These videos need to be played all over the US. I’m American and I’m a veteran. The machine that runs my country is framing China as the next big enemy. I’ve seen war and it’s horrible. If the regular people see each other as we are then perhaps we can avoid war in the long term. It’s so heart breaking. China, America, Russia… everyone… you’re regular people are pretty much the same and we can all get along.

Happy New Year Yan...Since I discovered your channel a few months ago, I have been following your adventures as you blogged your way from Europe to China. I am an 80 year old Chinese man born in Kuala Lumpur but have been living in Australia for the past 40 years. Your demeanor, laid back style and no frills commentaries are compelling and addictive. I have , in particular loved your series on Malaysia.....very accurate and really nostalgic for me.... particularly with the images of food (really missed the food) and life style. I also lived in China for a year in 1980 as a pioneer teacher of English in the Dalian Inst. of Foreign Languages in Dalian, Liaoning Province. I loved China and have kept going back throughout the years.....just so proud of what the country has achieved over the past 40 years. You are a very pleasant and impressionable young lady and I wish you all the best❤👍in your future ventures !!!! All the best !!!

Always great to have a big family that gets together for spring festivities. I miss that. Very emotional experience watching this episode.

omg I never thought India and China has sooo much in common, this is more or less how we celebrate new year (traditional) in Karnataka its called Ugadi. In my village, we celebrate in very very similar way. I am living in Germany now I really really miss homeeee. I have many Chinese friends here, so who knows I will travel to China to meet them in future!!

The little girl, your niece is adorable! Really like that you translated her words as well.

I want to say that this is one of the kindest and sweetest videos I've watched in many months. I want to wish you and your family happiness and joy! Keep making us happy with videos like this! You are all so sweet!

Happy New Year of the Rabbit Yan, from all my family here in the UK. Your video of your family joined together in celebration, so many generations following traditions is so beautiful to share and made me smile.

When all members of the family get together, it is always a happy occasion.

There's really nothing quite like celebrating CNY with your entire extended family in China. Since I moved from China to the US at the age of 4, I've only gotten to experience this once, and I will always cherish that memory. I still remember how my cousin and I set off firecrackers just outside our grandparents' residential building and how my aunt, dad, and uncle fussed over the food preparations in their itty bitty kitchen (by American standards, anyway). I may not ever experience all of that again - at least, not while my remaining grandparents are alive. My aunt's husband happens to be a talented amateur calligrapher, as was my grandfather, so it's lovely to see that our families have something in common.

Delightful family scenes!!!So heart warming and the continuation of 4500 year Chinese traditions and customs. Your little niece is too cute!! Loved it when she said “please speak Chinese so that I can understand” lol

I didnt expect it but got emotional watching this.. Love from India!

I'm from Vietnam, we celebrate lunar new year too, with almost same activities in your video. Seeing your family is so happy with each other for new year, doing all kinds of activities 2gether, smiling, i somhow feel happy too. Now, not many families in my country can have such cozy and warm hearted new year like your family had. I feel happy for u.

一個非常親密的家庭，大家齊心協力準備著團圓大餐.新年快樂， 萬事如意，身體健康。

妳的侄女兒好可愛！. This is what a the authentic Chinese New Year’s Eve is like.

This was really fun! Sort of reminds me of Easter celebrations when I was a child 65 years ago. We got creative coloring Easter eggs, just as you all went beyond the darling rabbit buns to other forms. The cooking & going out to the garden & eating together. And yes, checking on your employment prospects!

Yan.....thank you for introducing your family. I see where that heartfelt wonderousness comes from.

Happy new year, hope everyone have good moments full of success. Respect from iran 🇮🇷

Happy Chinese New Year to you and family. Good to see all the happy faces. A family that eat together, stay together and they laugh together heartily.

Happy New Year to you and your family! Here in Malaysia, only those who are married give out red packets. We give it to our parents, children and anyone who is unmarried, no matter their age.

your family is beautiful. Family is a gift. I pray for their good health and great bond.

This video was an absolute delight but your niece stole the show. She was very cute. I loved the rabbit steamed buns! I was born in England but have lived most of my life in Australia. China is feared by the west and not trusted. This video and your sharing the the real people of China will hopefully bring some healing. I love the fact that you show things the way they are. Nothing filtered just every day life. I hope 2023 is a happy and prosperous year for you and that you achieve your goals to being self funded by YT. You provide great honest content and it is refreshing and humbling as well. Thank you Yan.

Such a beautiful Family! With very good English, Love China always!

Family gatherings are always good. Your niece is a cutie. 🙂

This is so much like deewali festivals in India we too burn lots of crackers and fireworks , families get together and pray and eat ..exchange gifts .. absolutely a heartwarming episode ❤

I am from Pakistan....I am always eager to know more about China ....And Recently I discovered your videos and I am into them now❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Good to see your family ,nice gathering and working together for New Year Celebration. The food all looked delicious , rabbit is tasty . Like it slow cooked over charcoal. Thanks Yan, always a pleasure watching your Vids. 🌄♥️ Have a great week

OMG I'm new here and wow so much positve energy, your family are all so sweet...ahh see how the younger generation learn stuff from the elder...this is just so beautiful chinese tradition. My Grandpa married my Po...I don't even look chinese but we still celebrate the tradition and I lovee ittt!!!! Love from Indonesia 🥰🥰

Xin Nian Kuai Le! from UK. My Chinese wife loves your videos, but it brought tears to her eyes, as she missed being with her family in Jinan this year. We had real rabbit for Spring Festival Eve, but it didn't work well, as she fried it too long and I wanted to make a rabbit stew.

What a lovely big family coming together to celebrate the lunar new year, making year of the rabbit steam bums! Thank you for sharing. Wishing you all a very joyful, healthy, prosperous new year! Love your channel!🌹☮️💥🌺🍷❤️💐💥💥💫

Happy rabbit year. The children in your family are really cute. What a surprise to see that you eat gegen . It looks like cassava (in English they use the African word). Very appreciated in Brasil too, they call it mandioca or macaxeira or aipim (the Amerindian word). They boil it, fry it, prepare purée or flower out of it. In Spanish speaking countries of South America they call it yuca.

Great video - family is everything- your niece is very cute and hope she gets your travel bug !

So much fun and hapiness as the family got together to celebrate. There are so many traditional activities that that were passed on for thousand of years,,,👍👍👍😀😀😀 新年快乐！

I really admire your ability to capture and portray the mundane of life into something so sentimental

Such a happy occasion and such a happy family. As always I loved your documentary. It is down to earth and shows how families interact. I smiled a lot…..Thank Yan and a HNY to you and your family from Darwin Australia 🇦🇺.

enjoy your video very much. Same as I was growing up. Customs and tradition never changed. seems like your family don't have many kids and many Old folks.

Happy new year to you and your family. Envy your mom and uncles for their good Chinese calligraphy 🙏🙏👍👍

农历新年快乐 Wow so nice. Your family still celebrate the spring festival in a very traditional way. Very grand to see how this festival is now celebrated in china now. China has now come a long way. People are now so well off. Wishing you and your family a happy Lunar New Year.

I really envy people who have big happy families. Thanks for sharing some joy with us!

You do a great job filming and editing your videos. They are very entertaining to watch. Also, the New Years song sounds like it has the same melody as the Oh My Darling Clemetine song.

Your family and friends seem like great people. You're very lucky to have great people around you.

Beautiful! You are fortunate to have such a wonderful family!

yan this is the best as it brings back the true spirit of cny in china. enjoy

🙏Beautiful family you have! Long and prosperous life to all of you! 🙏

Happy Chinese New Year, stay safe, and avoid crowded places 🙏❤️👍

I know i'm late to the party, still loved this video lot. The house of your grand-parents, and the kitchen is so nice, spacious, just a dream for me. And of course now i'm again hungry, like every time i watch you. It's so beautiful to watch all the family celebrating together, the round table for the best feeling, the tasty food, the kids and all these smiles. Many thanks for sharing with us your new-year celebrations, we're spoiled !

Such a wonderful gathering with your family. Keep up with your traditional celebration. Wishing you a happy and prosperous CNY

You are my happiness.❤❤bangladesh😮😮

I discovered your videos a couple of weeks ago, and I love them! You are showing us the real China, not the one that our politicians likes to present us. China is a great country, with very friendly people. I love how respectful and family oriented everybody is. ❤ Keep your great job,, teaching us about China. (I am from New Jersey, USA).

Hi Yan, thanks for showing us your family. It reminds me of when my grandparents were alive. It brings back happy memories. Happy Lunar New Year.

A record of how Chinese celebrate new year. 春节or spring festival is Chinese new year. Nice video. Good to see that everyone is healthy and happy in an eventful year.

Such a beautiful family! Wow! So beautiful. I cry. I feel this. Deep love and reality.

Happy New Year to you and your family, Yan! May the new year brings you good fortune, good health and plenty more adventures!

Happy family of little chinese everywhere. I love this little kid(girl). Lovely, lovely. Happy New year-2024❤🇨🇳🤗🙋 Greetings from Brazil for your family in China.💚🙋🕰👍🤝💚🇨🇳

Happy New Year to you too from Singapore! That's every efficient editing you are doing here! With families getting smaller these days, such gatherings are harder to come by and since many Singaporean family no longer cook, many has been going to the restaurants for their reunion meals.

So nice of you to show your family & the effort they make for the reunion. I must say this is same for all Chinese all over the world. Some differences is the letting of fireworks/firecrackers after midnite(1stDay in Malaysia) & can go on pass 2am (always sleepless nite LOL). Then we have the Hokkien New year (8thDay) - another sleepless nite!!!. But traditions is traditions & making loud noises is one of them. Happy Rabbit year to you & family!

I love your channel so much. Thank you so much. I wish I could visit you! I especially loved this one, with your family for the New Year.

Beautiful! Thank you and your family for sharing 🙂 And Happy New Year

葛根看著像乾綿紅薯🎉🎉

Enjoying my fourth video now, it was a pleasure to see your family and how you all prepared together for the new year festivities. They are all so happy. I’m looking forward to your other videos. The music you select, must be Chinese classics? I love it, it really adds to the atmosphere.

Just loved that scene where your little niece came over sang the HNY with you. 😃😃
