- This is what it's like as a Black man walking 10 hours in China.
Living outside your home country isn't quite easy, but living in China is a little different. And especially that my skin color is different, I get a lot of reaction from Chinese on a daily basis.
This is Day 5 of my 10 hours of walking in China challenge.

Hi, as a small creator, I’m grateful for y’all watching, liking & subscribing❤️✌🏽. My name is Felthom & I’m currently documenting my experiences as person of color here in China.
Nice 💪🏿
Chinese are "person of color" too. If a Chinese man walks on African streets, I wonder how the locals would react?😀
U are the best bro
U are genius
Never heard of people using urine to boil eggs in China. 🤣
I’ve lived and visited there for a few years as well. To my knowledge, unless you bump into someone / some place quite strange or messed up (really outside of the norm) no one does that. 99.99% of the places and people I’ve met in China would think that, that’s disgusting as well.
Water isn’t scarce in China, so if there’s any truth in that statement (which I don’t think is true at all), then it’s very few and very far in between that you’d find something like that. Maybe in a rare remote village in one region where they still think it serves some medicinal purpose. But I highly doubt it.
Salted eggs, tea eggs, duck eggs, and quail eggs are quite common tho. If you eat anything that has a sour, ammonia or sulfur taste, it’s probably just a bad / rotten egg.
Good one brother, but, u are no "person of colour" POC, u are African. POC is a collective term used to include Chinese also. Would imply that u blend with them, u don't, most of the script is being acted out after your passage: the curious stare, expressions, curiosity but pretending not to.
Your camera angles are good, the way u penetrated due to overcoming language barriers, reminds me of the early days of Wode Maya's early days. Curiosity is markedly pronounced from elder Chinese, the young cares less.
Clearly there is an imbalance in both our populations living in each other's countries. They have penetrated ours and become a fixture; we, still a curiosity in their mostly homogenous country.
Looking forward to more of your encounters
I am from Brazil and spent a few years in Beijing in the 90's, still love everything about China, the people, culture, language...
Free the Muslims being oppressed in china
I'm impressed with this guy. This is not an easy language to learn and speak in 5 years. Bravo my brother!
see how just learning another language can bring people to gather just for a conversation. not once did they question him about why he was there or gave him negative energy they were more intrigued by the fact that he actually took the time and learned the language.
I think 5years is enough to master any language lmao
@@Luv-dq5th not chinese ... U may be able to read and write, but to make chinese understand ur speaking is another matter.
@@Luv-dq5th not Chinese
@@kshenriques i think you and abu are severely underestimating how long 5 years are. Maybe if you were self taught sitting at home doing an hour or so a day then yes. But when you're immersed in the language every second of every day by simply living there, if you CANT speak the language semi-fluently then you might have an issue with how your brain works
I like the fact that ppl respect him and treat him fairly.
Thats how chinese people traditionally really are
Because in china you have no racism they don’t know about bigotry.
I'm actually accepting the fact that they're happy to actually have a black person visiting their country. They're allowing they're kids to kindly say hello and in fact impressed with the fact that you can speak fluently with them. Great video!
yeah, thats a pretty normal day here in China... Chinese peoples confused face (happens when your carrying a camera around) usually looks grumpy but that quickly turns into a smile when you say hi, especially in Chinese. Thanks for the video.. I really liked to relate my experience to it.
You’re very welcome. Glad you can relate to it
@@FelThommy good
Good job Fel! You just proved "nobody would respect you just because of your skin color, but people would respect your skin color because of what you've done"
That grandmother coming back and clapping was the best ❤😂
I am a white Irishman, and spent a month in china. I felt sort of paranoid the whole time. Don't think colour is an issue, they find seeing a westerner walking their streets fascinating!!!
At least i had a better time in china than i did in japan!!!!
I really love the old people of China! Love the energy ♥️
Due to boiled eggs. 😀😀
Welcome to China
Some Chinese old people suck, you know, due to culture revolution.

Next episode: a chinese man walking in Lagos and speaking Yoruba...
I don’t think it’s safe to walk the streets of Lagos as an Asian man
@@romanzmlv1458 the Chinese infested africa bro what u mean
@@Kyle906-Q8 well they are everywhere but at least they’re bringing investments. But again as a non black person I would be scared to walk alone in Africa, in Asia it’s fine
I wish I could speak Yoruba fluently vc of my religion 🤧 (Brazilian here, we have many African Brazilian religions and mo's of black ppl here are Yoruba ethnic descendants from the slavery time)
@A B Speaking the local language?
Having been to 4 cities in China i know that they're very happy to meet non Chinese which is very rare and a proud moment for them
You are pure gold my friend! 🙌
An ambassador for humanity itself.
Keep up the great work✨
The world needs YOU and more like you.
I love this. I am Nigerian Irish and it kinda reminds me of life in Northern Ireland in the 80s when I was growing up, except the people weren’t very friendly. It’s changed there now, much more chill. So interesting to see real Chinese street scenes. I wish you well bro 🫶🏽
As me grandad would say .. “good man yaself” ☘️❤️
Hey, bro. I'm Northern Irish. Sorry to hear about your bad experiences here. I think that a lot of people are quite backwards here, but things have been steadily changing since I was born in 88, which is of course a great thing.
@@OuroborosWorm hey bro, I’m talking about my experiences back in the 70s and 80s really. Things have changed so much at home that it is barely recognisable to me now. It was very different back then though, trust me…
On my mother's side they are Irish/British/Choctaw and cherokee. I was shocked to know I'm only half American lol. Even had the urge to visit Ireland for some reason back in 2020. Salute to ya!
Tommy welcome to China Chinese people are very friendly so enjoy your life in China ❤❤❤
Hehehe from the start you had the locals turning heads. LOL 👀🤣
There's a black American that can speak 10 languages fluently. For the most part the chinese people on here were unimpressef. LOL
@@averychilco There’re many foreigners in China already, especially Shanghai, Beijing, etc. It’s not new anymore. Nanjing is also a big city.
@@ryanzhang701 I believe you they were looking at him like so what.
I love your channel I think if more people learn many different languages the world would be a much better place. I love the look on the elderly faces when you speak Chinese to them seems like it almost brings tears to their eyes😄well it did bring tears to my eyes. I love the reaction so beautiful 😃❤️🌹
Welcome to China
❤
Wish I could learn Chinese language. 🇮🇳🇨🇳
No it wouldn't unfortunately. It used to be like that in the ancient times but man was doing evil in the earth because there was nothing we couldn't accomplish due to communication. God had to split the languages we used our togetherness for evil.
I came from Nanjing, now living in the US. Glad to see my hometown and the nostalgia nanjing accent…
Anyways, you are very brave. When I walk on the street, no matter in the US or in china, I keep looking at my cellphone to avoid any eye contact😂
I hope you can change that. Walk tall and hold your head high. Let others feel their own discomfort; there's no reason for you to take on theirs.
@@kengruz669 there's plenty reason for you to take on theirs
Western inhumanity is a rare disease created by that stupid phone ,, The clawslaves are ruining humanity !
Being "different" from a different place is always tough..and I know this personnally, .. but for a person of color in another country, the challenges really are amazingly strange. Nice video ...the video is a real education for sure....
Most of these black people get discriminated lot

Keep doing your thing. Don’t know you but felt pride when I saw you interacting with the people and just being brave to leave your comfort zone to something so different. My anxiety would get the best of me Respect
Respect earns respect.
This man was intriguing/ interesting to the local people.
I only saw respect.

That’s nice she touched you,to show you the directions
What does that mean 🤔?
@@FelThommy meaning at least she was been friendly!and trying to make sure you find what you were looking for is that a bad comment
?
I like how the Chinese ask direct questions.
That’s how it is here😅
there is no stigma to staring over there. i got stared at constantly over there. was uncomfortable at first, but i learned to turn it into a swagger.
Another thing Chinese are also mostly extroverted, they like to talk to people
@@Hhhh22222-w i think many i met did not know how to approach me. i was in an area that was relatively rural, with very little exposure to outsiders.
there was a great moment where i passed by an old lady on a side road. as we got near to passing, the headless chicken in her bag suddenly spasmed wildly. she looked at me like i was a terrifying demon that made the chicken come alive just by proximity.
@@nyarlat2609I enjoyed your headless chicken story very much 😂
you are more welcomed in here than in lots of USA towns.
Well-done Bro. China is a clean country.I enjoyed living in Shenzhen and visiting OCity
I'm impressed by ur friendliness towards 'em,bro. It's a real good thing when we'll live in peace,you know,it makes me feel great. KEEP MAKING US AFRICANS PROUD YONDER!!!
I really enjoy watching him speak Chinese, and the locals' reaction. 👌🏾👍🏾
about the egg, I need to clarify that as an Chinese I can tell you non of the eatable egg is make of urine. It might heard people use horse urine to add on the grass ashes to make the Thousand-year-egg that was a mistake information. The thousand-year-egg is make of ash mix soda and red mud to keep the egg cell dry.
Who is he?❤!😊😂 Breaking links and your connecting links! Great job mate!
Damn, my boy everyone’s looking at you like a exotic animal or something 😂😅😅 keep up the good work
cool video bro, I am from NYC USA, and I would love to visit china just to go sneaker shopping, but at first, I can tell they were wondering, why you were there and what were you doing. the moment you started talking in Chinese the guard was let down then you saw the humanity of people from different walks of life interact in a positive way.
Interesting man, what sneakers do they have in china? I’m from Maui and I wish I could go to nyc to get sneakers haha

Wow old people there are quite healthy and independent. I wished my grandparents too could have lived longer. 🥲
Love you Fel from 🇿🇦represents my brother, Africa is proud of you.
Nice video , a lot of effort went into this. Thanks 👍
Thank you very much Matt
Very clever Chinese name you've got there, Matt!
@@galezhang haha thank you !
Thank you for doing this and sharing this bro. You're doing a wonderful job just by doing what you do. Keep inspiring bro and stay safe out there ✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿
Thank you, I will
👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
That is so fucking cool I oo see a black man in China. And he knows the language too. Very cool
The older couple in the beginning was so sweet. I could just hug them ❤️. It's your energy that they feel. That's also why they stare.
He said they weren't together lol... But I still think they knew each other ..just went their separate ways .lol
No they don’t know each other, in China when they see a foreigners speak Chinese, they found it fascinating and joined in , doesn’t matter if they know each other or not , they feel they all wanted to ask questions about that person.
The way those strangers gathered in the beginning then separated at the end is powerful. We're all connected ✨
good thing: if you are friendly, you get welcoming reaction
Thommy nous sommes très ravi de voir tes videos aussi ta sympathie avec nos frères chinois c'est super waouh!!
They were all saying "I didn't know men could be so handsome"
Love you man, your content is god tier, people who puts dislikes are cringe
Interesting to see. I would've felt weirded out from everyone looking and staring. Great job and that fact that you speak their language, its very helpful.
Even as a white man living in China for a couple of years (not in major location where there are more foreigners) I got constant attention, none of which I found bad, if you think someone looking at you (especially older people) strangely is bad there someone wrong with the person walking. China had been a very Chinese place and I hope it retains this for another 100 years 😋
Impressive.. you managed to walk around recording for 20 minutes without a mask and not be arrested or approached by any authority. Wow. Maybe being black in China comes with certain privileges
Hopefully it becomes a more free nation in the next 100 years
@@jordendarrett1725 people there are more free than in the west 🤣
@@RoaminRob Are they?
haha,We just like to stare at foreigners, which is very interesting.(◔◡◔)
I felt the same recently as a white guy walking around towns in Ethiopia
We don't need you in africa,stay where youare
This video will go viral eventually 😊
I'm new to your channel love it! Thank you and lol you should wear your fro out I bet many would really stare lol. Seems like very good and accepting people seems so peaceful love it much love from Georgia 🇺🇸
Very clean city.
my ass
Unlike India
@@xRoid1can't compare India with China.
@@xRoid1what was any need to say unlike India ,Both countries have some clean and uncleaned and undeveloped cities ..You cant compare like this if you dont know any thing good about India ..Their are so many cities in India upcoming as a cleanest cities in world you can check it if you want ,,Allah ki maa ki chut
Theses type of videos show what we all already know, THERE ARE GOOD PEOPLE EVERY WHERE.
Have to give it to him for the courage to walk among dem and do his thing , in this video though they showed him respect , good
Enjoyed your video from the 🇺🇸 USA
That group of elders was so cute!
I went to watch some football matches in China with friends. One of my pals is Black and has dreadlocks, and attracted a lot of attention. However, not half as a much as the young white lad with us, who had ginger hair... the locals seemed mesmerised by him 🙂
Im new here and I really like your videos:) please more!!😊
Thank you. Sure more coming⚡️
0:59 I love how surprised she was.
Hearing the “N” word in Chinese all the time never ceases to crack me up. Especially when this guy says it!!
你好不就是hello
Fel, you are the best!
This channel is a gem. China from some of the things I see they do to black people like with the black going into the washer and coming out asian. I've grown to really dislike them. But, channels like this can curb the hatred. China seems to have some pretty nice and sweet people there. They glow when they see someone that can speak the same language. I was really good to see. Made me smile.
Thank you, I’m glad it did
Unlike people from other countries who live in diverse environment. Average Chinese people are not sensitive over racism topics. A lot of Chinese people would never think that ad is racism but a “creative” idea(that washing machine is so good at washing clothes it can even bleach your skin). That doesn’t necessarily mean they are racists.
Just please don’t judge something because you saw it online… People are just people, it’s the same everywhere. There are racist and discriminative people everywhere, which doesn’t mean every Chinese is like that. As long as you’re doing things legally, foreigners are welcomed in China.
I guess you have heard the "funny" part of this video: th-cam.com/video/785tDZSVh-I/w-d-xo.html
This grandma said she actually tried that, washed the kid many times, but she is absolutely not racism if you watch the whole story.
Im chinese australian, and i wanna thank you for repping my community back home
You are lucky to being from a such beautiful country 😊
The irony is, you call yourself a Chinese Australian, which is fine... and then this guy in the video calls himself a 外国人 within the first minute. This is where Chinese people have the advantage-they retain their strong sense of identity. Fawning non-Chinese refer to themselves as 外国人, which you didn't do, essentially saying that they don't belong and are a stateless people. I'm a white Australian myself and have been called a "外国人/老外/洋人/foreigner" here by Chinse people multiple times. I note you were enthusiastic about what the guy in the video is doing. Of course you are. It suits you just fine, and the nuances that I point out, you certainly haven't pointed out.
@@じゃみっと
in fact is the same background for Jewish community (goy) and Muslim community (kaffir, but it sound very bad and spreading a dangerous ideology).
Black can discriminated other and white do the same even for mixed persons.
Chinese in general afraid other Asian , they keep far away from the unknowns.
Not easy to sympathize but they are a good example , a successful integration in Australia and America.
@@DearBill Whoever goes to another country and calls the locals "foreigners" has not integrated into that culture well at all. Thanks for replying, though.
Mate ur reading into it too much, go have a cry or something about it LOL
The best way is to talk to people on the street, try to find some thing interesting to talk to them or just ask for direction , they will be very welcome and friendly once you talk to them in Chinese. I can assured you.
Your skin tone is good! I have seen very dark ppl, i mean very black African ppl. I am non Indian from India. I have fair face and light brown skin.
Thank you!
I’m a new subscriber bro from the Bronx newyork shit is dope bro I use ur eyes as mine since I will never see these place I’m from the hood feel me I love TH-cam peace and love my niga 💪🏻🙌🏻
Never say never
They are just curious. You can't see different race in China every day except in some major cities. For those elders, it might be their first time during whole life. It's a country just starts to open 30 years ago, and China is huge. It's a situation that you're more like a celebrity rather than those Asians are stared, beaten and shot at in the U.S. and UK.
Great video 👍... and for the egg being boiled in urine part I think those are called "virgin boy eggs"
Thank you. Exactly, the name is “virgin boy eggs”
i like your long sleeve T-shirt Fel.
Thank you
I can see how you learned the language well. You ask questions, repeat what they said and say thank you. I'm going to try and do that too👍
This is great. Knowing the long history of China and the migration of Africans this is deeply special.
We chinese people do not judge book by cover and also do not judge people by colour
God bless you bro
Fel, the obvious reason why you are stared at or looked at is because you are such a handsome man. You should be a magazine cover model, you handsome devil you 💋❤💋
Truly fascinating
Did anyone notice the flower shop owner teleport to the chair outside?
He is our lord and savior, just like the fictitious christ
He was itching to sit back in that chair 😭
Nice look bro, ah you are speaking the language and grandpa is still asking if you can speak lol😂
Thanks bro, haha u know it is here
I think he wanted to know if he can just speak a few Chinese words or really speak the language.

You are very cool! Respect from Russia!
Thanks and welcome
I’d look at you too if I saw you filming yourself at 6am lol
Very nice. Seems one needs to learn some basic chinese before traveling there.
Imagine the look on their faces 😳 when they hear him speaking their own language...I don't like how they stare and look at him as if they never saw another human being before...
Good thing it wasn’t 6AM in the evening. Thanks for clarifying.
Amazing brother!
Chez chez for the video 😂😂😂🙌🏿🙌🏿
Total respect to you my Brethren! I’m in complete awe of Brother!👊🏽
Good work expoleroling parts of the world
you need one of those shoulder cameras like Xiaomanyc
Your title should mention the city you are in; different cities in China people react differently to foreigners.
They look at you out of curiosity and interest only... once you chat with them they open up and are very friendly....
Imagine if he did the same as a black man in US 🤔🙂
That’s true, most open up when you chat with them
He could be Chinese as well
If he walked into the wrong neighborhood he'd probably be pressed by other black men
They probably would have just ignored him in the US.
Your Chinese is very good!
You are a rockstar
Very humble people
They’re probably thinking what basketball team is that black man playing for?
Good luck
Thank you 😊
Good job, man. 中文很流利👍🏻
Congratz bro i think só Hard chinese leanguage!
