Our Journey from China to Sweden

[@tineryn]

Since you'll be in Sweden for so long, it would be really cool if Yonghong wanted to make a video about his perspective/experience living there, just like how you usually show your view of the community he grew up with in Qinghai. Also, a vote for a cottage tour!

[@MiriamFollin]

He will launch his own channel soon! You can subscribe already I think, the channel is called "Yonghong 米粒的一家＂ we set it up today! 😁 Not ure when we'll be able to start posting though.

[@cheryleewilcox3903]

I agree 💞 I can't wait to see the cottage.

[@rm8824]

@@MiriamFollin could you add it to the related channels on your KZbin page? I tried searching for it, but I am pretty sure that youtube channels won't show up on search results-- even if you search the exact name-- if they don't already have a lot of subscribers and/or videos. I've had that experience with other new/small channels.

Sansan is such an amazingly well behaved little boy. I cannot believe he keeps his face mask on. He was brilliant on the plane and such a joy to see. It doesn't seem long since you were in Sweden last time. Big love

[@wendybrierley5412]

Yes, he is talking well. So happy to see you made it in Sweden. All the best for the arrival of new baby.

@@wendybrierley5412 Sansan is an absolute credit to Miriam and her husband. I'm looking forward to the birth of baby number 2.

[@white_clover767]

Your husband is so brave, its a huge change for him. My husband is also from a very remote rural area. I cant imagine going to my former country. I started crying when he cried.

[@SyifaAdriana]

So glad to see all of you again, Miriam xx

[@MiriamFollin]

Syifa! What's the best way to contact you outside of KZbin?? I always get lost among my comments,especially recently when life in general is a little overwhelming. Think about you often! ❤️

[@SyifaAdriana]

@@MiriamFollin I am currently in the UK, technically closer to you in the physical distance! I assume we can still use the same WeChat account we used to communicate with? :-) Please be kind to yourself and no need to apologize for taking some time to make videos. Paperwork, traveling back home while during pregnancy are a lot to go through and I am sure your audience only wants the best for you. I watched the entire video and loved every single of it xx

[@nonnieiona8593]

Sansan is doing so well during your trip and your stay! It must be fun for him to hear Swedish all around him now. I felt for YH as well when saying goodbye to his family. It must be weird! Have a wonderfull ending of your prenancy and all the good luck for the labor and first days!

[@MiriamFollin]

Thank you so much! ❤️ We're very lucky to have Sansan be such an "easy" child, he doesn't require too much to be happy 😊

[@WokOverEasy]

@Bat Man parents fault always! Your kid turns out how you raised them.

[@ililnavehbenjamin]

Honghong’s voice breaking when parting from his family was very sad to see. Like you, I also have family in different countries (Israel, Spain, and US) and it can be very hard, because you’re always many months away from some of the people you love the most. Glad you made it safely. Would love to see videos of the cottage and of Sansan exploring the forest. By the way, he is so cute and sooooo well-behaved! My own 4 year-old did not behave nearly as patiently and cheerfully as Sansan does at this same age.

[@talie6236]

I felt emotional when your hubby held up the camera and had his parents and family in view at the airport and he got emotional. 😭 God bless you all.

[@yinglee7672]

Hooray, I am so glad you made it safely home. I was worried for you that you might not make it home in time.

[@MiriamFollin]

I'm so happy too, that we made it ❤️ Thank you!

[@DeliaLee8]

So glad to see you made it to Sweden. Take care of yourself. Whenever you have time to make videos we will be ready. But no rush. All the best to you and family. And I wish you a safe and comfortable delivery. :)

[@helgaioannidis9365]

Miriam your video made me cry. So many emotions in one video. I've been living abroad for 25 years now and have a binational marriage. So I could relate to a lot of things you are going through and seeing your young family remebered me when my children were little. I'm so relieved you are in Sweden and can get the treatment needed for you and the baby to be safe. Here in Greece we wish pregnant women a good delivery and that's what I wish you, too. I'm sure Yonghong will have some difficult moments in the next months,he has a difficult task to take care of his wife and a baby and your lovely son and all this far away from his home and family. So I wish him to trust in himself and to trust in future. You are a great family!!! With lots of love from Greece I want to thank you for all those emotions and memories you gave me today ❤️

[@ladiesdays]

So happy for you Miriam. It was so sad to see you parting with Yonghong's family, but the love in your eyes when you returned to your own family was beautiful. Hope everyone stays warm and well.

[@MiriamFollin]

Yes, we've put ourselves in a difficult situation having families in two different countries 💔 But we're doing our best!

[@MariaAlvarez-sm8bv]

San San is the most beautiful little boy I've ever seen and adorably well behaved. I'm so glad the there of you are back again with us and I'm also quite excited with your coming "adventures" in Sweden. Good, good, good luck guys!!!

Good luck in Sweden, good health for all of you! Can we all just take a minute and give Sansan some virtual love, he is getting so big, so sweet and the way he speaks so well. Hugs Sansan from Michigan!

[@esteeinsweden]

Welcome back ! Its lots of snow here in Sweden, hopefully you have enough warmer cloth. I know how you and your husband feel. I feel so bad watching him cried, he reminds me of myself leaving Singapore 23 years ago. What a journey!

He and yonghong definitely can be good friends .they both have similar characters.

Oh Miriam, I’m so happy to see this vid. Sansan is such a beautiful precious little boy❤️ and I bet your parents and siblings are glad to be spending some time with him and you’ll. I know Yonghong was very sad to leave his parents, they are wonderful I hope he doesn’t feel too sad on Chinese NY day! I’m so glad you are near a forest and I look forward to wild berry and mushroom picking season. Please keep us updated once you’ve settled into the cottage, but take it easy it’s going to be a little hectic once the baby comes. I hope Yonghong will settle into his Swedish lessons well and soon, it will be much easier for him, like it was for you being able to speak the language if not it can be isolating. Good luck with everything, and this is the happiest I’ve seen you! your smile is just reaches your heart I can see it. ❤️🙏

You are now very advanced in your pregnancy and have travelled from one side of the world to the other. Be gentle with yourself. Uploading vlogs will come in all good time. Have enjoyed following your journey from Australia. The quality and diversity is entertaining and educational. I have been to China twice but not to the area you have settled in. It is always fascinating to see how local people live. I hope your coming baby’s birth goes well and look forward to seeing your family settle into Sweden again.

What a beautiful video, Miriam. It was so touching to see the juxtiposition of Younghong's missing his family as you left, and the joy of coming to Sweden. I am wishing you the best for the New Year, and I, for one, would love to see a cottage video whenever you have the change to create it!

[@michaelyblam]

Thank you for sharing your lives Yonghong, Miriam and Sansan. May you all be blessed much as a family. It would be a BIG change for Yonghong. The new culture, the different traditions, the Swedish language, the surroundings, the Western food and soon, the new addition to the family...I hope he is not too homesick and is able to adapt fast.

[@estherlye3053]

Thank you for sharing your awesome journey - your family is an inspiration for tenacity, resilience, and optimism. It's a big change for Yong Hong to leave his hometown and family to start a new life with you in Sweden but he is so brave and positive about it, and most of all, he has you and San San, and your little baby who is due soon. Indeed your family is the epitome of Love and Happiness! San San is absolutely adorable and will be a wonderful 哥哥. Am so happy for you, Miriam, that you are finally back on home soil with your loved ones. This cottage will be where more memories will be created as you begin a new milestone. Thank you once again for sharing such a big part of your life in China, and now I look forward to your stories from Sweden. All the best from Singapore!

I'd love to see a tour of the cottage and how you are prepping for baby. i've been anxious to see you arrive home in Sweden after your last video with all the complications.

[@thepochade5992]

So glad you go home safely. Wishing you a safe, uncomplicated delivery and healthy little bundle of joy. I understand being torn between your home and your husbands country.

I have a little boy (now 5 so not so little anymore maybe) from Hangzhou. We became a family through adoption 3 years ago and your travel video reminded me of our own very long journey, including paper work, waiting and a little boy who wouldn't settle down and fall asleep until the plane reached Gotland. I wish we can travel back to amazing China someday soon ♥️🌼 from Skåne
