- Long live the Soviet Union! Don't do drugs! And other lessons from a tiny city in Sichuan Province.
➡️ If you're new here: hi, I'm Katherine from the United States 🇺🇸 I've been living in China 🇨🇳 for 5 years and after having graduating from my masters program in environmental engineering at Nanjing University, I am now working at an environmental organization called Green Zhejiang. I also run this video channel on the side to share interesting experiences and stories, especially focusing on rural / small town life. Some videos you may find interesting:

This video was filmed with a combination of 2 different cameras, GoPro Hero 11 (selfie/widescreen shots) and Sony ZV1 (pretty much everything else)
GOPRO: amzn.to/45rObZy
This camera is the secret to how I get such stable footage even while biking and walking 🚴♀️ She's waterproof, shoots in 4K, and is very tiny and portable as well as extremely easy to use
SONY: amzn.to/3RybfiU
This camera is my B-roll queen, she nails the perfect lighting and focus to get beautiful shots to bring my videos to the next level 📷

That man was stuck in the 1950s. The relationship between the Soviet Union and China from the 60s to the 90s was actually not good.
The period of friendship between the United States and China was also the period of confrontation between the Soviet Union and China from the 70s to the 90s.
Many older Chinese men in small cities have low education levels or do not understand history, so their ideas are still stuck in the 50s.
But U.S. government is indeed too violent and has a very poor international image. The U.S. system and police are also very violent. Gun violence and violent street culture are very serious.
Trump was almost shot a few days ago
The American Golden Age was 1994-2005 It is also the representative era of the American Dream.
把生活和旅行拍出了诗意和美感，相信你是一个善良有爱的人

絕對是, 希望她在各方面都好好保護自己。
I love to hear your voice when u speak in putonghua : no high or low pitch, just flat, very sweet. I think this man is referring to the American politicians, not the general Americans. This not only happens in C H I N A , but also by most overseas Chinese. I hope u don’t feel hurt. ❤ from Malaysia
Katherine voice is a boring person...if she tell me stories during afternoon, I will snore halfway through her story.
Yes, She is the most impessive speaker of the language of non Chinese origin. Next would be Amy Lyons from Blondie in China. Chinese blogger's 娜塔莎一家 Russian wife from Kazakhstan mandarin is equally impeccable.
@@truthful3777 so let us hear your beautiful and impeccable voice shall we? Promise that we won't puke.
@@cashmerecat9269 Honestly a lot of people ask me to page in the PA system because I have good voice. My teacher also force me to join in English school debatr team ...I am not joking.
Her pronunciation of Mandarin is near perfect. Of course, it doesn’t sound anything like the Chinese spoken in Malaysia.
Don't take it personally. I think the old guy was talking about the state-to-state relationship rather than person-to-person relationship. Everyone knows there are good guys and bad guys in any country.
很明显大部分美国人是反华的。
@@daydaystudydaydayup That may be true but you should also know that Americans who visit or are living in China are likely 99.99% not anti-China.
@@daydaystudydaydayup Those who are anti-China will not want to set foot in China.
@@s.vortex是的，“阳离子”是少数的。
Is it only Americans that say good guys and bad guys, it sounds so childish lol.
Mark Twain wrote,"Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime."
When the guy said he did not like American, obviously not included you, I can tell from his face. Love from Hong Kong!
年轻人大多喜欢美国人，我们也看很多美国电影

We have a gestures reader here. That old man hates Americans and let's leave it at that. Nobody cares in the West and in the USA.
我看看，香港有多爱，前几年暴乱几个月，还是一国两制救了那些暴乱份子，在内地早就枪毙了，第一香港人歧视内地人，毫无疑问，目前的香港已经拉垮。如果海南封关，完美闭环，经济就会超过香港，澳门有博彩，如果台湾是被武统，国家统一管理，就会成为北上广台，国家一直在提拔香港，结果还是差劲，除了金融圈，就没啥了，贸易有地方替代的，所以不要天天说来着哪里的爱了，
Your interactions with the people you come across are the best.
I haven't seen any grandma's trying to hook you up with their grandsons lately?
You should up your game 😉
It's so fascinating to see my hometown which I haven't been back to for 10 years on TH-cam. Especially the marketplace at 4:48, it looks the same as I remember. Thank you very much for taking me on such a tour, Katherine~~~
Loved this one thanks. I have been to some parts of Sichuan. Everywhere I went I was usually the only foreigner I saw when I went for a stroll. Many friendly people approached me but sad to say my Chinese was not up to the task. It didn't usually matter as a lot of people wanted to practice their English on me anyway. In my 6 weeks of travel I never met any one who was the slightest bit unfriendly. Xichang seems an almost idyllic place to live. I assume you visited as it is a Green City Case Study. Sounds even better when you know that. Beautiful.
Wow! That water sideview with the sun is absolutely gorgeous!

@@hejay1245 Personally, I prefer the day time but I do agree, with the moon up the lake looks good too.
大爺很有趣，他雖然不喜歡美國，但他不討厭妳，所以才願意跟妳說。
How do you say "that's a funny way of showing it" In Mandarin?
@@glowndark1 “哦，你是这样表达喜欢的啊，了解了。“
为什么大爷不喜欢美国人？美国到处挑起战争，支持以色列对巴勒斯坦人种族灭绝，卖武器给台湾以便反抗大陆。
@@maxyang7919無禮至極 還當寶 見面三分情一點素養也沒
其实没有必要这么多人出来帮那位大爷解释。每一个人都有表达自己的想法的权利。在这个博主的国度在疫情初期以及至今多少针对华人尤其是妇女和老人的攻击。没有一个媒体以及个人出来说一句公道话。她要庆幸自己生活在中国可以漫山遍野，穿村庄进社区自由行
这是我魂牵梦绕的家乡。
Thanks for creating and sharing this beautiful video clip. Take care brave beautiful gal. All the best. Cheers!🍻
评论区的中国人们，我知道很多人都是博主的粉丝，但别再讨好式的解释了。每个人都有自己的喜好，老人家只是正常表达自己的喜好，并没有冒犯的举动。我看评论区讨好式的解释让我觉得很不以为然，感觉好像老人家做了什么天怒人怨的事一般😂😂😂当然凯瑟琳更没有做错，所以不用刻意去解释了。😅😅
这家伙想说的是将所有仇敌都指向中国政府。因为他被洗脑了。
哈哈哈哈墙民😂

You're a good ambassador, Katherine. Really good videos from China, too. Double ambassador!
Kat is a far better ambassador than the official ones.
Yes unlike the official one
The young girl you encountered during your evening stroll replied to you, “I don’t wear make-up either because I can’t afford it.” How innocent she was!
The profit of cosmetics is toooooooooo high!😮💨
She actually said it was too expensive. That's different. Many things I can afford but don't buy because they're too expensive. Chinese ppl are savers. So am I tho I'm not chinese. Warren Buffet famously once declined to buy a bag of nuts because they were "too expensive".
Some cheap costumes are affordable for her family, but most parents prefer their children to focus on studying rather than wearing makeup. Parents often say they can't afford things when they don't want to buy them.
😂😂 You obviously don't know Chinese culture. That is the standard polite response. 😂
西昌光邛海風光就算得上是美麗的城市，坐車往西就是瀘沽湖，再往西南就是歪國人常去和嚮往的雲南麗江，然後附近就是虎跳峽和香格里拉，以及附近一大堆景點，這路線一路玩個20天也沒問題。
Thx for another video of interactions on the streets in China. Love your vibe, as always, and fascination over little things. :)
Great video as always! I feel like I’ve seen many parts of China because of your channel. Keep up the good woek
Thumbs up for the Xichang video - most TH-camrs show us Chongqing and Chengdu in Sichuan. But this "tiny" city is just so alive and worth to visit. :)
Actually, there are videos about rural Sichuan but they are in Mandarian.
Thank you for showing China to the world.
Thanks for taking the time from your busy schedule to show us the morning and night in XiChang! ❤
Very nice city, not so big but lively and historical! This area is really amazing! I think that this "little city" is really a great surprise!! Thank you for this beautiful video🍀🪻🌻
苏联就是一个名字，很多老人习惯了还在用。俄国人叫中国为“契丹”，契丹国八百年前就没了
邛海非常的美，可以在那儿呆好几天，看海发呆。但是西昌的好吃的又多，土豆特别好吃。
景拍的好好
Love these videos! Thank you so much! 😊
You didn't have a bike this time. Oh well, it is nice to walk around a place.
As for the old guy, I wonder if he's been listening to the Beatles "Back In The USSR" too many time!
最喜欢阳离子和当地人的对话，越意外越有趣。
这个地方不错哦。
一開始的音樂很好聽，有1960-70年代感
the chinese people are kind and will not bear ill will to you just because you are an American
Some are kind and some are not like the old man said he hates Americans and Americans are the worst.
Your travels show us that the various regions of China are not all the same. One has to go there to see the differences. You certainly opened your viewers' eyes! Thank you for taking us with you.
What a nice whirlwind tour of this place. That guy may not be the best person you came across there but getting to appear on the video thumbnail ain’t easy! :D
Oh, and your house tour interview on New China TV was fun.👍
China is a beautiful country with long history with many old town no one ever heard of I been traveling to china from the US on business every yr since the 90 so much to see and explore.
How do you feel about the way the US and their allies treat China?
*阳离子随时都元气满满。* 😁😁
Goodmorning Katherin. As always I love waking up to a new video. Is always a good start to my day. God Bless you Sweet Lady.
Good morning, glad you like the videos!
Great one Katherine.nice to walk at night in the warmth.looks lovely..enjoy.x
Gorgeous moves at 6:10. I love dancing and I dance ballet to break dancing and everything in between. Love how she picked her spot . Underneath a very sturdy support system of art.What a contrast of beauty and strength. She must of known Katherine was going to come and film her.
I believe she's practicing Taichi. Many people play Taichi everyday in China to help them physically and mentally.
Another great video, very enjoy it. Thank you.
Katherine, it's great to show us these other chinese cities!
Thanks for sharing your experience
You are brave!!!
Saw u on xinhua news.
That means u r accepted officially.
Well done.
Any TH-camrs sing praises of China may appear on the Chinese news? All the little pinks also love it. I would do the same too if I reside in China but I left a long time ago.
California Governor Newsom has also appeared in the camera. Is he also……?
I guess she has had a student or work visa (issued officially).
now all the Americans are going to say that she is officially paid by the authorities.

喜欢这种寻常巷陌，万家灯火。❤
我一直不知道有西昌這個地方，直到昨天第一次在一個瑞士youtuber的視頻才知道，巧合的是今天又在妳這裡看到！這個地方真的很不錯！感謝分享!!!!! 👍👍👍👍👍
Katherine, I love watching your vlog......share different aspect and life of the rural area. I hope you enjoy peaceful life in China. Waiting for your next vlog
Seems like every little town has it's own way of entertaining the locals! Interesting!
非常丰富的角度，确实就是中国普通老百姓的生活 感谢分享~
这你说错了，应该是大部分中国人都知道西昌卫星发射中心
这你说对了，应该是大部分中国人都知道 曼哈顿工程不在曼哈顿, 西昌 酒泉 太原 发射场 也不在西昌 酒泉 太原, 老百姓看火箭发射去海南岛要么看电视
Life in China is so peaceful sometimes considered as boring that you can immediately feel it when you are in China.
哈哈哈，很开心你会展现出小城的美，也会真实地展现大家的一些想法，显然不是所有事情都是完美的，祝你愉快
Love to watch conversations between you and local people.
Thanks for the vlog, Katherine! Very interesting details you captured! Love them!
That little baby just so cute ❤
5:00 He's an honest man 🤣
it is the US that tore Slavic countries apart. Just look at Ukraine and Russia in 2014 where the US did a coo in the Ukraine and brought in a new government. The US dos not want the Ukraine and Russia to be friendly just like they do not want China and Taiwan to be friendly

No worries. Being hated is the daily life in the US for Chinese, Iranians, Russians, Mexicans, Muslims in general ..., and oral expressions are just the level 1 out of 10.
Blame it on USA politicians that love to use China as a issue in their political campaign.😅😅😅
Chyna.... Chyna..... Chyna.....
I wonder why that is? Is China threatening to invade anyone perhaps?

Possible to have more videos from the projects by your company.

one is coming up in a couple weeks, stay tuned 😄

Either that or he still thinks Russia today is still the same as USSR.

thank you for uploading this video i really appreciate this.
Katherine, thanks for sharing the beautiful Xichang city with us! I'm sorry you had to experience things like that in China! Good thing your positivity is always out of the roof! Wish there can be more people like you in the world haha

@@DavidDONG-ib8xl I'm not frightened; I thought it was an interesting encounter but it was not fair for her, so I feel for her. I wouldn't want to hear people talking sh*t about my country when I'm in other countries, so I assumed so wouldn't she. Is that hard to understand?

Anyway, thank you for another great video!
P.S. More is always more, not less being more.
Note ： People in this province perhaps are some of the most patriotic Chinese in China. Lots of them were brutally murdered in battles (WW2). Memories still live on.
And people in the US isn't as "polite" as that uncle...
Yes... WW2 in which the US helped establish air bases in Sichuan to help China. Of course they'd hate America /s
中文说的真好🎉
If your definition of wandering out in the "boondocks" which is still pretty busy for a small city with a population of almost a million. Maybe it is a "boondocks" by China standard. Do enjoy your bantering with the local because it truly give one an "organic" insight into the not so well visited area.
The ever peripatetic Katherine like the Hakkas.
I meant I wanted to wander into the areas I was looking at outside the train window, sorry for the confusion 😂
@@kats_journey_east Keep it up, you have an audience in me.
Hope you don't mind what the old guy said. His source of information is TV and domestic mainstream media. His values are input to him by others. He may not even know what Google is.
真好笑，客观事实就是是美国正在各种制裁中国，难道还要要求普通中国人提到美国时感到开心和热爱？中国的包容就是虽然讨厌美国但不会对一个走在自己国家的美国人比中指甚至还欢迎对方来玩，而在美国生活的黄种人经常面临歧视这是为什么呢?

It's a beautiful fun trip ❤
I was in Xichang once. And it was raining dogs and cats. Happy to see what I missed 😅 that time I was actually planning to go to the mountains for 火把节 but it was the last year of pandemic and local people didn't allow me to enter since I am foreigner as well. Xichang and Cold mountains were not on stars for me that time. Maybe next time :)
That ancient city is very pretty. And I wish I could experience that kind of night life.
5：59 that funky bridge my very first reaction-if anybody would figure out a way to skateboard on it and recorded it ,he might be on the Thrasher cover...damn that must be INSANE!
5:00 The grandpa's got stuck in 1980's with the word "Soviet Union" but 8:58 the little boy is living in the current with the word "Russia". 😆😁
拍摄技术进步了😁
Always enjoy your video. You go to places most Chinese do even get to go!!
VP Vance should take note when talking about the OH town he grew up.
The guy asking if you have makeup on is so random . I think he probably meant you look so beautiful you must have makeup on:). I love how you don't get offended by random or "negative" comments from people in China - they mostly meant well and I have noticed those who are well traveled usually don't take offense. Great video as usual!
I remember going to England once. I went up to some old woman sweeping in front of her house. I asked "Hey old woman who won the revolutionary war?" She swung her broom and broke it over my head. She said "The revolutionary war ain't over yet!"
why would you say that to an English person? for fun? for humor? 🤣 it's like walking up to a random white American and asking them, 'Who killed the native Americans and stole their land,' despite the truth, it's just quite rude, imo.
