
I lost it when she said they could never dream of a place like that 😭 this is beyond heartwarming! Congratulations to you and your parents and obviously it’s a testament to how awesome they are! 💗
One of the best feelings in the world; giving back to your parents not because you owe them for raising you but because you love them as much as they do. I hope I can do the same for my parents. Thank you for this one Mikey! P.S. I'm a Filipino and Filipinos do love karaoke. 😂
Mikey, your parents' story about immigrating to America resonates so deeply with me. It mirrors my beloved folks' humble start over here as well. How heartwarming for your parents to receive such a wonderful gift of gratitude! 💖💖
As the Mom of a teenage son - we all hope that our children love us the way that you love yours when they are grown. Your parents have done a wonderful job raising you!
This is like a lot of kids dream from childhood. We would say to our parents "One day Im going to buy you a house." Congrats- you actually were able to do that. This is so touching. 😭
I can see how moms are immediately elated and proud of the house while dads are containing their happiness just to be grounded and when we leave he shows the appreciation to the mom.
When your Mom kept hugging you, that’s what got me. Asian parents are not particularly affectionate so I knew just how grateful they were for what you did. You’re a wonderful son Mike and they will never forget this gift you gave them. Also, I was cracking up at you saying not to tell your parents that you ate before you went to their apartment. I will lie and suffer the stomachache just not to let my Mom know I ate beforehand.
I have so much respect for you. What a great thing you did for your parents. Even more, I am so awed by your parents and your commitment to human rights and calling out the CCP for their GENOCIDE. God bless your parents and you.
This is everyone child of an immigrants dream. To make it big enough to buy our parents the house they deserve. congratulations my man and hope you more success to come
Mikey is a grown up man but when he's with his parents he becomes a baby haha you can really see how much he treasures his parents. Thank you for inspiring us! I aspire to do the same someday and inspire others as well
You literally made me cry and miss my parents so badly. I'm here NJ alone and my parents are in Korea. Well no one asked but I just wanna share my situation.
Forget the ‘Like’ button, where’s the ‘Love’ button?! I got so teary eye when Mike announced the apartment was for them. What an amazing moment! So much love from his mother and then she told him to eat less 😂 typical Asian parents 🤭😂
Mike was a bit shy when she hugged him over again. He could not hug her back! I wonder where they will have dinner. On the kitchen island or sofa and coffee table? He must feel amazing doing this, but I would have done it without filming and publishing it. It is such a private event. But each it's own. It is still an amazing thing to do. 🥰
Why in the hell would anyone dislike this video? Must be people who couldn’t do the same for their parents. You’re a good man, Mike. Your parents are lucky to have a son like you. Love your content by the way 🤙🏽
So thoughtful of you to do that for your parents. Your mom giving you countless hugs was so heartwarming. Last but not the least, thank you for speaking up about the atrocities committed by Chinese Communist Govt, which I know is not easy task to do on social media. As a Tibetan food content creator, it is very inspiring to me to see someone with your scale of platform to have such integrity and courage. Shine on 💛
brother i envy you so much. im 32 and just as im about to thank my parents my mom passed away last month. im so happy for you that you still have them with you. May God bless you and youur parents abundantly
I'm so sorry to hear of your Mom's passing Benj, I can imagine the pain of that. But, my belief is that she is always looking down on you and knows how much you love her and every time you think of her and remember her then she'll live on in you. She knows Benj, keep on loving her. I know, as mine has passed too but they are with you forever. Take care.
I'm so sorry for your loss. I know how deep this hurts. I lost my father last year, and I'm also in a similar situation about to give back, but then he was taken from us. It cuts so deep. I know people say that our parents are still with us, but that is a small consolation when we want our parents here with us. Be strong and I wish you all the best, Benj.
Re watching this again... Makes me cry again and again. We Asians really do look for our elderly not bc it should be but it's our gratitude towards their sacrifices. That's y you are blessed. Hope to see your parents again with there new home. Godbless and keep safe
You are a REAL man. Your parents ARE proud of you. This whole community is proud of you. You make so many videos, but this will be one of the most memorable ones.
Made me tear up man. This is what is all about. Money’s nice but sharing with your people is everything. You can’t bring all thay money when you die one day
Got teary eyed when she was saying " thank you son".... we moms love it when our children show us some love....and buying them a house is an amazing gift from children to parents , I did that for my parents too, it's a very Filipino or Asian thing....
The fact you are speaking Mandarin with your parents made me tear up 🥺 It’s so important to know your origin culture language even if you are grown and raised up in another country. So many of my friends who don’t know how to speak Mandarin to their parents although they are Chinese descent. As a second generation Chinese American grown in America I am proud of you 👍💖👍
As the child of immigrant parents (although technically I immigrated with them), everything about this video speaks to me on a personal level. so happy for your parents Mike!
Awwwww that's so sweet & such a Blessing to be able to that for ur parents. I wish my parents were still here MAY they RIP & LOVE This brought tears to my eyes.... HAPPY TEARS!!!!!🥰🥰🥰
Your mom's giggles of happiness as she went into the bedroom and sat on the bed were the best part of this. It was what I imagine a child would sound like if given a bouncy house. Left speechless, but the giggles can't be contained. So sweet. You're a great son! :)
This is so lovely. It’s so nice when you can give back to your parents. Made me cry your mum was so shocked and happy. Such a beautiful thing to do, when are world is going through such a bad time. 💕💕💕
This is really heartwarming and to see how happy your parents is. My family been living on rented place since i’m young and my mom always wanted us to have a place on our own. When I finally start working and finally bought a house and was doing renovation , my mum was happy but unfortunately she din get the chance to move in as she got stroke one day and never recovered and passed away after. So I was really happy to see that you are doing wat u did for your parents 👍
“Honor thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long”…Exodus 20:12 This was so beautiful, thank you for sharing such a sweet moment. Many blessings to your parents and you Mikey! 💜
This made me tear up. Your parents are so appreciative of everything you do for them. They must know how much you love and appreciate them as well. Being Asian, showing emotion is such a rare thing growing up. To have your mom give hugs and kisses and your dad beaming from ear to ear is the highest praise. Cherish your parents while they are still here on this earth. ❤
Really nice! Did something similar to my parents a while ago. Like most Asian cultures, Nigerians learn to respect parents and elders. The funniest part is my Dad reacted pretty much the same way yours did while my mom kept crying and hugging me. Cheers!
Mad respect for you for highlighting China’s issues. Many people like Jackie Chan or Lebrun James tend to turn their backs against the problem despite a larger following. So happy for your parents too!
This warmed my heart. So happy that your parents loved the new place. You deserve all that you worked hard for. Good job, Mike!
Wow! What a suprise to see you here.
Very nice one sir Mike Chen!!! My dad loves all your videos god bless
Fell good happy moment. Make me think of my loving parents.
So kool
Feel so touched !! Your parents are so blessed to have you!! Keep up the good work!!

You’re a child that every parent would love to have..you did your parents proud..it was heart warming! My respect for you has just grown exponentially…love your videos btw
Mikey, I'm so moved by your generous heartfelt gift to your parents. Knowing how most Asians don't show physical affection, the many hugs she gave you is very telling of how happy you made her. Thanks for sharing this precious moment with all of us!
Asian parents are the same all over -- they feed you enough for an army even when you just ate, and the first question from them is "when are you getting married?" God love 'em
More like they feed you than say why you so fat
@@KChow83 I mean, it happened right towards the end of the video lol
Yeah I'm an Asian and I got questions like that quite often until my parents were already in heaven. I'm still single, mom and pop 😭
My parent do neither. They keep good food for themselves and they never want me to get married so i would have to take care of them
I’m Latina and I can say the same for my family 😅😂🤣👏🏼
As an asian, one of the most shocking things is how comfortable your mom is with hugs! Such a wonderful relationship and so beautiful to see how generous you are!
Mom is so sweet. Dad is the typical Asian man, very stoic and proud. It’s hard for them to show their emotions. 😊
Your mom is literally the cutest human. Her little giggles just warmed my heart.
This is what everyone kid dreams about: giving back to their parents; to repay all the years they spent raising us. Hopefully I will be able to do something like this in the near-future. Maybe on a larger scale ❤️
You'll need a big salary first. Gotta become an engineer, lawyer, or doctor.
@@rahathasan819 none of the richest people in the world are any of the things u just mentioned. Lol
Funny now as a parent I see the other side. I don’t want my kid to be giving anything back to me 😂 I just want them to live their fullest life
Wow man i respect you more now because of your parents, Muslims are suffering in China, i love how you brought that subject up and talked about it ,thanks
They aren't muslims?? Didn't he say that they were falungong?
@@kagebunshin4380 Yeah but he also spoke about the issues that Uyghurs are facing at 2:00
@@2nemuri oh i get you your writing sort of suggested that his parents are muslims suffering in china, but its fine. Yes i agree with you about having greater respect for Mike.
Asian kids to Asian parents. This made me cry. Also built my parents a house 7 years ago.
They raised you well.
Mike's dad is just being an Asian dad. Mum hugs, he walks away smiling
@asian dude Mike himself has explained they fit some of the stereotypes on many occasions.
Yup! 😂
my parents are EXACTLY the same lol
Remind me of my Dad,Always right in the corner.
@asian dude bruh chill, my dad is the same. In fact majority of father's in my country are like this 🤣🤦🏾♀️
This made me tear up. Your parents seem like the most honest, hard-working, and sincere individuals - I’m so glad you could do this for them. They raised a great son; I’m wishing your family all the best and continued good health💙
Chinese parents are like whenever you come back home, you have a whole bunch of food ready to eat. I havent seen my parents for almost 2 years now. This made me cry... They, all the Chinese people deserve a better gov! Thank you, Mike!
Your parents are so lovely...your mom is a gem. love this story...you're a great son!
love watching humble people achieve great things!!
1. Stands against China's oppression of various minorities within their own borders
2. Is a filial son
3. Loves to eat good food
4. Is funny af
Mikey Best Guy 2020?????
downthispath the beacon of our 2020
Yes!
We need more mikeys in this world!
Ikr? Also his parents are volunteers and activists. One can see that Mikey had great role models in his parents. Amazing family!
Broxh :v
I lost it when she said they could never dream of a place like that 😭 this is beyond heartwarming! Congratulations to you and your parents and obviously it’s a testament to how awesome they are! 💗
One of the best feelings in the world; giving back to your parents not because you owe them for raising you but because you love them as much as they do. I hope I can do the same for my parents. Thank you for this one Mikey!
P.S.
I'm a Filipino and Filipinos do love karaoke. 😂
Mikey, your parents' story about immigrating to America resonates so deeply with me. It mirrors my beloved folks' humble start over here as well. How heartwarming for your parents to receive such a wonderful gift of gratitude! 💖💖
no lie cry when she said "this son... what a good son" just so pure and sweet! Good Job making your folks happy!
As the Mom of a teenage son - we all hope that our children love us the way that you love yours when they are grown. Your parents have done a wonderful job raising you!
Hope you are raising him that way. Cant just pop out a kid and hope they love you enough to buy you a house
This is like a lot of kids dream from childhood. We would say to our parents "One day Im going to buy you a house." Congrats- you actually were able to do that. This is so touching. 😭
I can see how moms are immediately elated and proud of the house while dads are containing their happiness just to be grounded and when we leave he shows the appreciation to the mom.
Best gift to your parents. Trips don’t last. A home is forever. You’re a good son for blessing hard working parents.
Actually memories of those trips, and the experiences you gain stay with you forever, so they are also very valuable
Not having to worry about rent will massively improve your life
To be able to give back to your parents like that is almost every Asian son's dream. Way to go dude, they're so proud of you.
When your Mom kept hugging you, that’s what got me. Asian parents are not particularly affectionate so I knew just how grateful they were for what you did. You’re a wonderful son Mike and they will never forget this gift you gave them.
Also, I was cracking up at you saying not to tell your parents that you ate before you went to their apartment. I will lie and suffer the stomachache just not to let my Mom know I ate beforehand.
Camera aside, his response to the hug was also very Asian. :-D We're not very huggy, so when my parents hug me, it feels weird!
I have so much respect for you. What a great thing you did for your parents. Even more, I am so awed by your parents and your commitment to human rights and calling out the CCP for their GENOCIDE. God bless your parents and you.
Mikey man this was amazing. Everyone dreams this for their parents.
Its mikey chen bro not mickey chen
Mick what a great nickname
@@ar_zyx typo, very simple mistake no need to be a grammar nazi.
@@ar_zyx my apologies for the addition of the letter C.
This is everyone child of an immigrants dream. To make it big enough to buy our parents the house they deserve. congratulations my man and hope you more success to come
Your god damn right
Junie Cardenas Lol. Breaking Bad. Walter white. Say my name. 👍🤝🙋🏻♂️✌️
Mikey is a grown up man but when he's with his parents he becomes a baby haha you can really see how much he treasures his parents. Thank you for inspiring us! I aspire to do the same someday and inspire others as well
Mike is a good son to his parents and a model immigrant American. Thanks Mike..you inspire me and many of us.
You literally made me cry and miss my parents so badly. I'm here NJ alone and my parents are in Korea. Well no one asked but I just wanna share my situation.
Hang in there.
Aw you’ll be together again before you know it. Hopefully you’ll live close to each other again soon xx
Sending some ❤️. My daughter is alone and away from us in Hungary. I hope you see your parents soon!
That's such a tough situation ❤️ I hope you get to see them soon!
What part of N.J? I just passed through a month ago.
Forget the ‘Like’ button, where’s the ‘Love’ button?! I got so teary eye when Mike announced the apartment was for them. What an amazing moment! So much love from his mother and then she told him to eat less 😂 typical Asian parents 🤭😂
“Close enough is fine”. gotta love mom.
As a parent myself, and not a rich one at that... I'm proud of you MC. Good lad
aww mama chen was so excited 🥺 the amount of hugs
Mike was a bit shy when she hugged him over again. He could not hug her back!
I wonder where they will have dinner. On the kitchen island or sofa and coffee table?
He must feel amazing doing this, but I would have done it without filming and publishing it. It is such a private event. But each it's own. It is still an amazing thing to do. 🥰
Why in the hell would anyone dislike this video? Must be people who couldn’t do the same for their parents. You’re a good man, Mike. Your parents are lucky to have a son like you. Love your content by the way 🤙🏽
those who disliked this vid are losers who was never able to gift their parents anything but a headche
310 ppl lol
The people who disliked were the Filipinos who karaokes all day and night. Lol
Salty people who cannot afford the same for thier parents
your an excellent son
So thoughtful of you to do that for your parents. Your mom giving you countless hugs was so heartwarming. Last but not the least, thank you for speaking up about the atrocities committed by Chinese Communist Govt, which I know is not easy task to do on social media. As a Tibetan food content creator, it is very inspiring to me to see someone with your scale of platform to have such integrity and courage. Shine on 💛
momo
This is awesome…such a great Son…they must be proud👍🥰👍
Not gonna lie when you showed your parents the keys & your mom just smiled from ear to ear! That made me tear up. I'm so happy for you & your family!
brother i envy you so much. im 32 and just as im about to thank my parents my mom passed away last month. im so happy for you that you still have them with you. May God bless you and youur parents abundantly
I'm so sorry to hear of your Mom's passing Benj, I can imagine the pain of that. But, my belief is that she is always looking down on you and knows how much you love her and every time you think of her and remember her then she'll live on in you. She knows Benj, keep on loving her. I know, as mine has passed too but they are with you forever. Take care.
I'm so sorry for your loss.
I’m so sorry to hear this sad news, god bless you and your family
I'm so sorry for your loss. I know how deep this hurts. I lost my father last year, and I'm also in a similar situation about to give back, but then he was taken from us. It cuts so deep.
I know people say that our parents are still with us, but that is a small consolation when we want our parents here with us. Be strong and I wish you all the best, Benj.
You're their only child and I must say they got themselves a good one!
Re watching this again... Makes me cry again and again. We Asians really do look for our elderly not bc it should be but it's our gratitude towards their sacrifices. That's y you are blessed. Hope to see your parents again with there new home. Godbless and keep safe
I never comment but this literally brought tears to my eyes. You can tell how grateful your Mom is and even your Dads stoic reaction is so typical :)
You are a REAL man. Your parents ARE proud of you. This whole community is proud of you. You make so many videos, but this will be one of the most memorable ones.
Made me tear up man. This is what is all about. Money’s nice but sharing with your people is everything. You can’t bring all thay money when you die one day
That's so great you got your parents a home you are a great son. You are a fantastic person buddy! I love the person you are your great.
If all sons and daughters loved their parents this much....would be such a beautiful world...
Got teary eyed when she was saying " thank you son".... we moms love it when our children show us some love....and buying them a house is an amazing gift from children to parents , I did that for my parents too, it's a very Filipino or Asian thing....
mega respect.
Oohh😢😢 this makes me so teary blessing to you the most beautiful one can ever do is giving more so to people who love you unconditionally
The fact you are speaking Mandarin with your parents made me tear up 🥺 It’s so important to know your origin culture language even if you are grown and raised up in another country. So many of my friends who don’t know how to speak Mandarin to their parents although they are Chinese descent. As a second generation Chinese American grown in America I am proud of you 👍💖👍
Mike was born in China actually. He speaks Mandarin in a bunch of his other videos too
As the child of immigrant parents (although technically I immigrated with them), everything about this video speaks to me on a personal level. so happy for your parents Mike!
This was so sweet... I cried. I hope to give back to my Asian parents like this someday. I think I'll call them after watching this video.
Awwwww that's so sweet & such a Blessing to be able to that for ur parents. I wish my parents were still here MAY they RIP & LOVE
This brought tears to my eyes.... HAPPY TEARS!!!!!🥰🥰🥰
Your mom's giggles of happiness as she went into the bedroom and sat on the bed were the best part of this. It was what I imagine a child would sound like if given a bouncy house. Left speechless, but the giggles can't be contained. So sweet. You're a great son! :)
This is so lovely. It’s so nice when you can give back to your parents. Made me cry your mum was so shocked and happy. Such a beautiful thing to do, when are world is going through such a bad time. 💕💕💕
Dad always seem like no emotions but i can see he is extremely proud of his son.
CrossSkullz That’s how most Asian dads operate.
S. Lucas I’m Asian that’s why i knew XD
CrossSkullz Same here. 🤣
It's official, Mike is my favourite TH-camr. He's so unbelievably selfless. I teared up a bit! This was lovely!
You are such a sweet child to make your parents happy!
This is really heartwarming and to see how happy your parents is. My family been living on rented place since i’m young and my mom always wanted us to have a place on our own. When I finally start working and finally bought a house and was doing renovation , my mum was happy but unfortunately she din get the chance to move in as she got stroke one day and never recovered and passed away after. So I was really happy to see that you are doing wat u did for your parents 👍
“Don’t tell my parents I ate already” he says with lunch chilling on his shirt. 😂 I love it.
Your parents are ADORABLE. I'm argentinian and, for all latinamericans, what you just did is a dream come true for every one. Congratulations!
I agree ☝🏼
“Honor thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long”…Exodus 20:12 This was so beautiful, thank you for sharing such a sweet moment. Many blessings to your parents and you Mikey! 💜
This brought tears to my eyes, you are what every good Asian son or daughter strive to honor their parents. Kudos! Your parents are lovely people.
This made me tear up. Your parents are so appreciative of everything you do for them. They must know how much you love and appreciate them as well.
Being Asian, showing emotion is such a rare thing growing up. To have your mom give hugs and kisses and your dad beaming from ear to ear is the highest praise.
Cherish your parents while they are still here on this earth. ❤
Really nice! Did something similar to my parents a while ago. Like most Asian cultures, Nigerians learn to respect parents and elders. The funniest part is my Dad reacted pretty much the same way yours did while my mom kept crying and hugging me. Cheers!
i know ,got my mom a car a while back and she couldn't stop praying for me and thanking me .
@ this video isn't about "those parents", so be positive, at least on this video.
You raise my spirit in today's troubling climate. God bless you for what you do...from Thailand.
The struggle of every single Asian male is the marriage convos 😂 Congrats Mikey you truly are a Good Son.
😂😂😂 with every Filipinos as well!
kj c Go slow on the karaoke🤣🤣🤣

Mad respect for you for highlighting China’s issues. Many people like Jackie Chan or Lebrun James tend to turn their backs against the problem despite a larger following. So happy for your parents too!
what Issues in china?
@@sdcheung the persecution of Muslims in China is what Mikey specifically mentioned, but there is far more if you Google.
China will sooner or later be engulfed by the flames of karma it created.
That's because most celebs are bought and paid for. 666

Your parents are amazing. Thank y’all helping my Uyghur brothers and sisters.
You made your parents very happy. The look on their faces, even on your dad's, showed immense pride. I can only wish to make my mom that happy.
