"You are from northeast China, I am a local" this sentence is too classic!! I also know that Hainan Province is now going to many, many northerners, my parents have also bought a house there, and my hometown is in the northwest of China😂😂😂

Locals mean local born.

[@beyourself.7879]

哈哈 你怎么打的英文 😂lol

[@DannyChean]

Nice one! Unble Bob, if you are reading this - most of those who asked you where you are from were not being aggressive or phobic of any kind. They were just surprised to see a non-Chinese in the middle of nowhere. They were even more surprised when you told them you live there. They just don't know how to respond.

[@nickey477]

Agree. Actually no big deal.

[@grandwonder5858]

@Danny Qin, at least they don’t tell him to go back to where he came from like so many Asian people often get told by the Americans whenever they walk by or worse get murdered by some racist lunatics (Talking to you BLM folks).

[@vikiyao]

@@grandwonder5858 but you can not "go back" when they told you "go back", if you do, Americans will call you 'traitor'😅

[@user-hc5cg3jc3i]

你怎么不说说美国对待华人华裔和亚裔呢？还有美洲本来就不是他们的，是别人印第安人原住民被屠杀掠夺而已，他们是移民国家，我们中国不是移民国家别把那种移民思想拿到中国，中国是中国人的中国，靠的是我们上下五千年历史文化文明还有我们聪明的祖先建立起来的，不是这些外国能理解中华文化和中华民族的伟大和成就，我们欢迎友好遵纪日本大多數媒體還是反中反華的，大多數日本反華和反中，畢竟日本主流是帝國主義右翼的人才还有好人来中国旅游，学习，工作，但是中国不是移民国家，别以为来了中国就以为是当地中国人没有资格敢走外国人。我们可不是移民国家靠移民发展。

[@tohrasup]

Like the black basketball players racially abused by Hans recently?

[@hengongchua6250]

This is what real freedom in a peaceful country. Even a white elderly Uncle from the western country can wander around in the remote area alone without have to worry about being robbed, bullied, or facing any discrimination. Instead, he is well respected by the friendly locals. If a Chinese elderly man doing the same thing in those 5 eyes countries, he probably be punched on the face by young local men or ask to go back to Asia.

[@shirleyskto6759]

Thanks to Katherine in sharing your life and traveling in China… show us more about my motherland… since pandemic… we can not travel and this is the only way of travel thru your channel… for sure following Uncle Bob living in China too🥰🥰🥰

From your journey to every part of China, I think it will be really interesting to visit China and experience the same experience as you.

[@Dovid2000]

"The only one of your kind here." I liked that. Mostly, birds of a feather flock together. Your British friend, Uncle Bob, is, indeed, a bird out-of-place.

very sad, just like the last of the mohicans :D

[@andrewwong2605]

Hi Kat. You are so lucky. Smart people make luck for themselves.😂

I have followed your journey for a few months now and I have found your videos very informative and entertaining, I just subscribed because I would love to kee watching.

I wish China would open up for tourism again. I so want to visit some of these places. Thank you Kath and Wei for these videos.

Hainan is indeed a tropical paradise in China. The temperatures during the winter months are very pleasant, ranging from 18'C - 26'C.

[@jerometsowinghuen]

I only know about Wuzhishan (五指山) from one Journey to the West (西遊記), one of the Four Great Classical Novels of Chinese literature. Also, enjoyed to watch that he is glad to see you in person, and a Western foreigner, too, so that he will not be alone in a peaceful life. ⛰

Love to hear your stories, Katherine. You are telling story well; I am never tired of these kind stories. After we retied, we'd love to invite you and Wei be our guest to our home too, if you visit our area (could be anywhere, lol). But guess at that time you might be too famous, and being a celebrity probably would make you inapproachable by then!!!

[@margaretabendroth8658]

Wonderful. Glad to see you and Wei are doing well. I love this place you just showed us. God Bless you both. Your devoted friend from Florida.

[@PS-383]

Didn't know the 'snowbird' phenomena is so prevalent in China. It is definitely a very Canadian thing. Learned something new from this video.

[@dimitrioskarastamatis4919]

I really love your videos, the people you talk to and the scenery is just wonderful! I feel very warm and happy when I see you and your husband {don`t want to leave him out} in this fog I live in called the u.s.! They have passed a law that states the u.s. government won`t tolerate Americans speaking up against the government but it won`t be permanent while they are arresting Americans for any reason they want. It should sound familiar if you read and know History! Thanks for all that you do and for the smiles, we need you!!!!

Hi. Uncle Bob. Happy CNY to you and wife. And many more CNY.

[@gktang3925]

Uncle Bob, what a happy, grey hair foreigner, yet a local in Hainan Island. The weather of Hainan, may be compared with Thailand or Vietnam.There are many Russians, and Northern Chinese would spend their winter in Hainan.

[@thisiskevin1000]

as well as Japanese, South Koreans and a number of Europeans too

[@ujohnmike2293]

Katherine, love your zeal to push on on to every nook and corners around China ( is a big place to explore ). 👏👏👏 And you able to converse in Mandarin 👍

[@rebecca2950]

👍❤️❤️Happy Valentine’s Day Katherine, your background made me feel like I’m just right there with you and following your bike to whenever you go . Mom is gone just a few hours later after I saw your last message . When I woke up this morning I forgot she left . I used to grab my phone just to click your video to go to her room as part of my routine to tell her mom let’s see what’s new with Katherine today even though it’s the same video but I accompany her to watch the same one over and over cause mom has dementia but she has already remembered you because we watched too many times . I used to click your video no matter if it a new one or we just play the same video over and over . From now on I will watch your video alone and thinking about all memories I had with mom while we were watching together . We never know what’s going to happen tomorrow it’s why we must treat each day is the last day and try to live our life the fullest will always cherish every moment we can spend time with our loved ones so we have no regret . Mom loved natural and animals . Mom also told me “ Katherine is a very special young lady who loves to explore China and learn so much about history and culture differences through many people just by listening how fluently her mandarin is to know how much passion she has “ How you feel is how I feel for America and I experience the same kind of difficulties even much longer than you do ever since I was little but that doesn’t change my love for many people who live around me and many of them do care about me and love me dearly specially many of my friends here in US and some of them are white , Latin Asian black as well . they all have been very supportive through out my life until now Even the government here initiate any inappropriate language towards people like me but their selfishness doesn’t change my passion for my community and my friendship with many of my friends here . It doesn’t change my vision to live the fullest of my life and how much my love and caring for people will never end . I have faith in God . I hope you do too . Love is to forgive as how God always forgive me as how my parents used to forgive me that’s true love and that’s the real definition of Love .I will always always be there for you and encourage you and think about you no matter where you are . Do not give up your dream . You must realize no situation is permanent, no one can be number 1 forever but what’s the most important thing is never give up our hope . Never stop loving , forgiving and support each other no matter where we live . We are all living in the same planet . Don’t forget that ! I hope one day we could cross each other hug each other to say that we finally made it .Even though losing my mom made me devastated but I remind myself mom is rested in peace would want me to continue my journey and I want to care about people as I always do . I will always support your blog for as long as I have a phone . Mom used to watch with me that light up her daily life . I will pretend she is next to me whenever I see you with beautiful villages and many kind people in China in your future video . Thinking about you . Please take care ❤️🥰

[@kats_journey_east]

Happy Valentine’s Day to you too and so sorry to hear about your mother, my condolences 😭😭😭hope these videos can help a little to cheer you up during this sad time 💔 may she Rest In Peace 🍂
