its so funny when aunties and uncles say they held you as a baby and they expect you to remember😂😂😂
All the aunties and uncles in the world do. I ask my niece and nephew if they remember I took them to buy candy when they were around four every so often, haha.
I assume everyone’s aunts say that once in their life 😭😂
@@vv_vvs true
True 😭
Some people remember
Your younger male cousin is very sweet 😭 even though he hasn’t seen you in so long he seems very happy to be around you 💗
yes.😭
maybe he never seen him? he is so young
@@xuanlu4554 I think he has seen him before just when he was very young
This is the greatest China vlog of all time
top it
Second it
i cant top it but ill make a vlog of living in xiamen as a 14 year old lol I've lived in xiamen for 9 years and i love it
I third that statement! Very good vlog!
I'm from Fuzhou also, a beautiful place
Ryan, as your older brother, I would like to give you some advice: Go to China often and see your family. One day, when they leave this world (I hope they have many long and healthy years), you will regret every moment you didn't see them when you grow up.
I never saw my grandfathers, but I regret every moment I couldn't be with my grandmothers before they died. Don't make the mistakes I made. Even if your home is America, your roots are in China and never forget your culture.
This is the side of China people of the US need to see. 感謝您的精彩視頻
To me every country is great and respect for those who preserve and respect their culture.
Went back to Fuzhou earlier this month after 8 years. Best experience of my life. This video reminded me why I love China. I have been craving ban mian everyday since😭😭
Relatable lol perhaps do you speak fuzhounese, and you have to try the duck there it's so good!
Ban mian is W 😋
I'm Korean-American, and watching this made me realize how nice China actually is. My Filipino step-sister wants to go to college in China, so this is pretty cool seeing how China is.
it’s pretty neat… even rural villages in china are quite decent, let alone big cities… it’s just so convenient
what？are you serious?
Yes thanks to capitalism and investments by US/Japan
What
Ryan, people in China can’t watch TH-cam😂 It’s unless if they bought a VPN or else they wouldn’t know what a TH-cam vlog is 👽
I'm 72 male living in Malaysia. My father came from Fuzhou china too.
I'm so happy to watch this Vlog of yours. Really glad to see the warmth of all your family members and relatives. They really treated you so well and close. It's touching to see the strong bond of Chinese families. I agree with your grandma that you're really a well behaved and good guy. I wish you all of you the best. ❤️
btw where is most fuzhou people in Malaysia ? I really want to visit Malaysia one day . Here in united states we have biggest number fuzhou people overseas 😂
Randomly saw this in my algorithm it’s definitely one of the best China vlogs, because it’s simple and pure and you could feel the nostalgia and family love! I hope you can go back and visit other places too!
Such an incredible visit back! Awesome editing too! I’m currently in China for the first time, my husband’s home country, and I’m blown away by how wonderful the people, the food, the cities, the natural landscapes, really everything has been 🥹 Great to watch your first time back after so many years!! You have such a wonderful family and your cousins are so adorable!
婚礼很棒~🤩刚在bilibili上看完你们的分享~
Ari 下次去中国的时候可以来我的家乡福州玩玩哈🥰🥰
You and your family are nice people, watch your video few years.
Happy to see more overseas Chinese reconnecting again :) I was born in Europe, but my parents brought me to their rural Chinese hometown so they could focus on earning money while I was taken care of by my grandparents up until i turned 4/5. Though I was not there for as long as you did, I still have many memories of that humble but free life I had. I am sad and regretful about not visiting my grandparents more often as they are getting real old now, and one has already passed away. This serves me to learn to take nothing for granted and really cherish the moments you have with your family. If you have the financial means to do so, please visit them often. To our grandparents, seeing their children and grandchildren is one of their greatest joy in life.
So that only makes you first generation Chinese in Europe, I'm 4th generation in North America when my great grandad moved here in 1892 and I still yearn to go back to the Motherland and as I grow older the west is no longer a good place to live !
@@etow8034You are to be commended for your need to be connected to roots. My grand nieces would be 4 or 5th generation Chinese Americans. Maybe only one has a feeling to connect with China. I wish you the best. Do visit China! 👍
@@etow8034That's actually very interesting to read! Have you learned Chinese? Are you fluent? Have you been to China, and can people tell you're a "foreigner"? Greetings from a random European.
@@NoctLightCloud I'm fluent in English, French, Cantonese and Mandarin.
@@etow8034 Amazing! My parents are also immigrants and I even struggle keeping my mother tongue skills. I can't imagine managing passing it down to 2 more generations after me without a significant amount of it getting lost.
I'm from Serbia, but watching your vlog makes me want to visit China, so I am placing it on my todo list to do one day when I have a stable life and a job.
ja sam 2018.god bila mjesec dana praksi u firmi jednoj u Nanjing. Bilo je jako uzbuldjivo. Ovo u videosnimku je selo pa se vidi da je malo siromašnije. A veliki gradovi u jugu, kao Nanjing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen i tako dalje su jako napredovani! Metro im je jedan od najmoderniji na svjetu. Imaju jednu aplikaciju za sve - za onlajn šoping, za plačanje na automatima za žvaku, za taksi, voz, metro, autobus, bijoskop, porudžbu hrane, platu, osiguranje. Meni je šef moj znao preko te aplikacije poslati 5$ da sebi kupim sladoled. Plaća se u prodavnicama često preko QR code. Mlade osobe u Kini su jako fine i pametne. Cure se u većim gradovima oblaće bolje nego ovde u Austriji. Sve je jako povoljno, osim leta. Pozdrav. Izvinite ako sam pogriješila ponegdje, nisam nažalost 100% savladala "naš" jezik.
Welcome to China, I have got Serbian friends in Yantai China, and one Serbian couple were PHD students from Ludong university, now they went back Serbia after graduation. we are still connected via wechat or skype. Yantai has a few wechat Expat group, such as " foreign students" , " expats Yantai", expats often post info about travelling, job post, holloween party, partick's day clubbing etc...if you want to work in China, you shall have bachlor degree , and send CV to European companies in China, or US companies , or some Chinese companies, with job offer and bachlor degreee, the working visa can be sorted by your employers.
Hope Serbia side with China and prosper together.
Stable life and job. Me too.
@@lui4745 Well, hope it will come in the future.
I love that the genetics are strong in your family! Looking like your family is always a blessing!
They are all so pretty & handsome ma sha Allah
5:16 as a Chinese Indonesian i just realized while living in a different countries my family and i still do Traditions like this. If i didnt watch this vlog then I'll never knew so thank you so much and i hope your great granpa rest in peace❤
This is kinda personal , but this is one of the most relatable vlogs I have ever watched. My oldest cousin from Canada came to Bangladesh (our home country) after 12 years. Even though we were 18 years apart we were still really close with each other. We would spend hours chatting. It really felt like he was my biological brother . On the day, he left he bawled his eyes out and so did I . I saw that bond in you and your cousins which we often don't see in this world of internet. Loved your vlogs!! Definitely coming back for more.
Hello, I’m adopted Chinese in America raised by white parents and this video really helped me appreciate my home country a bit more. I’ve wanted to connect to my own roots more lately. Thanks for sharing!
I am sorry that China was poor at the time of your adoption. I doubt China will let that happened again. I assume you are female, now China treat their girls like princesses. How the world changed.
无论在哪里，希望你幸福
IGNORE THE TYPOS GUYS I NEED MORE BOOK😭
need more book🗿✊
now be my boyfriend ❤️😭
*BOOKS
This made me cry, beautiful. Blessings to you and your family.
I'm also from NYC and preparing for my own trip to China next month to visit my grandma. The TH-cam algorithm never fails - so glad it led me to your vid!! ☺
watching this vlog made me so happy. reminded me of my visit back to china last month after 6 years 😭 everything u described were so real, the moped, the bike, the villages, the fresh food, and ofc, family
I really felt the warmth through this video. The love of your family has for you is truly beautiful
Very happy I found this on my FYP !! I love to see people connect with community, explore their culture and more :) I would love to go to China one day there is SO MUCH to explore and experience
AHHHHH I’m from 福州 too! Thanks for sharing your adventure in福州 since it’s not very well known by others😭 watching this video makes me feel so weird and happy at the same time 因为我感觉自己又回到了自己的家乡,
reading this makes me happy
omg I'm from 福州too! it's been so long since I went back.. miss the Ban mien bian ro so much
I’m from Fuzhou as well!! Well more specifically from Fuqing (福清）. Do any of u guys know how to speak Fuzhounese by any chance🤣
@@user-mb3qq3in9zYep! My family is planning to make a trip back to China during the summer
My ancestors are from Gutian county 100km from Fuzhou, my great grandparents are born there before migrated to South East Asia, we still speak the language today.
Wow, how is it even possible to watch a video of someone having experiences on the other side of the world and feel like I was there? As a Brazilian guy who lives in a big city, I identify so much with you when you visited your old hometown in China. My family was raised in the countryside, and the last time I was there, I got in touch with a part of my family that I had just forgotten about. Since the last time I saw them was like 15 years ago. Even though the whole experience was life-changing, as I feel more connected with my roots and felt so loved and seen by this part of me that I just forgot that I had.
The food looks so gooddd 🤤. I’m going to China for the first time this summer and I litterally can’t wait!!
omg really?! to Shanghai or where?!!!
@@willyhuang9587 Xiamen and Shanghai!!
@@cameronlim I’m gonna be in Shanghai during summer, would love to show u around if u want hahaha!!
Omg welcome to China welcome to Xiamen,Xiamen is a beautiful island!!
@@cameronlim WOW, catching you here! Glad to hear that you are going to China, but Chengdu is also a must-go city, you can try so much spicy food and see a lot of cute pandas!
Awww, seeing you with your grandparents is so wholesome. :')
Loved this vloggg!! As a Chinese that grew up in China but moved to another country after, i miss my hometown a lot by watching this!! This vlog was wholesome!! 🙌🤩
This was so sweet! My two daughters are Chinese and we plan to go back next summer. We haven’t been back since 2010:(
Let's go to China together!
sure Beijing 大哥
@@ryanlinn_ 哈哈哈哈
damn
你是来福州哪里？
Awww, your little cousin is so cute, he admires you so much 😭💕
Love seeing you reconnect with your roots, you look happy here❤
Honestly, watching this just gives me so much nostalgia. I was born in Chongqing, China and lived there until I was 5, and my parents and I frequently visited our relatives all over China during the Christmas holidays. I haven't been back since COVID-19, it's been 4 years. This has to be one of the best China vlogs I've seen, Fuzhou is such a beautiful place!
yes! i have the same experience, i was born in Dalian and moved when i was 5. because of covid i coulnd go back to china for 4 years and i just felt so bad, but luckily i went back on february and i missed my family sooo much and china has changed so much too, i was tacken aback
Ending part of the video literally made me teared up. I loved the bonding of you and your Lil cousin brother ❤️
Choosing to live in New York instead of china right now at this perfect moment where the young people in china as so much more advanced and literally becoming over night millionaires seems crazy to me. Especially when you speak English so well. I’d move to shenzen and be an important part of a company.
I enjoyed watching so much. Real, honest, heart warming. You have a wonderful family. Go back often!! Especially for your younger cousin. He really will miss you.
This vlog is genuinely one of the best I have ever seen. So glad you seemed to have such an enjoyable time!!
What a nice holiday you had, getting reacquainted with your cousins, grandparents, and hometown culture, the food, the country side, and city life. Hope you are treasuring the sweet experiences! I sure dig your little male cousin, he is so sweet who really shows his love for you. I am happy that at 18 you have such awareness and smarts! Do keep your connection with your relatives and China! 👍☮️❤️🇨🇳
Wow! Happy 70th birthday to your grandpa! :) It's such a heartwarming vlog in China! :) Thanks for bringing us along!
new fave vlogger!!!! SO WHOLESOME
first time watching a vlog but i loved it! it’s so wholesome that you had the chance to bond with your family and relive your childhood memories 🥺
What a great vlog, truly a trip down memory lane. Made me remember my visit back to China in 2017 and how different and loving the culture back there is. You and your cousin bonding reminded me of my experince and it was something that i'll not forget. ❤
I watched it on TH-cam's recommendation. What a heartfelt vlog! I love the simplicity, warmth and personal nature of the video. You have very good kind relatives. P.S. I agree with the comments, this is truly the best video about China I have ever seen.
crazy how nostalgia and family love connects across countries, continents, and cultures. i am mexican and ive lived in california since i was 7 as well. this feels so similar to what i experience every time i go back to mexico and visit family. it's insane how your blood recognizes your homeland, it's almost like you can breathe easier and feel so much lighter in your skin. love being shown around and getting to eat my favorite foods in the world. this is so special and beautiful. i cry every time i have to go home as well
so proud of you that you took everything from your 'original roots' with so much pride, love, and joy...hope you continue spending time with your family back in China
3:52 That laugh just made my entire day 🥺😝. Great to have you back on YT Ryan!
AWWW OMGG YES MORE LAUGHS TO COME
I was literally bawling my eyes watching your final vlog in China with your grandparents and cousin … they are genuine ppl who enjoy the simple things in life.
Little cousin is adorable😂
WOW! It’s a totally different perspective of China! So warm and welcoming! The mainstream media doesn’t cover this perspective. I would love to hear your back story about why you immigrated to the USA at age 7, and, how you came to have an apartment in NYC at age 18. Perhaps you could do an entire vlog post on what I suspect is an extremely interesting story, Kudos to you for honoring your land of birth and ancestors!!
This is so relatable with relatives living overseas, got me feeling warm and reminiscing after watching the vlog! 😊
Watching your vlog made me feel so happy for some reason 😂 loved the relationship between you and your younger cousins 🤗
one of my favorite videos in a long time it just seemed so peaceful and nostalgic even tho it’s not even my life i’m so glad you got to go back and experience all the great things China has to offer!
Im Thai people ( by born )
but im 100% chinese too (by blood )
my grandparents all of them come from Fuzhou , Wuhan ,Hainan
I have a big family there that I havent met in my entire life.
I want to go to Fuzhou oneday
Maybe we might be a far cousin (kidding)
Your face are nearly the same as mine.
I am 31 now
My goal is going to Fuzhou Hainan and Wuhan 🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳😄
stoppp I’m also from 福建 and this video got me crying😭😭 it so amazing seeing someone from the same place as me thrive
You picking your cousin up from school and making him a burger will for sure be core memories for him when he grows up. I for some reason got tears in my eyes thinking about it. Such wholesome moments that feel ordinary but they become some of the best memories when we’re older 🥹
This hit close to home for me. I haven’t had the chance to go back to my roots and explore my culture in 10 years as well. I really do miss the atmosphere of my childhood. This video felt nostalgic and healing.
This is all worth it when you go back to see family you still remember and vice versa….you get to eat everything that you loved to eat, get invited to other parties and they really loved you visited.🥰🥰🥰🥰
Wow the village is so beautiful!!! my grandparents town has become pretty urbanized but its so great to see people still living in buildings that arent 50+ floor skyscrapers
hope you visit your family more often! they seem to be sweet people and i'm sure they miss you a lot - the final bit saying goodbyes had me crying
9:15 Bro that is the most Hamburger looking Hamburger I've ever seen... That sht is what McDonald puts on their posters.
I was happy to see how happy you and your family were. What a beautiful trip! Life is short, don't miss the chance to be happy and stay where you feel welcomed.
this video is so comforting as someone who has went back to china and watched their parents see everyone, then to see their faces light up GETS ME EVERYTIMEEE 😭😭
this randomly popped up for me and reminded me of the time I lived in China. Whenever I craved the taste of home, I would order McDonalds and though I am not a fan of KFC, I thought the one in China tasted better than the one here in America. I even like the slight differences in menu. This was such a fun vlog! 😄
There's something very touching about watching someone go home
i literally cry every time I leave China, I miss my relatives :(
Cool to see you experienced so many kinds of activity in China! It makes me wanna go back this year too...
Also I thought that being raised in a village and moving to NYC was crazy, until I saw your grandpa's birthday celebration lmao
Yesss such great yet simple experiences. i was so relaxed there😵💫🫣
This was such a wholesome vlog 🥹 it’s so good see you back with your family and seeing you smile 😊 glad that you had an awesome time there. Thank you for sharing your journey with us, it was really amazing 🤩. May god always keep you blessed, healthy and happy. Take care!
All the best for everything in the future!
This has reminded me of my experience in China when I was little (maybe around 7-8 yrs old) and I've never related to a vlog before. It makes me miss when I went in the Summer before. I remember some good times like how I was shocked about the toilet seat being all the way to the floor, doing face masks, riding on my cousins roller blades, and coming back to America full of mosquito bites even though I had slept with mosquito curtain thingys around the bed. Truly nostalgic! I hope to visit again soon to see my mom's older brother's baby son.
This is so amazing to see. I'm American born and raised but my husband is from China and we visit as often as we can. It's become a second home to me and videos like this bring me such nostalgia and comfort
Wow. Very bittersweet video. Nostalgic trip to China which resonates across all cultures. Loved that 90% of the video was you with a mouthful of delicious food ! Made me want to visit China just to eat all the wonderful dishes.
This video was so beautiful! Thank you for sharing!
Your video appeared here for me! And I loved your experience in your homeland. It's funny how our voice changes depending on the language. A big hug from Brazil 😅😂 Keep posting videos please.
its so nice seeing u visit ur childhood village again! its such cute vlog too omg
aww its awesome when people are able to reconnect with roots and revisit past memories 🥺
That was a really awesome vacation! Your videos of China and your relatives and their friends plus the places you visited were great. You're in NYC too!
What a sweet and fun video. Family, food, simple life. Glad you popped up in my feed! ✨️💖✨️
Come to China more often! It’s so nice to see you go “back to your roots”. Love from Shanghai! ❤
This is such a chill vlog omg, I remember going to China at 16 and it was one of the sickest experiences ever - I had 0 expectations and it just blew me away love this for you! I'm so jel of that boat experience lol, that looked so fun omg
How does an 18 year old afford a $4,000/month apartment in New York City?
Good question
CCP
@novastonegaming the ccp is not paying him to live in NYC 😭😭😭
@@spektree8448 💀who knows
Love your vlog and it’s always wonderful to return to your roots. I was surprised that your parents let you go on your own. Good luck on your future endeavors.
I've been waiting for this vlog and i love how wholesome this is. Sending lots of love from Shanghai.
As a fellow Chinese person it’s amazing to see how much different life is in china, I was born in America and only went back twice and the last time I went was 2018. I really want to go back sometime soon. Keep vlogging bro!
This was an exciting vlog, because you get to see the changes after many years. I really liked how family loved to do so many things together. City life, country life. The pictures are great keepsake memories, and if you can visit regularly, because that you all have is priceless.
this was a great vlog, these detailed vlogs are so rare, thank you so much
This made me homesick. Though America specifically NYC may "seem" to be better or have more opportunities. I miss the simple life back home. The greenery and the random wild animals. I'm not from Asia, I am from the Caribbean but things are still similar. I am glad you got to go home and see your family. :)
Great vlog!! Family were so happy to see you!! God bless❤️❤️❤️
This got randomly recommended to me and it reminds me of my cousins. They were born in Hong Kong and moved to Utah over 12 years ago. They are coming to HK to visit us next month and although we have visited them in the US they have not been back since they left. I bet it will feel just as nostalgic as you were in the video, other than one of the cousins who left HK as a toddler. Their mom (my dad's older sister) and my dad were actually from Fujian too, like you, and they moved to HK as kids, and your village reminds me of his village
First time I see one of your videos, but I loved it. So emotional in a good way. Please go back to your Chinese family soon, they will miss you as much as you miss them. And let us viewers follow you on the next trip there. Love from Sweden ❤
I grew up in fuzhou to, and had my entire childhood there thank you for sharing this every aspect is so relatable.
That was an awesome video, brought back alot of nostalgic memories for me while watching you going thru your journey back home. I don't care what they say but real men do cry, I balled my eyes out at 11 and 21yrs. Ahhh China, I miss you...
absolutely loved this video!❤
gramps a menace dancing with someone else 😂😂
nvm dad also a menace
THIS VID IS SO NOSTALGIC I LOVE IT
I am also Chinese but I have never been to China before or met any of my relatives from there. I really want to go and connect with my culture and family more.
thank u for this vid. heartwarming & reminded me of the importance of the simple things in life
मैं भारतीय हूं और आपका गांव देख कर मुझे भी यहां जाने का मन हो रहा है बहुत शांति है
Your grandparents are soooo cute and kind 🥺
China is GOATED. Changed a lot in such a short period of time
I love China 🇨🇳 ❤❤❤❤
So sweet, family is important, thanks for showing a part of China to us, great video
omg this video brought me flashbacks !! so glad you filmed your trip :)
