- Many people have wondered who I am behind the scenes. Many people have tried to crawl into my world. Only one person from the outside has been able to do this and he was a reporter from Nanning TV. Daniel who became a good friend followed me around for weeks. Every time I turned around he was there with his camera. People were calling him a CCP spy watching Gweilo at every turn. This is a short documentary done by this more than talented young man. He catches the essence of my world perfectly. I am forever grateful to him as this piece of video will be in my family to show the generations after me who Gweilo 60 aka Kirk Apesland from Weldon, Saskatchewan really is/was. Thank you Daniel for your kind and amazing work. I am forever in your debt. Show him some love go to his new channel and subscribe. This may push him to make more content.

That’s truly a happy life!!! As a Chinese living overseas, I am profoundly proud that China has become today, we are no long one of the poorest country in the world, all my brothers sisters are living a better life now, we are deeply grateful to the greatest generation that lead us to a peaceful and prosperous society. No place like home!!!!!!!

@@tiangcs8069 You too bro 😋
In 2003 on your first meet, your thoughts could have been:
"I tremble on your glorious sight,
With your radiant face beneath the Nanning moon,
I can feel the magic spell
Of the deep love your heart can tell."
💖💖💖💖
Positive energy is good for everyone. Your channel can only grow bigger. Good contribution to society. Good job.

Gweilo 60's life in China is a reflection of what chinese writer, Lin Yutang's famous quote says.... 'a good traveler is one who does not know where he is going to, and a perfect traveler does not know where he come from'.'
I love Gweilao60 ever since I have found his channel. I become his iron fan through all those years. Every day I wake up the first thing I do is checking out his channel. It’s become a part of my life. Kudos to Gweilao60! Hope Gweilao60 forever young,handsome and energetic!
Beautiful documentary.
You are so real, so down to earth Gweilo! And that’s the reason why I like to watch you like many other audiences.
Gweilo 60 is a positive and truthful guy. Well done sir.
Kirk when this virus is over I’ll treat you to a beer I’m in taiwan province right now 🍺
Welcome to Nanning and its never a beer. Always beers.

I wish you all healthy, wealthy and have a long happy life in China 🇨🇳🙏
You must be getting monetized again i am seeing more ads, keep it up as all this negative rhetoric from the Western countries is plainly jealousy. But dangerous!! I’m from Perth Australia and our government would be better off focusing on our country rather than being lapdogs of the USA
南宁是一个很友好的城市。广西属于欠发达地区，外来人口不多，南宁市主要的人口都是省内其他地市的人口迁入。整体来说，治安很稳定，东盟的门户，经济活动在国内排中下。有桂林山水，其实河池，百色，柳州的景色都很好的，自驾游会让你一辈子都忘不了，你想象不到在现代社会里，还有很多人住在高高的山上，他们似乎不关心外面的世界是咋样的，自己过自己的日子。 南宁有窃格瓦拉这样的人，为自己的追求活着，但别人别想改变我，自得其乐，可能这也造成了广西是一个怎么也发展不起来的地区吧。我家在南宁，但是我快十多年没回去了，很想念那里的贵州三品王，南宁老友粉，桂林米粉，柳州螺蛳粉，玉林牛腩粉。就是天气太热了，夏天的时候，来一瓶冰冻啤酒，真的好爽。
You need a strong arm to hold this stick all the time :-) loving China and your Channel. I hope Daniel will be successful too, I subscribed. Want to see what's coming
Wow, such a lovely video, so happy for you, jiayou!!!!! Gweilo60 👍👍
A good man with a good woman and in a good place ...keep up the good work.
He’s old, but a cool guy, talks no sh*t, with zero bias, so he’s also honest, and kinda funny.
Well Said and Support !
"People were calling him a CCP spy watching Gweilo at every turn."- this really makes me laugh !!!! a good spy does not let others know who they are !!!! how can those anti-china haters be so ignorant ????
You can tell people are so happy living in China, they have all kinds of freedom
For those who still say China has no freedom should take a look
CoasterTurbo freedom as long as you don’t criticize the CCP
Lee Roy the president stuck up for that navy captain and since we have a jackass secretary of defense go figure. Moreover for a retired navy man who served in the army prior with one tour in Germany and two with my dad plus one in the UK and in Hong Kong while some of your readers were in diapers I guess I’ve never been anywhere
Lee Roy it’s a bi polar society oppressed what do you expect ?
Lee Roy in South Dakota being shot to death? They wouldn’t have the nerve. Guess you are a real commie
Lee Roy grow up? I’m a lot more mature than you are-if you think I’m lying, I’ve got photos sir butthead
Gweilo60 (Kirk), is a kind and generous man with a big heart and an open mind. I wish you the best of health and happiness.
Wow, that's amazing. I feel proud as a Nanning citizen.
If this video needs Eng subtitle I can help.
This is what it is! Humans were never meant to he divided!
great introduction to what Gweilo 60 is all about.
Nanning is like your child, you witnessed its growth, the future it will grow very big, very tall, very strong!
Keep up the good work, Kirk.
Guilao your life is sparkling! All the good wishes for you!
Kirk has a wonderful personality. He will always be popular everywhere in China.
Gweilo, a fair, wise man courageous gentleman.
If you love China, Chinese love you, this is China for thousands years…
Aww you and your wife are so cute together! Congrats on your wonderful life there in China.
Your making a good impact Kirk.
I have been pictured in the Chongqing newspapers even played a very small part as an extra in the movie Back to 1942 I actually have a photo taken with a young Canadian on the film set.
believe it or not I even married a young Chinese couple. I think it was the sister who stopped my wife and I while we were out one day and wanted someone from the UK to marry her sister and partner.
Anyway it was all arranged and everything was set for around 400 guests . The big day came and as I read out the sermon the sister translated it into China. I have those photos too.
That was an awesome event and one I will never forget.
One year in Chongqing I was asked to play Santa Clause father Christmas in a 4 or 5 star hotel then afterwards I asked if I could borrow the outfit until the next day..
That night I took a big sack of treats sweets and a shoulder amplifier there I was stood on a small wall with thousands of people around me enjoying the night as I was shouting yo ho ho merry Christmas. The huge crowd were trying to catch the treats I was throwing and the police politely asked if I would stop because they were worried I would cause panic and people would be injured .
I stopped and I will never forget so many happy beaming friendly faces. I think we all made an exit with our Chinese friends and had a great night.
Yep Kirk anything is possible in China.
It's good to have someone that speak and show the truth of China.Thank you Kirk!
Happy life weilo . They love you more than your love. Enjoy 👍
Thank you Gweilo for showing me the real China and I'm truly appreciated that you helped me waking up from those fake news that the western medias had reported. I couldn't help but feeling proud being a Chinese. My next target will be visiting China after the pandemic. Love from Malaysia!
I am proud of just being (small) part of yours journey.
Thanks I appreciate it Ecrush.
Almost got me to tears ,seeing your wife....My wife is also Chinese....Same year as yours I think?? 1970..(But I am a lot younger than you, I am a 1964 model...)She is visiting her family in Guangzhou....We married in China in 2008....A big cheers from Quebec city...PEACE!!!!
Glad to see more of Wei Feng
You are interesting n truthful. You show viewers the daily going ons in the life of ordinary China. Thank you.
Go Kirk Go... Thank you for helping the world to understand China!
What a beautiful and peaceful place !
China being a huge country with 1.4 billion people can never be without any failures or screwups ever. Govt constant struggle and battle to ensure order and progress for its citizens are super challenging. Expectations and synchros between central and provincial govt policy are often misaligned and skewed. It's always work in progress non stop. Fortunately Chinese people are forgiving hardy and patriotic which enable the job to be a bit easier.
congratulations Kirk instead of gweilo60 this time hhh. Good works and please keep going. And as a Chinese, at this rush hour I choose to stay at AU, and I also want to keep telling the truth to ordinary Chinese people, we all love peace, dont be brainwashed by politicians. People around the world should not be divided by so called Oceanic Culture group and Continental Culture group.
hello from Singapore. Love your video since first time watched in Feb 2020. now follow you every video daily! thanks a lot for sharing your views of China. always positive mindset and opening to daily life. I have never been nanning before. But now saw the city, the people, the life many times through your video! For those never been China, trust gweilo's video, that's real life! Do not listen to the BBC CNN, fox, or Taiwan media told u. Go to check with the people staying there! make own judgement from view of ordinary people. They are not suffering there, their life is improving dramatically over last 20years. that is the fact for 99%of Chinese people.
They actually speak Cantonese in Nanning....
I like this Guy, He and his wife have been to my hometown of Penang, Malaysia.
THIS GUY IS A CHINESE WITH A CANADIAN HEART
This guy is a Canadian with Chinese heart.
@@charleschen1408 IF Y MARRY A CHINESE WIFE Y ARE CHINESE FOR SURE
@@palmtree1014 i won't say that... there are many bad people who say they are not racist because they have chinese/asian wives
Kong Kong Yes, the police who knelt on the neck and killed George Floyd had an Asian wife. She divorced him after he was arrested.
I support your platform
What a leisurely n enjoyable life u have : it is everybody’s envy. Stay fit, healthy n happy 😃
Great job! Keep it up!
@8:00 that uncle said "i told you his skill is not good." lol. bad boy, daniel, bad boy! LOL
Gweilo is the man.... Many best wishes to you
Great video. I are now a celebrity.
Great mini-documentary, good to see / hear some Chinese language on this channel about China
nice to see this ! great job!
First time to know your name, Kirk. Cheers.
我从很早之前就觉得，希望有个人来介绍南宁，南宁在旅游方面绝对是个被忽略和低估的城市，它的公园和山都非常漂亮，最近二十年发展非常快
南宁的山不多的。山水还是在南宁的北边，柳州、河池、百色这些地方。南宁周边也有部分，但是不多。
@@unitedsnakes3081 很多年前去过，记得是城市边上的山，山上还有铁树。新城那边有个公园，很大，有点纽约中央公园的味道，人也不是很多，反正对南宁印象很好
@@李群说-京剧脸谱 南宁号称绿城。现在比几年前发展得更好了。 主要想靠省内其他地市的人来托起来的，加上中央的支持。但是本身产业并不多。相当于东盟的面子工程。主要是当地人也比较容易满足，大部分人都很乐观，可能是热带地区的人都是这样的，没有太大的野心，能安居乐业就可以了。当地人都非常友善，你可以走在街上可以非常放松的。
@@unitedsnakes3081 过去因为跟越南关系不好，南宁基本没有大的基建投入，这些年，东盟会馆，新区开发，南宁真的很不错，什么时候再去看看。
去过南宁一次，还去了大明山做茶～很喜欢那里。主要是北方人，和山里人沟通有点语言不通…
happy wife, happy life
What's a guy, just love what he is doing and speak what he see.
Lucky man also got a wonderful wife and he so much in love with his environments and peoples surrounding him. You just can't ask more than that when you retired ! Can you?
Well done mate. U r making a difference. albeit modest it s a lot more than most of us sheeple.
you are best of best
I enjoy every video of yours. Hope to meet up with you someday. Keep healthy & regards to you & Wei Fong.
Kirk! Could you PLEASE add English subtitles that we can enable via TH-cam? Cheers!
Support gweilo support Kirk
Thanks . I love you !
I think medias should show more positive aspect of life to help promoting a harmonious world than a hate society.
Gweilo, congratulation .Supper beer man .
Living the good life Gweilo
Good Introduction, will visit Nanning once my country Malaysia open up.
Great video and lovely cat.
Gweilo is getting popular in the world.
