New York City, which is one of the most popular tourist cities on earth. It is dirty, packed full of homelessness, falling apart and tons of crime. Paris and London are the SAME!

There are many reasons why China is misunderstood. First, some Western countries led by the United States do not like things that are different from them, especially political systems and religious beliefs. They lack tolerance and equality; second, China's rapid progress has made some The country feels very uncomfortable. They have lost their long-standing sense of superiority and pride as the center of the world, resulting in jealousy and even hatred. Thirdly, most of the major social software and media on the Internet are controlled by Americans. For a long time, they have been encouraging Content that vilifies China while limiting the dissemination of content that is beneficial to China. Therefore, I want to pay tribute to you for showing you the real China. You can also point out things you feel uncomfortable. As long as it is objective and fair, we can accept it with an open mind and continue to improve.

When traveling in China, there is no need to worry too much because there are no firearms, drugs, or pornography here. Even if you go out at night, you won't encounter dangerous gang members. In China, people believe in the police, so when you encounter difficulties, please seek the help of the police. The only thing to worry about is whether you have enough money with you.

In China, Kilograms called "gong jin"(公斤) or "qian ke"(千克), but Chinese weight scaling is different, called "hua jin"(华斤, Chinese jin) or "shi jin"(市斤, Market jin), or you can simply named it "jin" (斤) in China, all the same. 1 "jin" is equivalent to 500 grams, means 1 Kilograms (gong jin) = 2 jin, so when someone told you ￥35 for 1 jin, means ￥70/Kg. it's easy to convert. Love your channel, hope this helps. Have a nice trip. (Some old Englishman may also like to call "jin" "catty" and "shi jin" "city catty", which also means half a Kg or 500 grams, but in order to avoid misunderstanding, I think it is better to call it "jin" for your future travel😂)

The “fruit” that the man sells is called Jin Xiang Guo, which is not actually a fresh fruit, but a plum marinated with sugar. Not recommended. The brown sugar GuoKui sold by that woman is a traditional snack in Chengdu. GuoKui was a staple food for soldiers, laborers, and travelers in ancient times, so it is a high calorie food, which is what you call satiety. GuoKui is made from raw materials such as regular flour, yeast, brown sugar, crushed peanuts, and black sesame.

@@chenrenp 中国几千年来彻底解决吃饱饭问题也就是近二三十年的事情，除了那三年其他时期粮食产量增速改开后并没有比前三十年更高，只不过前三十年人均粮食产量被快速增长的人口所抹平，以及为了发展重工业推行的工农剪刀差拿走了农民的剩余产出，而重工业是国家安身立命的基础，也是改开和后来发展的一切基础，而且你如果用心了解就会发现1978到1999的经济增长也并没有明显比前三十年更高，你要明白我们的国家是建立在一个怎样的基础上，所以把前三十年和后四十年分开看本身就是一种春秋笔法，一种人为制造刻板印象的把戏。

The price of fruit is 70 one kilogram, and "kilogram" {1000 grams} is the unified unit of measurement in China. However, there are many places where "jin" {500 grams} is commonly used, which can cause confusion for those who are not familiar with it. Therefore, before buying, it is important to ask clearly. The man in the video initially mentioned 35 as the price of 500 grams, and later mentioned 70 as the price of 1000 grams. Buy in small quantities and give it a try. The price of 70 yuan per kilogram is not expensive. If you buy in large supermarkets or farmers' markets, the price will be cheaper.
