Gonna miss Matt. One of the originals that started my traveling journey. Because of this channel, I solo traveled to Africa for 6 weeks and now have best friends from countries all over the world from people I met there

Man I didn’t realize just how much I miss Matt’s presence. As a Chinese adoptee I also forgot how much I missed parts of China

I lived in China for 4.5 years, the best 4.5 years of my life……..seriously considering going back in the next 5-10 years forever

Great video. But I have to point out: 1. The men in navy blue uniforms with whom you took selfie are actully security guards hired by property management companies. There are not many policemen patrolling the streets as foreigners might think. 2. The tiny car you were given a ride in is designed for grandpas' or grandmas' trip to grocery stores or for them to pick up their grandchildren from kindergartens. That's why there's not much room for adults. 3. People with whom you danced together were wearing traditional clothing of the Uygurs.

As a Chinese, it makes me happy to see Americans come to China and truly see the nation and our people. Thank you!

As an American living in China for the past 5 years… the majority of the people here are so incredibly warm-hearted and welcoming. There’s so much that people outside of China would never or could never understand or see about life here. I’m so happy that this series is bringing new light into y’all’s eyes, but also the people that watch this video. The minds and souls of the regular Chinese people aren’t broadcasted through news and other propaganda we’re subject to. I hope you’re entire trip is incredible and something to remember! If you have time, come visit Hebei Province Baoding City - I’d love to show y’all around! 😁

As a Chinese, I fully heartily thank you guys for showing the real China to the world. Great job!

I lived in Shanghai near Jing'an temple in 2010-2011 and it was one of the best years of my life… the food, culture, nightlife, and people were incredible. Such a shame that there are many, especially in certain subsections the US, that think negatively of China… but I think that’s slowly starting to turn around.

I did a similar thing in 2015 in China, but went out to a remote village on the border of mongolia with no hotels or anything, and the taxi was so confused why he was dropping us in this super remote village. We knocked on doors to find a place to stay. We had one of the best nights of our lives hanging out with the locals and sleeping on their floor. I love China so much and feel it's misrepresented in so many ways.

As a foreigner living in China, I will it’s so much safe out here. Btw the guys in the uniform are not police officers but security guards

This channel has helped me in so many ways the past few years. From starting to learn how to snowboard all the way through my next adventure of climbing mountains in europa and South America..Covid brought me down in a deep dark depression that I only shared with myself and I was just starting to follow and watch this channel right before hand 2018. I still struggle with depression and such, but with the tools that I've been shown and how to use them, I've managed to want to continue on living and move outward in life with exploration of different countries on a budget, meet new people. I love what this group of people! Thank you for the courage!

Only found your channel 3 weeks ago but it's so uplifting with the generosity and friendlies from the strangers you meet, it reminds you to forget what the news and media try and tell you and to realise we are all the same under the skin. Love it. 👍

I'm an American who has lived in China for 11 years, and I want to thank you guys for coming to China with an open mind. So many people who talk about China online and in the media do so with an agenda, and most don't understand the country at all. The reality is that China is not a perfect country (no country is), but it is incredible in many ways. People in the US are constantly bombarded with negative information about China to the point that they imagine it as a scary, dystopian nightmare. I highly recommend that more Americans and Europeans visit China to see it for themselves. People-to-people exchanges are vital, and if more people understand China better, it will help ease the insane geopolitical tensions.

as a second gen chinese immigrant growing up in the states, i can't express how appreciative i am of ya'll for helping the world see beyond the stereotypes. yes china has its problems (doesn't every country?) but it's also full of life and love. can't wait for the rest of this series!

I love watching videos like this. It's so nice to see such kind people, such hospitable people, like those who took you in. It gave me the impression that everyone who entered the studio afterwards was smiling. I can't help but be happy with such videos, especially when they see you for the first time and don't know you. In my country the mentality is a bit more nasty and most people are not set up like that, where to shelter people. But that's why you are there to create this content and to show different cultures and different people. Be good people. May everyone who read this comment be healthy and smile at life. Thank you.

Hey! Your work inspires people all over the world to be kinder to each other. Greetings from Czechia!

This video made my heart just explode. China was the first country I ever visited, and I ended up living there for a year. The people are some of the friendliest I’ve ever met and I wish more people would understand that they’re more than just what you hear on the news. Beautiful place with fantastic culture, amazing food, and genuinely good people. 💛

As a woman in my 40s, I’m sure I’m not the demographic you’re aiming at but I haven’t missed one Yes Theory video over the years. My favourite YouTube channel. Truly inspirational, eye opening, informative and some really beautiful cinematic storytelling over the years.

It always truly amazes me what you guys are able to accomplish through seeking discomfort. The connections and memories you’ve made throughout these years of doing Yes Theory truly blows my mind. I hope to truly embody the idea of “Seek Discomfort” someday myself. And to Matt, as sad as it is to see you go after so many years of enjoying your presence with the Yes Fam, I wish you the absolute best. And I truly hope you drop in once in a while and surprise us in the videos! Best of luck, and as always, seek discomfort!
