I can relate to your journey, although mine took much longer. I received a high school education in a Hong Kong British colony and an engineering degree from an American college in 1981. Despite my mother being a Chinese scholar, I was initially indifferent to China and Chinese culture, except for the food. I was strongly influenced by Western engineering and physics and believed that democracy was the solution to all human problems. Everything changed with Deng Xiaoping. I can't imagine what he saw in China in 1989. He was a wise and brave man. He may be considered a hero of China, akin to a figure borrowed from American comic book culture. He brought order out of chaos through rules, order, and peace, guiding lost souls, particularly those living overseas, back to China. Our ancestors left treasures everywhere we look today. Through my perspective as a physicist, I saw the order and harmony of the Chinese system. It seemed to have suddenly appeared in my life and in the world. The truth was revealed, and the American system felt immature. I am proud to be Chinese and honored to bear the title "龍的傳人" (descendant of the dragon).
I had a Russian friend tell me that as a young man he was just bored with Russian culture and music - but at around 40 he suddenly started to hear "Russia". Understanding / feeling our history and how it shapes us deveops inner harmony. China in particular has a long story to tell. Enjoy the journey.
It’s good to know that you finally learned to love China….there are millions of overseas "tai-ping-yang” chinese that is so proud to be identified as Chinese. Or ethnic Chinese:)
Thank you. I've really enjoyed your insights as to how you see your nation and its progress. I first came properly aware of China in 1972 since when I've followed the nation's huge development. Enjoy.
I stumbled across this today and I LOVE your content! You got a new subscriber. I like the way you communicate. I feel you deliberately slowed the pace to allow non-Chinese audiences to better understand the Chinese culture . You pointed out subtle details and the production is very high quality. Keep your good work! Looking forward for more.
Simian, thank you so much for showing the beauty of Chinese culture. I haven’t traveled to China for years! It’s refreshing again to reminisce the beauty!
When I visited Chang An I really found a connection with the old ways and I was amazed at the cohesiveness of it all. Within the walled city, protected from Invaders. Similar to some places in Italy such as Orvieto and Certaldo. To have a safe place is very important and historically we have all suffered with invasions. Humanity is diverse yet similar in many ways. Hopefully we can all learn that essentially we are one humanity. And music, too helps to connect the threads. Thank you for sharing your performance.
Chinese is one of the oldest civilization of Asia after babylonia ,mesoptamia and indus harrapa. Lot of ancient building in every provinces in china are well-preserved that you should be proud of it... That is why in europe preserved their old buildings rather than many skycrapper. China is diverse , unique and historical.
Mesopotamian and Indus cultures have long disappeared though. Chinese civilization continued. So, it's harder to put a 'stop' to its development along the way. It can't stay the same over such a long period.
Hello Siming. Thanks for share your perspective of your country and finding harmony with it and the world you have experienced outside of China. Finding oneself is definitely a soul searching journey. I was a refugee from Kampuchea living in the USA. I left Kampuchea in the early 80s and had felt lost living in the US. I visited my homeland in 2002 and had a perplexing experience where I found myself no longer completely a part of that world. I was part of two of worlds and had a bit of identity crisis. After some time reflecting and thinking, I realized that I’m not just Khmer or American, I’m a symbiosis of the two cultures. Realizing that had made me appreciative of other cultures more, as a citizen of the world.
As someone who loves ancient cultures I am happy to see you exploring Chinese culture. I know geopilitically there is much controversy around China, but that does not change the rich history you have in your heritage. I appreciate how you engage openly and honestly on recent political events in China but please do not lose that cultural essence. I remember a time when China and Afrika interacted on this cultural exchange especially with my own people the Venda from South Africa. This is a story that our Elders share in our history. So I have a great interest in that.
As a Malaysian Chinese, I try my best to preserve Chinese culture and reeducate myself with it, although Malaysia managed to preserved some Chinese heritage quite well but we need to do more. Good to see that your are getting back to the root
True. It´s so sad when you see what happened to the Chinese in Indonesia and how they lost their language and culture. Malaysia instead did a good job there. Singapore on the other hand is quite confusing to me. Most people there are Chinese but they try to get rid of their Chinese languages and substitute it with English. Quite sad.
@@Alternatives_Universum Singaporean chinese speak terrible engwish; truly an embarrassment to both themselves and their people. Ignored by 99% of the world, and a joke for the remaining 1% who even know they exist.
These aristocratic Chinese gardens that are found in China and duplicated elsewhere do the most amazing job of making a relatively small space seem large. A Chinese garden is almost TARDIS-like in this respect. Also, the qipao is, in my humble opinion, the most feminine and the most beautiful of human garments anywhere in the world. Every woman looks beautiful in a qipao, and I suspect it's far more comfortable than a kimono.
I like how you describe the garden! tardis-like, what an interesting way of saying it:) yes, qipao is one of my favourite type of dresses. it's very feminine, isn't it? :)
You must come to Malaysia, especially to Penang Island, Ipoh and Melaka to see how we Malaysian Chinese here preserve our Chinese culture and building. People from Hong Kong tell our streets in Penang Island, Ipoh and Melaka are like streets in Hong Kong those day in 1970s.
Greatly appreciated showing history where your parents lived nearby. The Water Lillys and Bonsai trees I saw appeared healthy, felt like they were part of this historical environment to. Thank you for sharing😃😊☮
I think it's very normal for children growing up to take their culture for granted, especially in the modern age with so many electronic distractions. It also makes sense to come to appreciate it after gaining life experience and seeing more of the world, which helps contextualize how culture is meaningful, and the one you grew up in is 'yours.'
I've been reading Dream of the Red Chamber and seeing this incredible house and garden helps me imagine what the family mansion in the book could have been like! Thanks - love your videos, they are so informative
Hello Siming, I recently saw three of your video and I want you to know that I enjoyed your point of view about America and China. I agree with you that America should't be in a competition with China and sad to say there are too many jealousies on both sides. I look forward to seeing more of your videos and perhaps meeting you one day, perhaps in China?🙂🙂
Yes this bullshit is counterproductive for all of us and the rest of the world too, except for the evil military-industrial complex who are playing us to profit. Or worse. Too many people are easily manipulated and made into puppets. Sad.
I recognized Li Ziqui in your segment on the chinese long dress. An amazing lady in every respect. I have recommended her videos to several of my US friends. I hope your channel prospers as hers has.
Have to say I’ve just discovered your channel and think your content is fantastic! Keep bridging the gap between China and the West culturally and politically ❤ it’s really important someone does this
Wow, you are a great teacher. Thank you for sharing these videos. It is very helpful to understand from outside of the propaganda that we get sometimes.
Oh, you are a musician, as well. I like you even more, now. :D I play bass guitar, among other instruments, and I would like to learn guqin, it has such a beautiful sound.
Nice video that got me immersed into the charm and beauty of the Chinese culture. Hope those oversea Chinese get to feel how proud they ought to be and not be defiled by the Western concept of crazy freedom and debauchery. Chinese virtue and value never fails.
I went to Liang Garden. It’s a beautiful place, and I’m glad I went. It’s all thanks to you for this video. Thank you very much for sharing it to the world. 谢谢。🙏 Greetings from Shenzhen. (From the UK, but I live in China now.)
I like watching you playing the 古筝 at the end of the video. And I like the garden very much. Thank you for sharing. Speaking of gardens. The world is full of various styles and types of gardens. They have lots of history, culture, tradition, and wisdom that comes with it. So different gardens in different parts of the world have their uniqueness. I think it is nice to see different ones and not have to expect all gardens to be the same and having only the same elements. Or else it gets boring :)
Thanks for sharing. Such a beautiful place that respects it's history whilst being enjoyable today. Hopefully the rain was a relief from the heat rather than that horrible cold British stuff. 😅👍❤
You are so welcome! 🥰 during the intense summer heat though, I do miss the cool British sun and having a nice little walk along the canal, watching Canadian geese!😅🌞
You play the Gu zheng well. Hope to hear you play "Moonlit night over Spring River". I first heard this when my daughter started learning the Pipa and like it very much. 😊
Beauty is in the eye of the behold who have usually experience new good things. Nature by itself because of its wonder is beautiful and someone placed them all over the world. If you just appreciate only those outside your country, then you have not seen or realise all of them. The appreciation of beauty comes from the inner beauty of oneself. Puzzled?
Chinese Civilization deep and long. East meets west. Music, Dance, Theatre, Art, Literature, Philosophy. Let's compare and contrast. Each should learn the details of the culture of the other. Learning and sharing. So much to talk about. Teach each other the language of Mandarin, English, Cantonese. So many languages, such a richness of expression. So many opportunities to laugh and tell stories; share a big meal with family, friends and strangers. Food is a force for opening up the heart and reaching out in generosity to invite the stranger in. Let all who are hungry, come and eat. East meets west. Chinese visit America. Americans visit China. Let friendship grow and thrive through mutual cooperation and sharing: hearts and minds.
I think, everybody loves Chineese culture. Think about cuisine, Confucius, writing etc. Chineese culture is for Asia what is Greek culture for Europe. You should be proud belonging to this ancient culture.
This is what I love about China: originality, beauty and harmony. The Garden reflects those values to a T. There is the dark side of modernisation I hate: derivative aping of the West without regard for the ability to be more of what one is capable, resulting in uninspired, shoddy and low quality work. Chasing after the wrong kind of popularity hasn’t been a good look for China. And I keep asking myself, where is the country that made that beautiful garden?
One of the more disappointing or sad things I noticed on my visits to China was the proliferation and prevalence of western type (public especially) buildings. Often ugly western buildings. You could be in any part of the western world to see such buildings, and yet be in China.. I was disappointed about this and would have wished that the Chinese/govt had retained more aspects of traditional Chinese architecture into many of their new buildings. At least some nod to their history instead of too many ugly western buildings would have been nice.I also prefer the most traditional Han Chinese dress/costume over the tighter less elegant last representative of Chinese clothing./dress.
You'd be surprised, they are way more "chinese" than "western". I'm sure youre refering to "modern chinese" architecture. Thos buildings that look western, but honestly are not at all. They are distictively chinese/soviet era
With modern tech, I think China should spend some money in restoring all the old historical buildings and artifacts etc. to their former glories (like newly built), e.g. that of Tung Huang etc. Dirty looks do not mean they are old. So spend some money, create more jobs, preserve and enhance craftsmanship. Just look at some of the European palaces, so grandly restored.
It's the other way around. Japan got its culture from the Chinese Tang Dynasty, including its language. Most Chinese can read many Japanese Kanji characters, which literally translates as "Han language." As you may know, the Han people are the largest race in the world today. Bonsai comes from the Chinese character "盆栽". Americans learned it from the Japanese. It doesn't mean it came from Japan. That is a Chinese art from way back (2000 years) before Japan made it famous in the West.
I know of an anti qipao movement because it came from the Manchurians and lacks the history of hanfu. You're more in touch with your heritage than you say; you can play the guzheng.
China has a lot to be proud of. Gun powder, paper, medical achievements, architectural achievements, astronomical achievements, navigation achievements and projector imaging. Don’t get me started on food and textiles. I just wish the CCP would divert from a police state.
Most parts of China look vastly different from what you show in this video. The more rural and remote parts of China are still very undeveloped and still in very extreme poverty and the people suffer horrible living conditions. As you said, the place you showed us is a tourist attraction. Most Chinese in the few developed cities have no knowledge of the extreme poverty of rural China.

anytime:) thanks for dropping by!
Feels like the only employed young person in china lmao😅

You're overseas because you don't want to live on to the horrible domination of the CCP
Yeah I'm glad she's started to love her culture and origin

Every time I watch or read something about China, there is something new to me. The Chinese response to me saying, "Wow," is, "Oh, this old thing?".

Awesome 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤️
Thanks for sharing! I'd really like to visit your country in some days!
that would be very much welcomed! 😊
Here before this channel blows up.
Also, do foreign tourists have trouble exploring China without knowing some Mandarin ?
oh haha thank you:)
usually, people go in groups or with a chinese friend or a tour guide so solo travel without any knowledge of the language is rare
A majestic garden with Chinese characteristics
Excellent ❤
A good raincoat can perhaps change your mind 😇😇

china is so beautifull
what is the different between a qipao and a cheongsam? btw i prefer hanfu kyaaa so beautiful!
you are good on the guzheng!
Very beautiful girl,love you from China
Love your performance! The Chin? I think?
This is what I love about China: originality, beauty and harmony. The Garden reflects those values to a T.

For an European, it's hard to distinguish a Japanese garden from a Chinese one. Anyways they are beautyful
So we are Cantonese, and the house reminds me of my parent's house in 新会. Thanks for the tour. Love to re-discover China thru your experience.

Foshan is the birthplace of Wong Fei Hung, the world renowned martial art pugilist.
Could you tell me about the music at the beginning of this video??
With modern tech, I think China should spend some money in restoring all the old historical buildings and artifacts etc. to their former glories (like newly built), e.g. that of Tung Huang etc. Dirty looks do not mean they are old. So spend some money, create more jobs, preserve and enhance craftsmanship. Just look at some of the European palaces, so grandly restored.
作为在中国内陆长大，在日本长期生活的女生，我跟你一样有这种复杂的心路历程。

You from Foshan?
Bonsai trees. Isn't bonsai from the Japanese language?
It's the other way around. Japan got its culture from the Chinese Tang Dynasty, including its language.

Your dress is early CCP era style. Japanese Kimono is much older.
