期待❤️!!

[@Mariobrownio1989]

Katherine my favorite video of yours was the one you shared about your work on water treatment and pollution. Can you make more content on that? Love your channel!!

[@liza6162]

Those little girls were so cute and friendly!! Made me smile!

[@jerrywang4695]

Your conversation with the locals always brings me surprise, and smile. Wei is so unassuming, love to hear Wei’ talking as well. Katherine you are very good at chatting with anybody, that is a special talent!!

[@10lauset]

I'm still astonished at the penetration of paved roads throughout China which reaffirms the promises of the CPC to alleviate poverty. Thanks for showing us this adventure. Happy Year of the Tiger. ... Cheers ...

[@Albert_Einstein_not]

Most vloggers just observe and comment, I like it that you engage the people. It makes all the difference. Thank you for another great video, looking forward to your next one.

[@kats_journey_east]

Glad you like it, another coming soon🌞

[@notsure1276]

Your videos always bring a smile. You are a great story teller.

[@jerrywang4695]

Hahhah, the girls are so active, so lovely, they look so happy! Love to see people having fun with you and Wei together! It is heartwarming experience.

[@x7j4]

So nice to watch your videos with your positive outlook on China. I’m so tired of those American KZbinrs who have a hate for China. I have been to China several times from my home in Canada and I must say the Chinese people in the Chinese cities are exceptional in many ways compared to our west in Canada and the United States.

[@detrickguillory7537]

I had the same positive experiences (2017 & 2020) in beautiful China as you. It seems to me that the people that talk bad about beautiful China & complain about it has never been to it. Many have not even left their own country. I cannot get enough of the amazing & beautiful country named China. 🇺🇸❤️🇨🇳

[@bojanapavlovic294]

I still cannot believe how subjective the West is towards China, even though as a Sinologist I know the reason for that. In Europe (for example Germany) it is the same thing. I still, after whole three years in Germany, cannot believe the attitude I have witnessed towards China.

[@iamcanadianedmonton]

hainan is the equivalent of florida and arizona for retired canadians in the winter.😊😊😊. love from canada.

[@sammuel8892]

EXACTLY

[@bengt_axle]

Loved seeing those modern trains and the old countryside because they show such contrast. I hope you can show more of the modernity of China as well as explain a bit of the environmental issues of your studies and future work as they relate to evolving China.

[@lamheenhammer7802]

Glad to see you're back with another video. The people are so friendly. That little girl is super nice to offer you food. Thanks again for sharing!

[@lanzortiz3199]

Such lovely kids. Wow Country side videos are so refreshing to watch. What a good change of sight. This whole day all i see are news about war in Ukraine. Smh

[@seymorefact4333]

🇺🇸 children are the greatest assets! The smiles, the joy, the curiosity in their eyes and face..... PRICELESS! Thank you.

[@andrewjlow]

Oh wow! The kids thought Wei was from Africa! 🤣 That was so sweet of Mr. Zhao! I am so happy you and Wei had a great trip. Thank you so much for sharing!

[@iWantPeace838]

I love your interactions with the grassroots ordinary folks, more than those showing flash extravagant lifestyle. It is a convincing disproof of so called 1.4 billion oppressed people. Just look at the funny, friendly young girl who offered food to strangers. Are they not having a happy?

[@midwestmeiliguo]

I feel exactly the same way. The Western MSM constantly lies to their audiences about the true nature of China. Chinese are happy with their government unlike the people in the Western countries where people don't trust their government officials. Most of them hate politicians.

[@JohnnysCafe_]

Yes, if only people would take at videos made inside China, they would see a different China to the one they have been told about.

*sigh* really reminds me of my childhood in china, I came to USA when I was 6 and I can say those carefree day were the greatest time of my life, well the 90s in newyork was good too but the sense of safety is gone while China is improving in that aspect

[@tsuikr]

When I was in QiongHai on CNY eve a few years ago, my first in 50 years. Walking around town, I stopped to chat with a small shop owner. He turned out to be an immigrant from NE, just about closing up shop to go to his family CNY eve family dinner. He invited us to join, but we politely declined because we were a bit embarrassed to intrude, being almost complete strangers.

[@kats_journey_east]

Omg, you declined ? Such a tragedy😭
