      Yes I agree 100%. I really hope we keep seeing updates with this family on a regular basis. This is the third update I have seen with this family and I really enjoy seeing the progress of the young boy and girl. I hope to see MANY more updates throughout the upcoming years.

    The contrast between the grandma who says she lives in the old house alone with the leaky roof and then the mum (who abandoned her family until they got famous) beaming with a smile and singing in the next scene makes me sick. The grandma is so selfless and it's amazing that she holds no resentment and still helps them out.

      In chinese culture, most old people tend to stay in the house where they grew up or lived most of their lives in. I know this because my dad is old himself and no matter what kind of luxury hotel or accommodation he is being offered he would just go back to our house. He feels more comfortable there and that's where his work is :)

    People are saying they wish they had a fundraiser for gran and the uncle, stop wishing and actually do something, all their social media’s (South China Morning Post) are in the description, contact them in any way possible through Twitter, Instagram or whatever and ask them to set it up. I don’t ask for likes but it would be appreciated to get this comment noticed. Email them if you can. A lot of messages on the same topic, hundreds maybe, has to get noticed.
    Even something like “Can you set up a fundraiser for the uncle and grandma in relationship to the new “Ice Boy” Film that you posted on your TH-cam?” Will do, it doesn’t have to be super long.
    Edit: People are saying that the Chinese government will just end up splitting the money. Well them getting a small amount of money is better than them getting nothing.

      You do realise it's in women nature to be like that??? Women love their kids more than the dad. Whilst she was away she probably worked to make money and then came back. Women in their periods become emotional and have random mood swings. It's only natural for her to get upset and blame it on the father for being poor. Since it's been I assume over 5 years she has to put up with it. Put your self in their shoes then talk. Don't judge. Also she is being strict on the kids to give them a better future. If you've been up to date with the videos you can see that she is a young mom and she started off hitting then trying to control her rage, the kids even said it.

It’s easy to judge someone far away- but she undoubtedly lived a life so far basically none of us can truly relate with.

    My fiancee grew up in rural Shaanxi and had some very similar experiences as a kid, poverty was a big problem, especially at that time. She would go back and forth to school once a week, because it was at least an hour a way, all while carrying all her food and rice for the week which were prepared for her by her aunt as her parents were in the cities working in factories and construction. I had the opportunity to spend time with her family in her home town this Chinese New year, and I've never met such honest, hardworking, lovely people. China has grown so much since she was a kid, but there will always be poverty. I hope in the future I might help kids in the Chinese countryside with their educations, and help them pursue opportunities that will improve their families lives.

      @@LvngBrd I remember when I was young, 'access' to education was the mantra for world change. Yet, now basically everyone has access and nothing happened. Access doesn't change motivation, that's why you or I don't have our PhD in any topic and we don't spend our free time watching MIT's, or other universities freely accessible courses.
      It's a nice gesture of course. But to do all those things, a nice cell phone with a monthly service would be more useful for making friends.
      The computer will be restricted by internet access, and who will provide that? Then to reach the outside world, who will install and provide the VPN?
      The western world seems to think the best way to help this family is to provide a computer, it's very 'western' thinking, but it's limited thinking.
