Fred Liu.. You are seriously one of the greatest influencers. You are so uplifting and you post so much positivity. I cannot put into words how much I admire you, your hard work, and the positive vibes you give out to the world. These days it has been really hard to find positive people who seriously genuinely want to help. I feel like you are just one of those people. I think it is so awesome that you had the experience to go to Africa and help out at a school there. My ultimate goal in life is to do humanitarian work like that. It seriously looks like you had so much fun:)) You are just such a real person and that's so hard to find. I hope you know how special you are and how loved you are. You are working so hard as being a full time college student, working, and still maintaining friendships. You are seriously such a strong person. I hope you know I am always cheering you on. I just wanted to tell you how very appreciated you are. Thank you for all you do. Seriously. Love you the mostest bestie:')

The childhood memory part in your essay resonates with me and makes me remember my childhood days there. I am really impressed that you still remember and cherish those memories and are open and sincere about sharing that (including your backgrounds and related thoughts in other videos). This is valuable! Do hope you can revisit there sometime in the future and get a chance to truly experience the rich culture and a real China.

I love your paintings and I feel that each has a story and emotions in it. I really loved the 6&7 one. The 6 made me feel relaxation like I imagine myself walking along the narrow path leading to the lake & 7 make me feel so happy and warmth with the warm colours and I really love the yellow here surrounded by the orange and pinch of red, also I could see 3 people walking, one wearing red between two. Read your essay too and it made me think a lot. Like, I am still in that shell, in my own comfort zone and just don’t know how or what to do to get out of it. People say the first step is always to take the first step. Maybe I haven’t accept or learn how to accept failure and imperfections… Anyways thank you so much for your videos, they always make my day and hope you had a great day too!!!

I love the cinematography and your videos clearly shows that you put so much thought into how the final video would come out. But sometimes I do wonder how funny and awkward the behind the scenes would be. So you basically set up your camera, act all cool in front of the camera and then run back and get your camera. This would be super funny if I saw it in real life
