Why is Shanghai the Loneliest City in China?

[@MapleJokerRofl]

Just had a very recent breakup I’m still dealing with and this type of video definitely helps not feeling lonely … thank you… I just signed up for Chinese classes for 3 months .. praying I can learn it and move to China after 6 months for a few months to study and practice Chinese

[@shanghaiandi768]

Stay strong 💪

[@utge]

You can go to Dali, Yunnan Province to live for a while, many lovelorn people will go there :)

[@cinqiris]

can’t agree more. social media makes people feel lonely than ever before

[@shanghaiandi768]

Thank you for your sweet words!

Loneliness is bad for your overall health

[@FromDkWithLove]

The facts are important in setting up the framework, but mostly I really liked those added personal touches, like the story about your friend and your message at the end. You had some great observations too. Man, I'd love to see some more qualitative type videos on social issues in Shanghai from a personal perspective. Or just stories from people's lives. The good, the bad, the ugly. Anyways, great stuff, man.

[@shanghaiandi768]

Thank you man, great comment as well! I wnjoyed reading it a lot and will consider your advice about people’s life stories

​@@shanghaiandi768Reading @FromDkWithLove 's comment made me realize that's the common thread in most of the videos and channels I watch on KZbin (including this one, even tho I was originally looking for something else!) - well-researched but also with personal experiences and anecdotes from/about the local community. This is the first video of yours I've seen, but I think you did this really well, and that it's a really good style /approach that people tend to resonate with.

[@shanghaiandi768]

@@moxiebombshell i invite you to watch some of the other ones!

[@leafmebee]

It also depends on your age, I think. And if you’ve actually worked in a workplace or at home. I'm 43 now, but in my 20s and 30s, before remote working, I needed to have a lot of friends. I made big efforts to make friends usually through work. But now, for me, going into my 40s and living with my partner, I value alone time after many draining and fake friendships. Now I have just a couple of true friends and meet just a couple of times a month, and that is enough for me.

im so glad to see this video, this is how I felt living in Shanghai two years ago,i left Shanghai to the US and now getting back to Shanghai soon again, still love the energy there tho.i love the city, what I learnt during the time away is, it is ok to be alone and lonely, it is better to be alone than try hard to fit in. Love Shanghai still!

[@wandinxumalo2310]

Great chat 👌🏾 arrived in Shanghai a few days ago and already been to a farewell party lol, mad expat turnover

[@shanghaiandi768]

Hahaa get used to it!

[@conniechan5189]

It's not only China but everywhere in other countries, people are more attach to their phones 😢. Very sad.

[@MartinJutras]

Loneliness is present in every big cities around the world. Human beings are not meant to live in that kind of environment.

[@Is_it_rwanda]

Take the need to work yourself to exhaustion to live out of the equation, and then you might start to see how much people can actually socialize with each other

[@beninchina]

Very interesting video!

[@sophie522pan5]

I was born and raised in Shanghai❤！Love your video🎉😊What else do you want to explore？

[@shanghaiandi768]

Thank you! There's so many more videos coming up about Shanghai, stay tunned!

[@jjhs1790]

What about affordable accomodation in Shanghai? Thinking about long stay 3 months cycling to explore the city you like and dislike and where you experienced loneliness . 71yr old man from Taiwan.

[@shanghaiandi768]

There's tons of affordable accommodation for sure! Hope you can enjoy my city and cycle its streets like it deserves to be explored

[@ARIANDITAMA]

Lihat, di langit kota kota di China, jarang sekali terlihat warna biru, ini aneh, semua serba putih dan buram, dan kabur, kenapa bisa begitu 看，中国的城市天空很少看到蓝色，这很奇怪，所有东西都是白色、朦胧和模糊的，为什么会这样？ Look, in the skies of cities in China, it is rare to see the color blue. It's strange that everything appears white, hazy, and blurry. Why is that? Semoga kalian, kedepannya bisa mengubah struktur dan konsep kota mati ini menjadi kota seperti kota saigon yang hidup dan bergairah. 希望未来能够改变这座死城的结构和概念，使它成为一个充满生机和活力的城市 希望未来能够改變這座死城的結構和概念，使它成為一個充滿生機和活力的城市 I hope that in the future, the structure and concept of this dead city can be changed to make it a vibrant and lively city, just like Saigon. Konsep dan struktur kota yang tidak ada gairah dan tampak mati...struktur Guangzou Shanghai, Xiong An, Shenzhen Beijing, dan kota lain di China adalah konsep kota mati atau akan mati, tidak bergairah...mereka yang datang ke Shenzhen akhirnya merasa Shenzhen ternyata tidaklah begitu bergairah dan tidak hidup...ini karena struktur dan konsep kota yang bersifat mati.... Konsep kota yang bergairah dan hidup itu adalah struktur konsep kota seperti kota saigon, Bangkok, Phnom Penh, Tokyo, newyork, Manila, dan lain lain. Ketika kamu berada di kota kota di China, kamu akan merasa kamu sedang tidak di kota, itu adalah desa desa yang punya blok blok apartemen dan seperti desa desa yang disatukan, kamu tidak merasa berada di kota lain halnya saat kamu berada di kota saigon, kamu merasa kota ini begitu hidup dan penuh gairah. The concept and structure of a city without passion and appear lifeless...the structure of Guangzhou, Shanghai, Xiong An, Shenzhen, Beijing, and other cities in China are the concept of a dead or dying city, without passion...those who come to Shenzhen eventually feel that Shenzhen is not as lively and not alive...this is because the structure and concept of the city are dead.... The concept of a vibrant and lively city is a city structure concept like Saigon, Bangkok, Phnom Penh, Tokyo, New York, Manila, and others. When you are in cities in China, you will feel like you are not in the city, it is more like a village with apartment blocks and feels like a collection of villages, you do not feel like you are in a city. In contrast, when you are in Saigon, you feel that this city is so alive and full of passion. 没有激情和生机的城市概念和结构...广州、上海、雄安、深圳、北京以及中国的其他城市的结构是死亡或将要死亡的城市概念，缺乏激情...那些来到深圳的人最终会感到深圳并不是那么充满活力和生机...这是因为城市结构和概念都是死亡的. 富有活力和生机的城市概念是像西贡、曼谷、金边、东京、纽约、马尼拉等城市结构概念. 当你在中国的城市中时，你会感觉自己不在城市中，这更像是一个有公寓楼的村庄，感觉就像是一个由村庄组成的集合体，你不会感觉自己在城市中. 相反，当你在西贡时，你会感到这个城市是如此充满活力和激情.

So judgemental, looking at things from a negative point of view, making things up while blabbering along, gosh, you are so qualified to work for Western media.
