[@tuding1127]

Welcome to my hometown. As a native of Wuhan, I would like to make a brief introduction: Wuhan is divided into three regions by the Yangtze River and the Hanshui River, namely Hankou, Hanyang and Wuchang. Wuhan is known for its abundant water resources, and naturally the attractions are all water-related. The most famous of these is the 'Yellow Crane Tower', an ancient building overlooking both sides of the river, and the river beaches on both sides of the Yangtze (a must-see at night), followed by the 'East Lake', China's largest inner-city lake. In addition to its beauty, Wuhan's main attraction is its breakfast (pronounced 'guo zao' in the local dialect) culture. Wuhan's local carb-rich breakfasts are inexpensive and come in hundreds of varieties. In fact, the street where you go to eat 'dou pi', 'Tube Alley', is not the ideal location for local snacks; for authentic Wuhan food, we recommend 'liang dao street'. Despite its many attractions, Wuhan is not really a tourist city and its economy is dominated by industry, education, transportation and commerce. If you go to the Wuchang district, which is full of colleges and universities, the language communication problem should be better. Finally, thank you for coming to Wuhan and showing the beauty of this city and have fun in Wuhan.

Wuhan hosted the World Military Games (whose opening ceremony is still available on ytb) in October 2019 and in the next month or two, the pandemic emerged in the city. coincidence? The US Military sent a team of military athletes to Wuhan in that event and it was said a female athlete from the Team USA called Bennasse was sick and visited the hospital in Wuhan at that time, not too far from the seafood market which was the epicenter of the pandemic a month later. It was obvious that the US military planted COVID into Wuhan in the World Military Games.

[@张雷-t9x]

After visiting so many places in China, you should find that each city is clean, tidy and orderly compared with the west. Some people think that this is the starting point of the epidemic, but China people think that it originated from the 7th military world games in Wuhan in October 2019. At that time, the United States sent a large team of more than 300 people, and only got 0 gold medals, 3 silver medals and 5 bronze medals. As a big sports country, the number of medals won was very mismatched. At that time, five players had symptoms of infectious diseases such as fever, cough and diarrhea, which was associated with the phenomenon of white lung disease around Dirk Ridderborg virus in the United States before. I believe the root of the virus came from the United States. 去了这么多中国的地方，你应该会发现每个城市相比西方都很干净，整洁，有秩序，有人认为这里是疫情的起点，但是中国人认为源自武汉2019年10月的第七届世界军人运动会，美国当时派去了300多人的大队伍，结果只得到0金牌，3银牌和5铜牌，作为一个体育大国得到的奖牌数量十分不匹配，而当时有5名选手出现发烧、咳嗽和腹泻等传染病症状，联想到美国之前有传出德克里德堡病毒所周围有白肺病的现象，我相信病毒的根源是从美国来

China is a people's country, so the meanings of many words are actually very different. Blockade is a terrifying term in the West, but China's blockade is only a temporary control of people's travel by the country. However, the entire institution of the country is operating, including free food delivery to all citizens. The main purpose of the blockade is to block the virus and provide buffer time for medical institutions to treat it. For new viruses, the increase in the number of infected people at the same time makes it difficult for many people to receive timely treatment, which is the biggest cause of death. All measures taken by China are aimed at reducing casualties among the public

[@安排王]

In the second half of the video, you want to know what the locals experienced at that time. I can share some: My company is in Shenzhen, a southern city in China. At the end of the year, I returned to my hometown in Hubei, a city next to Wuhan, for the Chinese New Year. Then the virus appeared, and some streets were restricted from travel. At the worst time, restrictions were imposed on residential areas. During the most difficult period, there was indeed a shortage of food. But the government sent staff and volunteers with passes to deliver food to each residential area. We just lacked the variety of food, but we did not starve. Let me talk about myself first. I had close contact with a friend who lived in Wuhan. Without knowing whether I was infected, I blocked myself. For at least 2 months, I rarely left my room and waited for my family to finish their meals before eating alone. And I disinfected the areas I stayed in before going to the toilet or eating. In order to avoid causing trouble to others, I suspended part of my business and retained the most basic business. I only contacted my employees in Shenzhen through the Internet. Through the Internet, I bought some masks to donate to Wuhan and made donations. To be honest, the long-term self-isolation has affected my health to a certain extent, and my income has been reduced by a large part. But this is voluntary, compared with the lives of me, my family and friends, these are nothing. There are more medical staff and other workers working hard to save everyone. In addition, my aunt is a frontline doctor. Their hard work is unimaginable. There is no time to eat and sleep at all. Sit down and eat a few bites of food anytime and anywhere, lie down for a while, and then continue to work. Due to insufficient manpower, all provinces and cities in China have sent medical staff to Hubei for support. There are also a lot of material assistance. Doctors and nurses will be infected at any time, and some people will sacrifice. They are the greatest. After the desperate struggle of various government structures and medical institutions, and the cooperation of ordinary people. The epidemic has been controlled and we finally won. Looking back now, it is like a dream. Some great frontline personnel and ordinary people will stay in that dream forever. I commemorate them. I thank them. I resist all man-made viruses! I hope for world peace.

[@tianwanguranus3826]

In 1911, there was another big event happened in Wuhan called "Wuchang uprising". This event fired the first shot of the famous Xinhai Revolution, which ended the monarchy system having been ruling China for more than 2000 years and leaded to the foundation of the first Republic in Asia, Republic of China. That's why there is a Shouyi (Be the first to rise in revolt) Road in Wuhan. In 2020 when Wuhan is suffering in COVID, Chinese media encouraged Wuhan by saying "Wuhan is a heroical city" because of this up rising. I think this is more memorable than the event in 2020 because it ended the old China and laid the foundation of the modern China you have seen today.

American athletes participating in the 2019 Wuhan Military Games were the "patient zero" of COVID-19 who initially caused the epidemic. A series of strange and abnormal events make the above claim reasonable and logical. The U.S. team of more than 300 athletes arrived in Wuhan to participate in the Military World Games in October 2019. During the period, five athletes developed symptoms of infectious diseases such as fever, cough, and diarrhea, and were sent to Jinyintan Hospital for treatment. The initial diagnosis was malaria. As early as July of that year, "e-cigarette pneumonia" appeared in the United States, and its symptoms were the same as those of COVID-19. At the end of September of the same year, there was a large-scale influenza outbreak in the United States. The director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention also publicly admitted that some people were mistakenly thought to have died from the virus.

Relying on the Yangtze River, Wuhan at that time had many docks, and many dock workers and citizens couldn't wait to line up. So Cai invented hot dry noodles that can be quickly completed. It does not exist for deliciousness, but for efficiency. It can quickly replenish calories and provide energy for people's physical work. And in modern times, it has been created with more delicious ways to eat. If you can find a noodle shop frequented by locals in Wuhan, you will find that there are many choices for hot dry noodles. You can add meat sauce, vegetables or meat slices, and you can even ask for soup. Finally, as a Hubei native, I would like to make some clarifications for Wuhan. I have lived in Wuhan for several years, and my family is a medical worker. My former neighbors and friends have left forever. Wuhan is a victim of the virus, not a maker. I believe many people already know the medical records that appeared in the United States before the virus appeared in Wuhan. Our government blocked traffic in Wuhan at the first time in order to control the rapid spread of the virus. The people here sacrificed themselves and bought time for the government and medical institutions. I am grateful to Wuhan.

I am a native of Wuhan, welcome to Wuhan. I recommend you to visit East Lake, the scenery there is very beautiful. We also recommend you to visit Jianghan Road Pedestrian Street, which is full of young people in Wuhan, and you can feel the vigor of the city.

[@gangliu-x8h]

You can use the Chinese map to navigate public transport

[@PinkbombUK]

Ive been there too, if you drive out a bit you will find East lake. Its a beautiful location, if youve got the legs for it, you can hike up to one of the temples for a great view of the surrounding countryside. Wish I could remember the name of it, though it was 16 years ago so my memory is a bit hazy...lol. But if you go during winter, wrap up... it can get a bit cold. Edit: I found it!!! its called Moshan Scenic Spot (磨山索道)

[@rog4464]

The claim that China covered it up can be rebutted by the fact that Macau (where I live) didn’t have an outbreak. We had hundreds of thousands (literally) of people crossing the border from mainland China every day. If mainland China did cover up and had it spread all over the country, there is no way that Macau was not affected at all. That means they discovered and stopped it in the very early stage of the development. But when the US started testing it, it's everywhere, national-wide. So, when and where did it all start?

[@michaelpattison8543]

Great to see your videos of Wuhan, my second home for more than 15 years, miss it and its people so much. The food in Hubu Xiang is awesome! ❤

[@maotoby5551]

As a native in Wuhan, I strongly recommend the East Lake, i think this lake is the essence of the city.

“Hate” is a strong word. It’s divisive. It pits people against each other. I understand the use of click baits sometimes, but words like that can divide people. Unless you are referring to someone else’s words, then quotation marks might be helpful.

😂I went to wuhan for university and before that I have never been to the city. But it’s a famous city cause in school we all had to learn and recite the poem about yellow cane tower , which is actually one of the most famous works in ancient Chinese literature. I remember the first place I visited when I was exploring the city was the yellow cane tower and I also bought postcards and sent them to my family and friends from that exact store. Your video kind of reminds me of the excitement and freshness I felt when I just got to the city .😊

Very disrespectful title. I know it’s probably clickbait, however, when you’re a guest in a country and have had a pleasant experience, do at least show some basic respect. Would you like Berlin being referred to as a former Nazi capital?

@@有求必硬男闺蜜 you may find it disrespectful as a Wuhan resident, however if you look at it another way, this "click-bait" title will lure people in who have only heard of negative things about Wuhan , and their perspective could shift/ change once they go thru the video.. before Ken's video the only thing i knew about Wuhan was that it was the birth of the pandemic , i clicked on the video and i can say my opinion has shifted and its much more positive.. Ken keep up the good work :)

Ah dear Ken , funny thing is you ask people their feeling about German auto , right on the center of French auto, China. The joint venture of PSA Peugeot Citroen Group is set right in Wuhan , Renault quiet China years ago but Nissan is still around（they are an alliance）, and guess where Nissan produces their cars in China 😊. The VW got 2 different major production base in China, one in Shanghai, one in Changchun （north-east China）,BMW's base is in Shenyang (also north-east China ) , Mercedes in Beijing.

[@悟空-m9s]

Hi Ken，I have been following your videos for long time. However I couldn't appreciate the title you of thos video neother your attitude towards Wuhan and the pandemic. Pandemic can breakout in anywhere at any time, why Wuhan sgould be blamed? It sacrified itself with lockdowns to leave the rest of the world more time to response. It's a heroic city and deserves respect.

[@linaindira7278]

He never blamed Wuhan for it though? I understand your sentiment towards the title, but he was right. During 2020 Wuhan was in every single piece of media. A lot of people talked negatively about the city and expressed frustration about the situation. Wuhan's reputation did suffer a lot because of it so, objectively speaking, it really was the most hated city. I think Ken used the title to grab people’s attention and make them change their minds about Wuhan by showcasing the true nature of the city. He praised the city's infrastructure and its people and discussed the Covid issue with the utmost respect. I understand where you’re coming from, but Ken never blamed Wuhan for the outbreak. Rather, western media, specifically in the USA, handled it disgracefully and rather poorly in terms of discrimination towards Chinese people as a whole.
