Wow! I was born and raised in kaiping but many scenes were not like what I saw in recent years, especially the river band. It's so nostalgic.

Fantastic footage of Xinchang. Great to see life there in 1991. I get tingles up the back of my neck whenever I see footage like this. I love listening to the people talk. My grandfather on my mom's side use to go to Xinchang to buy herbal supplies to sell locally. I visited Xinchang in 2011. Members of my family visited Hoiping in 1992. Thanks for sharing your footage.

There's still lots of bicycles on the streets in 1991. More recents videos shows they had more or less vanish and the towns are not as prosperous as before..

Many people confuse Hoiping and Toishan or Taishan because of the same Toishanese language spoken. The largest city in Taishan is Taicheng, about 30 minutes from Hoiping by car. If you are interested go google Taishan Project to see more photos and videos of today's Toishan.

actually Hoisan (Taishan) and Hoiping (Kaiping) are part of a group of five similar languages (used to be four (slee yip?) in the area. Toisan is the cantonese (som yup?) pronunciation for Hoisan. I am a DiHai descendant but my father's village is actually part of Taishan

Hoipingwah and Toisanwah are not totally the same. Local people can hear/distinguish the difference. In addition, both Hoipingwah and Toishanwsh are branches of Sze Yup Wah. It is an insulting saying Kaiping people speak Toisahnese dialect! We speak our own dialect!! I hope you get this idea in your mind.

@@szeyap5626 its only very minor pronunciation changes like British English to American English. it's not a different dialect. but Kaiping does mixed in some cantonese within their "language"
