Thanks for the video. I can't imagine the anxiety each time you have to extend your visa. I wish you success in your getting legal status to remain in China for as long as you want.
I was born in America but I love all Chinese people. I am also Japanese as my mother was actually a Japanese who lived in China after WWII and spoke fluent Mandarin and Chinese. My father was born in Chungking, but my Grandfather was born in the USA. My family has been in the USA with difficulty since 1862. It is difficult here to live as an Asian man let alone as a Chinese. I wish you a prayer of a thousand years and the Eternal Peach of Ever Lasting Life with the ones you so dearly love.他很帥氣 At least you are the authentic YOU.

@@未央笑笑生 The Japanese hate Americans and hide it. They are controlled. Even the Meiji Emperor around 1872 was put into power by the West? I learned everthing Japanese IS Chinese. The Japanese like Chinese and will marry us too. Here in America they lie and tell Asian Women we are like girls? I study Kung Fu and Kuntao in preperation for attacks on Chinese peopl as it happens so frequently. The conqerers want Asian women to hate the Asian man and to eliminate Asia through Asian Male Emasculation. The humiliation and the long history of murder of the Chinese and Asians are a story hidden and long in America. Chinese help built the transcontyinental Railroad and on payday they woul line up th get apd only to be all shot and murdered and then the Companies would bring in New and unaware Chinese and do this OVER and OVE and OVER again! The Transcontinental railroad was made under Budget and the Chinese were buried under the Transcontinental Rail roadtracks making the US Transcontiental railroad the largest Chinese Cemetary outside of Asia! How can I live knowing this? How can asian women and Chinese American Women live with this and say thiaswas so loing ago and then marry these two faced murderers who keep this out of the US History books? I am angry and I am sad that the Chinese contributed to US Military Techological Supremacy and they lie and MARGINALIZE us so much and hate us here. If I could go back to China I would leave now. My wife is Chinoy and so is slightly scared of living in China. I would rather die in China than die here with people who hate me and my family. America is not a GOOD place to be Chinese.
Congratulations on your work visa Rachel... I love hearing stories like yours, Rachel. It was a treat to hear her speak Cantonese as not many vloggers in China speak Cantonese... at least not that I am aware of. My grandparents came from Huadu district in Guangdong province. We are Hakka. I wonder if Rachel also learned Hakka.

@Gaylen I copied and pasted your statement into Google translate and what it translated didn't make sense to me. I was born and raised in the western hemisphere, in Central America, so I didn't learn written Chinese in school (only Spanish and English), though on my own I tried learning a few words in Chinese and was able to recognize some words. So I am not sure what you are trying to tell me since I can't read Chinese.

I think it would be fun for someone to compare a Chinese person who grew up in the United States and an American who grew up in China and see their experiences.
From what I heard, if you speak and write Chinese fluently, the people there regard you as one of their own or claim you to be Chinese in a way. So, the Visa is just a technicality. Culturally, they've accepted you as Chinese.

@@johnyossarian9059Chinese identity didn't exist during Confucius era. So Confucianism could not have defined who are Chinese and who are not. China is a name given by the Europeans during the Qing dynasty as Qing was romanised as Ching under the Wade-Giles system. Then people were defined as citizens of the 7 nations where they were born. Rather Confucianism defines how a civil society should behave. I think you have mistaken Qin for Qing. Qin was the dynasty when the first emperor unified the 7 countries into the Qin empire. Qing was the last dynasty when a foreign race, other than the Han race, ruled China. Yes, they were considered barbarians but attained civilisation when they became more "Confucius". The terms to describe this assimilation are "sinicisation", "sinification", "sinonisation", "hanification", "hanicisation". Not sure I listed all the variations. A scholar once said it is easier to be born Chinese than to become Chinese. Every cultural practice, every idiom, every phrase and every Chinese character are coded with historical stories and background that someone born outside the system could not have grasped. The sinicisation of the Jurchens, the race which runs the Qing dynasty, took place over a few generations, not overnight.

Rachel certainly speaks fluent Cantonese, cool. She has true longing for China, I hope she overcomes her visa problems. I too am longing to return to my homeland China although I'm a recluse in Alaska having salmon and halibut for lunch and dinner.
I hope she can stay. China doesn’t provide an easy way for foreigners to stay. I remember watching a documentary about an American guy, Andy, who were born in Beijing, he was even an actor in Chinese movies, speaking perfect Chinese with a Beijing accent. He is now in his 50s and China is the only country he knows but he had difficulty staying. What he said was sad: What am I going to do if I have to return to the US? For humanitarian reasons, China should allow him to stay. I hope he turned out fine and I hope Rachel can stay also.

I have an important question. Ask them if they would not hesitate to denounce their American citizenship if should China give them one. Most likely not. Then don't complain. By rights, China would have requested them to leave years ago after their father's death. He brought his family there on his work visa but then, based on compassionate reason they were allowed to stay on until they chose to leave but they determine to beat the immigration law. She said she would do anything to remain, now I wonder if the local bf was a selfish reason. Her mother could barely speak Chinese despite being in China for decades.
