@@рабские_вымираты No , Its about the families hold the funeral to thank the people who came to the funeral . because people who come to the funeral gives an amount of money to the families to comfort them(usually much more than food's value,the closer you are with the families the more you are going to give them. usually from 1 day to 1 week's wage comparing to Chinese income). Families give a feast in return. In Fel's case . He didnt pay for his food .🤣

At the funeral, the villagers warmly welcomed a solitary visitor from Ghana, Africa. Each host's family insisted on toasting him by keeping their cups lower than his, a gesture in Chinese culture to show respect and acknowledge the guest's esteemed status.

Let's be honest, most of the hate is because China is the only country that can currently challenge the American hegemony. Don't feel too bad though, some Westerners are aware of the propaganda and see China for what it is.

@SmedleyButler1881 7 ай бұрын

It’s true, rural China is still more underdeveloped than the government would like the outside world to know, and culturally things are much different from other peoples experiences in the west. A clear one in the video is Chinese people wearing white to funerals, where as black is traditional in most of Europe and North America. But one thing that is clear from many of these types of much more rural China videos is that the people are very welcoming and sweet, obviously more so when you speak their language and they can communicate with you.

In rural China, as long as an elderly family member dies, the host family only needs to cry and set off firecrackers without invitation. The whole village will go to volunteer to help, some people cut vegetables, some people cook, some people specially receive guests, some people specially record gifts, each family in the village will be assigned tasks. The funeral was a happy one because the old man lived a long time and died painlessly. In some areas, there are performances, playing music and singing for three days, performing drama.

Fel you a like the legend, Damo (Bodhidharma) monk from India that came to China. What a blessing.❤❤❤ Born in 470, Damo (达摩) was the third son of an Indian brahmin. (Dark skin). His monastic name was Bodhitara, later he was named Bodhidharma. From the Buddhist patriarch Prajnyatara, received patro and robe and came to China to transmit the dharma. In the fall of 527 he landed in Guangzhou. Bodhidharma was a semi-legendary Buddhist monk who lived during the 5th or 6th century CE. He is traditionally credited as the transmitter of Chan Buddhism to China, and is regarded as its first Chinese patriarch. According to a 17th-century apocryphal story found in a manual called Yijin Jing, he began the physical training of the monks of Shaolin Monastery that led to the creation of Shaolin kungfu. He is known as Dámó in China and as Daruma in Japan. His name means "dharma of awakening (bodhi)" in Sanskrit.[1]

Yes, and Europeans still get angry if you say the obvious they get angry, I know this because they do the same to us South Americans and I don't even want to know what they say about Asians (except Japan And Koreans) because they are nations that are westernizing their cultures to please Europeans who don't even care about Asians

传统的非洲葬礼是什么形式的？在中国一个人不用经受长时间的疾病的痛苦折磨而死去，是一件很好的事！

I just found you and literally can’t stop watching. I am curious tho how it feels being a kind of spectacle? I understand it’s new for them and I love that your showing them that they don’t have to fear us but I feel like that kind of attention would be uncomfortable because I’m a human like you.

In China, if someone passes away naturally of old age, it’s considered a “white celebration”. if it’s a young person, dying of accident or disease, or other unfortunate cause, it would be a somber affair.

It’s really great to see how Chinese people treat the “way” of doing funeral. Such a great thing, it’s like a moment (also of sadness) but still a celebration time, that can stay all together and be happy even it’s a sad moment. Good job Thommy 🎉🎉🎉 every of ur videos are great
