I like documentaries. BBC , DW and NHK rules in this area. But CNA is taking documentaries to whole new level. I really enjoyed. Content make sense all over till end. 👌
Thank you for your kind words!
@Soulwalker Young I agree that CNA Insider does a wonderful job in documentaries. However, I disagree with the assumption that the three other medio corporations you mentioned are totally biased, racist, or Anti-Chinese.
I think their portrayal of China is fairly accurate and neutral, especially DW and NHK, which focus on many of the social aspects instead of politics.
Are they biased? Yes to some minor extents. But I think you shouldn't discredit BBC, DW, NHK for their factual and in depth reporting on all types of news and events.
Compared to Fox, the Sun, RT, CNN, CGTN, which spread low quality news and extremely biased views that bend or distort the reality of events to fit their narratives, I think BBC, DW, NHK aren't nearly as biased and doing a far better job.
@@CNAInsider less rascist and less biased, represents their foreign policy through media...
unlike imperialist Nations medias.
I so agree to this I enjoy watching documentaries and no doubt CNA rocks in this area
i dont mean to be offtopic but does any of you know of a way to get back into an Instagram account..?
I was stupid lost the account password. I would love any tricks you can give me
Very refreshing to see a documentary about China that doesnt involve a political point of view, but rather tells the story of its people with all the good and bad that comes with it. Its good to realise for most westerners that China is much more than the Chinese government alone.
Same with documentaries about the New Silk road. They prefer keep finding whatever "human right violations" they can found instead to show How the projects helped people.
Just because you can't find non political documentaries doesn't mean they don't exist, they're literally everywhere
Honestly the migrant worker population story is the probably the most touching. The Chinese government has been making huge effort to reduce inflow to the first tier cities as there basically capped and sending people to the second/third tier cities.
It was so cool when he said "The dreams we have when we are young will definitely come true". That's some anime-protagonist confidence right there.
This journey through China is a complete revelation. The narrator is an artist, able to describe through her own voice and the actions and explanations of the captivating people that she interviews. The adults, children and places involved themselves provide an anthropological insight into the lives of these dynamic and sensible participants. This is a discovery that reveals the wonder and hardship of being human , and also the hope and search for individual dreams in a Chinese context.
I can only feel a profound respect and enchantment after following this exceptional
and revealing program.
Thank You. ♦️♦️♦️
I really enjoyed this four-part documentary on China, thanks for putting this together CNA!
I have always loved Chinese people,but through this lady my opinion has risen so much of China ,She is the best ambassador
this is a kind of documentary that wont give u high blood pressure in the end. lol. informative, and eyecatcher. great watch.
Thanks CNA, true and real story about the normal life in China and why China became so great, like it.
Zhou Yijun has done a remarkable job with this series. I would like to request subtitles. There are instances when she talks, and her accent is quite strong. I hope subtitles will be added in the future. Second, the American dream is not just being famous/successful/rich, it's the promise of freedom. You have the freedom to be the architect of your life. You can work your hardest, and you get to keep what you earn, you get to dictate how you conduct your life. America does not promise equality, or an easy life, but you have the right to "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness". It's crucial that people understand this. It's not just about money. You must have the liberty to pursue a life of happiness.
Hi mmrgratitudes! We've added subtitles for this entire series. Thanks for the suggestion and thanks for watching!
The full playlist is available here: th-cam.com/play/PLkMf14VQEvTZfN8cbUew6XYlZ40MWC5xD.html
america didn't pursue the happiness of syrian, libyan, iraqi, iranian, serbian, russian, cuban, venezuelan and afghan but creates poverty and sadness around the world just for the jews happiness. Is it a wonderful america or monstrous america??
utter bullshit lol
Are you sure Americans have liberty to live? 500,000+ had liberty to die.
Very2 historic and beautiful scene. Very2 good tourism and tiring to walk and see. Govt shd make facility easily to reach the best scene.
BEAUTY OF CHINA'S WISDOM.
Awesome series
Good documentary. Thank you.
I really wonder how one feels when their own countrymen call them a "migrant" worker
In China they are not called migrant workers, in Chinese they are 农民工, literally workers from rural areas, not foreign workers or 外来劳工 what we call Spass holders in sg.
@@Fencingfish69 Thanks that made a lot more sense, much less degrading
@@randomdigress Even so, I think many are looked down upon from being from rural parts.
@@Margaret.F : You have to understand something, some of those urban areas, were actually belonging to families who made their money. And then the different "wars" had taken those money away from those families, and shoved into the "state's" pockets... It took me an awfully long time to figure out what is going on and why... And then, some of these so called "revolutions"... forced the situation to be chaos... and then changed the financial system... And unfairly distributed once again ! You can now find "mutual land funds" in MANY rural lands... i.e. The group of ex-farmers get a lot of money, even without working... And it comes from the central bank. Do you think this is also fair ???? Sorry... but some of the so called "poverty reduction", is to force the so called "ethnic tribes" to take on those CCP member's land or their companies... and force them to be their mortgage holders, or slaves to their companies or whatever...
I wonder how one feels when their own countrymen call them "nigger" and exclude them from universal rights.
wow 1 - The western culture is very apparent after seeing Wei Jia almost twice the weight of his father 11:20 wow 2 - rock and roll music originated in China 24:38
Still remember five years back when western media visited Ordos claiming it as a ghost city and spewing gloom of a looming property bubble crash
@Johan Van de voet : Not stupid. But think "animal farm".... Did you know that China has a sovereign fund too ?? I certainly did NOT know that !
太好了
The great wall is a very beautiful man made structure.
@@PennyMsElite What Trumps wall? The one he only fooled his voters with and never build? 😂
great series
It's very promising documentary 🙏🏿
I really love the guy singing his song,how awesome.👍😂😘😘😘
Nice :) Thank you
中国加油🇨🇳🌸❤️🙏🏻
Wrong map: Taiwan is an independent country, Arunachal Pradesh is India.
Taiwan is not an independent country. It is part of China. Where are the Embassies if it is recognized as an independent nation?
Also quick fact check, the USAs road network is larger than China'. China has way more expressways/freeways, but the overall road network of the USA is a fair bit larger
"There is something left by ancestors years ago" yes lots of bodies under those rocks.
Just dream on....
28:00 When it comes to teaching music, its difficult for students to grasp what's necessary when everyone's learning at a different pace. I'm confident when I say that it's easier, and faster, for someone to develop in a one on one basis. Not to mention, they'll probably end up with a vastly larger set of skills in that time. This is because, along with learning an instrument, there's also music theory, composition, ect. that the student needs to grasp. One thing I'm super proud of is to be able to say I've even taught adults to play guitar (yes, I can also play drums too/many other instr.) and in a relatively short amount of time had them progressing on their own. But something is better than nothing, even if it's not the preferred way.
so what's Singaporeans Dream?
Al jazeera is good too.
Chinese people need more healthy work culture! Better work life balance , no more 996!
I bet you if you ask them if they rather work 996 or do nothing and live like they did 10 years ago. I'm 100% sure they would choose 996.
I agree. Developed countries put more emphasis on work life balance. Here in the UK, we work too hard but other European countries have a 4 day week and much longer paid holidays. If China wants to be seen as developed, the government needs to improve worker’s conditions
What you criticise of their work culture is reminiscent of a rather intriguing line used by Americans when they ran out of talking points in the 1990s when accusing Japanese of unfair competition, Americans said to Japanese, "Japanese engineers and workers did not take as many days off to go on vacation as American engineers and workers, and it is a very unfair competition. The argument sounds like Japanese were engaged in unfair competition by working more days than Americans, though Japanese also take vacation and have weekends, only not as many days off as Americans. If Japanese engineers and workers really took that many days off as Americans to go on vacation, one would find it rather doubtful if Japan could have accomplished what she did.
China has 1.4 billion people to feed, and the government is working hard to make progress on that gradually. Things take time to get perfect. China is still developing, and that is why she is called a developing country.
Surprised to see Yijun here
TW is not part of CN == the map in the beginning ...
Xinjiang uygur by animal husbandry, melon and fruit grow cotton minimum annual income is $15800, the highest $100000, because the country of ethnic extra help, they are more than 70% of China's people are rich, they are relatively low price level in China, they can live very good, can travel everywhere, the child can set his mind at to go to university, So they don't need to be rescued by the US
OMG, that is so misleading, the techniques used now is the same as great wall 4.0 or the Mind great wall, the Great wall got its name from the 10 thousand li long wall, which was great wall 1.0 and the technique was not based on masonry. It's super sad that they're briefing you on the top layer and you made a conclusion without doing basic research...
From my understanding the first version of the wall comes from 嬴政 or 秦始皇 (Qin dynasty around 3rd century BC, after unifying “China”) and it was about 9 meters high and 4500km long, and it was made of compacted earth
#MyLineageMySoul never forget the hardships that moulded u in2 a weapon, a weapon who can change the course of mankind 🇨🇳 👏 👏
only those who graduate from tier one universites can work for the tech companies, finance, the government or high end research. there are ways to make money if you dont graduate from a top tier college, but if you want a key position or a position with power then you must have tier one. tier 2 college you can find good jobs but not the most prestigious. it also depends on your work experience. and connections.
Not necessary. Use money to go oversea and cheat the way to the top. Work for multinationals.
@@MrMannyhw no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Shouldn't they ban English words in Ads, and Caucasian models in commercial?
I like that social media celebrity
34:47 is that Bart Baker?
yh
Yup he sold his soul to China. He is now on Chinese social media making cringy pro-China anti-US contents.
I'm curious about Inner Mongolia
I have read the book of Peter
great video very interesting and educational information information but presentetor has a distracting big centre
冷暖人生cna版
can i get the summary of all episode? lol
None of the routes cover the whole coastal region.. 😅
Yep. Where did those money gone to ???
So what about the Xinjiang region of China. This documentary just completely ignores it?
I can name 50 more regions of China they didn't mention here. What's your point?
@@LaowaiDaveJCP Ummm, not every other region in China has detainment camps where certain groups are forcibly “re-educated” and the point of the documentary is to highlight the dreams of upward mobility and more for ALL Chinese. Good try though.
@@andrewdisher2086 yes because not everyone in China(not even every Uyghur) wants to jihad for Sharia law. Or you're gonna pretend like u didn't know that 🙄
@@LaowaiDaveJCP The fact is you are defending the jailing of not thousands, but MILLIONS, of members of a minority ethnic group and stripping them away from their families... because you believe they are planning on launching a jihad against the Chinese people? Looks like someone really drank the kool-aid.
There have been numerous reports of sterilization, sexual abuse, and other severe methods used to beat these people into submission. And you believe all 1.5 - 2 million of them were coordinating a jihad? Utter nonsense. You're just looking for a religion to hate.
3:41 she just walked straight into the forbidden area
Preserving ancient culture wearing Yeezy’s 8:18
lol
You can dream all you want. If it doesn't fit the party line, you're left with a nightmare.
Sterilizing the Native Americans for decade while stealing their land was a nightmare, it's the same all over, wounded knee massacre, Trail of tears after winning Cherokee V Georgia, Wampanoag from the thanks giving story being butchered. When you dig deep beyond the stories told, nightmares are all over. The great wall did not stop the drug smugglers of the British isles from poisoning our people for decades. It's just a wall, it doesn't work.
@@shanliu100 A few barbarians killed is nothing compared to 60 million dead in a man made famine, which was only a few decades ago
@@JuanPablo-lt3us did you get these numbers from the victims of communism memorial or the black book, who also count fallen Nazi soldiers and all corona deaths as victims of communism?
@@JoeMcKenzie888 No, 60 million is only from the famine caused by the great leap backwards, 60 million might be slightly generous, but it’s at least 30 million. The truth is nobody knows for sure.
Chinese dream is make money ,then immigrant to the USA
Without citing any evidence, what you stated could only represent your own wish. Nothing else.
Go to Canada instead, much better place
Boomer rock fans are going to cringe so hard at that school my god. Great documentary
Not that surprising that these kids think Rock originated from china...
which country does rockenroll come from ? from china ;D that made me laugh so hard but i dont no why ah i guess good education xD
Chinese scale!!! Not only consumer goods,also turn young people into products. Young artists, young athletes, retire young, too many compilation.
Trump saw the Great Wall of China a light bulb went off in his head he suddenly wanted to make the Great Wall of America. =O
👍👏👏👏
每个人多不种田，美国佬封闭中国不出口吃的或者中国有战争，粮食怎么办？
The host lady looks not quite understanding China, through she is from China.
You called them migrant workers, but in fact they are from the same country.
No, migrant workers mean, if you move from the rural areas (which you are registered as your heung ha), into the urban. You need permission or other. Same with urban city-folks, they cannot just farm in an urban city. Cos it is not allowed. This is not the English "migrant" or immigration.... It is part of the Chinese laws.. and the way the country is restructured. Some of the "rural" were actually a separate kind of Kingdom.... So mixing Kingdom... where there is no "rights" is probably not on the cards. Cos those who could move, was because they had their ancestors' money to move. Not the state's ! Now... the State has taken a LOT of money away from different areas, and has a sovereign fund as well..
I do not like some of the migrants' expectation... cos from zero no money, to a mortgage of like 300k !!!! If you read into the situation you will understand it all... Land is free to be farmed in China.
Thats because they are. They are not immigrant workers. That would mean they would be from another country. To migrate simply means : to move.
The countryside is the real China where most people live and most in the west never see, it's really poor and in some places they have to eat rats to even survive. While in the big cities they have more money than they really need for a good life, it's not fair in China depending on where you are born your life will be pre-determined already.
Whatever you believe. You could go there to collect your evidences. Nobody said China doesn't have poor people. The more important point is the government move to help them from proverty. That is it matter for the people
Horse shit ,my dad stayed a poor farmer but his older brother studied hard ,got into a university and moved to live and work in a big city , they are from the same family in a remote village.
The rural China has been under rapid development for some years now. A lot of villages are really modern and beautiful now. You need to open your eyes.
Nobody cares... As long as China economy surpass and exceeds US & West is enough. And please don't cry 😭 if that happens in future.
As of 2019 the urban population of china has reached 60percent, china has the population of 1.4 B making the urban population roughly 840 M but this number does not account for the true number of people residing in urban areas as 260 M of people make up the the migrant population moving into the cities accounting roughly 18 percent of China's population, leaving behind 300 M rural residence, it true there are still some living under poverty but who is to question how far and successful China has become
I thought china is a communist country.
lol its not, its just name of the party but its just another big capitalist country with some impacting social policies.
Www
I wonder why children she talked to are going after Western culture, is that important? Are these the Chinese dreams she wants to show ? ❓⁉️
Can't the Chinese like some aspect of American culture without wanting to become American? If you like Chinese food and movies, does that mean you would like to become Chinese?
20k years wasted :(
who is NOT happy in a socialist dictatorship?! there goes your social credit score, comrade. welcome to gulag :D
