- I am going to prove to you that Chinese people are super friendly, I've always maintained that Chinese people are by far and in large very friendly and hospitable, however if you read my comments section you would be excused for thinking that they're horrible, disgusting xenophobic racists. This is true only for the 50cent keyboard warriors and the ultranationalistic over sensitive homebodies who suffer from a lack of self worth, so let's go out on the street and talk to some real Chinese people and find out if they're friendly or not...

You are doing so much for the international understanding, which I would like to say thank you from the heart!
Yes, absolutely!
That wasn't cringy, that was probably my favourite serpentza video, he looks so bloody happy aha.
Chinese folks are friendly, last year i moved from south florida to Albany NY, and around the corner from where I live is a Chinese takeout, and the woman who runs the Chinese takeout befriended me, we became quick friends, and I help her out with her children and they love me very much, three months later she says I'm considered family, and she considers me her older brother, and in July I'll be going to fujian with her daughter, and staying at her mother's house, I say a few words to her mother through WeChat, I don't know much Chinese but I say what I can. I'm so grateful that they have befriended me, and taking me in as family, happiest point in my life right now... I can't wait to get too China!
Fujian people are great too! One of the friendlier provinces, in that they will go out of their way to make you happy.
Merinsan,,, this is very true they are so friendly, im so grateful to have this family in my life..
Spastika buddy! Heel Hedler 8^)
Fujian people are GOOD..i am here now, peace.
Angel Velazquez South Florida to Albany? That sucks
I owe you an apology, I used to think you were a conceded person with a raging ego but I'm starting to see the person behind that. you are very logical with hints of emotion that sometimes makes you look bad but I'm noticing that's just the way you say things, I have this same issue, my voice is very aggressive and my tones don't come out right. anyways I hope you keep on keeping on. watching this channel has really widened my view of the background cultures behind cultures.
+Julio Gulio thanks mate
wow is this the internet? a rare sight above, great to see!
I bet he's Aries.
its not an issue, everybody beeing super sensitive and not listening is:)
serpentza to be honest it's actually not his fault.
It's the south African in him.
My wife is also South African and sometimes people feel they are rude etc.
But in fact it's just the way they talk.
They tend to be very up front and honest about how they see the world.
This video just makes me happy
Same, this put the biggest smile on my face. :P
Yes, when I got to the end of this video I realised I'd been beaming all the way through it. It looks like it was fun to shoot, and it was definitely fun to watch.
People are saying this was cringe, I think it was cringly awsome!
I think this is the most positive video on the channel.
Minastir1 Well, it shows the truth
Anyone that thinks this is cringe needs to get out more hahaha.
Um...the new use of "cringe" as an adjective makes me cringe. ;) But yeah, I agree.
Great fun. My impression of China has change so much since I started watching Winston’s videos years ago.
Super steady footage. I like the smiles in this video. Good vibes throughout!
"Hey uncle! Are you well?" "sup"
My favorite interaction in the video.
Welcome to another veeedeeeooooo
Bhavikh weycum to anaddah weedayyoh
Anybody that can learn a new language, even if it may not be perfect, is doing better than most people. I speak from my own failure.
Haha yeah I like the way she says that she's cute
Her English is like a thousand times better than my Chinese.
I didn't realize our biology had a western slant.
We Chinese also love guests like you from all over the world. Have a good time!
I'm actually going to spend my junior year of high school in China (Qingdao) I'm so excited to live in this wonderful place!!!
Evan Olsen don't do it!
Matthew Gill .
RexXflash I'm actually trying to enjoy my Highschool years and make the most of instead having a mindset of "This sucks, Let's get this over with". You wasted your Highschool years I'm not going to waste mine
Evan Olsen Qingdao is a beautiful place similar to Hawaii weather
u pick a better place than Beijing and Shanghai, Qingdao is beautiful
Awesome to see GLOBIK here!
the JaYoe Nation awesome to see YOU here!! ;)
Love watching every Chinese person who walks past you in these videos turn around and do a double take. You can pause the video at any time and one person is always looking in the camera. Not anything bad about that, just something that stands out to me!
I love how "loose" your translations are in the captions. When you shook the eating kid's hand, you said, "xie xie", and the caption read, "you too champ" LOL. :P
the perfect video to end on a high note… I really really love this one.
Started watching your channel almost two years ago. I've watched maybe 95% of all you videos. For a long time I was just speeding through to catch up. Then maybe 6months ago you mentioned something about the haters so I started reading all your comments section. Well!, I couldn't believe all the people who trolled you just to leave a negative comment. Now I knew about some of the negative trolling done on Twitter but there some of your commenters take the cake. I enjoy watching your videos, I enjoy your personality, your perspective, your frankness. Can I be blunt here--I don't give a shit about what anyone else thinks. If they don't like you or your videos then DON'T WATCH! It's that simple. I'll be watching!
I am confuse about a lot of trolling online.I find a phenomenon that aome cyber citizens refuse to admit the truth of China and be obsessed at the sinities of China which are always broadcasted by western medias.
Because of you serpentza,I feel as if I have almost been to china. Thanks so much for the cheap ticket my friend!
In defense of evil uncles ...
I think it's important to have a few intolerant people around. If we view a society as a super-organism, they act a little like our immune system, treating new comers with suspicion, testing them out and putting pressure on an unknown to see if it'll fit or not.
Too much diversity is just as toxic as too little.
I nearly went with a virus checker analogy :D. But software environments are relatively closed systems compared to nations.
That is why carbohydrates that are attached to the surface of the cell membrane of proteins and lipids can serve as recognition signals. Glycolipid focus on cell recognition and glycoproteins focus on cell adhesion. When a glycoprotein recognizes a foreign substance to be a bacteria, it calls the white blood cell as an act of immune system and the white blood cell may kill the bacteria by engulfing the bacteria by phagocytosis and killing it with digestive enzymes.
Winston is the only one to openly talk about it so far... I'm willing to bet if you ask C-Milk or Prozzie they well tell you the same as Winston.
I think he's mostly just being whimsical. You have to admit, 'evil uncle' is kinda tongue-in-cheek and, I think, funny. At most they seem to be an occasional irritant for him, nothing more. I could be wrong though ...
Loved this video of open interaction with strangers with such positivity. This video resonates with me heaps in how I think anyone should approach another, because as Winston said, if you approach people with a positive attitude meaning a genuine smile on the face, open arms and light but confident tone of voice, even those who speak another language will love you!
Thank you so much, Serpentza. This is so helpful, and assuring! 💝👍
People say cringe, but you're proving a point, i hope you stay and make videos for along as possible i like your videos.
I like it
first view? neat. ily serpentza
Awesome!
serpentza nah homie, you're awesome :)
+serpentza its true that chinese people are friendly..quick to make a friend.. but it is very hard to get girlfriend specially who have brown or dark skin. i feel that in canada..mostly they like white skin..they are recist.
You mad because they don't like your filthy smell?
+sup2320 No..i have brown skin and they think that white skin are handsome. and also money matters.
Found your videos randomly and now working my way through them. I love your content.
+Derek B awesome, thanks mate
Great video! Positivity is infectious!
uplifting video! well done yet again!
I like you talk with evil uncles, actually they r so cute
One of the most enjoyable videos so far.
great video Winston!! brought everyone a smile
Never been so early before!
Why is it that everytime this guy posts a video there are a hundred thousand assholes making comments that are completely off topic and totally against the context? Winston is honest, friendly, and totally objective!
Hater's gonna hate they hate us 'cause they ain'tus
You could have said "ten thousand assholes" and scored bonus points.
@Mr. Truth: Correction: "Haters gonna hate. They hate us 'cause they anus."
Your blog today made me happy. Thank you.
Really enjoy watching all your videos while I am studying aboard. It feels like I never left Shenzhen. By the way, thumb up for that 犀利哥.
I love you too serpentza!
you are the real Lil Tay :D
@@tellmey1 not the real lil tay
@@marcusplayz1236 but when I click the profile it goes to her youtube channel?
@@tellmey1 yeah
this video deserves a million hits. makes me want to visit china.
+Joshua Rousseau thanks mate!
I am excited to be visiting China in June. Thank you for providing so much helpful information.
Awesome video Winston, love the positivity!
This was heartwarming 😊
He's wearing a suit in China. Do you think he can handle that? ;-D
棒棒哒!
This is just one happy video!😁 I am traveling to china in september this year, and I am so appreciative of your videos! Thanks a lot, and stay awesome!😄
Awesome vid serpantza
Now, many Chinese people may feel they are too friendly to foreigners. Foreigners seem to have a natural privilege, especially white foreigners. An ordinary white foreigner can easily become a star in China everywhere. Actually, this is common in many Eastern Asian countries, even in Japan. Personally, I don't think this is a serious problem. But many Chinese don't think so. For these reason, this video may not appease Chinese nationalists, but provokes them further.
Ive noticed this as well. I think thats why in Nanjing, most 南京人 treat laowai like shit. I guess this is their way of "correcting the problem."
This is my 7th time watching your videos and you've started to look like the Mormon missionary.
Mon < Mormon < Evenmormon < Pokémon
Hey Mormons are cool, I am one
I like this episode so much. It is very inspiring. Thanks for the video. Keep going man!
What a great video!
It makes me happy.
Honestly I really resent the fact that most Chinese people are friendly to foreigners but a little indifferent to their countrymen. Take HongKong, for example, the local residents will respect you if you're a westerner, whilst you will be unfriendly treated if you are from the mainland. Another example is Shanghai where you will be called "redneck" by the locals if you're from out of town. A couple of years ago when I was in HongKong, I witnessed how incredibly friendly a lot of staff were to English-speaking foreign customers in some shopping malls. However, when I asked them in Mandarin something about the item I intended to buy, they even ignored me as if I didn't exist. What a sharp contrast! No offence serpentza but please don't jump to the hasty conclusion that Chinese people are extremely friendly. It really depends on who you are and where you come from.
nah, i went to HK and had some problems with a local. not true
Average Joesson I like your comparison between England/Europe and HK(formal British colony)/China.
This is a historical issue. HongKong had been the British colony for almost 100 years untill 1997 when the UK handed it back to China, which has led to the fact that there is a huge difference in culture, lifestyle and values between Hongkongers and the people from the mainland. This might be one of the reasons why both parties still can hardly get along well with one another, and some don't consider themselves Chinese as you said.
yinstube u are not alone!
yinstube i am here with u
Welcome to China 🤣
your beautiful ❤
Thank you for this amazing video. Bravo!
Another great video!! keep up winston!
in China we call this video "save of face"
Lol, face culture is all over Asia. Japan, Korea, & SEA are all probably way bigger in that aspect.
WELCOME TO CHINA：D
Wow!!! Love this Q and A style video!!
From all the video's I've watched from you and Matthew Galat, it seems like everyone in China is friendly, always smiling and easy going!! Another great job Serpentza!!!
Feels like propaganda. Yeah they are friendly, until something happens then they turn on you because it was always for face.
after you said I love China, I love Chinese people. I subscribe your channel.
Thanks for the awesome video bud, love what your doing and please keep up the great work!
Great video Winston - happy vibe!
How awkward was this to film?
+andrew0mckean not too bad, I have a thick skin
hi winston question for you please have you and t-milk ever been knocked off your motor bikes. i have lived in beijing for 7 years so of course i know chinese driving standards very well.( i use to drive 44 tonne petrol tankers in uk for total oil)but would i risk driving in china no way ha ha. love all your true and honest videos. i am also married to a chinese girl. ignore all the trolls even if you did or said nothing wrong you will still find these people crawling out from under their rocks. remember 153 thousand cannot all be wrong about you.
No the people in your country are friendly. How dare you assume all Chinese people are friendly.
*Canada intensifies*
when the joke goes over your head.
aleks' joke went over your head.
this guy is just showing the friendly parts, purposefully trying to 黑 our country. he doesnt even know the real china!
Skiddla all of China real China,Hubei,Xianjang,Shenzen is all real China.
I stumbled on your channel
2 weeks ago, going through every single video, and I know in the bottom of my gut after seeing the culture everything that I should start a new life in China. You are a very, very wonderful person, I hope you know how appreciated you are.
Great video, man!
What is the "evil uncle" thing about?
Older generation from the Cultural Revolution is more suspicious of foreigners
If you watched the Communist Spies try to Shut me Down!
you'll get it.
Ok cool.
There's a link in the description
This is hilarious, you literally went up and said 'I'm making a video about how friendly Chinese people are, smile and take a video with me!' They loved it, played right into their nationalist hands...
I wonder if they can find a way to spin this one negatively. Big inspiration to my channel mate, cheers!
They dont need to spin it.
it is already negative.
I speak Chinese and all he said is "can we take a picture?" No need to be rude and try to insult Chinese people. There is good and bad people everywhere.
This video is great Winston! Keep up the great work!
Great video Winston!
Welkam to Anada Vidio
_OH SHIT_ whattup
I think it's endearing
only if your white winston only if you are white
I would call it the "arms white open" welcome. ;-D
What else would you be?
So glad you guys eclipsed your Kickstarter goal, good luck with the filming can't wait to see the finished product! Best of luck & stay safe.
Loved this video, well done sir.
Winston, in my opinion, you really need to think about why so many Chinese people keep leaving mean comments to your videos. I am Chinese and I have watched a lot of your videos, some of your remarks or opinions in your videos were not true facts of China or Chinese people, those remarks and opinions really made me feel uncomfortable, I also think you are sometimes biased and somehow feel superior to other Chinese people just because of the color of your skin. As a subscriber of your channel, I am telling you what I really think. You have been living in China for over 10 years and your wife is also Chinese, I would like to suggest you to learn some remarks that Confucius said: 吾日三省吾身, it literally means: people need to introspect often. That's all I want to tell you, finally, I hope you enjoy your life in China and look forward to more videos on your channel. All the best!
Here is the difference between our cultures, critical thought. In China many people seem to have an issue with someone criticizing them where in the west we are less collective culturally and thus people are less concerned if someone criticizes the group. We are more individualistic and this much our our egos are personally not collective or national. Neither is right or wrong its just different and something to understand. To flip your argument maybe you should look within to see why any remarks make you feel uncomfortable?
你说了半天说了个鸡吧！英文说不明白就就算了，中文也鸡吧说不明白。Confucius was an old fuck who probably did not even exist? 呵呵，中国那么多历史学者，专家，考古学家都没你明白？该干嘛干嘛去吧
Try to look at those videos relating to US and/or American news and whenever there were negative comments about US, the usual comments were, "If you don't like it here, why don't you leave?"
It doesn't show tolerance for negative comments by most Americans, right?
you are racist. thats why you leave negative comments.

I. am pakistani I love china
Muhammad Iqbal haha, Pakistani has good image in china. We think you guys are big supporters
Your drone-shots are fantastic. I love them !!
Always great videos.
I fell like the Chinese won't be to friendly to foreigners anymore because of United airlines and the tensions of North Korea
the man is Vietnamese , not Chinese.
Yes I am aware but jayo has gotten yelled at by many Chinese people calling him a traitor and stuff
At first, many Vietnamese people were also gloating and clapping, because those Vietnamese thought that the doctor was Chinese . But then those Vietnamese heard that the doctor was Vietnamese, they immediately angry, and they claimed to resist the United Airlines, but later learned that United Airlines did not have a direct flight to Vietnam.
SO funny. haha
All the Chinese i knew were FURIOUS and MORTIFIED about the United incident. Then the second they found out the dude on United was Vietnamese they all stopped caring.
Japanese people are supa friendly
Love your stuff man, keep going
Hey man I just wanna say that I love your videos and your enthusiasm to show people what China is truly like. I'm actually from Shenzhen, and it's very interesting to see how you approach this city from a different perspective because of the cultural differences. Also, as I decided to move to the US for education in the recent years, I experienced some cultural shocks just like you did when you moved to China. There's always upside and downside to everything, same here in the US, but I always make my best effort to make friends and learn the culture over here. Thus I appreciate that you show China like how it is, without avoiding talking about the negative side of it. I find that you really have some deep experience of Chinese culture and society, which makes your videos more of a real life reflection rather than just stereotypes. Anyway, I'll be going back to Shenzhen soon, and hope that I can encounter you on the street somewhere in Shenzhen. Stay awesome!!^
There is something so cringey and awkward about this man. Maybe its a South-African thing.
what utter nonsense, the quality has seriously dropped on these videos, this guy is now just putting out videos for putting out videos sake, just for the money ....... i guess the drinking is now seriously getting in the way
He has no job. He relies on videos for a living. What can you expect from him? He uses bashing China as click bait for long. He deliberately polarize his views, distorts some facts, to arouse attention/criticism/fight for click's sake...
he doesn't even make enough money on his videos to support his livelihood, he has a job lol...
dont like it dont watch him! no one will miss you here!!!
Great Channel Simon
This video is amazing !! I love it 😍
awkward and meaningless
Exactly! Awkward and meaningless.
The cringe is real. That felt kind of forced my heavy. Waarom jy doen dit vidjie?
I do give you props for making an attempt at better expression, it wasn't so flat in this video.
Expat Exposure not cringe at all. Only you feel like that because you're socially awkward and this situation would scare you. For the rest of us it's fine.
BTW you would have no likes if TH-cam thumbs down comment actually did something.
+Expat Exposure 10/10 relevant username haha
It was more of a response video rather than an original idea to go out and do this - he was making a point that many Chinese people are ok with him, and he's ok with them
I guess the method was a bit rough, but hey, I enjoyed it all the same. Winston's seems like a genuine guy, sure this might've been a bit forced, but I suppose he just felt it necessary to counter all the people trying to assassinate his character
I think you're socially awkward mate
you only think it's cringe because you have no social intelligence.
+more velocity
No, he was approaching random people who he had no connection with to awkwardly stop what they were doing and take a picture with him. Of course they would do it to be polite, that has no bearing on whether or not it was awkward.
I've been watching your videos for a year or so(in anticipation of being sent there for work). This video really is entertaining and touching. Keep up the good work and ignore the trolls.
Hey winston, this is the best video you've made in a while. well done!
As always, I love your video's Winston! Stay Awesome!
Greetings from Palm Springs, CA! I enjoy your work, and I look forward to watching more!
As usual, another great vid!
Take care!
Nice one boet! Keep up the good work!
been watching your videos a lot lately. :D Keep em coming!
Greetings from Luxembourg
that's such a nice video to show the good intentions behind your journey and mentality behind you ''drive'' (or motivation and great mood) . I don't ever read the comments because i don't want to see all negative comments you mention sometimes but always try to leave positive comment, especially after i've watched a video and i feel totally awesome because i've found a good person like you doing things i would do if i had all the right factors set up in place (maybe not in China but being a TH-camr is something i would like to do in another country ^^)
This is one of my favourite videos from you!
Really enjoyed this video man , made me smile on a shit day. Thank!
You and C-Milk do a fantastic job coming across as genuine. It makes me happy when I watch either of ya'll separately or both together. Kudos, keep up the good work, stay awesome! Am Looking forward to Conquering Northern China! Am a Donor. Like how ya'll have so far seemed to handle haters with class.
when I was in China last year... they were friendly to me and wanted to take photos with me... your videos are awesome. .. stay awesome my friend
been enjoying watching your videos thanks
That shopping center you were in looked huge! Another great video
Nice vid Winston, can't wait till CNC is released - looking forward to it!!
Honestly I'd watch hours of you just walking around interviewing people, chatting, or just taking pictures. Good stuff!
thank you for just making this great videos!!!!! everything talk about is great information to learn and know!!!!!!!!!
Thank you for expressing this; as a foreigner just really learning about Chinese culture for the first time I had actually believed that there was a lot of rudeness in Chinese culture because of your comments sections. But in the video where you went to that small town I got to see that the people you met in the ally were extremely friendly. Later, when I watched Conquering Southern China, I learned they are really, really kind in the countryside. The evil uncles lately have been pretty funny!
