Also Fujian its a hub of "southern" chinese martial arts. Ip Man, a master of Bruce Lee made a school of ving tsun there.

Yep exactly, and plus Fujian especially the counties near Fuzhou also contributed to the development of Okinawan Karate and this is attested and recognised by a variety of Okinawan Karate fraternities.

My grandfather was born from that province, he migrated in the philippines during 1940's i think he had a brother left behind during 1990's his brother a doctor attempted to contact his living relative which is my father through letter but language barrier keep us apart, we really had a hardtime looking for a chinese translator in our are until my father stop communicating with his uncle and his families there. So sad both families where split apart because of language barrier and distance one from fujian province and the other from the Philippines.

If you they are in Southern part of Fujian, & speak Hokkien dialect, In 2023, US company Meta produces a Hokkien translation machin. See several video channels & websites under category “Hokkien translation machine” or similar titles. To buy, look under above, & within it look for “Sales”, “to Purchase”, etc. Hopefully price is not too high. Goold luck. Suerte. Ho unkhi!!

I heard Quanzhou (泉州）was pronounced as Kuanzhou. It is actually more like Chuanzhou because the letter 'Q' in Pinyin Romanisation sounds like 'Ch' as in the word 'Cheese'.

I'm a Fujianese. Taiwan is extremely alike Fujian in both cultures and ethinics. Most of Taiwanese were Descendants of Fujianese who migrated about 500 years ago during Ming dynasty and Qing dynasty of China following Koxinga General (郑成功, also a Fujianese). That's why Taiwanese speaks Hokkien (the southern Fujian dialect). I'm a Fujianese but I speak only Fuzhou(Ningde) dialect (the eastern Fujian dialect). So Taiwan deems to be cultural connected with South Fujian.. Moreover, Taiwan and Fujian are deemed as one single province in the history ruled by Qing Dynasty..That's Min-Tai Province (闽台省。Min(闽): Fujian福建, Tai(台): Taiwan台湾) in Qing dynasty. After the civil war, Fujian has become the first line against Taiwan, so China central government only invested very limited funds to build modern Fujian. But Fujian people works really hard and smart, so Fujian has become one of the most wealthy provinces in China. That's what I'm proud of. But the location of Fujian against China really does harm to Fujian's Province. What's more, Taiwan government kills many Fujian fishermen (kills hundreds of Fujianese. Considering Fujianese Fishermen are justing fishing near 2km from Xiamen of Fujian during Chinese Spring Festival, obliged by the economic downturn, but those fishermen were killed by Taiwanese government and lost their lives, just 2km near Fujian), the Taiwan government even don't considerthe same culture and ethenics between Fujian province and Twaiwan province. This totally hurt Fujianese people and made me really angry..So I really wish the Taiwan problem can be well solved.

???? im taiwanese and how are we even remotely similar after so many decades of separation? we have drifted from each other culturally that i dont think you could even consider us fujianese (or chinese). try telling that to the Chinese in Singapore that they're culturally the same as you are. some traditions do stick, but our cultures have diverged. dude wake up.

@@theeT.I.F You can search our province Fujian(福建), also short as Min(闽), 70% of Taiwanese are descendants of Southern Min (闽南, in Pinyin, Minnan), specifically comes from two cities: Quanzhou(泉州) and Zhangzhou(漳州) from hundreds of years ago (there even bursted Zhangzhou-Quanzhou Feud in Taiwan for those migrations from this two cities to fight for resources in Qing dynasty). The dialect Taiwanese is using is Southern Min Dialect (闽南语, in Pinyin, Minnanhua), which are still the dialects Quanzhou, Zhangzhou, Xiamen people of PRC are speaking. which is also translated to be Hokkien. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hokkien. Actually, Fujian is a province with hundreds of dialects and cultures, Southern Min only is a small part of Fujian. Like me I'm eastern Fujianese so I speak Fuzhou dialect (福州话). If you are intested in Fujian dialects, you can see this wiki: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Min_Chinese

I’ve never heard English spoken in the dialect the narrator is speaking. My brain noticed it wasn’t standard American English when he said two thousand two hundred. I immediately thought, “two thousand two hundred? Why wouldn’t he just say twenty two hundred?” Then I started listening carefully. I pride myself on having a ear for accents. Based on how odd this one is. I am going to say it’s someone who is East Asian of some sort or a Dutch speaker. Given the topic of this video. A native East Asian speaker is it. Good for him, he fooled me. Two thousand two hundred? 😂😂😂

Because the "Republic of China" also known as Taiwan nowadays and the "Peoples Republic of China" also know as China nowadays had a civil war (meaning a war that broke out between their own people). The Peoples Republic of China ended up kicking off the Republic of China from the mainland. After this the Republic of China started a country on the island and named the country "Taiwan "and claimed to be China. "The Peoples Republic of China" however stayed on the mainland and also claimed that they are the real China which is why it says in the video there are 2 china

Sadly, Fujian is currently the only province where its own people (I am not referring to migrant workers) do not speak its own dialect. You go to Szechwan, most Szechwanese will be able to speak Szechwanese. You go to Guangdong, most Cantonese can speak Cantonese. You go to Hunan, most Hunanese can speak Hunanese. But when you go to Xiamen, many native Southern Min cannot speak Hokkien (Southern Min dialect). When you go to Fuzhou, many native Northern/Eastern Min cannot speak Foochow/Hockchiew (Northern Min dialect). Sad! 😖😥😡
