Unfortunately, she wont show real china even if she wants to. She has a businessman father and she is a white people in China. These two things decide that she will never get how ordinary chinese person feel when living in this country right now. There are so many special treatment by china goverment to those foreigner, in terms of investing, education, job opportunity and so on, to make china feel good In the eyes of foreigner especially westerner.
Your parents did a great job raising you - you are so mature and intelligent. The fact that your dad works in China tells me he is already very successful and focused on the long term. China is the creator and blueprint for the future.
Wow, it's so refreshing and kind of rare nowadays to see an american teen interested in something different than TikTok and Sephora. You're actaully interested in exploring the world, learning new languages and reading books, girl you're a true gem, pretty outside and inside, keep on shining, you have a beautiful future ahead! By the way, I just subscribed to your channel, I'm excited to see you showing the world the real China, the peaceful, safe, clean, futuristic with amazing infrastructure and welcoming people China, very different from the antichina lies you see on westen media. Enjoy that amazing country, you're living now in one of the coolest countries in the world, lucky you, many of us wish we could! 💕
These kind of videos in China and or other countries that paints differently (negatively) in the US and West really do helps people to open their eyes and see that there's a world out there that isn't really what you they've been told which helps create positivity one at a time. Appreciate these open minded videos
Haha. Unfortunately, china is actually in hell right now. More than 20% unemployment rate, real estate collapse, fertility rate even lower than europe, severe deflation, ever-worsening authoritarian political environment. I am glad I moved out of china to USA 1 year ago.
I'm from California, too. Well, originally from Texas, but I grew up in Southern California since I was 3 years old. I've never lived in another country before, but my dad does work for United Airlines, so I've been to many places all over the world. It's a whole different experience living in another country, I would imagine. I think it's a great thing, it gives you a better perspective on life.
Your video popped up in my TH-cam feed, signaling that your channel is gaining popularity. I've been hooked, binge-watching all your content-your editing skills are top-notch and the style is so fresh. Maybe you could lend a hand to your dad with his videos too!
As a much older viewer , I hope you enjoy your experience in China. It's going to be different and there might be things that you might not be used to but this experience you make you way ahead of your peers back home. Your view on things will be so different and your mind so open.... Your parents are smart .
Don't worry about school; you only need to work a little harder than your peers and you will soon catch up. Education is very important, which you have already known.
Hi dear Sophia, your videos are so lovely to watch and enjoy, making me super relaxed and chill, keep it up and share ur thoughts and feeling, you r reall an artist to creat this kind of documentation with ur special sparks of inspiration. Thank u for sharing and just love it:D xx
Ahh you got me missing my time in ShangHai just now. I hope you fully explores and soak up the culture and history of the city~ make wonderful memories and stories along your journey there ~ best of luck to you Sophia!
Hey Sophia, I really like your video. It's so refreshing to see through your eyes a unique perspective of Shanghai. There will be ups and downs but I believe you will get through and become stronger. Hope you can also someday do an intro to my hometown, Wuxi, which is nearby from Shanghai.
Try documenting a day in your life as a school going person; starting from getting ready in the morning, getting to school, what or how your school looks like etc (not sure if they will allow this), after school, evening and heading to bed. Have fun with your new life in SH, and the fastest way for me when I started learning Chinese, was to practice speaking it, even if you make a mistake. Watch some TV series with Eng subs to follow along, maybe some anime to start with.
As a teacher had taught me the amount of time spend on writing, spend the same amount of time in speaking. The reason why some Chinese would come up to a foreigner because they want to practice English speaking to get comfortable with the language. More often they are very good with writing but lack in speaking.

Interview what they like to do same with other foreigners students. School sports and activities. Through college 😊 Is it also true religion is age limit. You must be over 18 to practice religion.
How are you doing with the tones in Mandarin? For American, there’s two tips I have. Just remember that tone #2 sounds like there’s a question mark right after the word. Tone #4 sounds like there’s an exclamation point attached to the word.
The listening and speaking parts of Chinese are very easy and simple, without the complex tenses and other issues in English. As for the writing part, take your time, it's not urgent.
You want to be a jack of all trades... Don't know if you are a Sacramento Kings fan, but congrats anyway since they are in your hometown and beats the Warriors in the play-in tournament.
Hey Sophia, I’m an old fart from Vancouver BC. 2 pieces of advices for you, first thing, don’t spend too much time on introducing yourself….try introduce China as a foreigner thru your eye, it could be the cultural differences between the west and the east! Good and bad, figure out what your subscribers genre, second, learn Chinese, you will thank me someday, keep up the good work, have a happy life in China.

I thinks short travel to neighbouring cities might be a good start. Like suzhou and hangzhou.
Sacramento is definitely a small town compared to cities in China lol. If you ever miss the beaches in SoCal you should travel to Hainan!
Very mature and brave.
good video，love from china
Like the background music. Onward & upward.
I am sure that, just by getting out of the US and now living in Shanghai, you've already become wiser!!

You like recording you can start with the after midnight challenge.
Homeless challenge, show us how high-school life is in mainland China. Chinese students social life.
Interview what they like to do same with other foreigners students.
School sports and activities. Through college 😊
Is it also true religion is age limit. You must be over 18 to practice religion.
法律没有规定未成年不能信教，但是，任何组织和个人不得强迫、诱使学生信仰宗教，不能在非宗教场所宣传宗教。
Most chinese don't believe religion. We believe human power.
