      Just because you liked it doesn't mean that others should share the same wavelength as yours - it's a free world - the problem with communist China is that every person needs to have the same mentality - back the 60s communist in China would hunted any person who didn't had the same idealogy like a pack of animal, either killed or send to hard labor, i guess nothing changes much - Chinese love white people who are into their culture because it's makes them feel superior

    I am happy with the TH-cam algorithm this time around for suggesting your videos to me, watched a couple of them and they calm me down a lot. What YongHong said was so true and the kind of mindset is so hard-to-have these days because everyone just wants so much in their life. Many people forgot the very fact that happiness most oftenly comes from simple and small things. I am not sure if you will see my comments but I wish you a safe trip and safe delivery to your second child : )

And the place is beautiful, very chic, westerners are very good in blending new and old, east and west, and know how to see beauty in so mundane things. And the husband is totally right, having a Good Heart is essential to being a good person. Cheers!

    So I'm Chinese by ethnicity, but born in Brussels, lived in North/Central/South America/Taiwan, now a retired aerospace engineer who makes his home in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. There is a certain peacefulness to Miriam's videos, which I realize have been edited, with music, etc. to convey the message/feeling that she wants to share.
    Still, I think that is something to aspire to; to accept life as it presents itself to you, yet making changes/improvements as you can and hopefully leaving this a better place for all who come after you.
    OTOH, blame whom we wish, but what with climate change, air pollution, water pollution, thermal pollution, disappearing aquifers, overpopulation, that time isn't on our side. If anything, we're living on borrowed time, if truth be told.
    But you already know that.

But seeing China through your lens, I see that China has another layer behind it. Just how I imagined it to be. So always a pleasure watching your video.
