Father and son. I love this video I love watching your father's having full admiration for this old man's simple life. Don't you wish you could have this back in UK??? Chinese people by nature are very friendly,non-aggressive. Sadly this is slowly changing for the younger generations because of these anti-china rhetoric from the Five eyes. Nevermind, this reminds me of those days when I was living in HK (NT). My grandfather was the most friendliest person on earth, always smiling, smoking one of his rolled up cigarettes, even offered his tobaccos to the British soldiers, when they were doing military military exercise upon the hills. Good old days. But will not return. Apologies, my uncle should offer both of you Green tea with some organic honey.

I went back to rural China back in 2007 to explore my roots. A tiny village community. What people dont know is that the Gov actually expanded electricity and running water access to these very remote areas. They also created aqua farming facilities for them. They didnt have to BUT THEY DID. Not a lot of people know this. This is why the people of China trust their government.
This time you are very lucky. I believe that 84-year-old old man will always remember this experience. I hope that more Westerners can understand the real China after seeing this video, instead of listening to the fake news from BBC and CNN.Thank you Barrett👍
