After 4 long years I finally made it back to China! This the 1st video in a brand new series on KZfaq where I document my journey through 4 different cities and showcase what China is really like in 2023! Thank you all for your amazing support! So honored to have such an amazing community supporting me! Thank you for subscribing and supporting the channel! ~ Cyrus王德中

What an honour it was to walk and talk with you my great friend. Until we meet again. Kind Regards Alex

We want a peaceful world without all warmongers.

As a Korean born Aussie I experienced the anti China narrative for many many years and gradually developed a sympathy for them when the rest of the country were losing empathy for the Chinese. I see that this process is necessary prior to war and is evil. Good people must see the truth and act. Well done.

I lived in rural America for the pandemic. I'll never forgive a huge segment of my fellow Americans for the callous disregard for other people's lives I witnessed during that time.

If you want to see the past *1000s* of years of Chinese history, visit _Xi'an._ If you want to see the past *100s* of years of Chinese history, visit _Beijing._ If you want to see the past *10s* of years of Chinese history, visit _Shanghai._ And if you want to see the *future,* visit _Shenzhen._

Honestly, if the majority of the people (especially those in the leadership positions) in the United States are like these two gentlemen, the world would be much better and much more peaceful.

I've visited China four times and saw different regions. Every time I've visited... I've seen big improvements. I would even be bold enough to say that the major cities in China are now overall cleaner looking than the major cities in the US. For one example, I've visited public parks in Dalian and was amazed at how clean they look. No litter or graffiti anywhere... even the skateboard rink looks clean. And there are lots of people out there enjoying the parks... but seem to have respect for the facilities there. Where I live, public parks are often vandalized and abused. When I return home and tell my co-workers about my travels to China.... they refuse to believe me or the pictures I took. They just want to believe that I was shown around a "fake city" built for showing tourists. The fact that I was walking around these cities unescorted... still won't change their beliefs. No, these people still want to believe that China has "backward smoggy cities, where everyone still rides bicycles and wear grey old clothes because they are all poor and starving". I often hear ignorant statements such as: "The poorest Americans still live better than the average Chinese". The irony is these people never traveled to China or even want to watch these videos. And yet... these folks talk like they are all "China experts'. Very sad... and infuriating at the same time.

You & Alex are so great! Really grateful for ambassadors like the two of you as well as other KZfaqrs who are spreading the truth about China rather than negative, slanderous propaganda about China. I discovered Cyrus’s channel at a time when all you see on KZfaq are negative & slanderous videos about China. It was such a breathe if fresh air & relief to see there are objective & clear headed people, especially more special when they are westerners, who are able to do these videos to show a different side of China that are not just propaganda & slander. I am very thankful for KZfaqrs & ambassadors of peace like yourselves!! Thank you & forever grateful! Continue this important & very much needed great work!

Thank you for giving China a voice it needs. A voice that is objective, without bias and prejudice.

This is an awesome video. As a Canadian (originally from Croatia) this opened up my eyes in about China. When I read the Ottawa Citizen, the overwhelming amount of articles in regards to China is negative (propaganda and fear). If I was to do a similar video of downtown Ottawa (like Cyrus did), you would see drug addicts shooting up, people in a hurry, and a very limited amount of smiles on peoples faces. Definitely an eye opening video. Keep it up!

You two guys are heroes who tell the truth against the dominating narrative of the west.

Love the peacefull atmosphere , no annoying "pranksters", no thugs, no ppl mocking ppl, no harrassments, no annoying drunk ppl, no crazy ppl, no addicts , etc.... find a western city with 20 mln. Ppl that peacefull....good luck . Lol

So nice to see the joy you guys have in your special walk. I stayed in China right through the pandemic, cared for by so many Chinese friends. Please keep taking the love and the understanding to the world. Thank you both. Dave.

Cyrus, you do not owe Shanghai anything. Shanghai is pround to be played a big role in your life. Thank you so much for your voice. From a Shanghainess now lived in Toronto longer.

I used to go to China several times a year. It is the time for me to go back there. Thank you for updating the current condition of China.

Chinese: _"Welcome to China!"_ Americans: _"Go back to China!"_

我是中国人，谢谢你，你是个和善的老外。我们喜欢包容的外国人能接受中国的好也能接受中国的缺点。

I visited Shanghai in the summer of 2017 and my friend Shen who is a Shanghainese studied college at my hometown Nashville USA showed us around the modern city and we were fascinated by how beautiful and world class the city is. The food is always good, the people are very nice and friendly. This city should be a must visit on everybody’s bucket list. This video of yours brings back great memories. Thanks Cyrus and best wishes on your future project!

It's great have you back and tell the world the Chinese stories!

Between 2013 and 2021, China alone contributed more to world economic growth than the G7 combined. China = 38.6% Canada, France, UK, Germany, Japan and the U.S = 25.7%

I grew up watching the BBC in the U.K. I was proud of the BBC. Now I’m living in Hong Kong. Having witnessed the social unrest and how that was reported, as well as misleading reports on China compared to what I’m seeing on the ground, I’m disgusted by how the BBC has turned out these days. It’s nothing more than pure propaganda.

man I am so proud of you, your Chinese is really good ngl bro!! I really appreciate what you've been doing for China, showing people the truth about Chinese people, cultures, and everything. keep doing what you doing man, we need people like you that can bring the cultural connection between the west side and the east side. I wish in the future there are lots of people who haven't been to China who can really hear what's going on in China. Much love from CN.

It is great to see both of you, Alex and Cyrus, in Shanghai!

My last visit in Shanghai was 2018. I love China. I saw it on my own eyes how China has become so modern, I even ride the Maglev train. By July 2 my son will be in Beijing & Guangzhou for his campus & educational tour at Sun Yat Sen University for 2 weeks. He then will also witness his heritage and compare how Chinese people work hard. I am a oversea Chinese lived in the Philippines. I love your show Cyruss & Alex. My respect to both of you for telling the truth of my China motherland. Show the West how China worked hard to become superb.. God bless you two! More power!

I have been wait for this video coming since the day you landed in China, again you both are truly legends for telling world the truth about China, the fairness she deserves for long time, I can’t wait to move back home myself this summer for good, it is great to come to western countries to experience life and at the same time the life abroad teaches me that I should never take China for granted again, Cyrus, hope you have great time in China and hope this trip will bring you a lot more opportunities 😊

Love China from Pakistan! 🇵🇰❤️🇨🇳

15:56 that interaction gives me chills, you guys are great, I've been a huge fan of the work Mr Cyrus has been doing promoting a healthy relationship between China and the Westworld. Here in the Dominican Republic our government has faced a lot of pressure from USA to block any major plan on invest from China and that really bothers me cause it affects directly our people and the overall growth of our country. Hope this can change in the future. Thank you guys. 👍🏼

It was a rare opportunity to have met you on this trip, best wishes my friend.

May GOD bless both of you 🙏 China is so blessed and lucky to have two good unbiased people !

I am a Chinese and now live in Chongqing. I am very grateful to finally have a blogger who can truly show the real China to the world. Welcome to China 🇨🇳!

Peaceful streets, great food, high tech, well integrated infrastructure, spectacular views, family centric communities, a normal life ... seems like a great place for an introvert like me to settle in.

This video was very enjoyable to watch. Looking forward to more collab between you and Alex. 謝謝！

Congrats Cyrus. Your Mandarin has improved 100%. You're no longer mis-toning your words. I guess coming back to China makes all the difference. Can't wait to get back myself.

Hey what a neat episode. I only just discovered the second KZfaq Alex they other day as i researched China for my up coming trip to beijing. As an expat Chinese twice removed since my grandparents left China in the 1930’s. Now as a full grown senior Chinese Canadian these videos are really warming knowing that there are those that wish to share the truth and light for global peace. Keep up the great work both of you guys! Peace! 🍻🔥🙏🏼

Hi Cyprus, Greeting from San Francisco. Thanks for sharing the real China. People needed to hear and see this.

Wow, great to see you two working together! Keep up the great work, all the very best!

I really enjoy watching your videos. You’re really honest and straight foward on your reports regarding what other people think about China. You have changed my mind regarding China .

Cyrus, good to see you return to China and doing a video with Alex promoting Shanghainese and foreigners enjoying their day in the peaceful Shanghai Bund. Keep up the good work, and hope to meet you both in China one day 🙏.

Big difference is you guys and others there in Shanghai won’t be randomly and senselessly gunned down as it regularly happens in 🇺🇸

Community unity! Yup, that's the essence of the Chinese people in China and the real strength of that ancient people and how they can survive for so long.

Thanks for sharing unbiased messages. Looking forward more from your detailed, thoughtful conversation! Everyone deserves a voice.

The world welcomes you to bring peace between the USA and the world. I have been following both of you since the lockdown, something for me to look forward to every morning during the lockdowns.

Puxi is the old district. Pudong is the new district. Puxi 浦(Huangpu River) 西（west) means 「west of the Huangpu River). Pudong means the 「east of the Huangpu River). I was born in Guangzhou, China. We have the Pearl River 珠江 in Guangzhou. For us, we have the Henan 河南 (South of the Pearl River) district and Hebei 河北district (North of the Pearl River) similar to Pudong and Puxi districts. Pudong is the new district but cheaper than Puxi. Been to Shanghai many times, but I have yet to travel back to my own birthplace to truly visit the Canton Tower 廣州塔，nicknamed 「Little Slim Waist」 小蠻腰，and the new subway lines that now connect to Shunde 順德 , Foshan 佛山district, my paternal ancestral hometown, and also the ancestral hometown of Bruce Lee 李小龍 and Ip Man 葉問。

I arrived in Shenzhen just a few months after Alex landed in Chongqing. Even during the pandemic it was an amazing place to live. Now that everything has opened back up, its even more incredible. The difference between here and the UK is like chalk and cheese! I love living here.

I've followed your channel since the plandemic and similar channels on China, my view about China has completely changed and no amount of negative propaganda on the MSM on China sways me anymore. I'm particularly impressed by how you and Alex showcased the truth about China without vilifying the West. I believe it serves the world better if we all live in peace. 🕊️

Thank you for showing a real China to the world.

Alex has certainly makes me get more interested in Chongqing. Before that, I looked at Chongqing as just another city in China. Regards from Malaysia

Thank you for confirming my views on what the world is really like outside of the mainstream media’s lies

Thank you guys, you are great!❤

I always love your videos on China. You and Alex always give us the happy sides of my country! Thank you so very much 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Welcome back to China. Thank you for your honest opinions about China. No country in the world is a perfect country, but China is heading in the right direction to improve the living standard of its citizens while at the same time giving a helping hand to underdeveloped nations.

Hi Cyrus, it is so good to see you and Alex are in Shanghai- my hometown. I miss Shanghai so much, hope to visit next year. Thank you both for doing a wonderful job

I am grateful with China government to place people’s health as the first priority during pandemic over anything else. Human lives are the most valuable asset in humanity. 🙏🙏❤️

I am so glad to see you two together in person, have fun in China. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤

You guys are true ambassadors of world peace. Wish more people join your team!! 😊

Who would have thought back in Feb that this video with Cyrus and Alex (and Julia in the background) at the bund would be possible. China is back in business and the next phase upward has just begun. Exciting times ahead.

Thank you for showing what China is really about .... people like u, Alex and many others make the world a better place

Well done you guys. So nice to see you strolling down the Bund. Looking forward to more content from the both of you.

USA Police of the world 🌎 for own benefits but China 🇨🇳 is Ambassadors of the world to provide peace.❤

I've been in China for 10 years and I love it because I don't need a car. Life without a car in upstate NY is difficult.

Welcomed back Cyrus! Thank you so very much for both of you Alex and Cyrus in Shanghai.

Thanks for the "real" news from China,we need a different perspective from western media outlet. Keep up the good work.

Great to see u guys collaborating live in China. Enjoy your videos. Keep up the great work!

With American friends like Cyrus and Alex, it is very hard to dislike Americans.

Great work, Cyrus and Alex. You are our great friends.

It seems that anyone who visits China comes back a positively different person. Moral of the story: Everyone should visit China to see for themselves!

Welcome coming back!!!! Love your videos.

Only by coming to China can one truly understand China. Those unscrupulous media outlets won't tell you about the beautiful aspects of China

Visited Shanghai way back in 1989. Incredible what China has accomplished.

Shanghai is so beautiful and vibrant. Thank you gentlemen.

Cyrus and Alex, thank you, let the truth be told unbias and real, pure and striaght forward, nothing more nothing less, keep going for the world to hear and see the truth, nothing but the whole truth.

I seriously hear the voices from within the both of you. How both of you wanted the entire west to see and feel China through your senses and lenses. It’s so touching, emotional and beautiful of your whole intention for sharing the truth and reality of China to the west that hasn’t visited China. May both of you be so blessed for sharing the truth to the world.

Great to see you back in Shanghai Cyrus. Enjoy!

Thanks to both of you for bridging the West & the East.

What an amazing experience for both of you walking the Bund at the end of the day. I did that a few times from 1998 to 2004. Love the place.

I watch your video for the 1st time and it's amazing! I just subscribed to your channel, I have lived in Canada for many years, my son is a lawyer and my daughter is in medical school. Thank you very much for introducing the real China❤❤❤

Nice to see people coming back to the Bund in Shanghai. I went to Shanghai every month for 2 years 14 years ago. The normal crowd on the Bund promenade was about 10 times of what is shown in this video.

Cyrus: I can't wait to travel to China again and visit all my favorite places IN CHINA. Also Cyrus: Hey we're in Seoul, South Korea.

Welcome back, Cyrus. FYI, 430km/h Maglev is avaiable in some time sections in a day. Not all trains reach upto 430. You can find the fastest options from the schedule list at ticket office.

I live in Shanghai, it is beautiful!

China is Amazing!👍

yessss the boys are back. Loves from Brazil 🤌🏻💕

👍👍two thumbs up!😄😄great conversation! Happy seeing both Alex and Cyrus together🙏🙏

Thanks for what the two of you are doing. There are just not enough words to explain how important what you guys are doing for China and the World. Westerner would never believe us Chinese people explaining to them how China is now and how much China have change from before. Thanks again and keep up the great work.

Is Good to see you back in China. Do tell us more of your travels , daily lives of the ordinary people , magnificent places and cities , their advance technology etc....that I can't find or read in the main stream western media. By the way, I am a Malaysian Chinese who does understand Mandarin .

Few of the positive and fair westerners who see CHINA differently...

Thank you Cyrus and Alex!! ❤

When I was the first time going to China it was friends have ivited me. I was sceptic bc of my image of China. Well it was 2005 and youtube hadnt Channels like yours so i had no Idea what I will meet there. I was so impressed how I was welcomed by the strangers in the streets. In Shanghai I wasnt able to read my booklet I got with historical chinese Textes my friend gave me (in English of course). All the students in the Parc were coming to talk with me. So China for me was love at the first view (or maybe feeling). I felt at home there. Since that time I was several times in different places in China but my Experiences always were the same. So you were right saying go to China see it yourself. I guess that would help a lot! I am so much hoping to be back as soon as possible. So many places are waiting for me to be explored.

Thank you Cyrus, for helping the world better understand China.

Great video Cyrus and Alex. I’ve never been to Shanghai or China for that matter. Really makes me yearn to come. Will look out for your next videos. Take care.

Thanks mates for being ambassador of peace between two world super powers. Wish people in Australian gov is watching your channel as well!!

Every person I've ever met from China says they fled for a reason. These guys are getting paid alot of money to say this

Thank you Cyrus and Alex for promoting peace and balancing out all the negativity from mainstream media. ❤ your work.

Made my comments to early. Great to see you and Alex were together at the bund!

I think Serpenta is telling a true story of China

I too have waited years! I didn't know what I was waiting for or even that I was waiting ✌️ Much Gratitude For Your Telling and Truths ❣️

Good job, Cyrus, a little bit history of the place you look at. It is The exact Place where it witnessed China's a hundred years humiliation. (Huang Pu Jiang Kou- or 黄浦江口 in Chinese). The river mouth saw Western Gun Boats and Japanese warship sailing through, and it saw the western nations carved many small nations/or concessions not far from that river bank, and it saw a sign with "Chinese and Dogs are not allowed" in front of those concessions. Not to hate no one, but to remind all Chinese that we will not let it happen again.

Many Chinese warmly welcome Westerners to our lands as visitors. However, many Westerners (but not all) are increasing regarding Chinese in their lands as unwelcome.

Thumbs up to both of you. Indeed, you, youtubers have brought more information on China that interests us to respect its culture and development. I myself am motivated to visit China and experience its diverse was of life.
