这一辈老人吃了三辈人的苦，才有了现在的中国，看到他们晚年幸福，令人感动，祝他们身体健康❤❤❤

[@wilkowanders]

在现实生活中看到真是太高兴了 💗

[@bbq222888]

You can also feel how much people enjoy their lives and how much they love their country

[@wilkowanders]

💯

[@dianenelson6849]

Chinese grandmas& grandpas are having much happier and vibrant retirement life, rich or poor. Here in the States, many seniors in their 70s are still working to make ends meet, you can easily find them among grocery store cashiers.

[@ez3422]

In China, man retires at the age of 60 and woman at the age of 55.

[@wilkowanders]

Its an interesting point about the retirement age!

[@JinZou-v5h]

This is the daily life in Chinese parks

[@henrykum-nr7bw]

台灣公園是用來談論政治鬥爭和民主自由示威遊行的

[@wilkowanders]

It was amazing to experience 💗

[@weijiaCAI]

@@henrykum-nr7bw 真的假的，你们是不是人人都关心政治啊，大陆这边就一般，大家大关注自己的生活。政治这种事情让专门搞政治的人搞，从基层慢慢做起，从政几十年后最后才有机会上任，不是什么行业的人都能来搞政治，什么牙医的什么的都来选市长在我看来就很夸张。

[@peanut0brain]

Yes but boring

[@tswong2409]

Extremely beautiful lifestyle in China, getting older but leads a happy life.. ❤❤❤

[@wilkowanders]

It was an afternoon full of so much joy!

[@winnieseeful]

Happiness is actually very simple, singing and dancing in the park with a group of like-minded friends and will forget all worries. Looking forward to your next wonderful journey!

[@LW78321]

What I love about parks in China is that it's safe and vibrant, used by everyone, particularly the older generation who love to dance and sing, and play chess

[@wilkowanders]

It was one of the busiest parks I have been to in a long time!

[@dasgupta9288]

This is good indicator of quality of life and satisfactions

[@wilkowanders]

💯 I hope I am so happy in my later life!

[@billhearing3355]

Is this China? People are so happy.

[@wilkowanders]

It is! So much joy and love 💗

[@jchen4365]

That's what all anti- CHINA government don't want you see, Communism can bring a harmony happy strong health society

[@bbq222888]

The lives of the elderly in China are very colorful.The park is where they find friends who share their hobbies.

[@wilkowanders]

so true!

[@georwoogle]

😄😄😄 What a free, vibrating, and happy society! Lots of respect and admiration. 👍👍👍

[@wilkowanders]

It really was, So much love and warmth there 💗

[@kirbyhuang5609]

Good to have a fun in China

[@wilkowanders]

It really was so much fun 🤩

[@jesical-p4q]

人民公园，鲁迅公园，都是很热闹的

[@Clairo99]

Very harmonious, very friendly and very happy😆

[@wilkowanders]

It was so harmonious. Great to see so much joy and love 💗

[@thewritergrl]

This vlog has put me in such a good mood. I love to see people happy

[@wilkowanders]

[@distrustful.000]

Wild and crazy 😂fun though

[@wilkowanders]

It really was fun and so unexpected! 🙏

[@tyrealqq]

Love the vibe❤

[@bystander228]

So joyful and healing, I really want to join them.

[@wilkowanders]

It was infectious! 💗

[@FrankZhang-pj9nn]

这些退体的老一辈人唱的这些歌曲大都是1980年以前的歌曲，这和他们的年龄相关，你可能听不懂，多数是赞美国家，赞美社会的老歌曲，是老一辈人对国家的真情表达，也是他们对自己青春的一种回忆。

[@wilkowanders]

感谢您分享此信息。有趣的是了解这些歌曲来自以前的时代。很高兴通过他们的音乐和签名看到他们的经历和历史

[@patlee7986]

Omg you can dance 😜… cute 🥰

[@wilkowanders]

🕺 Thank you! I do not think its that good! 🤦‍♂️

[@ymca7242]

上海很靚景色，見你亦很開心。 要上上海中心看一看高空的景色東方明珠電視塔亦都要去看看。

[@wilkowanders]

感谢您对上海的评价和建议。下次我回来时我会将其添加到我的列表中！

[@rickace132]

Now, this is living. I'm stuck in my room, pretty much every single day.

[@wilkowanders]

Sorry to hear that 💗

[@halfdropofink]

Nice sharing and thanks! 😍😍😍

[@wilkowanders]

Your welcome, thank you for your comment 🙏

[@weijiaCAI]

The uncles and aunts in the park are mostly people in their sixties and seventies, who have worked hard alongside the development of the Republic. Their current happy life hasn't come easily. I hope things continue to get better.

[@wilkowanders]

They seem full of so much joy and love now

[@weijiaCAI]

@@wilkowanders Yes, they achieved this through their own hard work, and they deserve everything they have.

[@ka0950]

Bro, next time if you come to China, you can challenge the Cliff road in Huashan(Mountain Hua), it’s one of the most dangerous hiking trails in the world

[@wilkowanders]

Thanks for the recommendation. I will check that out next time I come to China for my trip 2.0! 🙏

[@wuyufei1980]

I laughed and watched it, so happy that these old men and old ladies

[@ez3422]

in China, man retires at the age of 60 and woman retires at the age of 55. So, compared to those old people in western, they actually are not so old.

[@wilkowanders]

It was such a beautiful afternoon 💗

[@wuyufei1980]

@@wilkowanders yes

[@samkieran]

Christmas comes early for you James and only in China !!! 😂. I would be crying bucket if its was me...

[@wilkowanders]

Thanks, It was a private Christmas performance from a choir! Very emotional! 💗

[@ZyY-c9q]

你的笑容真的太真诚了～！很有感染力！！！

[@wilkowanders]

谢谢你，你说得真好 😃

Full self enjoyment, 😂, so safe.

[@wilkowanders]

So much love 💗

[@leoyoung8936]

I grew up going to to this park as a child half century ago and seeing this in your video makes me want to cry too, not for feeling sad but thinking of the old day with a bit of sentimentality. Thanks for sharing this with all the KZbin viewers.

[@wilkowanders]

Your very welcome, I glad the video can bring back some memories for you. It was truly a beautiful experience for me.

[@edwardlaw797]

Yes, now we live in a big house, gated but alone. Not in China mind that.

[@欣-b9w]

It's interesting😊

[@wilkowanders]

Thank you for comment 🙏

中国的老人应该是全世界最幸福的老人吧😄没有工作压力，生活安定有了保障，孩子都成家立业了，国家强大，社会安稳，物资丰富，物美价廉

[@swee-chekyeoh3876]

Luxin Park - I will definitely visit this place n have fun with these senior citizens n party all day with them. Imagine getting high without need for whisky. Have to learn to sing some of the songs though

[@wilkowanders]

It was such a great feeling of joy being with these elders. It is worth visiting to experience 😃

[@XinLeo-x5g]

Wow, you experienced retirement in advance.It's a pity that you didn't meet Pablo Picasso in the park🤣

The grandpa sang Edelweiss really well ☺️

[@wilkowanders]

He was such a great signer

[@libo8316]

if you understand the lyrics, those songs are all sang for our country, and that time should be during the national day holiday

[@wilkowanders]

💗 Thank you for explaining that 🙏

[@陈懂-t6x]

笑死我了，太有意思了，特别是挥舞国旗的时候，期待你的下次中国🇨🇳之行～

[@wilkowanders]

谢谢。整个下午非常有趣，非常享受成为小组的一员 💗

[@madmanjshum]

The ultimate question is would a Chinese person be welcome in the same way he was treated in a western country?

[@unisa476]

我的看法是：我們中國人保有和維持我們中國人的文化和氣度等是我們的教養和該做的事。如果西方國家的人沒有這樣的氣度和文化和教養等，那是他們的事。我們不必因爲他們而拉低了我們自己的文化和氣度和教養等。

[@Sidekick618]

The ultimate answer is - I have not seem one or ever heard of one so no.

[@madmanjshum]

@@unisa476 you tell that to the USA and see if it stops stirring trouble for China in SCS and Twian?

[@洪志忠-e8g]

Your video attracts viewers willing to go there ! Singing loudly keeps you healthy aging . Communism succeeds the democrazic capitalism , showing the people's daily life ! Democracy doesn't work in the Wests but it's Chinese democracy in reality . Don't you think so ? China was invaded by others in the past so people are willing to sacrifice their lives to protect their " Motherland " . Many communists' songs represent " United we stand " . Pain remains in the their hearts forever by generations ! Military power doesn't represent army only but also the people ! The Wests must understand this philosopy ! Economic sanctions against China never work ! Any Japanese , visiting or working in China in any ages does feel sorrow to Chinese people even their TEXT BOOKS never teach a lesson of invasion and massacre during World war 2 in China but any of them knows the tragic history . ( Any Chinese all over the world has family membersor relatives or friends , killed during foreign troops invades in China ) . Chinese never let their children to attack others , Chinese foreign policies too ! So we don't need guns to protect our lives and personal property ! Chinese people pocesses practical initiative of " Charity and mercy " to help the poor or the weak ! 這就是 共產主義 勝過 瘋狂資本主義西方自由民主 ! 共產式自由民主 表現在人民臉上 . 歷史的悲痛 代代流傳在人民心中 . 比起武力 不只是軍力 而是 人民的團結力量 能保衛國家 不惜為國犧牲 ! 經濟制裁中國 永遠無效 ! 認何日本人 旅遊 或 工作 在中國 心裡都有對不起中國人 雖然他們的教科書 不教導日本人 在二次世界大戰期間 侵略 / 大屠殺 中國人 . ( 全世界 任何 中國人 都有自己的家屬 或 親戚 朋友 在 二次大戰中 被侵略中國的外國士兵 殺害 ) . 中國人 不允許 自己小孩 傷害他人 / 中國對外國政策也是如此 ! 所以 我們並不像 西方國家 住家需要槍械 保護生命 或 個人財產 ! 中國人 保有 慈悲 慈善 與 關懷弱勢 的主動實踐行為 !
