Those two old men are really friendly. They suggested that you slow down your drinking pace so that you can appreciate the beauty of Baijiu and it is less likely for you to get drunk, which is beneficial to your health. They won't take your money because in China, friendship is more important than money. Hutongs are not slums. In Beijing, people living in hutongs are old residents who have lived here for generations. They own the houses, so they don't need to pay rent. Given the housing prices in Beijing, these two old men are rich and don't lack money. They just want to enjoy the wonderful time with you in a friendly way. China is a country that attaches great importance to friendship, tradition, and family. I wish you a pleasant journey!

Most of your words are exactly right! But they are not rich people. Although the location of their house is very near the center of Beijing, they won't or can't sell house in Hutong for cash. That's why they don't look like rich man. And of course they can feed themselves, just normal standard.

@@klauslayard7469 If they are willing to sell their hutong houses, they will become rich. The price of hutong houses in this location is 40,000 US dollars per square meter. The average size of each hutong house is about 200 square meters. Do the math yourself.
@chengcheng2550Ай бұрын
@@dakraol6680 You don't know the reality of Beijing. These old people are not rich people. Many people in hutong houses only live in 10-30 square meters, and if these houses are sold, they may be about 150,000 yuan per square meter. The money obtained could only buy very small or suburban houses elsewhere in Beijing. From the clothes and mannerisms, they should have ordinary jobs or have retired, and their monthly income is not much, I estimate less than $1,000. But because they are actually ordinary Chinese (even poor ones in Beijing), their hospitality is all the more valuable, isn't it? ----- This comment is written by a 40-year-old living in Beijing

As a Beijinger, I would like to tell you that if Chinese people, especially Beijingers, take the initiative to invite you to eat and drink, including smoking, it means that they think you are friends, do not give them money, because this kind of behavior will be regarded as contemptuous of them or you do not want to treat them as friends.

The reason why Beijing Hutong only has public toilets is because these buildings were built over the past few hundred years. During the Ming and Qing dynasties in China, there were no underground sewage pipes. Now these buildings are all protected buildings and cannot be demolished or rebuilt on a large scale, so underground sewage pipes cannot be installed. They can only serve the public in the form of public toilets

This is indeed a relatively common drinking scene and habit in China. When drinking is paired with delicious dishes, it can not only add flavor, but also make the drinking process more rich and enjoyable. While tasting delicious food, chatting while drinking tea and enjoying the relaxed and leisurely atmosphere, this way also reflects the integration of Chinese food culture and social culture. Different regions may also have their own characteristic side dishes and drinking customs, all of which have unique charm.

I smiled ear to ear watching you enjoy food and drinks with the senior residents and each understand the other only by 20%. They were so caring that they watched out for you and didn’t want you to get blind drunk. Unlike other societies where the guys would snicker and think it’s comical to get you wasted/inebriated. Bravo to you and Paige for interacting in this way with the locals - I bet they will have good stories to tell their friends & families for a looooooon time!

@SLAVAUKRAINI-cb5vt Finally, the only thing I know about playing the piano is that any trivial matter about the Chinese people will be exploited and exaggerated by the Western media into something unforgivable. The Western media will always look at China with a magnifying glass, but they will always be saints! For example, during the Palestinian genocide, the mainstream Western media suddenly became blind; haha, typical hypocritical double standards of the West!

So female friends would go in pair with one acting as door, one female friend carried an umbrella as her way to keep privacy, lol.

Hutongs are the most expensive areas in China, but they are not something that can be bought with money. The people who own houses in hutongs is over one million yuan. They live in hutongs in the center of Beijing because they have many convenient conditions, such as better school admission qualifications. Hutongs are not slums.

So did the two “dàye” in this video😄 I really appreciate the interest you’ve taken in getting to know such things. Just offering them money in this case might seem a little arrogant, but no worries, we all know that you meant it in a good way.

@SLAVAUKRAINI-cb5vt There are also British people who came to China to sell drugs and were sentenced to death for violating Chinese law.
This is so interesting. Going to a strange country and having a party while chatting, hahaha. They are very worried that you will get drunk. Drinking slowly and savoring snacks slowly is a relaxed life. It is worth mentioning that the hutongs there have a history of 700 years at the earliest, and many houses are cultural relics that cannot be demolished or destroyed, so they look very old. You can understand it as civilians living near Buckingham Palace, but they were not driven away and their houses were not purchased by capitalists.

By the way, a lot of people love your videos on Chinese Tiktok(Douyin) as well. I first saw your videos from Douyin and find you guys here.

Let me clarify one thing, the gentlemen in the Hutong are not short of money. If you know the value of their house, you will be shocked. In addition, in China, giving money directly is embarrassing, usually treating younger generations or their employees. If you want to express gratitude, you should send gifts.
