15 Years in China: You Won't Believe What I've Seen

I've been in China for over a decade and a half. You won't believe some of the changes that I've seen. And you won't believe how silly I've looked trying to record them.
Lots more people are starting to visit China right now, and they're beginning to see for themselves what an amazing country this is. Over the last decade and a half, as a Foreigner living in China, I've been able to witness a lot of change. I've been fortunate enough to travel all over and see things that most people haven't had the chance to see and this video shares some of these experiences with you.
Last year I made this video in cooperation with China video platform giant Bilibili, and China Review Studio (In fairness, I've been in China for over 16 years now, but you get the drift).
Hope you like the video. If you do, please hit the LIKE BUTTON and subscribe for more! Stay safe and keep looking after one another.

Don't blame you! I first came to China in 2004, went back to Canada with my family for 5 years, and now have returned for good! What an amazing place! So good to see others like myself enjoying the changes and differences in China! Best place to live in my opinion! Thank you for sharing!

At the end of the day, I think it's all about how content you lived your life and how many happy memories you've collected. I think you are blessed in your life. Best wishes.

I was visiting an industrial museum in a European country, and they had a little building with replicas of the living conditions of *workers* from the 1880s to the 1980s or something. And I was looking at this room of the 1920s, and was thinking, an average Beijing urban family would live like this in about 1970 or later. It also said that by the 1960s, fridges and washing machines were common household items in this European country - fridges were somehow still fancy for a Beijing family in the 1980s. I grew up knowing that China is a developing country and our living standards are a bit lower. But living a rather comfortable life in a big city, I didn't really feel that until that moment at the museum. Once, we were SO behind - and it was not that long ago. ... There were loads of things that are not quite nice about China - and it's ok to talk about them. But there is no joke when an average family, especially those from smaller towns and rural places, can have such a HUGE rise in living standards over a few decades. And China is still developing - when public facilities are broken, they are fixed quickly (it sounds stupid but it does surprise me when I see broken things stay broken for ages in "developed" countries), the functioning ones are well-maintained, and new facilities and services are coming out on a daily basis. Although things are slowing down a bit, there is hope, and the people will never give up the hope and hardwork for a better life. ... The world really should see this. Not to boast or compare which is better. But just to know that there is "another" way of living, and the people themselves are happy with it. And also that in the end, we are all so similar. It really shouldn't be about the political vocabulary, it should be about just life. Live and let live

It's a very touching video for me. As a foreigner I've been living in england for 16 years, I had travelled most of the china since I was a kid with my parents, travel alone after I reached 18, then came to england and travel around Europe. I am fascinated by the history, food and people I've met. I can see the change of china from your lens, I'm glad I've been to those famous and non famous places before they were well developed, as not many people nowadays could experience going to a toilet being built above 2 parallel board behind a canvas in deep mountain. 😂 each of us is a witness of history, those highs and lows made our lives and made us grow. Sturt, have you found what you looking for?
