China is now facing a fifth wave of the epidemic which it cannot easily control without major ' societal disturbances' (to put it mildly). They engaged in risky gain of function virus research and unleashed a virus they could not control. Instructions for Agent K - The mid to long term effects of this pandemic including the upcoming World wide food crisis and increased cross border wars may well spell the doom for the majority of human population. My advice, if you are fortunate enough is to identify islands of stability such as Australia new Zealand, south pacific etc and try to bunker down with supplies and neighbours you can trust or at least are not a threat. Remember you don't have to prep for years of self sufficiency. You only have to survive the population transition

i guess i can understand what the old grandpa is talking about, he says 水埔村与另两个村统一（合并）了。he means Shuipu village has been merged with another two villages. in fact this is also a part of rural society changes in China during the last two or three decades, more and more younger generation left from remote rural area, and went to bigger ciries, seeking for better living and job opportunities, so population in rural area like Shuipu village keeps shrinking, so the government will merge several shrinking villages as well as towns like Shuipu into one bigger village or bigger town, so as to reduce cost of government management.

老家是附近另外一个县的。由于老房子很多都已经很破旧，有些已经是危房。政府给了两个选择: 1，给材料给你修缮旧房，使之适合居住。2, 搬迁到政府建在附近城镇的集中居住点，老旧的危房要拆掉。农村里面很多人选择搬迁到新房，所以原来的村子很多都空了。

Sandu Shui Autonomous County (Chinese: 三都水族自治县) is an autonomous county in the southen area of Guizhou province, China. It is under the administration of the Qiannan Buyei and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, and the only Shui Autonomous County in China; 63% of Shui in China live in this county, which is the heartland of the Shui people. Sandu has a population of 400,000, 97% of whom belong to ethnic minorities and 67% of the total population are Shui. It is one of the poorest counties of Guizhou. Most of the county is forested and it is noted for its clean air and warm hospitality of Shui people. Hope you have a pleasant journey here.

Katherine总是能把我们自己很少去关注的中国很温馨淳朴的一面展示出来。在中国的版图上有着最复杂的地理结构，从而产生了如此丰富多彩族群和文化。经济的发展必然使很多传统慢慢消失，虽然贵州像很多地方一样这些年努力通过开发旅游试图保存一些传统的记忆。我也去过很多国家旅行，但现在越来越发现最能打动我的风景往往就在国内旅行的旅途中，偏乡的路边，大山里的小村庄。感谢 Katherine和小王总！

[@albertkoey]

Glad to see your published video, in view of the recent aviation incident. A moment of silence for those onboard the ill-fated flight and wishing affected family and friends can move on after they have grieved. Back to your video now - nice to see the minorities being shown. Good job! I wonder how many people know that there are minorities even among the billions and billions of Chinese people in China and elsewhere around the world.

11: 33. The lady, who is not fluent in Mandarin and dresses up like an aquarium, said she was going to "走亲，喝酒", which means "visit relatives and drink wedding wine". In China's traditional culture, neighbors, relatives and friends will bring gifts to the scene to congratulate and help when they encounter wedding or funeral events such as taking a wife, marrying a daughter, having children, celebrating their birthday, and the host's family will entertain guests with drinks and food. Good works. Katherine & Wei.

Katherine and Wei, most people in Guizhou speak Guizhou dialect, which is pretty much similar to Sichuan dielect. In fact, most people from Sichuan , Chongqing , Yunnan, Guizhou, the small part of West Hubei, and North Guangxi speak Sichuan dielect or its close variants, including many ethnic minorities in those provinces.

Personally, the only ones I would call blessings in the things you mentioned are school and learning more languages.

China must develop these rural agricultural areas so that young people don't all need to move into crowded cities.
