When the guy raised his hand as he said "bye" over the phone, i felt that on a personal level
Yees!
Wait, what duration was that?
@@taidyesch 2:37
ahaah
lol not sure why he did that over the phone...
As a Chinese who studied and works in Australia, it's the first time I saw how a day of work is like in China. Really impressed by this video. Thanks and keep it up.
Her job might be average, but her working condition and wellfare she getting is definitely not average.
Why?
I'm quite surprised that she works in online shopping industry, she get a day off on double 11 and the next day is also quite relaxed. I want that job.
You should try a teacher job😂
How many of us had worked a massive amount of overtime, passed out on a couch at work while a co-worker placed a tea down for you?
She probably seems more relaxed since she has a camera on her all day, so it's slightly less productive. I'm assuming that she probably does more when there isn't a camera I dunno, BaoPao is awesome, I've used it before.
This is so fake
This ain’t nothing average. Show the average Chinese person working in a crowded space factory working 14 hours a day and 30,000 ppl in a crowded lunch room
Each hour.
Haha my girl. Heather is an ever bubbly girl. We hanged out a lot in Bj. I interviewed her twice. She loves Africa. Great that she has now settled in Shanghai❤️❤️🤗
Small world, isn‘t it
I love that she loves Kenya. This is really endearing.
Sheeeeesh queen come Toronto next
She's in Africa now!
It's awesome, I'd love to see the same type of video with different jobs!
You got it!
SAME!!!
Yes would love to see A day in a life videos
@@jahangirakbar4524
Like Paolo from Tokyo
@@user-sm3bt2cy6u yesss but for china
Seeing her having the kenyan flag bracelet...makes me happy🇰🇪
I was looking for this comment 😂🇰🇪
Make "a day in the life of a 外卖 delivery guy"
@@AverageJoeInnovationsLLC they dont actually have shit pays..
Average Joe Innovations yeah quite the opposite of shit pay
I know her! Hi Heather, this is Sonia. Beijing misses you!
Sobugg I know you and Heather! This is Andrew. I miss both of you! 😄
@@AndZ9999 haha
I know Sob, AndZ and Heather! Just kidding I dont know any of you...
@@zhangxiao321 surely you remember me right Zheng Xiao? Because I remember you.
@@jared9402 @.@ I'm so confused now...LOL
The camerawork and editing isn't getting nearly enough love as it should! well done! what kind of 360 magic is that?
For anyone know how they do that
@@totoroid all you need is a 360 camera
cool trick the first time. got pretty sick of it after the 10th 360 shot
This was very intriguing. Keep the series going! I'd love to see what a 996 employee goes through
Dear Heather, if you’re reading this, PLEASE consider wearing a good protective helmet while driving your e-scooter! I have a neighbor girl who was hit by a car and killed while on her scooter. I was almost crying watching you drive without protection …
definitely wouldn't mind more episodes :) Good Job!
You’re in luck. Season 1 should be 5 or 6 episodes.
Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! I know Heather. I met her in Beijing. How cool to see her in a Mamahuhu video!!!!! Great video. Great to see what Heather's life is like in SH.
I really thought this was going to be a comedy sketch involving too many cigarettes, naptime, the boss's idiot son, and afterhours baijiu work meeting with clients.
lmao me too
me too
Bahahahahahhahahaha
that's a gr8 docu with top-notch production actually, nice job!
Top notch?
@@antediluvianclockwork9769 It means very good. I believe it comes from comparing how high things are... A notch is a line you draw on a wall. In the old days and people were trading livestock they would want the tallest sheep/goat/llama - So they would be put against a wall and a line drawn at their height. The tallest would have the highest line, the top notch.
Thanks for stopping by!
Li Yi Xuan's got a pretty packed and interesting day. You'd imagine a young person working an office job must be a boring story, but the company's cozy culture, her commute to work, and the activities she's engaged in throughout the day all make up for the experience I can barely imagine myself having in a much longer time.
A very nice video. Best of luck to the Born in the morning Happiness and this channel : )
I thought this was going to be a pisstake but it was really informative and really insightful. I met the founders when I was in Shanghai 3 years ago. So great to see them being successful.
This was not what I was expecting but a total awesome surprise. It was interesting to see her life and cool to see a different video style. Want to see more "Average Day of..." vids!
Wow I thought she was gonna have a shity job turns out She’s got a cool job honestly !!!!
Yes, a far from average Chinese job haha
Imagine spending about 200k USD for your kid to study abroad in the US so she can make about 15k a year. What a crap return on investment
Education is not about return on investment. And how many make 100K when their graduate? Besides who knows what heather might end up earning in the future.
they are probably loaded now due to global pandemic. look how much e-commerce has made in past year. who knows what opportunities can show up one day, studying abroad definitely gives you more possibilities.
@@ricosun you can educate yourself by going to your local library and for free. Unless you are studying computer science or medicine then western education is overpriced and not worth it.
Didn't expect to see a friend from Beijing popping up on MamaHuhu. Nice to see that you are doing great in Shanghai Heather! 😁
6:50 Finally, someone that has more tabs on one screen than me.
tabs are lifeee
@@heatherli1278 TAB GANG
@@heatherli1278 woah it’s you
looks like a good place to work, never know there is such a nice company. Imo a lot of Chinese e-commerce company didn't focus that much on working environment.
LazyMark2 it’s started by foreigners so I guess they created a culture that’s different from the usual Chinese company
@@Kpophdvidfan Huawei has a great work space too
@@wesleyvict lol for real? after 251?
actually, many of chinese internet companies like Alibaba, JD, Meituan, Didi are same as Heather's, maybe learned from foreign countries, but that is cool. unlike the many other traditional companies.
I just saw this episode, looks really interesting and comparable to my average workday at an IT company in Tokyo. Would you guys consider making an episode about the average day of an IT worker in Shanghai/Shenzhen? Kudo's from the Netherlands :D
Beetje laat maar hoe ben je aan een ICT baan gekomen in Tokyo? Ik ben nu systeem/netwerkbeheerder en wil waarschijnlijk cybersecurity studeren, is dat genoeg?
Really enjoyed this look into a typical day. She seems happy enough and very responsible also. Thanks for sharing. I really appreciated it.
Just found this channel. I thought it was nice to get an insight on Chinese workers. This remind of another youtuber: Paolo from TOKYO. Whom also does a day in a life of worker in Japan .
Can’t wait to start work in Shangai again . I live in yangpu district. Love Shanghai so much ...
This was right before the pandemic. Amazing.
You all got sponsored!!! Congrats!! 🤗 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎊🎊🎊
I'm fine with this kind of sponsorship.
She's wearing a Kenyan bracelet
Is this an average day for an office worker in Shanghai or an average day for Heather? There's a difference.
Average day for Heather. Otherwise it would be better titled titled “A Day In The Life Of An Average Chinese Office Worker.”
This is such a cool series :)
Most tech companies in China have adopted an amazing environment like western companies. They have gyms, video games rooms, amazing interior design, food and snacks, outdoor activities, boxing 🥊 rings. I visited a few tech companies back in 2019
Wow, I'm still pretty "shocked" about what I saw (in a good way !)
The rythm is really intense (but I really like it), the music is per-fect. A little surprised that Mamahuhu is making that kind of video, but I actually also like the fact that you can have multiple video formats on a channel, so.... as someone said, I miss the humor, but wouldn't mind some other episodes like this on a punctual basis (like, one every 4 or 5 humor videos)
Thank you anyway !
🍿
🙈🙉🙊
(Thank's you too)
This was wonderful, thank you! Helps to give some genuine insight into what it's like to live in Shanghai as a normal person.
Those with superiority complex fiddling in their mind saying this is way above average in China!? But this IS the average!
U see those high rise buildings in the cities? Most are nicely renovated offices, some rented some owned.
For coastal city like Shanghai, this is pretty average, rent a room, not cooking at home and a staff level job, no different from NY or London.
this is upper middle class in literally the wealthiest chinese city, the average chinese middle class is very different
@@jackeyjack Lol u haven't seen many cities in China !
@@jackeyjack hahaha upper middle class in Shanghai rent an old apartment with a couple. Man you really give an unique definition of “upper middle class “
this is great!! I would love to see more like this. every video you guys make is such great quality and I enjoy watching every minute of them!
I love these an average day please keep doing more
I really like this kind of video! I have loved so so many of the skits and other serious/comedy videos, but this sort of "average day" video is quite different from the types of vlogging I've seen before. I feel like it helps me get a quicker, but still very informative look at what life is really like for many young people in Shanghai
Thanks! More episodes like this coming up.
French quarter streets are lined with plane trees, absolutely beautiful sight. Have been there for 15 years, there used to a lot of custom suite tailor shops where tourists can get a custom made suite in a day.
9:53 This is why you let people exit the elevator before getting on...
I live these day in the life videos on TH-cam, it's some of the best content.
Her bracelet is my country's flag y'all..... Feeling quite patriotic right now. Go KENYA!
Interesting Video. I just enjoyed it for the second time.. Glad to see you Mamahuhu dealing with different content topics. I've always been a fan. Keep fighting the good fight. Me and my interracial family look forward to return to China as soon as it is allowable. I detest all this crazy USA vs China politics . . . and very much miss our good friends and relations back on the mainland.
so typical. I really miss Shanghai so much. Good to see the familiar places
6:39 These guys must be millionaires now due to Covid
Hahaha 😂
I forgot this was precovid lol. Masks are so common now that I thought ofc it makes sense someone would sell those types of masks.
@@ShaferHart not only masks but every online business selling anything earned a lot.
Omg I almost interned for that company. It would have been great if you all showed a video about a foreign student in Shanghai as well as interning and see how their life is like. I’m currently doing both and I met one of your staff once in Jing’an while on my way to work. I love what you guys do!
I would love to connect with you all. I’m in Shanghai until the 30th. 😁
This seems like a very untypical Chinese company. I've heard MANY horror stories at companies like Alibaba, ANT and Bytedance not to speak of many smaller companies.
A glass of milk for breakfast? The first place I’ll arrive would be the toilet 😟
Her command of English is really good. Impressive
this felt like 'a day in a life of' series but in china haha. nice.
Very nice , a fresh look of young Chinese office worker
I think this was a slick portrayal of an average day in the life of a Chinese office worker. It was good to get a behind scenes look at Baopals though. Their service is wonderful!
I really liked this, looking forward to the next episode!
This was amazing and insightful, thank you!
Really really really looking forward to the next episodes!!
We got two more in the bag.
This was a great video, really enjoyed it and would love to see more like this format! Your videos are always so well produced!
seriously???? I am at work by 7:50, showering in the morning and walking 30 mins to work.... I worked in her her district as well. Near Xintiandi and Tianzifan
Calm down. Are you feeling insecure or something?
The site she works with is HUGE.
I wish her all the best.
But her life certainly is not typical for Chinese office workers… but wad fun to watch.
Love this series, very realistic view of everyday life in SH!
Really enjoyed this!! I agree with other commenters that it’d be super interesting to see how the daily lives of those in other professions would compare. Also maybe different areas of Shanghai. I really liked the background and information that I gave about each aspect of her life👏👍
Great video, I really loved your editing style. Subscribed, and looking forward to seeing more.
Thank you.
Greetings from Kenya, Makena Akinyi 😊.
the 360 angles are really dope, nice job
Mamahuhu got a nice little pay day out of this one. Good on them. I found it reasonably informative in-between the product placements and the fish eye shots
I work for an international consulting firm and this office makes mine look like a sweatshop
So today, I learned there was an opposite valentines day, I am happy about that.
This is really cool and well made!
Good job!! I would love more videos like this!!🇨🇳👍🏼
she dresses really well
Thank you Heather for sharing you day with us :)
Great format, good video!
i love how casually shes dressed
starts her breaksfast short and sweet ..... like her , i cant wait to visit china , man id have so much fun
I think it's just perfect! Love this format🌟
Her life looks great.
I really like these day in a life videos
Thank you for Uploading this amazing content.
Love from Pakistan 😍 🇵🇰
I‘m so happy to have an office room for my own. And now i am in home office, even better.
That was super good. I look forward to more of these kinds of videos.
I thought Didi was going to also rent scooters
Omg gives me so much Shanghai flashbacks
the feels!!!!!
0:42
Aint gonna see that kind of wine anytime soon again.
This is awesome. So cool there's gonna be more episodes!
5 episodes for the series then we are back to business as usual!
Awesome video and direction! Looking forward to more not only in China but other Asian places too
Omg.. I love baopals.. the customer service is awesome!
This type of video is great, even as someone who studied in China, it's still interesting to see average days.
Love that Fallout mirror at bathroom
If this is an average day in the life of a Chinese office worker in Shanghai...I should move to Shanghai :-p. I work for an international software development company in Xi'an and...it's not this nice. Don't get me wrong, it's not hellish or anything (usually), there's a lot to enjoy, but it's also not as nice as this. And Xi'an's weather... 哎。 Don't get me started on the pollution.
Anyway, this kind of content is great. As always, lots of love for what you guys are doing. I'm all for having both comedy and documentary, and it's actually kind of fun not knowing which it's going to be before I start watching.
I would love to make an average day of my life in Shenzhen if possible! Life is interesting at the world's largest printing company and I hope I could be an example of a well integrated foreigner. Really great idea guys, as always. 👍🏼
Where the 996 people at?
Just a typical day of any office worker anywhere on Earth. I wonder why did she move from Beijin to Shanghai? she could live the same way at home.
I love the energetic music!
Nice video thank you!
i expected this to be a skit but it’s real!
Winning format. You could do this over and over and gain a(n ever more) serious following. Love the fish-eye lens.
Those scooters are wicked dangerous, their center of balance is very high and due to the small wheel size somewhat unstable and easy to fall when riding in inclement weather.
Riding a scooter in bad weather... oh i'm sure the girl's brain won't be that broken. People simply drive or use public transportation to commute.
Love it! More of these!
Good vid as I will be renting a office in Beijing
Best of luck!
