By chance, I just found this channel. Thanks for your videos, Dr Guo. A friend of mine says that cgtn and some videos made by westerners working in China or visiting China are a good start to learn what China really is, his achievements, his rich culture, his people, and I agree. I note that a recent video from Global Times is about the same story of Li Hua. Interesting, moving story, indeed.

I lived in the US for over ten years, a lot of my conception of the west were also wrong. I find that the US is actually far more barbaric on a systemic level than is depicted through the propaganda. Individual Americans are usually fine, but their collective culture, systems, social mores and values are actually not really that good, moral or even useful.
Thank you for sharing your perspective. It’s true that living in a different country can challenge our preconceptions and provide a deeper understanding of its culture and society.

@@glimlachsmily2011 Every system has complexities, and some systems will incentivize a lot of crimes against humanity, genocides, immense suffering just to keep that system going for its beneficiaries.

Het is hartverwarmend om te zien hoe de de bruggenbouwers (zoals dr Guo hier) meemaken hoe mensen eindelijk de reis naar de andere oever beginnen te maken. De TikTok refugee crisis ontwaakt een vloed van mensen. Maar elke vloed begint met een kleine stroom water om de weg te banen. 'Dat he'j mooi doan' zoals we in Twente zeggen. Al die jaren werk waren niet voor niets!
Hartelijk dank voor uw mooie en hartverwarmende woorden! Ik ben inderdaad zeer blij om te zien hoe steeds meer mensen de brug naar elkaar beginnen te slaan. Ik ben ook blij dat ik hier een steentje aan bij heb mogen dragen. Sinds ik deze video plaatste op TH-cam heb ik veel hartverwarmende reacties ontvangen zoals die van u. Daar ben ik diep dankbaar voor. Als blijk van mijn waardering voor de steun heb ik een nieuwe video geplaatst, waarin ik een Chinees lied over vriendschap zong.

I have only one comment: you speak pretty impeccable English. I'm not very knowledgeable about the academic environment in the Netherlands (or Holland as we used to call it when I was growing up) but did you polish your spoken English in the Netherlands? Your pronunciations are as good as it could possibly get outside of the UK. I applaud you!
Thank you so much for your kind comment! Actually, I learned English in China and was already speaking it fluently (more or less like I do now) when I came to the Netherlands at the age of twenty. Like most children in China, I started learning English when I entered middle school at the age of twelve. English was my favourite subject in middle school, and I was very eager to learn it. In fact, I was so interested in English that after graduating from high school, I went on to study English at Beijing Foreign Studies University, one of the most prestigious universities in China with a focus on foreign languages. I was fortunate to have very good teachers (all of whom were Chinese, by the way) and talented fellow students at the university. As a result, my English improved significantly during my studies there. Your comment, along with the recent trend of learning Mandarin in the US and many other countries due to the Rednote discovery, has inspired me to make a video about my journey as a Chinese person learning English (and two other languages) and how learning these three languages completely changed my life. I hope this video will motivate international Mandarin learners to keep going and never give up, no matter how hard it may seem to master the language. I’m working on the script and hope to finish the video in one or two weeks. Since posting my video about Li Hua’s letter and my personal journey, I’ve been receiving many kind comments like yours. I’m really grateful for all the support. To express my thanks to everyone who supported my Li Hua’s letter video, I’ve just uploaded a new video where I sing a Chinese song about friendship.

I completely agree! The recent Rednote event really does feel historic. I’m glad to see more and more people recognising its significance. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
Very nice video!! I am from Australia and was an academic before I retired a few years back. I appreciate your effort of building cultural bridge between the Chinese and the West. I have a channel talking about Chinese philosophy and poetry. It is great to find a fellow oversea Chinese making similar effort!! Cheers!
Thank you Dr Gao so much for your kind words! It’s great to hear from someone with a background in academia who shares a similar passion for building bridges between cultures.

Thank you. I've been following a number of TH-camrs and other on Twitter to get other perspectives on China. I realise what is posted in western media is mostly propaganda. It's great to see the Red Note phenomena breaking through this propaganda. May it long continue! I plan to visit China, if not this year, then next year. Will join Red Note and start learning some basic Mandarin. Thanks for this video. Very beautiful and eloquently stated.
Thank you very much for taking the time to watch this video and leaving such a kind and thoughtful comment. It’s wonderful to hear that you’re exploring different perspectives on China and recognising the value of direct communication through platforms like Rednote. I couldn’t agree more-seeing these barriers of misunderstanding slowly breaking down is so encouraging. It’s fantastic that you’re planning to visit China! It’s such a diverse and fascinating country. I hope you’ll have an amazing experience. Learning some basic Mandarin will definitely add so much to your trip-it shows respect for the culture and helps you connect with locals. Speaking of learning Mandarin, since so many international users discovered Rednote, there's a growing interest in learning Mandarin in the US and many other countries. I wholeheartedly support this trend. On the other hand, as a native speaker of Mandarin, I do understand how difficult it can be for international learners to master this language, especially given the different tones and the thousands of Chinese characters. I'm afraid this may discourage some people from starting to learn Mandarin or giving up at certain point. That's why I'm working on my next video, in which I'll share my personal journey and explain how learning three foreign languages (English, Dutch and Korean) completely changed my life. I hope this will help Mandarin learners stay motivated and never give up. I'll be happy to let you know when this new video is posted.

If I was writing Li Hua a letter I would warn him not to be too vulnerable to Americans because they will break your heart. They come across very sweet and genuine but it's extremely dangerous to trust them. Those tears are self delusional and often hypocritical. Americans want to be liked but self interest is always first even if it's not in their best interest. A lot of POC have found out particular after the most recent election. Some POC were convinced the new government would treat them ethically while saying otherwise. The Chinese are brilliant people. Their country is ancient. Unfortunately many Americans really afford you very little respect and acknowledge no injustices on their part. Just be very careful about taking this outpouring at face value because this attitude is nothing like how they're treating people right here in this country even as citizens.
Thank you for sharing your perspective-I appreciate the time and thought you’ve put into your comment. I value the opportunity to hear different viewpoints. Wishing you all the best!

We cannot unsee what we have seen, XiaoHongShu welcoming the migration is so extraordinary, Thank You. I never watched tik tok, but the government said XHS was so dangerous but American social media is dangerous to my mental health. Do you have your videos on XHS?
Thank you for your thoughtful comment! You're absolutely right in saying that we cannot unsee what we have seen. It's indeed extraordinary and heartwarming how Chinese users have been so welcoming to international users on Xiaohongshu. As to my videos, I have posted them on TH-cam and TikTok, but not on Xiaohongshu. This is mainly because I have a very busy and demanding legal practise, which leaves me only very limited time to make and post content on social media. Posting on Xiaohongshu will require at least making bilingual subtitles and some other adjustments. Even with AI tools, it will likely still take more time that I can afford. I guess my content would probably contribute more to the intended goals on TH-cam and TikTok than on Xiaohongshu, since on Xiaohongshu there are already a lot of Chinese users sharing content about real life of Chinese people. Thank you once again for taking the time to watch my video and sharing your thoughts. I really appreciate your engagement with my content.
content creators usually measure their success in the views and subscribers they have. That doesnt really measure impact, and one cant really know that anyway, but maybe feel it sometimes. Im sure you have had and will have great impact on many that ripple through existence
Thank you so much for taking the time to watch my video and for leaving such a thoughtful and kind comment! I completely agree that the true impact of content goes beyond views and subscribers. Messages like yours genuinely motivate me to keep creating and sharing content that helps foster deeper connections between people inside and outside China. Your support truly means a lot to me. I hope to stay connected with you and others who value open and respectful connections across cultures.

Never believe that you are alone - there are many international friends standing next to you for the truth.

Glad to know that you’ve joined Rednote. I hope you’ll meet great friends on this platform. I also hope that you’ll soon visit China-it’s truly a special country that is worth exploring!
Dear Li Hua, I hope this letter finds you well. It has been far too long since you first reached out to me, and I owe you an apology for my silence. I want to express my gratitude for your patience as well as my regret for not responding to you sooner. I feel it is only fair to be honest with you. I was raised in a culture that often portrays China-and by extension, its people-as adversaries. This belief has shaped my understanding of the world in ways I didn’t even realize until recently. But now I’ve come to see that those ideas were not only untrue but also unfair. The more I’ve learned, the more I’ve come to understand that people everywhere share so much in common-our hopes, dreams, struggles, and the desire for connection. I deeply regret letting misconceptions stand in the way of what could have been a meaningful exchange between us. Your letters have reminded me that beyond politics and propaganda, there are individuals-real people with their own stories, thoughts, and kindness. It’s a privilege to finally write back to you, and I’d love to hear more about your life, your thoughts, and what inspires you. Thank you for your patience with me, Li Hua. I’m ready to listen and to learn, and I hope this is the start of a genuine friendship between us. Warm regards from your American penpal. Christina
Dear Christina, Thank you so much for sharing such a beautifully written and deeply meaningful reply to Li Hua. Your honesty and self-reflection truly moved me. It’s so inspiring to see how open-mindedness and a willingness to learn can lead to breaking down barriers and building genuine connections. Your words resonate deeply with the spirit of Li Hua’s letters, which remind us that beyond borders and misconceptions, we are all just people with shared hopes and dreams. It’s exchanges like this that give me hope for a more understanding and connected world. Thank you for being a part of this meaningful dialogue, Christina. I'm sure your reply to Li Hua will touch many hearts as much as it has touched mine. Warm regards, William

Thank you for your comment! As far as I know, Li Hua wrote the letters in English, as they are part of English exams, and has recently received replies from international friends-also in English. I hope this helps. Wishing you all the best!
Thanks for your comment! 😊 I can see how it might seem a bit surprising at first. In my understanding, the story of Li Hua's letters resonates with many people probably because it symbolizes a bridge between different cultures and the genuine connections we can form despite our differences. I think it’s that sense of shared humanity that really touches some viewers. It’s totally okay if it doesn’t move you in the same way, though-everyone interprets things differently! Thanks again for sharing your thoughts!
It's totally OK and understandable that you don't know why some people are touched by replies to Li Hua's letters. Actually, my wife (she's Korean) didn't understand why the girl was crying either.😁 Thanks for sharing your thoughts and wishing you all the best!
Thank you so much for all your kind comments and for the support! It really means a lot to me that you enjoyed the video enough to leave such positive feedback. Comments like yours truly motivate me to continue with my humble efforts. Wishing you all the best!
The deal is not yet done. There is a 90 days extension for a deal/ownership purchase to happen. Which isn't guaranteed yet. Basically if tiktok does not want to sell they can still shut down after 90 days.
Thank you for sharing your perspective. Emotions are a natural part of being human, and for many people, meaningful connections and acts of kindness can be deeply moving. My video aims to highlight how small gestures can have a big impact in bringing people from different cultures closer together. Wishing you all the best.
Thank you for watching my video. I believe that mutual respect and understanding are key to meaningful conversations. My goal with this channel is to share experiences and perspectives that connect people across cultures. Wishing you all the best.
I believe it's important to approach others with kindness and understanding. Comments like these only create division, and I hope we can focus on promoting positive and respectful conversations. I appreciate the opportunity to share my perspective, and I encourage open dialogue built on mutual respect.
I saw the Americans sending messages back and I teared up. So sweet. Thank you China for hosting us.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts! It’s truly moving to see how heartfelt messages can create such strong connections between people from different cultures. I’m glad you found the story so touching. Thank you for your kind words about the hospitality of the Chinese people.

By chance, I just found this channel. Thanks for your videos, Dr Guo.
A friend of mine says that cgtn and some videos made by westerners working in China or visiting China are a good start to learn what China really is, his achievements, his rich culture, his people, and I agree.
I note that a recent video from Global Times is about the same story of Li Hua.
Interesting, moving story, indeed.

I lived in the US for over ten years, a lot of my conception of the west were also wrong. I find that the US is actually far more barbaric on a systemic level than is depicted through the propaganda. Individual Americans are usually fine, but their collective culture, systems, social mores and values are actually not really that good, moral or even useful.
I grew up in US and these words come to mind: aggressive, obnoxious, boldly arrogant
@@peanut0brain 个人主义是极至的自私. 美国政府的丑恶历史, 不正当地(却被宣传成正义), 杀了多少人, 犯下了多少反人类罪行, 以及投送了多少违反国际法的武器的时候(注明一下, 这些国际法都是西方主导下建立的).
美国人民与社会,美国"文化" 与美国政府的确是不同概念. 美国人可能有一个错觉 .没有认识到政府才是一个国家形象根本上的代表.
当然,, 大多数美国人终生不会知道他们的政府在全世界如何邪恶与凶残. 如同教父的儿子眼中有一个可爱又尽责的父亲.这关乎个体的欲望与满足, 这是存在的意义.
如果我说, 美国总统是世界层面的独裁者的话, 美国人肯定不会同意. 这是独裁吗?不用怀疑. 这其实是最极至, 最可恶, 最卑鄙的大独裁者. 因为联合国对于美国总统来说就是一个PARTY. 只要美国作为担保, 以色列杀光所有巴勒斯坦人, 以色列政权的所有人与美国政府, 都不会承担任何惩罚.
如我上面提到的自私, 加上畏强 是人类的两大弱点. 大多数人不会承认自己如何差, 更无法也没有意愿去挖掘自国家的真实一面.
你在美国长大?就是说你来自美国以外的国家?如果你来自华人地区, 先放下你的成见. 说出真相是任何人的责任.你的所谓咄咄逼人是指关乎真相的事实陈述, 还是厌恶他语言中的逻辑态度与他本人? 你知道客观吗. 客观的事实,不因陈述人态度与人而改变. 就象1+1=2. 不会因为老师讲得太差,或者老师不可爱, 事实就不存在.
哦, 事实让你生厌.....那么你表达了什么?发泄出你的情绪...
西方世界是由传媒构建的基于谎言的帝国.
我会加上一说, 美西方不是最近反华, 从新中国成立第一天起, 中国就成为美西方极力渲染的对象(当然也有其它所有国家, 美国非常勤奋)
西方传媒从书籍, 影视,文化研究, 历史考古等等非常多的方面, 为中国量身定制了无限的STUFF. 这样的材料项目至少有100万件. 仅仅影视材料就是几十万.
而这些作品,几乎都是精心的构造, 充斥着谎言, 偏见, 倒果为因, 误导...用两个词来形容:恶意与邪恶. 而这些议程下的作为,是美国政府的常态.
盎撒与以色列犹太是至今世界上最可恶的纳粹政府. 这几个政府没有文明的表现, 他们只是从原始向野蛮退化.
人类两大弱点的自私与畏强. 加一句正义的定义, 强大不是正义, 繁荣不是正义, 胜利(历史阶段)不是正义.
这可以解答, 经常有人问: 那里如何好, 为什么有人要到美国. 还有美国与西方全方位封锁,制裁朝鲜与古巴是十足的邪恶.
不要以为美国可以这么做,所以他就被正当化. 没有美国的全方位封锁与制裁(侵犯与剥夺这些国家人民的发展权,生存权), 这些国家将完全不一样.
美国政权的垃圾与弱智不要再重复什么中国占美国便宜了, 中美之间是利益交换., 美国得到了他能得到的. 中国也充分利用自身, 尽量得到中国想要的.
如果弱智们不懂的话, 就去档案室查查, 中美交易, 美国得到哪些, 以及美国政府又是如何支出的. 如果说美国最近40年失败了.
那么美国与中国贸易是唯一的成功(营收).相对的, 美国在其它任何层面与其它地区国家都失败了(得不偿失).
美国应该感谢中国, 如果没有中美贸易,美国的新工业与金融的发展不会如此快速, 顺利与强大. 能不能形成也是一个问号.
I have found an individual American can most times be a nice interesting person but as soon as they form a group of two or three they become obnoxious
Thank you for sharing your perspective. It’s true that living in a different country can challenge our preconceptions and provide a deeper understanding of its culture and society.

@@glimlachsmily2011 Every system has complexities, and some systems will incentivize a lot of crimes against humanity, genocides, immense suffering just to keep that system going for its beneficiaries. That system is the Us led world order.

Thank you so much for taking the time to watch the video and for leaving such a kind comment! I really appreciate your support.
I have only one comment: you speak pretty impeccable English.
I'm not very knowledgeable about the academic environment in the Netherlands (or Holland as we used to call it when I was growing up) but did you polish your spoken English in the Netherlands? Your pronunciations are as good as it could possibly get outside of the UK. I applaud you!
Thank you so much for your kind comment! Actually, I learned English in China and was already speaking it fluently (more or less like I do now) when I came to the Netherlands at the age of twenty. Like most children in China, I started learning English when I entered middle school at the age of twelve. English was my favourite subject in middle school, and I was very eager to learn it. In fact, I was so interested in English that after graduating from high school, I went on to study English at Beijing Foreign Studies University, one of the most prestigious universities in China with a focus on foreign languages. I was fortunate to have very good teachers (all of whom were Chinese, by the way) and talented fellow students at the university. As a result, my English improved significantly during my studies there.
Your comment, along with the recent trend of learning Mandarin in the US and many other countries due to the Rednote discovery, has inspired me to make a video about my journey as a Chinese person learning English (and two other languages) and how learning these three languages completely changed my life. I hope this video will motivate international Mandarin learners to keep going and never give up, no matter how hard it may seem to master the language. I’m working on the script and hope to finish the video in one or two weeks.

I do cherish this moment and see the recent red note event as of historic significance.
I completely agree! The recent Rednote event really does feel historic. I’m glad to see more and more people recognising its significance. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
Very nice video!! I am from Australia and was an academic before I retired a few years back. I appreciate your effort of building cultural bridge between the Chinese and the West. I have a channel talking about Chinese philosophy and poetry. It is great to find a fellow oversea Chinese making similar effort!! Cheers!

Thank you. I've been following a number of TH-camrs and other on Twitter to get other perspectives on China. I realise what is posted in western media is mostly propaganda. It's great to see the Red Note phenomena breaking through this propaganda. May it long continue!
I plan to visit China, if not this year, then next year. Will join Red Note and start learning some basic Mandarin.
Thanks for this video. Very beautiful and eloquently stated.
Thank you very much for taking the time to watch this video and leaving such a kind and thoughtful comment. It’s wonderful to hear that you’re exploring different perspectives on China and recognising the value of direct communication through platforms like Rednote. I couldn’t agree more-seeing these barriers of misunderstanding slowly breaking down is so encouraging.
It’s fantastic that you’re planning to visit China! It’s such a diverse and fascinating country. I hope you’ll have an amazing experience. Learning some basic Mandarin will definitely add so much to your trip-it shows respect for the culture and helps you connect with locals.
Speaking of learning Mandarin, since so many international users discovered Rednote, there's a growing interest in learning Mandarin in the US and many other countries. I wholeheartedly support this trend.
On the other hand, as a native speaker of Mandarin, I do understand how difficult it can be for international learners to master this language, especially given the different tones and the thousands of Chinese characters. I'm afraid this may discourage some people from starting to learn Mandarin or giving up at certain point. That's why I'm working on my next video, in which I'll share my personal journey and explain how learning three foreign languages (English, Dutch and Korean) completely changed my life. I hope this will help Mandarin learners stay motivated and never give up. I'll be happy to let you know when this new video is posted.
In the meantime I've uploaded a video where I sing a Chinese song about friendship to express my heartfelt thanks to all the viewers who supported my video about Li Hua’s letters.

致所有的“李华
”
当你看到这封信的时候,我已经许多年没有写过你的名字了,我忙于升学、考研、考公和无休无止的工作,早已忘记了那些用蹩脚英文写下,自以为石沉大海的信件。
岁月流转,或许我们都忘了,抛开资本家的政治游戏,你、我、她、他,都只是一群终其一生追寻着名为"幸福"的普通人。我停下匆忙前进的脚步,回过头,发现你一直在我身后。我脑海中忽然闪过一句话：“我的青春回头望了我一眼”。不同的是,这次,是我回头望了一眼我的青春。
我庆幸我曾有幸短暂的成为过你。无数回忆涌入我的脑海,回忆起我用笨拙的英文为你的朋友介绍着美丽的首都,宏伟的长城,秀丽的山川,热闹的春节,各异的美食...每一封的落笔都是你的名字,我写过数不胜数的信,却从来没有收到过一封。
亲爱的李华,这或许是我人生中最后一次写下你的名字,我的笔放下了。可未来,会有千千万万个我拿起笔。几天后,新年的钟声就要敲响,我向你告别一笑,恍像间发现,原来你早已敲响了世界的钟声。是我一直忽视了,陪我寒窗苦读的,除了朋友、父母、老师之外,还有你。
再见了,亲爱的李华。
所有曾经成为过李华的孩子们
谢谢您分享这封信，勾起了我的无限回忆，让我深深感动......

"Letter from Li Hua" sounds like a song title.

If I was writing Li Hua a letter I would warn him not to be too vulnerable to Americans because they will break your heart. They come across very sweet and genuine but it's extremely dangerous to trust them. Those tears are self delusional and often
hypocritical.
Americans want to be liked but self interest is always first even if it's not in their best interest.
A lot of POC have found out particular after the most recent election. Some POC were convinced the new government would treat them ethically while saying otherwise.
The Chinese are brilliant people. Their country is ancient. Unfortunately many Americans really afford you very little respect and acknowledge no injustices on their part.
Just be very careful about taking this outpouring at face value because this attitude is nothing like how they're treating people right here in this country even as citizens.
Thank you for sharing your perspective-I appreciate the time and thought you’ve put into your comment. I value the opportunity to hear different viewpoints. Wishing you all the best!

Who would've thought by migrating to chinese app, Americans really learnt the truth about their own government..
And can be such an eye-opening experience in soooo many spectrums for them..😂
Thank you for your comment! It’s fascinating how technology and social media platforms can provide new perspectives and insights that people might not have considered before. The exchange of information across cultures can indeed be eye-opening in many ways.

We cannot unsee what we have seen, XiaoHongShu welcoming the migration is so extraordinary, Thank You. I never watched tik tok, but the government said XHS was so dangerous but American social media is dangerous to my mental health. Do you have your videos on XHS?
Thank you for your thoughtful comment! You're absolutely right in saying that we cannot unsee what we have seen. It's indeed extraordinary and heartwarming how Chinese users have been so welcoming to international users on Xiaohongshu.
As to my videos, I have posted them on TH-cam and TikTok, but not on Xiaohongshu. This is mainly because I have a very busy and demanding legal practise, which leaves me only very limited time to make and post content on social media. Posting on Xiaohongshu will require at least making bilingual subtitles and some other adjustments. Even with AI tools, it will likely still take more time that I can afford. I guess my content would probably contribute more to the intended goals on TH-cam and TikTok than on Xiaohongshu, since on Xiaohongshu there are already a lot of Chinese users sharing content about real life of Chinese people.
Thank you once again for taking the time to watch my video and sharing your thoughts. I really appreciate your engagement with my content.
content creators usually measure their success in the views and subscribers they have. That doesnt really measure impact, and one cant really know that anyway, but maybe feel it sometimes. Im sure you have had and will have great impact on many that ripple through existence
Thank you so much for taking the time to watch my video and for leaving such a thoughtful and kind comment! I completely agree that the true impact of content goes beyond views and subscribers. Messages like yours genuinely motivate me to keep creating and sharing content that helps foster deeper connections between people inside and outside China. Your support truly means a lot to me.
I hope to stay connected with you and others who value open and respectful connections across cultures. While our impact as individuals may be limited, I firmly believe that by coming together as a community, we can achieve so much more - contributing to a world with greater kindness, understanding and friendship.

Dr.Guo, there are many other video loggers from other countries also fighting the good fight as you have been - for example, Andy Boreham (Reports on China) is a New Zealander who has been trying to bring the West and the East together for peace. Never believe that you are alone - there are many international friends standing next to you for the truth.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful comment! It’s really encouraging to hear that there are many others, like Andy Boreham, who are also working towards building bridges between the East and the West. It’s inspiring to know we’re not alone in this effort, and together we can contribute to fostering greater understanding. I’m truly grateful for your support.

GREAT WORK, MY FRIEND. I AM RED NOTE: I CAN GET NEW CHINESE FRIENDS, D AND I WANT TO LEARN MANDARIN AND VISIT YOUR GREAT LAND.
Glad to know that you’ve joined Rednote. I hope you’ll meet great friends on this platform. I also hope that you’ll soon visit China-it’s truly a special country that is worth exploring!
Dear Li Hua,
I hope this letter finds you well. It has been far too long since you first reached out to me, and I owe you an apology for my silence. I want to express my gratitude for your patience as well as my regret for not responding to you sooner.
I feel it is only fair to be honest with you. I was raised in a culture that often portrays China-and by extension, its people-as adversaries. This belief has shaped my understanding of the world in ways I didn’t even realize until recently. But now I’ve come to see that those ideas were not only untrue but also unfair.
The more I’ve learned, the more I’ve come to understand that people everywhere share so much in common-our hopes, dreams, struggles, and the desire for connection. I deeply regret letting misconceptions stand in the way of what could have been a meaningful exchange between us.
Your letters have reminded me that beyond politics and propaganda, there are individuals-real people with their own stories, thoughts, and kindness. It’s a privilege to finally write back to you, and I’d love to hear more about your life, your thoughts, and what inspires you.
Thank you for your patience with me, Li Hua. I’m ready to listen and to learn, and I hope this is the start of a genuine friendship between us.
Warm regards from your American penpal.
Christina
Dear Christina,
Thank you so much for sharing such a beautifully written and deeply meaningful reply to Li Hua. Your honesty and self-reflection truly moved me. It’s so inspiring to see how open-mindedness and a willingness to learn can lead to breaking down barriers and building genuine connections.
Your words resonate deeply with the spirit of Li Hua’s letters, which remind us that beyond borders and misconceptions, we are all just people with shared hopes and dreams. It’s exchanges like this that give me hope for a more understanding and connected world.
Thank you for being a part of this meaningful dialogue, Christina. I'm sure your reply to Li Hua will touch many hearts as much as it has touched mine.
Warm regards,
William
@@glimlachsmily2011 @ thank you, William. This is the letter I posted on Xiaohongshu two days ago both in English and simplified Chinese. The beautiful responses I’ve been getting from my new Chinese friends bring me to tears.
It's very kind of you to post this letter on Xiaohongshu, especially with Chinese translation❤️ I hope you'll make a lot of friends on Xiaohongshu and have a great experience there. Wishing you all the best!
Asking the Chinese here Will you really start a war over Taiwan or SCS?
Of course no
@@xufenghuang Good to hear
Thank you for taking the time to watch the video and sharing your thought!
@@glimlachsmily2011 pleasure
Pls can someone translate the Li Hua Chinese letter to English so that English speaking can understand what is written other than puzzles here n thereTq
Thank you for your comment! As far as I know, Li Hua wrote the letters in English, as they are part of English exams, and has recently received replies from international friends-also in English. I hope this helps. Wishing you all the best!
I still don’t get t
Why ppl moved that much by li Hua ?😂
Thanks for your comment! 😊 I can see how it might seem a bit surprising at first. In my understanding, the story of Li Hua's letters resonates with many people probably because it symbolizes a bridge between different cultures and the genuine connections we can form despite our differences. I think it’s that sense of shared humanity that really touches some viewers.
It’s totally okay if it doesn’t move you in the same way, though-everyone interprets things differently! Thanks again for sharing your thoughts!
The bridge is there, walled up by the CCP.@@glimlachsmily2011
Me too. I also don't know why. I watched the girl crying and I'm like 一头雾水. 😁😁😁 Maybe I'm not from China. So, I couldn't feel how they feel.
It's totally OK and understandable that you don't know why some people are touched by replies to Li Hua's letters. Actually, my wife (she's Korean) didn't understand why the girl was crying either.😁 Thanks for sharing your thoughts and wishing you all the best!
I’m just unable to give this video more than one thumbs up
Thank you so much for all your kind comments and for the support! It really means a lot to me that you enjoyed the video enough to leave such positive feedback. Comments like yours truly motivate me to continue with my humble efforts. Wishing you all the best!
@@glimlachsmily2011 you have all my deep respect, from a fellow citizen of China also living overseas.
With the reinstated tiktok the opportunity of bringing Americans and Chinese people together is lost.
A lot of Americans are choosing to stay on XHS, not everyone is gullible enough to fall for the American president’s ploy
The deal is not yet done. There is a 90 days extension for a deal/ownership purchase to happen. Which isn't guaranteed yet. Basically if tiktok does not want to sell they can still shut down after 90 days.
I hope you guys can understand why if China doesn’t want to sell ….
@@JC.72 I hope TikTok doesn't sell out to anyone and simply shuts down.
@ TikTok never brought American and Chinese people together. That's what Red Note is doing now, though.
Gosh. so soppy.
Thanks for watching! I understand that everyone has their own perspective. Thank you for sharing your view.
Sorry but if she is crying over trivial matters then she is not ready for the real world.
Thank you for sharing your perspective. Emotions are a natural part of being human, and for many people, meaningful connections and acts of kindness can be deeply moving. My video aims to highlight how small gestures can have a big impact in bringing people from different cultures closer together. Wishing you all the best.
But you’re gay. As a lawyer, man up
Thank you for watching my video. I believe that mutual respect and understanding are key to meaningful conversations. My goal with this channel is to share experiences and perspectives that connect people across cultures. Wishing you all the best.
@ it’s constructive criticism. It seems a bit too obvious you put make up on.

Shame on you, troll!
Lol .... A coward which hides behind anonymity ... And a bigger one which abuses the picture of Albert Einstein .... Anymore ?
Rude
Typical indians
I believe it's important to approach others with kindness and understanding. Comments like these only create division, and I hope we can focus on promoting positive and respectful conversations. I appreciate the opportunity to share my perspective, and I encourage open dialogue built on mutual respect.
