When you watch our videos... To you does it look like Chinese people have fun in their spare time just like anywhere else in the world?

My parent retired in the US. After they travelled to China, they found real happy retirement life there. They have now been traveling to China every two years and each time they stay for 3 months.

I have been to several countries and I have traveled all over the US. Other than my time in the military I have lived in several places in Texas. In all of those places none ever truly felt like home, or a place I could truly call home, even the place I was born. I have never been to a place that I could truly say this is where I could spend the rest of my life and be happy until I went to China! This may seem strange to some but while I was there in China, everywhere I traveled I truly felt at peace and happy. I have never felt like that before. The day I left China was a very sad day for me because I worried that I would never be able to return. There is a saying that, “ home is where the heart is”. I believe that is true because my heart is in China.

作为一名中国人，真的很感谢你能客观的报道中国的事实情况。中国近些年来在经济发展上取得了重大成功后西方国家于是不停的抹黑攻击中国的政策和政府。真的很感谢你！

反华人士看到视频标题兴奋地点进来，看完视频后：🤡

I am based in the UK cambridge, there is a massive fruitful Chinese community which consists of doctors and engineers, and scientist who are full of integrity, I personally been to China Beijing twice in 2019, and it was marvelous, full of culture and excitement, happy go back again.

I live in the UK. I want to be oppressed like in China.

这个标题怕不是为了克制谷歌算法😂

我是广西人，在上海工作二十年，中国变化真的很大，生活也变好了很多很多。感谢所有能客观的报道中国的国际友人！thank you so much!

在现在西方各种找中国来黑的时候，你们能坚持展现中国好的一面给世界，非常棒。真的谢谢你们！！

Chinese old ppl are the most open-minded ppl, they try their best to get used to the information world, try smartphone and take part in a lot of community activities,most importantly, they devote their youth to the country,that's why China change so fast, we younger generation respect them.

这个视频已经发布一个多月了，却还能在我的油管首页推荐上看到。看来油管还在有意地给我推荐一些anti-China标题的视频😂只不过他们没有看视频内容🤣🤣🤣

草，有生之年我居然能在油管首页看到说咱好话的视频，泪目了

这标题越来越有水平，牢牢抓住了眼球。

Everywhere I go in China, I made it a point to chat with the cab drivers. Until now, I have not met one who said the govt is slack and not doing their job. All agreed that their lives had improved tremendously. One cabbie told me the govt encourage them to give up the small farm as it is not making enough. The govt will in return gives them an apartment and help them find jobs. But if they insist on keeping the farm and still farm their small land, the govt will see what is the average income of the province and made up for the shortfall if their incomes fall below the provincial level as they are doing poverty alleviation. They honoured their farmers and dont want them left behind financially. Now this is not shown in any western media. the govt really takes care of its people. This is the real socialism with a Chinese flavour.

Barrett, you are doing a great job in trying to eradicate negative stereo-type thinking. Keep up with the excellent job! Your fan in Singapore

作为一名中国人，真的很感谢你能客观的报道中国的事实情况。

I have seen most of the Chinese retired people dancing,playing cards,enjoying their time in park and also happily taking care of their grandkids...

🇨🇳我爱你中国🇨🇳

I'm so glad you lot are making these video's showing the TRUE CHINA. I'm an Aussie. I went to China as well, pre Covid-19 and I was absolutely blown away with the friendliness and helpfulness of the Chinese people. Also, their infrastructure and transient networks are second to NONE! I love the way the Chinese look after ALL their elderly providing them with modern accommodations, health care, entertainment services, arts and crafts. I felt safe and I felt great being in China seeing what Humans can achieve if they just WORK TOGETHER. Unfortunately many places in the West still function as primitive dog-eat-dog societies. As an Aussie, I'm glad we're starting to improve in that area, especially with our affordable Health Care and Education for all. But ... we still have a long way to go.

对不起，让反华人士失望了哈哈

I am a 67 yrs old man in Singapore, but don't have as much fun as those old people in China.

BBC: These people had been forced to smile and clap their hands in that concentration camp in Xin Jiang

作为一名中国人，感谢外国友人展示中国老百姓最真实一面！棒棒哒！

👍👍👍 great vlog of real people in China who are living happy, peaceful and harmonious lives. Blessings from Kuching, Malaysia

my parents retired and lived happily in Beijing. My mom goes to the park several times dancing or doing Taichi with her friends, and my father goes to the community institute for retired people to teach calligraphy and Chinese painting as a volunteer every week (老年大学) I am the only child living abroad, but I am very pleased to see my parents enjoying their retirement for 20 years.

Not only big cities like beijing, also ALL cities and villages, EVERYWHERE has COMPLETELY changed. My hometown the smallest province and very poor area has completely changed. The Senior Activity Centre in this video is quite common. My parents went to Senior University after retirement (actually learning/activity centre) to learn how to use computer, ipad, smartphone, singing, drawing, dance, taiji, etc. Maybe Western countries is the heaven for children. I am confident to say China is the heaven for seniors. Chinese culture, Of all the virtues, filial piety comes the first. People do their best to take care of parents. My parents live with my sister family. Their daily "task" is to exercise. foe example, my mom, 80 years old, starts her day from 5am. Practice Qigong for 2-3 hours then breakfast prepared by my sister. Then go to the huge park in the residential community to exercise and social with lots of other seniors. The park has all kinds of facilities for exercise. then come home for lunch. then take a nap. In the afternoon my mom usually watch TV or play poke with friends. then practise Taiji for a couple of hours. Then dinner. then watch TV and sleep quite early before 9. When family member birthday and any festival and weekend from time to time, all my siblings families come to my sister to have big lunch together because my parents are there. It's very typical and common life style of Chinese seniors. Home is where your parents are. Go home.

Thanks for making this video. 1:20 i almost into tears. He sang wholeheartedly. So happy to see smiles over these senior citizens' faces

thank you for showing the world that Chinese people are really really happy nowadays. I’m proud of being Chinese, I love my country ,and I’m not forced to say these words,I swear!seriously!

Excellent video, a super massive thank you from many of your loyal fans in England (all of whom miss you everyday).

I am envious of the senior citizens who sit in the yum cha restaurant opposite my office all morning eating dim sum and drinking tea while I work... Not a bad life, although I don't know where they put it all!

我是中国人，感谢为中国发声！

Just answer one question. If the Chinese were under sort of oppression, why did they go back to China after the Chinese government "letting" them to travel to Europe or USA? Considering that they had money to buy famous brands goods in Europe. Of course before the COVID-19.

This is amazing! My wife is from Beijing. Her grandmother on her mother's side just turned 94 and is on social media (WeChat). So she was already 22 years old when the PRC was founded. What a life!

Thank you for these videos. You're doing more to help the world understand itself than the major news channels ever could.

I am glad that more and more foreigners are willing to look at China's development achievements rather than stereotypes. Thank you very much for your efforts to present the real China to the outside world.We welcome friendly foreigners to come to China, but we are also firmly opposed to any forcibly smear and hostile actions against China.Thank you both again.

你们应该去新疆拍拍美国和加拿大口中的所谓“种族大灭绝”🤣🤣🤣

我是中国人，我们日子过得很愉快，我们年轻人有自己的xbox、ps5或搭配RTX3070、3080的电脑，老年人会在公园打太极，我们邻里很和睦，不像某些国家动不动就暴乱游行，我为我生在中国感到自豪

Dear Barrett, thank you for making this video, I have not visit Beijing for ages...I enjoyed every moment there. Thanks for the virtual tour and sharing with the world the daily fact of the Chinese. God bless you

Nothing can be more real than this video, you know, the happiest group of people are the retired. They have less stress and much more luxury time...

China is a land of discipline and freedom but there are rules to observe, don't break the law. In China, if you killed someone, you payback with your life. In Europe, if you killed someone one, you go to jail for life and tax payers pay with their earnings.

I can see that Oli is very happy to talk to old people, and to know more about how China changed over time from them.

The shots of the old people playing the instrument are very professional. Thank you for making such a great video.

Great!! good!!! thks a lot for your work, all your videos, your effort to show how really the life is there to the world!!! excellent!!

謝謝你們，加油，看完所有廣告支持你們👍

From my point of view people in China have more activities to enjoy than people in Europe. Especially there are so many fun activities for the elderly.

Thank you, your video presents the real Beijingers their happy life, let more foreigners know Chinese hospitality and kindness, I hope more people spread your video out, so that the real China is more familiar to the people of the Western world.

I'm from Taiwan it's very happy to watch this video.

不要告诉他们！不要告诉他们！不要告诉他们！就让他们保持觉得我们是落后没有自由的！

Funny thing, after barret started using these kinds of titles, they appeared in my recommended a lot more often...........

As a Chinese, I really appreciate you to report China's facts. In recent years, China has achieved significant success in the economic development, and the Western countries have not stopped smearing against China's policies and governments. Thank you very much!

I love beautiful China. Every time I go to China, it gives me a different feeling.

In China, there are so many things we can do, So many good food we can eat, So much fun we can have.

I’m in love with chinese culture, everything about it makes me miss being there!

U r the agent of peace, happiness, and clear mind. This world should have more ppl like u.

感谢你们把努力、奋发、真实的中国介绍给了世界。 我是长期生活在日本的中国人，真想把真正的中国也介绍给日本社会，因为这里也受西方及各种媒体影响很大，被歪曲的太多。我也想尽自己的微薄之力！

You are all true Ambassdors of the countries where you are from. Respects!

感谢Barrent先生真实报道真实的中国，谢谢您。

I have been years observed how people really happy or not from the mimic of their face, their body language, and I am sure the people in this video are really happy.

支持你们.感谢你们能让世界真正了解中国人民和老年人每天有多开心👍👍👍💪💪💪加油!!!

非常感谢你们的视频！

我们需要的正是你这样公正而客观，不带着有色眼镜的报道，而不是BBChina那种令人作呕的诽谤与恶意中伤

The youtubers in China are like travellers who went to far far away lands in the past and returned to tell great stories about the lands Most of us in any countries are so ignorant either due to our propaganda machines or simply we like it. I thank all these youtubers for opening many peoples eyes

你们这是在撬西方井盖啊，哈哈

好家伙，越来越“标题党”👍👍👍

I have been staying at a manufacturing company in China for more than 25 yrs., I felt most of local colleagues were happy, I often saw smile on their face. even they were working10 hr a day, they were also talking jokes about China's officers . In contrast to them, I feel majority of Hong Kong colleagues were unhappy.

通过阿姨谈话间的语气 肢体动作 所表现出来的那份自信，国家真的是越来越好了 (ง •̀_•́)ง

Rare to see this I must say, thanks Oli and Lee !

早晚一出门，满大街，公园，都是老人家。爱干嘛干嘛。

Thank you for looking at China today from another perspective. Although China still has some problems of this kind, in general, the Chinese people are becoming happier and happier, walking their own way and out of a different kind of scenery!

They would never show that in CBC, NBC, and BBC to reflect the joy and happiness in average Chinese people all across the country not only in Beijing. Great to see you folks threw yourself right into these cultural events.

In Italy, I saw that the elderly in Italy have basically no activities except for the coffee shop, playing cards and watching TV at home

我只想说这个星球老年人过的多姿多彩的只有中国，而且他们对新事物的接受能力不比年轻人差，他们玩什么都很认真，很有专业水准。

I was studying in England sixteen years ago, when I was curious and excited about everything in Western Europe. To tell you the truth, I was a little envious of life in the Western world. Sixteen years later, I came to Work in Western Europe again because I am expatriated, and I felt completely different. I miss China very much, China is developing too fast, life is too comfortable and safe. I am proud to be a Chinese!

Thank you for promoting real China, and thank you and your father for the channel. China welcomes friends and truth, and is not afraid of enemies and lies

So much fun and joy there, very jealous 🥺🥺 🤣🤣🤣🤣thank you Oli and Lee👍

Im going to be that 90 year old guy playing the Erhu in the park with a big smile on my face.

I agree, the elder generation is most happy groupbin todays China. Very glad they enjoy everyday, they deserve such good life after a long service and working.

As a Chinese, I can proudly say that the Chinese are the happiest country in the world. And the safest and freest country in the world!

Great video... I was so pleased to see the older people playing Chinese instruments. There is no reason Chinese instruments should have to give a back seat to foreign instruments. I hope the young Chinese don't just learn western violin and flutes - but traditional Chinese instruments as well.

The truth is just like a joke Not everyone gets it. And the worst parts is they don't seek the truth they aren't blatantly misinformed they do it for the sake of causing confusion and chaos in the world

None of us Chinese care about the slurs of THE US and BBC, we just take them as a joke, we deeply love our China, even if it is to defend with our lives, we will be friendly and peaceful with everyone, but also for the security of the country will sacrifice their lives

Barrett can go wherever he wants. See! Everybody is so happy. Happy, happy, joy, joy. Just look at all the smiling faces... so happy... no one complaining... no one criticising... everybody so so happy 😃😃😃 Barrett, you are so handsome ❤️❤️❤️❤️

国内的生活不管对老年人还是年轻人来说都丰富的多，中国人还是喜欢热闹

Damn respect, Barrett Jr.! your Mandarin improved a lot for real! Keep working on it!

China may not be perfect, but it's getting better and better. Thank you for showing the world the real China. I'm happy living here :)

实在太棒了，感谢你们呈现真实的中国人的生活

That is Mongolian dance, every movement of body and hands carries meaning.

distributing love and friendship, and mutual understanding, to make our world more fascinating for all / let,s join happiness

The first time l arrived in Beijing, l was surprised by how modern the city is, and how much wealth they have. Then to Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen another amazing places. They are just amazing high tech cities.

I visited China almost a dozen times. These community events are so familiar to me in so many positive ways. In many urban districts there are parks, beautiful clean shady parks with benches with many groups of people performing activities like singing, dancing, playing chess (Chinese and Western), music, table tennis, fixed fitness equipments for exercises, martial arts like Tai Chi and playground for children. Foreigners are welcome to join them without hassle. You feel like you are more at home than your own. On top of that you feel very safe in the street in the absence of physical violence and criminality. All amenities are in place to support your stay there as citizens or foreign visitors. Happiness is abound in comparison to other advance countries.

Like WTF is even that question? I spent 1 year in China studying, it was the best year of my life, everything is great, and friends feels like family. The internet kinda suck but there's always vpn to use. Everything else is amazing.

I had been to China, and I absolutely agreed to you folks. Seriously, the old folks in China are very active and paid to live a fruitful retirement. If that is oppression, then I would wanted that too 😂

Good on you both and thank you for sharing the truths to balance the west's negative and bigoted views on China. Would have been much better if there were more translations when the citizens speak.

A nice and happy film, it is good to see the Chinese people truly happy.

First of all, thank you very much for your reporting objectively. This generation of retirees is the happiest generation. My parents are the same age as them. They can retire very early (55 for women and 60 for men), and they can get very good pensions. Due to the extension of life expectancy, China has also entered an aging society, and it is inevitable to extend the retirement age (both men and women cannot retire until 65).

中国大妈是最欢乐的一群，采访她们你会更快乐！跳广场舞！

I’m currently living in uk 🇬🇧 , I love this country as much as I love China 🇨🇳, rest of my family are in China, that is what exactly my mom does every day, thanks to the Chinese government, and thank you for sharing the real China, all the best .

It just happened that you had interviewed these group of super positive people happy about China. There are some of the people living in China not happy with China too. And I strongly believe that more and more people will be happier each day. I trust China’s government can make that happen. 中国万岁！Thank you for showing this beautiful video.

我以前看到外媒的司马报道会很生气，现在不会了。我们中国老百姓自己乐呵，埋头奋斗继续进步，我们会越来越好，不管别人说什么。不过看到这么多报道中国真实情况的外国朋友，也很开心。
