This is the kind of American influence we need to show the world.

He shows the real American spirit back in the old days, the young generation of America today as been corrupted almost to the core by their congressman! Good thing I still see a few good kids helping in the project!

[@SlimJim3082]

Not only u Americans, it's everyone. It's our governments making us hate each other.

[@cyrus3665]

What a beautiful project! A singular home can bring together so many people. Congrats Dr. Flower and all the volunteers!

[@RonicaAlfred]

Absolutely beautiful and what a collaboration. This is so important to the understanding of other cultures. Thank you for sharing.

[@HeresMyView]

Thank you Dr John Flower. This is an amazing awesome project that bridge cultural understanding, cultural exchanges, collaborations, and cooperations in all aspects. The visa issue almost derail it but it cannot stop the people from both sides to reach out to help each other. The human spirit of friendships, determination and collaborations cannot be stopped. 👍👍🤜🤛 The spirit of this product, China Folk House is located in Parkersburg, WV near the Shenandoah River.

Imagine an ancient monument coming to life- borne by ideas and good intentions. The whole process literally blooms during the development to the astounment of those involved. And still happening. Creativity is the key. Goodwill unfolds what comes naturally to the joy of everyone.

[@Jjirehc]

Awesome. Hopefully you can bridge the gap between China and the US and heal the divide through truth and love for peace.

[@jaydee6268]

And let Taiwan remain in peaceful separation from the Party’s authority.

@jaydee6268 will the US allow peace when it profits from wars?

[@aizhongwen]

Great project, the world needs more professional persons like you to create a wonderful peaceful cultural collaboration with eastern countries.

[@AdoptHospitality]

This is SO nice! I’d like to go visit the house in the US. In which part of Yunnan was this house located? How did you get the owner agreed on the sale and the logistic issue is so interesting. There must be loads of work, preps, monetary and permit issues involved. The environmental and culture aspects for me in particular is really amazing, magical even. I asked many questions while traveling a small part of the town there. Yunnan is vast. Love to be able to come visit!

[@atky7032]

Super respect to you sir!

Amazing project. People to people exchange is a critical for the future the future of humanity.

That’s why the great fire wall of the PRC should be torn down now.

[@PVLTD]

Amazing efforts and story. I hope the recent US’s $1.6b China propaganda overseas bill will not destroy the peace coexistence between both countries and its people.

[@jaydee6268]

The Party’s state media hasn’t so I doubt this the VOA will.

[@inkbold8511]

Imagine if h th at 1.6b was used to build understanding between two countries instead of divisio.

How much is total cost again?

[@inkbold8511]

Just one question: how many 40ft containers did you use to ship that house? 😆 How much is the freight cost?

[@grandwonder5858]

Awesome! What an awesome display of friendship between two people and cultures! Hopefully the US government doesn’t screw this learning center up like it did with the Confucius Institutes that used to be in college campuses across the US, but was shut down by the US government in order to fulfill the US government’s quest to stop people-to-people interactions between the American and the Chinese people so that the US government could introduce its anti-China propaganda and policies without being challenged by the people of the Confucius Institutes that US government’s anti-China propaganda is based on lies and that its policies are unwarranted since none of the US government’s accusations against China is true and that China is not out to get the US whatsoever! I hope somebody would show this video to our bigoted anti-China government officials on how to foster a win/win relationship with China instead of always showing animosity towards China all the time! The world needs the two biggest superpowers to start working together to solve many problems that are plaguing our planet, but that would only happen if the US government officials would start changing their attitude from a hostile one towards China to an amicable one. They need to change their arrogant attitude that the US must be #1 at all times and that any country that stands shoulder-to-shoulder with the US in rankings must be eliminated! Such an attitude would only force the US to be in constant wars with other countries, which is what has been happening since the birth of the USA, but we must stop that trend and start a new one that is friendlier and more cooperative in nature with other countries in order to foster a healthy and helpful relationship for all countries, especially for the US who needs the most attitude adjustments in learning to work with other countries and learn to accept other countries’ rise instead of always wanting to knock down those countries that rise all the time!

One point of INTEREST 🔨 nail ends of Flooring, lap siding, joists, rafters,etc... Down size To a minimum... 6 inches or So ! You can cul lots of questionable ends of salvage ( think width of joist or rafter, then split... Couple of inches. Gives you options to trim off bad split ends ! )
