The Side of China You've NEVER Seen 🇨🇳

[@CHENJIJIJI]

Those two old men are really friendly. They suggested that you slow down your drinking pace so that you can appreciate the beauty of Baijiu and it is less likely for you to get drunk, which is beneficial to your health. They won't take your money because in China, friendship is more important than money. Hutongs are not slums. In Beijing, people living in hutongs are old residents who have lived here for generations. They own the houses, so they don't need to pay rent. Given the housing prices in Beijing, these two old men are rich and don't lack money. They just want to enjoy the wonderful time with you in a friendly way. China is a country that attaches great importance to friendship, tradition, and family. I wish you a pleasant journey!

[@klauslayard7469]

Most of your words are exactly right! But they are not rich people. Although the location of their house is very near the center of Beijing, they won't or can't sell house in Hutong for cash. That's why they don't look like rich man. And of course they can feed themselves, just normal standard.

[@dakraol6680]

@@klauslayard7469 If they are willing to sell their hutong houses, they will become rich. The price of hutong houses in this location is 40,000 US dollars per square meter. The average size of each hutong house is about 200 square meters. Do the math yourself.

[@chengcheng2550]

@@dakraol6680 You don't know the reality of Beijing. These old people are not rich people. Many people in hutong houses only live in 10-30 square meters, and if these houses are sold, they may be about 150,000 yuan per square meter. The money obtained could only buy very small or suburban houses elsewhere in Beijing. From the clothes and mannerisms, they should have ordinary jobs or have retired, and their monthly income is not much, I estimate less than $1,000. But because they are actually ordinary Chinese (even poor ones in Beijing), their hospitality is all the more valuable, isn't it? ----- This comment is written by a 40-year-old living in Beijing

@SLAVAUKRAINI-cb5vt Those people who did that in the UK are nasty (not there, based on what I saw through the videos). To your question, Yes, for example, on 11pm 8th May 2012, right in Beijing, a British man tried to rape a girl in the open air and fight with whoever tried to stop him. This was on the local news every where, but I guess you don't know this as it is too shame to be reported in the UK? There are nasty people everywhere, no country or nation or race is special.

This is indeed a relatively common drinking scene and habit in China. When drinking is paired with delicious dishes, it can not only add flavor, but also make the drinking process more rich and enjoyable.

[@junqu520]

Friends, we Chinese people welcome the world compatriots to come to our country, as long as you are honest and objective expression. As you can see, the language barrier does not break our warm welcome to your arrival. In the big cities of China, many young people can speak some English, but in order to better communicate and experience the local culture, you can prepare translation software before you come

The communication between people who don’t understand the language is really sincere and interesting. This video may be partially restricted. Huge respect!

As a Chinese born Canadian… Jack/Paige… you are both my most favorite dual travel vlogger. You both have an open mindset, giving yourself and us the opportunity to have the same travel experience whilst just watching your videos. It’s a breath of fresh air! We are living in a different world these days… having to live through covid… many ppl (Chinese) have been a victim, been demonized by the pandemic. I truly wish with your videos… everyone can be more open to other cultures, embrace one another’s language and food. Thank you so so much for your effort and time to explore, and learn the truth of China and the ppl. God bless you both!

How interesting it is that obviously you two speak different languages, your Chinese level can not understand his meaning, the old man also does not understand English, but you are in a variety of misunderstandings produced friendship, it shows that as long as the positive attitude, human beings do not need language can understand each other and become good friends! This is peaceful social relations! It's so touching❤

Hutongs are the most expensive areas in China, but they are not something that can be bought with money. The people who own houses in hutongs is over one million yuan. They live in hutongs in the center of Beijing because they have many convenient conditions, such as better school admission qualifications. Hutongs are not slums.

[@JackAynsleyTravel]

I didn't know this! It's crazy how different places can be "online" vs "real life"

[@diffractionlee3639]

The properties in some Hutong areas (those within 5km radius of Tiananmen square) are more expensive than London​@@JackAynsleyTravel

[@r7zenith]

These guys are local Beijingners. They own the place, so no rent. These houses are not to be sold. Can be rented or given back to the government and get a few apartments in the suburbs.

[@JackAynsleyTravel]

Oh wow I didn’t know that!

[@daxialong6537]

one snall old house = 1 million dollar.

[@WAW90]

​@@JackAynsleyTravel 就是因为经济发展了，导致他们资产多现金少，如果卖了老房子给政府就会获得很多现金，但是买不起当地的房子，需要去更远的地方才可能买得起房子。It is because of the economic development that they have more assets and less cash. If they sell their old houses to the government, they will get a lot of cash, but they cannot afford to buy a local house, and they need to go farther to buy a house.

[@WAW90]

​@SLAVAUKRAINI-cb5vt There are also British people who came to China to sell drugs and were sentenced to death for violating Chinese law.

[@IwanSiS1]

@SLAVAUKRAINI-cb5vt 我来说一下我了解的这件事情，个人观点仅供参考。首先他们不是游客，是在录制电视节目。刚开始气氛很好，他们去英国网红大叔那里，希望能使用一下公共钢琴，大叔便友好地让给他们用了。当他们弹上钢琴后才看到大叔正在直播，所以又跟大叔沟通，希望能不要直播正在录制的内容，以免节目内容提前泄露。他们之间的沟通产生了误会，中国的电视工作者英语并不流畅，他没有表达清楚缘由，只说了自己有保密合同，并且不知道自己使用了命令的口吻。这是因为中国的部分英语教学并不严谨，并且由于在中国国内没有语境练习不堪实用。英国大叔听了这些话有些恼火，觉得这几个中国人的要求很自我、口气强硬。以上都是因为误会造成的矛盾，我觉得是完全能够理解的。双方争执起来以后，中国电视工作者在英语能力有限，不了解当地法律风俗的前提下，下意识的用了我有肖像权这个在中国常用的说法，虽然可以理解但确实会让英国大叔和其他网友感到冒犯和不舒服。英国大叔则指出在英国公共场合拍摄不受限制，双方已然在各自的世界和情绪里难以沟通。英国大叔气愤的同时，也了解怎样可以制造热点话题、带来流量。于是他利用这一点，说了一些带有贬低或歧视性质的词语，如在西方叙事中带有贬义的共产主义国家等。在直播中给中国人的情绪煽风点火，又带动英国网友的对立情绪。使个体之间因语言不通、不了解当地文化所引起的纠纷，上升到国家、人民层面这一西方媒体乐于炒作的矛盾。于是冲突彻底爆发。所以在我看来，这件事可以说是夹杂着英国大叔的偏见、傲慢和商业运作，中国电视工作者未做足的功课和强硬态度，因语言不通和和文化差异引起的普通纠纷，并被不当放大到了民族层面，被政客利用和宣传。

[@周子博-f2w]

Let me clarify one thing, the gentlemen in the Hutong are not short of money. If you know the value of their house, you will be shocked. In addition, in China, giving money directly is embarrassing, usually treating younger generations or their employees. If you want to express gratitude, you should send gifts.

[@JackAynsleyTravel]

Thank you for letting me know. This was our first day in china so still getting to learn the culture, but in the end, these uncles taught us a lot and was a very valuable first day. I don't think any other people arrive in beijing, go to the southern Hutongs and drink with the locals in the street on their first day 😅

[@danielfeng1783]

​@@JackAynsleyTravel But what's interesting is that sometimes you should express your willingness to pay first, which not only shows your understanding of etiquette but also allows the host to refuse you, thus better fulfilling their desire to show hospitality.😂

[@IwanSiS1]

Be chill with theses guests who came from a completely different culture, they has just started and keen to learn it.

The first time I went to Shanghai in 2002, public toilet lacks door was a challenge to us. So female friends would go in pair with one acting as door, one female friend carried an umbrella as her way to keep privacy, lol. By 2010 world expo, Shanghai was totally different, public restrooms were clean with door, just some you have to buy toilet paper, not anymore in my last visit 2019. Look forward to visit again.

This is so interesting. Going to a strange country and having a party while chatting, hahaha. They are very worried that you will get drunk. Drinking slowly and savoring snacks slowly is a relaxed life. It is worth mentioning that the hutongs there have a history of 700 years at the earliest, and many houses are cultural relics that cannot be demolished or destroyed, so they look very old. You can understand it as civilians living near Buckingham Palace, but they were not driven away and their houses were not purchased by capitalists.

[@JackAynsleyTravel]

hahah, they were very cautious but I learned slowly!
