    As a long term resident of China (16 years) and 12 years in Shanghai, It's so good that people overseas see how friendly and welcoming Chinese citizens are. In all my time here I've never met a more hospitable and generous people. If you're outside of China please don't believe the negativity of the Western media, it's just political posturing. China is an amazing country full of awesome people. Come and visit and you'll soon realise just how incredible it is.
  • Allen seems like such an amazing person. So genuine and nice. Seems like a great father too. I love how one of the things he mentioned was how this whole thing could end up being a core memory for his kids and impact the type of people they are when they grow up.
  • This country is packed with nice and sincere people and as just another Chinese I offer my best gratitude for showing the great humane / kind facet of my people.

    Incredible. I am an Indian living in Australia and I've managed to build an advertising agency with 50+ clients. The strange part of it is, they are literally ALL Chinese small businesses that I work with. They are the only people in Australia who gave me a shot and allowed me to make a living. Very misunderstood people as a whole thanks to Western Media and some of the most generous I've ever encountered.

    Alan would make the perfect host of Yes Theory China. You guys better get him back on the channel again!!!
  • @user-kl8pl4rv2y

  • @Heyoliso
    As someone who is Chinese, it’s so nice seeing how welcoming everyone is and how this has put a positive view for many about China. Thank you for making amazing content like this
  • I always understand why people don’t want to bring strangers around when they have children, but to the ones who openly trust and see the best, I understand why their children will be so much more understanding and open-minded.

    "We're far apart but close in heart" damn that made me tear a little bit... this episode is one hell of a ride and surely one for the books!!! Thank you for inspiring us as always!!
  • @hailhellvetica
    i love this so much. I feel like sometimes the west has a skewed perception of Asia / Asians...that we are closed off or not as friendly. But thats not true! Just like any culture, theres always people who are down for anything! This video is proof that even though we are from vastly different cultures and values - we are still HUMAN and have compassion, curiosity and respect for one another. This is a really important reminder in this troubling times we're going through. Love yalls. Peace!

    I'm 25% through the book so far and it's such a fascinating read, very well written. Matt's personality shines through his words and makes it a very enjoyable experience! This video and every video you guys seem to upload match the tone of the book so perfectly. So it really is the yes theory book, perfectly captured!
  • @yuanallen-er2tw
    What a video!!! Just watched the whole video in laughs and tears!! This will be at the centre of our family documentary shelf!! Great pleasure to host you Cory, Derin, Matt, Stephan, Thomas, Yan and everyone to the house!! Welcome to come back any time! FROM YOUR ALLEN, MISKY, EVAN and HANNAH
  • i'm from El Salvador but i grew up in china. i can assure you Chinese ppl are extremely friendly. i would always get greeted with kindness wherever i went. China is a very misunderstood place, its nothing like the media plays it out to be. China is my second home and i miss it so much. both of my homes, China and El Salvador are very misunderstood countries that are portrayed badly on the news, but are quite the opposite when you go and explore. this video is only a tip of the iceberg of how friendly and hospitable china is.
  • @onicrevette5316
    Loved it ! I lived one year in China and it's always difficult to defend China to people around the world.. Your video just did that in a very beautiful way! Thanks~ But also I've been wanting to go back to China for years and now I want to go back even more x.x
  • @kaozerlahey8135
    Makes me cry because I want to experience these friendships and wholesome relationships But knowing I won’t have the money to visit and friends to go with. I actually have a few tears running down my face. I wish to see this beautiful culture and beautiful people. God bless anyone who reads this and just know I Am Proud Of You For Not Giving Up In Life.
  • @jonas.zehnder
    It truly is sad that most of the things we read about China here in Europe are mostly negative. Seeing this group of people come together, being kind and loving to each other makes this even more special. You’ve shown exactly the opposite which is beautiful. This video definitely inspired me to visit China and experience this myself one day.

    "You're no longer strangers, you're like old friends" such a great human being.
  • @KyCandicee
    as an asian growing up in the west and disconnected from my own culture, this is wonderfully wholesome <3
