I am glad you are presenting this video, as a Chinese from a different country it is highly respected that you have made every effort to explore culture. You are not only able to speak Mandarin fluently, but also have the support from your parents that really builds your self esteem through encouragement and education. I did not have this privilege in my younger years and am happy to see that the future generation is supporting their children in every positive way. Bless your parents to have such an open mind and relationship with you, I was not as fortunate because of the generation gap. I will say that the sons, daughters and any future generation is getting the same support now as you do from your parents and also your friends. The mindset from the older generation, which is me has changed and I see it exactly like your parents do.

Blondie & Parents, I thoroughly enjoy and appreciate your being open to and exploring Chinese food as best you can during these times. As a Chinese person raised outside of China, this channel has been a wonderful way to explore China & Chinese regional cuisines which are pretty much non-existent in Western countries. I appreciate the efforts to identify, explain, and cook them. Along with the explanations that define and highlight certain regional cuisines. Thank you for sharing them!

When Anthony Bourdain visited China couple years ago, he said, “you stay in China for five years and only scratch the surface of its food culture.” Miss his TV show: No Reservation. 😢😢😢

[@BlondieinChina]

I would 100% agree with that statement! The more dishes I try, the more I realise I have to still discover and understand about the various cuisines of China!

[@lawrenzhuang9748]

@@BlondieinChina You will probably need more than a lifetime to consume all the food that China has to offer. :) To put it in perspective, about 30 years ago, I browsed thru a cookbook on Chinese cuisine written by a western lady and in her preface, she mentioned that there were (at that point of time) at least 80,000 dishes. Over 3 decades or so, the number obviously must have exceeded 100,000. Depending on the number of dishes you try a day, it will take you long long time to try them all. You do your math.

Your parents are truly amazing and you are lucky to have them! I love how open they are of trying new things and exploring different cultures. No matter if I show my parents Japanese, Korean or Chinese cuisine, it's all "Asian food" to them and they have no interest in learning further. Same with my language learning. I'm currently at an A2 level in Korean and my mom the other day asked me "What does this say?" And held up a box with Mandarin writing 😅 I love my parents, but I think you are truly blessed to have such open-minded and good-natured parents. It is a joy to see. Lovely video, cheers 🧡

天國近了，我們應當悔改，信耶穌。時候將到，死人將要在審判日時，爲自己在地上所作的一切行爲，在神的面前受審判。那時，就再也沒有人有機會悔改了。所以我們應當趁著審判官還沒定我們的罪之前，趕緊和祂和好，悔改我們的不義行爲，祈求祂赦免我們的罪，免得祂定我們的罪，我們就落在刑罰之中。主耶穌基督就是那位審判官，天國和地獄的鑰匙在主耶穌的手中。 欺騙，貪心，口吐惡言，荒宴，偷竊，殺人，犯奸淫，淫亂，好色，不尊重父母，詭詐，狂傲，拜偶像，交鬼，占卜，觀兆，法術，邪術，嫉妒，惱怒，紛爭，結黨，詭詐 ，醉酒，怨恨，毀謗，惡念，同性戀，亂稱神的名，自稱是神，稱人或動物或金銀木石土等物質為神，褻瀆神，違背神，罵神，不肯悔改信耶穌，等等這些在神的面前都是罪，只要我們犯了其中一個罪，就足夠稱我們為罪人了。如果我們現在不悔改這些罪惡行爲，仍然繼續犯下去，那麽以後審判日的時候要怎麽和神交代呢？喜歡犯罪作惡的人，神將來是要報應他的。但神愛世人，不願世人因自己的罪惡而滅亡，所以仍然給我們機會去悔改，而悔改的方法衹有一個，那就是信靠耶穌。像一個從前敗家的孩子回到父親的身邊，向父親認罪悔改，祈求赦免，并且聽從父親的教導，從此成爲一個乖孩子。所以我們也要藉著主耶穌回到父神的面前，向父神認罪悔改，祈求赦免，并聽從主耶穌的教導，重新做人，改過自新，不再犯罪。主耶穌可以赦免我們一切的罪。主耶穌可以幫助我們重新做人。 耶穌基督降世爲人，因爲愛我們，不願我們因自己的罪惡滅亡，所以要教導我們脫離罪惡的行爲，糾正我們的生活，要救我們脫離將來的審判，甚至願意在過程中受苦，被人逼迫，辱駡，鞭打，吐唾沫，爲你我而流淚流血，被釘在十字架上而死。主耶穌爲了贖你我世人的【罪】而被釘在十字架上而死。 但主耶穌死後第三日復活，后升到天上去，以後還要回來拯救屬於祂的人。 人死後要麽得永生進天國，要麽得永刑進地獄。地獄里的火是不滅的，蟲是不死的。悔改信靠主耶穌的人能進天國，不願悔改信靠主耶穌的人不能進天國。 我們要接受主耶穌爲我們生命中獨一的救主，生命中獨一的真神。你們若有憂愁，就來尋找主耶穌，主耶穌就安慰你們。若有困難的，就來尋找主耶穌，主耶穌就賜給你們力量。若有傷痕累累的，就來尋找主耶穌，主耶穌就醫治你們。若有勞苦重擔的，就來尋找主耶穌，主耶穌就使你們得安息。主耶穌可以赦免你們一切的罪，主耶穌可以賜給你們真平安和喜樂，主耶穌可以賜給你們死後復活得永生。主耶穌連使死人復活都可以，在人是不能，在神凡事都能。 除了耶穌的名，世上沒有別的名可以使人得救。獨一的真神衹用一個名字來代表自己，那就是【耶穌】。 主耶穌教導，“不要犯罪欺騙說謊”，惡人卻說，“不，我選擇犯罪欺騙說謊”。這樣他就是在定自己的罪，以後定他的罪的證據就是在此。 主耶穌說： 你們不要論斷人，就不被論斷。因爲你們怎樣論斷人，就必怎樣被論斷。你們用什麽量器量給人，就必用什麽量器量給你們。你們不要定人的罪，就不被定罪。你們要饒恕人，就必蒙饒恕。 你們可以在網上搜尋【聖經】來讀，建議從“約翰福音”讀起。或這里有一個 cut.ibibles.net/ 無論你生活中有什麽困難，煩惱，壓力，你就向主耶穌禱告祈求，祂一定會聽你的禱告。在人是不能，在神凡事都能。 【神原是我們的父親，是祂創造了我們，我們要回頭承認祂，借著信從主耶穌基督承認祂。世人啊，該醒過來了。】
