  • We really loved filming this video, YeYe is quite the character and was all too happy to show us what a day in his life was like. For a man in his 80s, he has a lot of energy and we were pretty tired after following him around for the day. This video is a bit different from our usual videos but we hope you love it as much as we do.

      I love Chinese people. I'm from the United States 🇺🇸.
      Fortunately there's a way to not suffer, not be in danger, not be poor, not get hurt, not have to work in vain, not have to feel any kind of negative vibe, and not to get tired anymore.
      Imagine you will be invincible, immortal, and holy with a new, upgraded body to the core! Imagine everyone around you will be the same as you. Isn't that a delightful thought? It's true you or anyone can have eternal life.
      All you got to do is to accept Jesus Christ 🙏 as your Savior! Once you do, He will let you into heaven during your day when you finally see Him!

    Hi,Nico.
    Sorry.I have to leave a comment which has nothing to do with the video this time.
    The outbreak spread from Nanjing international airport seems pretty much wildly spread already,5 provinces over 8 cities have found cases linked to Nanjing airport or Zhangjiajie tourist site,I saw news yesterday afternoon even Beijing had 2 confirmed cases linked to the outbreak from Nanjing and quarantined over 200 direct contact.
    Until this moment Nanjing city still haven’t published a full contact tracing list,myself and all my friends in Nanjing assume the local authorities there fked it up this time and they have already lost tracking,means quarantine every close contact and let everything back to normal is mostly impossible by now.
    Almost all my friends in Nanjing were pissed,and they told me a lot of people are attacking local authorities online for their slow response,even the PCR test in the city wasn’t well organized,and people in Nanjing even have to check the statement from other provinces to confirm this outbreak was caused by Delta variant.
    Please take care and maybe not travel until we could see the bottom of this round of outbreak,I do believe it won’t takes that long.
    Stay safe and stay healthy.:)

      Therefore if you want to spend eternity on heaven after your life here on earth 🌎, you should believe in your heart ❤️ that Jesus Christ is your Savior. If you don't, you will miss going to heaven and end up in the lake of fire. It is terrible so I beg you to make the only correct decision for God to allow you to go to heaven. Jesus Christ is the only way to eternal life. 🙏 Have a nice day.

      My family is from Fujian province, and all over Fujian. From what I’ve been told, I born in a very small town in Longyan, (龙岩), I don’t even remember exactly what is the name of the town, but all I know is that it’s near where the Tulou 土楼is. The time I went to visit, my grandmother took me into a mountain, like a deep mountain if I remember it currently, where people farm on the mountain slopes, and we have to walk all those mountain ghats to get to each houses of her old relatives.
      My favorite place is where my grandma from. It’s call Guanling(馆岭), a very small place, the main road to get there is right by the sea, and you see a lot of boats on the shore and ports, also people drying the fishing nets on the side of the path that leads you into the main part of the town. I don’t know if you can call it a fishing town? But it has a lot of seafood products, it just smells like a sea.
      I remember when I was little some one told me that if I stand on the cliff where the buses from outside stops, in a good clear day, I can see Taiwan on the other side of the sea. But I have actually never seen it myself though.
      Oh! I gotta share with you, a public toilet on the mountain that people build! It was just too shocking to me as a little child, it has burned into my brain! I will try my best to describe it!
      So, I don’t remember exactly which town that was, on a small hillside of the mountain, there was a pit( or a small valley, I don’t know what’s the best word to call it) few meters high from the bottom, and there was a small wooden house( aisle?) build over the pit, (almost like a bridge). Then you walk in, small doorless compartments on left and right side. And there was nothing but a strip of a open floor were you can see the bottom of the pit from few meters high! That’s where to do the business. And you can find other peoples poopoo and toilet paper between all the plants and leaves down there! AND! I once walk passed that house, I! SAW! A poo! Dropped down from the bottom. And I already knew I will probably remember that scene for the rest of my life...
      Anyhow, those are what I remembered from over 10 years ago. I’ve been live in the US for about 10 years now, I know China changed a LOT in the pass 10 years, and I never had a chance to go back to see it. So I honestly have no idea how all of those old towns are up to today.

      Right! Big cities are too much hustle for the old generation to cope in, it’s very comforting to be surrounded by the familiar old neighbours who grew up with them the whole life.

      My grandma Nainai, is the same. She rather stay in the village in the big house by herself, with all her old friends around, than living with us in the big city without any friends. She rather works everyday in the field and taking care of crops than watching TV and relax on sofa. Instead forcing her to live with us, my parents installed a CCTV in the village house, so they can check on her everyday just in case anything happens.

    The farmer is amazing. The narrator is contrived, cheesy, and mostly useless. I mean, this guy has a lifetime of lived experience but no attempt is made to unpack anything. I can't decide if the narrator lacks basic depth or is just poorly hiding thinly veiled contempt for this guy.
