🇨🇳 Kay Kay: The Girl from Guangzhou | Rewind
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 ก.ย. 2024
- Kay Kay is the face of modern day China, a bright, educated and ambitious 20 year old living in the booming southern city of Guangzhou. She represents a new generation of middle class Chinese ‘only’ children, benefiting from China’s economic growth as well as the single-minded dedication of her factory-worker parents.
First broadcast in 2012, this unique film followed Kay Kay for her whole life, filming with her and her family at regular intervals since her birth in 1992. It gives a rare, personal narrative to the decades of transformation of China during the first 20 years of her lifetime.
From an innocent childhood and school days through to her university life where she struggles to get to grips with China's economic imperatives in the face of environmental issues, Kay Kay is a charming, engaging guide to modern China, its people and the miracle of the country’s economic growth during those two decades.

I was born in mid 1990s in a small town close to GuangZhou. The tapes in the first part of the video brought back so much memories of my earlier life. Literally felt like watching my own life there.
Remarkable, a beautifully created documentary. It is incredible to see how a country transformed itself in only 2 short decades for this girl and her family.
You can tell kids in China then don’t have all the fancy toys like North American kids. Kay was taught to use her imagination, singing and learning from her parents and not the T.V. A bit of Homeschooling,
I can tell Kay’s love of Fashion started at three years old and even as a young adult she loves shopping!
Compare with other girls in the same documentary series and the the difference and progress. Born in a poor country but grown up when the country became moderate prosperous.
so.. where are others children documentaries from other country. would like to watch them too
She was born into low-income family like many others but lucky to have loving parents.
Just love the duality of dialects that her parents have passed down to her daughter, one is their native Guangzhou Cantonese and also standard Mandarin.
and a bit of English too (from school/university). Pretty smart! Just wish they'd stop with the anti-Japanese.
All Malaysian Chinese children need to learn three (mother tongue, English and Malay) or four (mother tongue, Mandarin, Malay and English) languages. So, two should not be a problem at all.
Amazing to see someone's life play out in front of you. I have to say she has loving, hardworking parents. Way to go KK! Way to go China! I believe any county have the ability to transform to a much better place.
Great documentary.I wish Kay Kay and her family all the best.I'd love to see how she is doing now. :)
Best documentary i have ever watched 😁😁
very Cool. really loved watching
Fascinating. And what a lovely woman she turned out to be. Her parents are right to be proud of her. Enjoyed watching this. Thank you.
Michelle Topham Everybody wants a easy going baby like Kay. Her parents are lucky Kay wasn’t a trouble child that is fussy.I wonder how her teeth straightened out? Most Chinese don’t usually have Orthodontic services like In North America. Its usually for rich parents who can’t afford it.
@@Yogirliej4dee That's miles away from the truth.Most Chinese don't have orthodontic service not because we can't afford it, just because the elder generation don't think it is a serious issue compare to a "real "disease.
Of course, it's not a scientific attitude about this issue, so more and more parents care about their children's tooth as well as their own this years. That means things related to the dentists are worth investing nowadays here in China
What a great documentary by Al Jazeera! Can't say good enough for it. I felt in love with every single one in it with the knowledge the great work done before/behind the scene. A great thumps up to Al Jazeera. I salute Bruno.
She is beautiful
Wenlong Lu she really is.
It's amazing how China progressed so quickly! The mother said a country is like a person. If you're poor, you get pushed around. If you're rich you can speak your mind. I wonder how the UN and other western countries would treat my country if we were as powerful. I wonder if they'd be as blatant in criticizing us and our government.
Arlen Dones which country are you from?
True.
garyhim1992 every poor countries in the world.
Great documentary
Great documentary, good job Al Jazeera~~, thank you
I'd love to see this documentary continue and follow her farther into her life or even a link to some sort of social media she may have just to see how she's doing.
good job, i’m from hong kong
Who cares where you are from!
very good documentary, from the bottom of individual people's life, to see the huge change of the China, hope will continue record KK's live for next 20 years.
Over the course of this documentary, I can’t help but fall more and more in love with this young lady, Kay Kay. She’s beautiful, self-assured and intelligent. Much credit goes to her parents.
wow how amazing it is to see how they developed so fast . China is a great example for the rest of the world .
Slave labour, no equal rights, pollution, and mass corruption?
Leung Wai Kit have you ever been to the US? We have clear blue skies, I could take a businessman to court for dirty business even if they have more money than me, we have something called the labor law, and freedom of speech, I can voice my disagreement with the ruling power in the street or on radio, can you say china has those things?
@jialuo5317 So True Yes, and now with Dictator Trump in things are only getting far worse!
@@Stephen-lt1tp Your politics is like a joke, nothing will change no matter what you say in the street or on the radio.
Jimmy instead of name calling, what do you disagree with exactly?
Key key: with a good health, you can earn money. So smart
nice documentary and best wishes to Kay Kay
I thoroughly enjoyed this documentary, and as all I too fell in love with KeiKei. I am very happy for her that she
fulfilled her dreams. Her parents are also delightful people. Bruno can you direct us to the URL's for the other
children you did these documentaries on? I'd be very interested to watch them also.
Excellent documentary and I wish nothing but the best for Kay Kay and her family.
I loved her smile, she was very funny.
I was 6, first year in primary school in China in 1992, and started reading Japanese manga.
Thanks for sharing...a good story...
Why all the dislikes?
15 dislikes vs 16 likes .many westerns hate china , no matter what. wolfs love Toothless sheeps.
ybbolb a lot of junk from my country
Hate the growth of China
The dislikes are coming from former employees who have not been treated with respect.
Blame it on the fear mongering by your governments in Europe and USA........they need 'to make' 'enemies' to shore up their defense budget
Yifu Cheng It took 2 world war for Germany not to be demonized by the west and accept by the world to be a great super power. I hate war. But it seems to be inevitable.
A very good kid, you must be an inspiration and role model of the youth. Goodluck of all your endeavors kay kay!
What a lovely family. Two very loving parents and a loving and thoughtful daughter.
That was one of the best videos I’ve ever seen on TH-cam.
Thank you Al Jazeera!
I found out on Al Jazeera’s Website Kay is Married to someone she met in University and is a stay at home mom of two. Al Jazeera also filmed other kids (from birth)from other countries but how come there documentaries aren’t aired?
I'd love to see those, I was only able to find on imdb that a documentary called growing up was released in 1993 with all those babies in their first year, I wonder what happened with the project since he said he continued filming...
The documentary is from 2012, so it ended there. It would be nice that they keep filming like the Up project, but I guess they called it an end.
Love the video love the story love the spirit
What an EXCELLENT documentary of this lovely family and the amazing changes in CHINA!
very interesting documentary
This is a great documentary to show to our kids and students in Europe. Thank you very much.
Beautiful girl!
omg this brings back a lot of memory
So where's Kay Kay now? What happened with her life? Is she into dress designing? Did she graduate university? Is she married? Kids? Her parents must be retired now. Where are they?
If Al Jazeera Channel and/or Bruno Sorrentino could answer my questions, it'd be awesome!
I'm so happy I found this documentary. I'm from Nigeria and I watched this documentary as a child when I was around 9. I guess they posted it 4 years ago on this page. Well 10 years on and today I found this documentary again. And I feel really happy. 🥺 I really hope in 2022 she's doing alright and life has been fair to Kay Kay
Kaykay今年已经30岁了，可能已经穿着自己的婚纱结婚了。祝福她和她的家人。
My hometown!!!
oh she has two kids now & working in hsbc
Sunil Kumar She found love and stays home with the kids.
Wishing Kay Kay and her family the very best. Wonder how she's doing now???. Love to all and a brilliant doc, i love her parents also.
Why wasn't her years between 10 and 20 documented on film?
I wonder if she is married or has a kid
I hope this lovely girl, Kay kay don't die of pollution or stupidity in China
I can't believe al jazeera's opening intro used music from a video game hahah - specifically assiassin's creed III, the song is aphelion by jesper kyd. look it up, it's an amazing song. talk about random unexpected intersections of my interests on youtube lmao
Lol
Wonderful educational insights.
Good job sir & Al Jazeera
Thank you for sharing your documentary. I enjoyed it very much. It speaks with real people and their outlooks for what their kid will become.
She looks like Fang Fang from the documentary Somewhere Between. A story about 4 adopted chinese babies girl adopted to USA.
such a success
I think this is a beautiful program and that draws the history into a picture where we can see life from the eyes os others, the powerful way to show the reality from a country and its people. Great Project!
based on this documentary, 20 years plus in the making - one child policy is good for the country... i hope my country, the philippines will do the same
Wow, Al Jazeera is playing Jesper Kyd's "Aphelion" in the beginning of this video. Didn't expect them to use a track from a video game composer. But then again Kyd is just an amazing artist, so who can blame them? :P
Hey there don’t
Mind me asking I may have mentioned wrong it China 🇨🇳 Al Jazeera English
Thank you for this effort to bring this video to us. Wishing Kay Kay and her family are doing well.
An amazing documentary. It made me like China much more and want to travel there. :)
What's that background music called?
With good galth you can earn more money🤣
Kids are just so honest👍
Kay Kay is older now and must be working.
So what they want about the Chinese, but they EARNED it.
20:55 How to work for Peace? Only GOD ... ABBA, Our Father Does
Christ Our LORD Owns each and all good/s ... Wish Desiring Our Father/Sire's Will Of Eternal Life, Happiness to all. The Future Now, Eternal
Only child probably might be so
Somebody knows the title of the song at 28.37 minute?
the song is called:相思风雨中
Where is the rest
Its so moving clip
very great record， thankyou
so fascinating
this guangzhou is many years ago
How is Kaykay now? Great film making.
The director Bruno said she got married and is concentrating on her two children now. You can take a look of the interview after 44:00 and he mentioned about that.
28:37
Keep it alive! :D
Awesome documentary!
Yas early
