[@Sadi-oh1jh]

Happy for her, i watched her been casted and going to china.

A beautiful and true story A sharing of humanity

[@jarednovel]

Chinese involvement in Africa has lifted many people from poverty. Millions of Africans have been lifted from poverty through Chinese built infrastructure, cheaper communication devices like mobile phones and, low cost machinery that can be used for value addition, cheaper motorcycles that have given millions of young people a chance to start own transport businesses etc.

[@jivvyjack7723]

Consider for a minute - the seeds of friendship were laid 600 years ago.

[@t0n0k0]

In a different context, it's a whole world now. Kenya was trading with China in the Ming dynasty, as was with Indian mogul empire and the sultan of Oman and Kings of Portugal. Business not handouts, but the incomplete railway to malaba rubbed off wrong, almost as a strategy

[@beproudasian8279]

When the Chinese came they bring knowledge and cooperation but when the Western imperialists came they conquered and colonized. Western imperialism the bane of humanity!

[@x-guy78]

How are you able to type in English if the West only brings imperialism?

[@lianfeishen6044]

we Chinese love this kind of beautiful story. I believe that it's the turn for Africa to get rich and prosperity

Beautiful and very hopeful story. I wish for Mwamaka Sharifu to build her clinic in Nairobi and help the cause of better health and happiness. Thank you for sharing your story and the rich history behind it! ❤

[@ubermenschen3636]

She definitely has some Chinese facial characteristics. Amazing woman!

[@user-jw1nc4oc4o]

Africa has always been rich & it's America & many people steal from Africa & European countries does the same thing. Some African countries need to stop letting American business steal from the poor to give to rich.

...so true Admiral Cheng He and his crew was there (eastern coast of Africa) in the year "1421" - I've read this book 1421 by a British Admiral Gavin Menzies - was born in China whom he develop a strong bond with the "Ah Ma" who brought him up till the age of 9 where the family return to Britain. When he was interviewed and ask about his relation with China. His reply was the saddest moment in his life was to leave Ah Ma n still is! He sadly passed away in 2022 (RIP) Mr Gavin🙏

[@troutstalker4744]

What an amazing story.

[@djtan3313]

U see strength in this woman. The iron will of d Chinese and d African flair for life.

[@Lobstersaladyum]

Thank you for the update about Sharifu. I've learnt about her story many years ago and she is such an inspiration. Good luck to her for the future and may Kenya and China friendship continue for always.❤

[@SilverforceX]

Amazing story, ancestors 600 years ago would never have imagined the outcomes.

[@superpooper_2030]

Why ancient Chinese was so powerful but didn't kill and colonize Africa like the Christian West?

[@rizkyadiyanto7922]

we know why.

[@opansofian]

It's true that western Christians are actually collectors of tribute money behind the mask of religion, they invaded other countries while bringing missionaris martyrs

[@lionman4191]

Because the Chinese are not savages

[@mikethegamedev]

because they aren't babarians

[@curtis-dj5bp]

well, the Africans at that time were also strong military, but even though they are very weak now, the chinese still are not a barbaric people. Unlike the westerners.

[@unifieddynasty]

Excellently produced documentary!

[@thomaslee2783]

A beautiful story portrait the friendship of human and human and respect of different cultures and values! A drastic difference from how the western countries trying to control other cultures and dictate the western values over others!

Doesn't Kenya have their own belief why Arabic

I have met the doctor while studying in China myself, it is lovely to see how far she has come. All the best!

[@putianren]

Admiral Zheng He was a Muslim and was said to have discovered America long before Columbus !!

[@user-jw1nc4oc4o]

Columbus didn't discover America but the Caribbean Islands.

[@Jingajinga64]

Distortion of history and superiority attitude and complex of the west. As if the places were not there in the first place. What did they really discover when the natives were already there?

[@silentnight9655]

Discover a place where people were already living?

This is beautiful, love from Nigeria. Love china and what they do in africa in terms of infrastructure.

I used to see that but I no longer see it. The Chinese in Africa are very racist. They open stores with signs "no blacks allowed".

[@SonnyBo]

Wow, this was an incredible documentary. Sharifu’s story is absolutely remarkable. I wish her all the success in this lifetime and the next 🤲🏽

[@aiderusahmed4394]

The Arrogant European came to Africa a few centuries ago and they say the discover this and that the Chinese and Persians from Shirazi Iran are also in African Continent, I went to Bagamoyo in Tanzania, I saw a ruined of Historical evidence of Shirazi people settlement around 12 Centuries 400 years arrival of European. The Chinese and Shirazi people never say, they discover.

[@jivvyjack7723]

Dating back a thousand years? That's way before Zheng Ho's time.

[@avil8686]

Almost a thousand years

[@freeskier64]

Thousand year will be around Tang or Sung dynasty

[@jivvyjack7723]

Song Dynasty had a great maritime trade too. There were master shipbuilders and navigators. The Song Dynasty invented the magnetic compass and compile complex star charts. Just didn't know that they reached as far as Africa?

[@rizkyadiyanto7922]

tens of thounsad.

[@AbHarians]

​@@rizkyadiyanto7922 While Indonesian is only Muslim on the table but never travel to anywhere and spreaded Islam while Chinese Zheng He done more to Islam by the Islamization of East Africa like Somalia and Eritrea. Maybe you guys learn from your Master US jew who always being a Hypocrite

Omg her chinese so good.

[@felixmakinda7689]

Amazing story. I tried studying Chinese when I was a child but I was not successful. I never missed listening to China Radio international (Kiswahili). China's friendship with Africa should be supported to ensure mutual growth and respect. My dream remains to visit Guangzhou. I know it will come true soon.

[@lifeinthecountrysidehome]

Very interesting story. I enjoy using traditional medicines. I notice they are better for your health, are natural and rarely have tonnes of side effects. I hope this woman will be successful in her endeavors.

But either me or my big family would never claimed we are Chinese

The Chinese could have easily colonised east Africa with their guns and technology. Instead they came as equals but sadly could not find what they were looking for except a for wild animals to prove they had been there.
