- My friend Jim and I walked thru Xia He, an old Chinese village in Ningbo, China. This community will be replaced with a highway in the near future. Jim has formed a bond with the community over the months he has been in China on business and frequently walked the village taking pictures with his authentic film camera. We discuss the past, the future and the characters living there, and reflect on the microcosm that exists there.

Matt and Jim, you guys have shown the best of America, kindness, generosity and tolerance. Make America truly great again.
Totally agree. America was great when it was opening its doors to refugees, not when building walls and putting kids in cages.
American use to be a great country, not anymore
absolutely
Exactly right
But is is a little ironic when the domestic American people are not so kindness, generosity and tolerance
hey matt, please do more village tours like this. the more village tours in china you do, the better. also bring jim along with you to take pictures.
haha... yea.. it took him a long time to earn the village's trust... it would be hard to replicate like this every time.
@@JaYoeNation Perhaps is like you said but I find the Chianese people very friendly wherever I went all way prepper to help even if you do not ask for it, one day I was at the train station in Fuzhou with big luggage and I was supposed to go up the staircase when a person comes to me leave down his luggage took my up the stairs, and that is not the single time that I receive help fro them a lot of time I have told them that it was not necessary but they all way insist to help me
@@mauromorganti2563 general speaking, Chinese are very innocent and warm people. If they see someone in a difficult situation, they would help. It’s just a natural human being reaction.
I feel so peaceful watching this video.
Completely agree
me too
In 1975 I was 15 years old I went to Korea with my father in the Army and our family. Korea was recovering from the war , 25 years after the Korean War and it looks very similar to The Village that you visited there. A lot of the smaller aspects of the town that I visited , they had modern buildings too coming up, but a lot of the people lived in houses very similar to that
So it brought back memories and I can appreciate your enjoyment in seeing the way people live that's different than us in the United States. Enjoy yourselves.
Ningbo is such an amazing place. There is something really special about chinese villages and it´s people. We love to visit our coworkers home hometowns or 老家，there is something amazing everywhere we go, but specially the wamth of their family and the home made food there. Thanks for the inspiration, next time I go i will upload a video in my channel so more people get to know what it's like. Great video!!
I thought it was 家乡，anyway i'd love to see what it's like!
@@jjc2790 I think it can be both
Cant wait to watch the video!!
I love China and its people, its culture, its gastronomy, I am impressed with the technology, thanks to youtubers like you, we can "know about the wonders of that country. Greetings
I saw Mexicans in China and I stopped in your comment, I am Mexican and I love everything about China, I gave a little tour of your channel and I loved it. Congratulations, greetings from Mexico
This video is precious! This is exactly what happened in many other places in China!
beautiful photos, beautiful people and beautiful hearts to all of u guys!!
Fantastic video man !! What a lovely thing to do for the villagers
thanks Alex... on to the CQ Videos!!!!!
the JaYoe Nation yep, looking forward to seeing them 😀😀
*It was very nice to get back to my travel vlog. I hope you like it.*

Nice to see you out and about again...
I just bought the book haha, I love to support Jim's way of capturing history. This is a very cool project. I enjoy this travel vlog a lot. Thanks guys.
@@anson1l thats awesome..
I can't buy the book, Matt. The link didn't work for me
@@AmelieZh bummer....
What you and Jim doing is really meaningful. China is developing so fast, more and more this kind of villages are disappeared. The city is expanding and all looks similar, photos and films help to record the different living situation we ever experienced.
This was a joy to watch. What a beautiful time capsule x
Excellent street photography, James has a beautiful kind soul💖, thank you for video Jayou👍😊
It's very generous and kind of Jim to have given the disabled girl a much better walker and Matt you've shown sensitivity not to shoot too much footage of her. But her joy of having the new walker is very moving. Thank you very much for this great video! You're the light shining through the dark clouds of Trump and Pompeo who are Hell bent to destroy the China-US relationship that took almost five decades of efforts from both countries to build. From your videos of China, I can see a glimmer of hope in our two countries' future.
Yea. I wanted to show her smiling but I didn’t want to show too much. I tried to be balanced. It was a nice gesture
As a Chinese lives in rural area in southern China myself, I feel happy and sad at the same time seeing this video, the happy part is that some foreigners record and show the true picture/moments of ordinary Chinese people, their life & thoughts and the development and changes of China in a respect, admirable and friendly manner. The sad part is that we Chinese rarely record these kind of moments ourselves, which will become precious memories and history resources in the future. We focus on modernization, urbanization and industrialization too much,pay less attention to think about protecting culture reservation, therefore more and more culture buildings, customs and life style are disappearing...I wish our central government do something to prevent the situation getting worse, promote our culture, balance the culture reservation and development.
A random name , lol, a Chinese living in southern China! without being aware of the great numbers of cultural sites being preserved and turning into great tourist attractions now! Be positive and not pretend and look up on the abundance of information available on the Internet or just travel around China! Anyways have a nice day, cheers and be save
You don't have to rely on the government for everything. Nobody is stopping you from bringing a camera, wandering around and taking interesting pictures.
@@tiangcs8069 Of course what you said about turning cultural sites into tourist sites is true, however most of the tourist sites are in the big cities. A lot of old buildings/architectures in the undeveloped area have been teared down to build high rises, highways, airports, train stations high speed rails, industry parks...I don't know whether I should be happy about that, it's hard to say this kind of changes are negative because development can let us live a better life, but when I travel to different cities, I feel these cities look almost the same -- a world made of steel and cement, the scenery I read from history books & journals, the footage I saw in the documentaries now can only be seen in attraction sites and history dramas, I feel upset and regret. Anyway, maybe I should be positive about current situation and the future, thanks for your suggestion.😅
@@oceanbreeze2663 yup you are absolutely right, but here in China, we ordinary people see our government as an elder parent so if we have some desires which can't be done by our own, we tend to ask our government to do for us...😬, as for bringing a camera to record our life, I think not everyone has the time, money & photograph skills to do so, at least, I am not the one 😓
不识庐山真面目，只缘身在此山中
With the urbanization of many eastern coastal cities including Ningbo, many of the locals have moved to urban areas to live a better life. There instead, have housed the elder people who refuse to move and immigrants from inner provinces who work in the factories. Appreciate it that you have touched an example of these touching and historically remarkable stories.
Enjoyed the video, reminded me of my first trip to China in 2002, I never take photos of random people in the States, but in China it comes easy.
I often watch your videos. But this one! Oh, so beautiful. It really captures life and culture of that wonderful village. Jim takes really great photos. Thank you for sharing.
Jim is a nice guy, thanks for sharing this
This is quite touching. I miss the sense of community captured in this video, the kind I too experienced when I was very small.
This is a real China!Thank you Matt for giving us a so beautiful video!
It’s a wonderful and meaningful video Matt and Jim. You guys are great! Way to go...
I loved to see this Matt I had a factory in Ningbo, Beilun with a village next to it just like this. A great video reminder. Thanks
Thanks for sharing the love. You made my day.
This is epic, as you guys capture the history with photos and videos. Jim is the true photographer, who can connect with the subjects in the picture with respect and a warm heart.
Every country that has gone through industrialization has experienced the mass migration from rural to urban areas and China is no exception.
Is there a better way? I don't want to leave the countryside, it carries a lot of my wonderful childhood!
exactly..
a new subscriber here Matt. This video is awesome. I grew up in HK but am familiar with villages like this in my parents' home town in Dongguan. The music that goes along hits the nostalgia in me. A truly enjoyable piece. Thanks.
Wow, that's really awesome
I have lived in Shanghai for almost 3 years now, but yet didn't have much time to travel to some remote villages and see the real life there compared to modern Shanghai.
Thanks for sharing!
Просто о Китае I lived in Shanghai from 1935 to 1949. Many places in Shanghai just like places Matt showed.
@@charleschen1408 well yea, but it's hard to find some remote old village here. They're being teared down really fast
2014年那会有这样的地方（三林）,现在已经成工地了。，现在也有，只不过在比较偏远非商业地区
Thanks for the little history piece on the village for those people Jim and Matt God Bless You guy.
Great one guys thank you so much.
I am living in China for 9 years. Its the safest place to live in.
Maybe you can travel to other countries.
I think maybe this might be the best video yet. This might be your thing 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Cools sir , support your idea for the banner , villagers will love its .
Alway feel touched when seeing people with warm hearts.
Bless u two...lovely n precious video n pic...Thx.
I spent my childhood in a village like this.It gave me lots of memory that I can't see anymore in the citys.
Great travelogue video....love the Chris Shards music interlude "Always with you"
Thank you so much for making this world a better place. Salute!
You are so kind, thank you very much.
This is so peaceful to watch
Thanks for showing the reality to the world.
The true love and empathy for those people is to make them live a better quality of life, rather than visiting them from people’s own modern life once or twice and took a picture or two, crying for “they are gonna lose their heritage” just to satisfy themselves (I’m no saying the authors). Everyone deserves modern life style.
Loved this vlog much respect to both of you guys. Greetings from South Africa
I think a mural is an awesome idea!
Jim, you have a good heart. Respect! And Matt, JaYoe! Best regards to both of your families, and thank you!
This is great! Love learning about the culture!!!
this is a really interesting episode, like always, great job! Matt
and Jim of course
Thanks. From both of us.
very real video and photoes of rural areas in China
Hello Matt and Jim,good work.
Great job! wish to see more of this kind of video: road less traveled, touching images, unbiased comments. Hope to see follow ups on how these people will be relocated and taken care of in the years to come.
Peaceful easy feeling in China.
this is a interesting Vlog Matt.
I enjoyed a lot this episode, the story, the background music, the editing in general, great content !
虽然中国还有很多穷和落后的地方，但人民的幸福度，朴实度 都很好，看看他们的笑容~~那是发自内心的
Mann, even some Chinese now does not notice this kind of village existing. I got say your are great guy to record some real China! Nice guy😀
So nice of Jim!
You guy's are the best...👍
glad to see this video. no police stop you from shooting videos?
Thanks Matt for a great video..
Very positive. Miss the old china.
The kitten is so cute.
Respect and thanks
Is this a re upload? I think I have watched this before, and the Chongqing trip was while ago.
nope... you never saw this before. you saw the 3 gorges dam video early because i thought it was important to get them out quickly.... then you saw some livestreams when i was on the ground in Chongqing.... what will come up next will be the prepared and edited videos from my time in Chongqing. A little confusing.. but you will see.
Wow! Wonderful video!! 💪
The ad was for epoxy flooring.
Good story enjoyed it!
Re the two boys you took picture of, why you stopped the taller one from raising his hand to make a peace sign?
there are so many other villages like this in china. they won't disappear..
六老师突然出镜
Every country needs infrastructural development in order to drive forward industrialisation and economic growth. Building a highway will connect the village of to the rest of China and Asia, and open up access to both domestic trade and international trade.
Fantastic video!
It is not good that Jim did not allow the two boys to show “V” gesture when Jim was taking pictures.
Is that a manual camera? Wow.
Indeed a great project. I know it is necessary but I do feel sad. I hope they can build another village for them, not high rise apartments. Those people, kids, dogs, cats can continue living in an open but a better version micro-community.
By the way, just wanted to let Jim know, I could only buy the kindle version of his photobook on Amazon. Unfortunately, they don't let you zoom, so I can't really see the details in the photos on my phone screen. :( Or maybe I just don't know how to use the kindle app...
mural yes
3:42 "stay back... we must observe physical distancing"
这种带着善良反应中国的现实社会，我觉得非常好！
33:00 taking a picture of a Chinese kid, is actually a praise to the parent. That is the different.
look at that camera!!!
Me: Lived in China #memories popped up
TH-cam: got recommended this video
Me during live streaming: commented that I saw Kobe's photo on the wall next to the Chinese Flag @36:10,
Knew he was loved dearly in China
the JaYoe Nation: replied me
Live stream: ended before I say Thank you
Me: subscribed lol
Great job!!!! your father is a profesional
这就是真实的中国农村
宁波农村都这样，不过这个村像待拆迁的样子了
the new will come and the old will gone it sad but everything will be ok
All people are same in every country, they love each other. Respect.
Thank you matt for your answer
Mad respect to the both of you. I loved the content, the choice of music, and the stories behind the pictures. It is obvious how genuine the intentions and reactions were between the you guys and the people in the village. keep it up Matt.
Perhaps I can do something similar in my city. Ji'an has a lot well kept villages that are protected by the local government.
I love Jian. Lots of personalities there.
@@JaYoeNation I have some pictures I took a couple of years back of an old village that you can check out in my facebook
Agian, your video is so healing and peacful in this noisy youtube world.
I couldn't put it better!!!
This was the best video of the year, I think.
Two dislike voters of this video are laowhy 86 and Serpentza.
Navaneeth Velluva lol
@@jmac8092 laowhy 86 and Serpentza are undoubtedly stupid
Lol
@@mmorpg9564 They make money by this and they are not honest to their heart.
劉玉晨 they are not stupid .. they are scammers and opportunist making an dishonest living .
This was wonderful Matt, I grew up on a farm in Ohio, and this really spoke to me. The picture of the man planting vegetables with the encroachment of a factory behind him, I literally cried, I know the people may benefit from the change, but what is lost cannot be replaced. Thank for showing this.
Matt and Jim prove the kind and generous spirit of Americans, and their capacity to love humanity.
Isn't it dangerous to run around like this in America?
@@上杉レター No.
Charity begins at home!! BLM
@@mwafrikahalisi2549 China is home for Matt. What does BLM have to do with this?
@@elizabethblane201 My comment was directed at you, not Matt...
CHINA IS SO RICH IN HISTORY... MY FAVORITE WATCH IS CHINESE FANTASY DRAMA... #1 UNTAMED... AWESOME SERIES...陈情令 Awesome, Ancient, Wise... Look beyond politics... 99% are just like you and me... Not going is a loss, believing people that never went is sad...China is to be lived, not judged..
Well commented!
The original novel is much better TBH...
I Hate Toy Story 4 Your apparent country with “no history” has 55 unesco world heritage sites ranked number 1 in the whole world along with Italy... try doing some research first? There’s a cultural exploration program called national treasure, it’s quite fun and relatively easy to understand for people who don’t major in history related subjects, you can try giving that a go if you are not a documentary/history textbook person...
When you demolish such towns it becomes less rich in history.
This awesome episode is 40 minutes, it took me 1 hour+ to finish watching. I had to pause many times to enjoy Jim's wonderful work. Great editing Matt! 👍👍👍 Masterpiece!
Everything looks very interesting through Jim's eyes.
The socks on the wall? The chicken hanging on the electricity line? A collage of photos on the billboard. I'd love to go on a trip with Jim, which will sure be lots of fun.
You guys are what made America great. So Sorry for the current madness that's the current trend. Thanks for the moment of sanity.
Totally disagree.
So sorry I couldn't get on for your premiere on time, but I rewound this while you were still live, this was absolutely touching to watch🥰 Jim is such a beautiful soul, I love your idea about displaying the village's pictures on the billboard ❤ thanks Matt
Your friend has a big heart ❤️ blessings
13:08 "The one who steals my vegetables is a bastard" --Whiteboard
hahahahhahahaha classic
hahahahha
Your friend Jim is such a wonderful man! Am sure the villagers will be forever grateful that he has documented a period of their lives in many of the great shots. That gift of a walker was such a thought gesture. I am sure the woman will remember Jim for a long, long time!
oops, should read "thoughtful gesture" instead of "thought gesture"
Thank you so much. Lovin' China the more I see it.
That kid knock me down when he said my name is "LaoWai" and Matt replied I'm Chinese LOL
Thats the kind of balls that will either get you great places in life or killed.. i know firsthand ^^
@@zanetusken Yes, I bet you Matt did not expect that and he was very cheeky. Good on him as he is a kid.
Jim observes deep into the village people's ordinary non-fancy life. I don't know why but I find it really touching. Taking someone's photos and printing them out and giving the photo book to them, that's some interesting gesture. 😄
