This Is The REAL China 🇨🇳 (Here Is What Happened)
In this video, we take you to Guangde, my hometown in Anhui Province, for a glimpse into everyday life in one of China’s more “ordinary” cities. We explore peaceful tea plantations, get invited to a local lunch, and experience the quiet charm of the region. Known for its bamboo forests and surprisingly cozy café scene, Guangde shows a more authentic, slower side of China that you don’t often see.
And eventually we met my family! I hope you will enjoy 🎬

Thank you! Your home town and surrounding area is lovely. The mountains covered by bamboo forests is especially beautiful.
As always beautiful video.
I laughed so hard when when you told Flo don’t put your chopsticks into the tea😅 thank you for sharing your beautiful hometown with us.
rural China was the best season of your channel. Thanks for this episode.
Your family was precious 💜
You need to study your geography of China a little bit more.
Looks like such a wonderful, peaceful area! If I remember it right, I think I heard something about Anhui province being considered a poor area around the time when I visited China (16-20 years ago), not sure if it's true or not or if it still applies, but one thing is for sure, if it's an area that doesn't have much monetary wealth, it most definitely won with nature and scenery! Just wow, it's stunning!
I hope to travel to China one day. I have great admiration for Chinese civilization and historical longevity. Your channel has shown me such insight into the lives of ordinary Chinese people outside of the major cities and media spotlight; I find a lot in common with the people you introduce to us, and that warms my heart. People to people, heart to heart, love to love, from American folks to Chinese folks!
PS: I really love the entrepreneurship of the lady selling alcohol on the street, lol. We're not so different, West and East.
I had a visceral reaction when he put the chopstick in the tea and I'm not even Chinese.
Wait I just realized you guys are super close to @田纳西Jay和Ari when the tourists said 宁国, now I need a collab lol
Lovely elders.
小时候爸妈在杭州打工，暑假都是爷爷送我过去，再接我回来，我当时晕车，每次爷爷都在广德的服务区带我下来休息
it was great to see your hometown. I greet you and the entire Chinese nation from My hometown of Przemyśl
This is one of my favourite videos so far. More unseen China please! I love the special people and nature.
Thanks that was very interesting and personable.
🇿🇦♥️❤️ Prentjie mooi!
NIHAO (hello) Yan and Flo thank you for taking us on a tour of your hometown Anhwi, Guangde and surrounding areas. It is charming, so green, lovely people, good delicious food and best of all we met some of your family. Your Grandpa sister's husband at 93 looks great and his garden is spectacular, wish I could see all the veggies he grows. I love nature and gardening, so your segment today was super enjoyable. Video @24 with the drone and music, it looks like out of a fairy tale land. The bakery is good business. Zai Jian (good bye) péngyóu (friend) until next time. Be blessed. 💖
I think people are ready to say that north America isn't big enough for a relationship like this.
this is wonderful. I truly enjoyed it. It reminds me of my home.
my heart is so full 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
太有意思了，作为宣城人，我只知道水阳三宝，有机会去尝尝三件套
I encourage foreigners to visit China and see how people really live. Instead of relying on Western media, come and experience it firsthand and make up your own mind
nice video!! thanks for this Yan!!
يُصرح مواطنون من البر الرئيسي للصين بأنه، ونظراً للتكرار المتواتر لمختلف الأحداث المروعة في المجتمع الصيني اليوم، فإنهم يعلنون بموجب هذا انسحابهم من المنظمات التابعة للحزب الشيوعي الصيني. ونقدم لكم هنا مختارات من بيانات "الانسحابات الثلاثة" هذه.
يقول "كان يوانتشنغ":
إنني أمقتُ الشخص الأحمق الذي كنتُه في الماضي، وأمقتُ أكثر من ذلك الحزب الشيوعي، الذي بلغت جرائمه عنان السماء. وعليه، فإنني أعلن انسحابي من منظمة "الرواد الشباب"؛ ومن هذا اليوم فصاعداً، أقطع كافة صلاتي بقطاع الطرق الشيوعيين، ولن أنحني أبداً أمام الشر.
تقول "هويزي":
بمشاهدتي لمختلف الأحداث المروعة التي تتكشف فصولها في المجتمع الصيني اليوم، أزداد إدراكاً بأن الشرور المتعددة للحزب الشيوعي هي ظواهر لا مكان لها البتة في مجتمع سوي. وعليه، فإنني أعلن انسحابي من الحزب، ومن "رابطة الشباب"، ومن "الرواد الشباب"—تلك المنظمات الشريرة التي انضممتُ إليها ذات يوم—وأعاهدُ نفسي على محو كل أثرٍ وسموني به قسراً!
A simple but purposeful life surrounded by breathtaking nature. I love it❤
Just love all your great videos. Have you thought of setting up a travel business covering the “unseen China’. The real China that you have shown us. Maybe as an extra add on to Overseas travel. See Wendy Woo Travel Australia.
Another lovely view into China. Thank you
你的家乡好美哦， 离我南京很近~
I like the small businesses in China 🇨🇳
Run by common people for the commoners not by corporations monopolies like in the United States 🇺🇸
Les citoyens chinois ont exprimé que le système éducatif du Parti communiste chinois (PCC), axé sur les examens, empoisonne les étudiants. Après avoir réévalué sa propre compréhension des choses, un individu a publié une déclaration annonçant son retrait des organisations affiliées au PCC. Examinons sa déclaration.
Tony : Je suis l'une des victimes ayant grandi sous le système éducatif du PCC, un système entièrement axé sur les examens. Depuis longtemps, l'éducation a été rendue hautement utilitariste, marquée par une obsession prédominante pour les résultats aux tests qui étouffe sévèrement la capacité des étudiants à penser de manière indépendante, ainsi que le développement de leur véritable caractère. Prenons l'enseignement de l'anglais comme exemple : même après avoir réussi le soi-disant « CET-6 » (College English Test Band 6), un grand nombre d'étudiants demeurent incapables d'engager une conversation de base et naturelle avec des locuteurs natifs de l'anglais. De plus, les études politiques impliquent une forme d'endoctrinement au culte marxiste-léniniste, la promotion de l'athéisme et le maintien d'une animosité envers le Japon et les États-Unis ; par conséquent, le niveau moral global du peuple chinois a décliné.
Plus tard, grâce à un heureux concours de circonstances, j'ai réussi à contourner le « Grand Pare-feu » pour accéder à des informations non censurées et acquérir une compréhension plus profonde de la nature véritablement maléfique du PCC. J'ai pris connaissance des fausses accusations portées par le PCC contre le Falun Gong, de la pratique du prélèvement forcé d'organes, ainsi que d'événements tels que le massacre du 4 juin 1989. Réalisant que les informations que j'avais reçues auparavant contrastaient de manière saisissante avec la réalité, j'ai réévalué et reconstruit ma compréhension du monde.
Durant mes années d'école secondaire, j'ai adhéré à la Ligue de la jeunesse communiste. Sur la base de ma compréhension et de mon jugement actuels, je déclare par les présentes, solennellement, mon retrait de cette organisation.
好美， 很謝謝
China rural nowaday's are better than l have been to on the 90's.Your youtube channel is very educational.l have followed your channel even when you fly home from Europe with Flo.Keep up with the good presantation and be safe .
Sungguh sebuah kampung yang sangat damai, indah dan orang-orangnya tampak ramah. Saya benar-benar ingin mengunjunginya suatu hari nanti. Salam dari Indonesia. ❤
What a beautiful place to grow up in. Truly lovely people – Always enjoy your videos! From New Zealand
19:47 This stone bridge, enveloped in green leaves, looks like something out of a Miyazaki Hayao anime.
Ciudadanos de la China continental han expresado vergüenza por haber sido miembros de organizaciones del Partido Comunista y han emitido declaraciones anunciando su renuncia a las mismas. A continuación, se presentan sus declaraciones:
Xiaoqiang, de Hubei, declara: "El Partido Comunista Chino —este auténtico demonio— ha cometido crímenes imperdonables y atroces contra los creyentes chinos y contra los ciudadanos comunes de China. Me avergüenza haber sido alguna vez miembro de semejante entidad. Por la presente, declaro mi renuncia a la Liga de la Juventud Comunista y a los Jóvenes Pioneros —organizaciones del PCCh a las que me uní en el pasado— para demostrar mi firme determinación de negarme a asociarme con el mal".
Min Wu, de Guangdong, declara: "¡El caso de Hu Xinyu, el caso de Yu Menglong, los complejos de estafas aparentemente interminables y los incontables ciudadanos que han desaparecido sin dejar rastro! Muestran una cara en público, mientras que en secreto actúan de manera completamente distinta; ¡su conducta es verdaderamente despreciable! Nuestros caminos se separan; debo trazar una línea clara y definitiva entre ellos y yo. ¡Por la presente, declaro mi renuncia a los Jóvenes Pioneros!".
Muito legal!!❤
Hi,Just came across! New subscriber here from Cebu Philippines,I love your content,Iam teaching Chinese.Love how you share some of your daily life..Keep vlogging!
मुख्य भूमि चीन के नागरिक कहते हैं कि, आज चीनी समाज में विभिन्न भयानक घटनाओं के बार-बार होने को देखते हुए, वे इसके द्वारा चीनी कम्युनिस्ट पार्टी (CCP) से जुड़े संगठनों से अपनी वापसी की घोषणा करते हैं। हम यहाँ इन "तीन वापसी" (Three Withdrawals) बयानों का एक चयन प्रस्तुत करते हैं।
कान युआनचेंग कहते हैं:
मैं उस मूर्ख व्यक्ति से घृणा करता हूँ जो मैं अतीत में था, और मैं कम्युनिस्ट पार्टी से तो और भी अधिक घृणा करता हूँ, जिसके अपराध आसमान तक पहुँचते हैं। मैं इसके द्वारा 'यंग पायनियर्स' से अपनी वापसी की घोषणा करता हूँ; आज से, मैं कम्युनिस्ट डाकुओं के साथ अपने सभी संबंध तोड़ता हूँ और बुराई के आगे कभी नहीं झुकूँगा।
हुइज़ी कहते हैं:
आज चीनी समाज में घटित हो रही विभिन्न भयानक घटनाओं को देखते हुए, मुझे यह एहसास और भी गहरा होता जा रहा है कि कम्युनिस्ट पार्टी की अनेक बुराइयाँ ऐसी परिघटनाएँ हैं जिनका एक सामान्य समाज में कोई स्थान नहीं है। मैं इसके द्वारा पार्टी, यूथ लीग और यंग पायनियर्स—उन दुष्ट संगठनों जिनमें मैं कभी शामिल हुआ था—से अपनी वापसी की घोषणा करता हूँ, और मैं उन सभी निशानों को मिटाने की कसम खाता हूँ जो उन्होंने मुझ पर जबरदस्ती अंकित किए हैं!
Oh yes, my Sunday morning coffee with Yan and Flo ::) Flo, go and stand in the naughty corner, you can't put your chopsticks in tea. 🤣😅
Welcome back Guangde！
You have managed to make China look like a very desirable place to live.
Amazing bamboo forest ✅
