Thank you for your comment! I’m constantly learning how to improve my work. Currently, my plan is to focus on capturing the 4th and 5th-tier cities in China, along with the nearby counties. As for the more remote villages, I might start with places that are easier to access. I’ve heard that some of these villages have recently become popular for gathering on weekends to form markets and trade. Other villages might be harder to enter because they can be wary of strangers, worrying that someone might steal their dogs, as dog meat is still consumed in some areas here

I also know street vendors like that, but I'm not sure what level one needs to reach in Hong Kong to achieve that success. In mainland China, you need to be somewhat popular to make it work. So, it's important to stay passionate and present yourself cleanly, and to put your heart into it. Given the current poor economic situation in China, many people might just be entering this industry temporarily. I've seen more failures than successes; many give up because they find it too hard to make money. Especially during tough economic times, when the unemployed turn to this business, there's more competition, and the government becomes more eager to issue fines.

@@China_small_cities_record I moved from the US to Southeast Asia 34 years ago. Most of the vendors I mentioned are mostly here in Southeast Asia which have a lower or similar standard of living compared to China. These people can have children paying extra to study in the US, while Americans have to take-up loans to study lower domestic tuition fees. That says a lot. Sometimes white or blue collar jobs do not guarantee financial stability as compared to being entrepreneurl. Like what the Chinese here in Malaysia always say... Looking good does not mean it taste good.

You make a very good point-once people experience that kind of success, there's no turning back. But first, they have to be willing to try. That's why I have great respect for those who continuously adapt to their environment. The grilled pork skewers on the streets of Bangkok, and the suki and pork leg rice at Chiang Mai’s North Gate night market-many people miss these after leaving. China's economy is different now compared to the past; the economic structure has changed. With the economic downturn, a large number of unemployed people have flooded into the night markets. As Chinese people become poorer, high-end restaurants are closing down one after another, replaced by countless new affordable small restaurants. The demand has shifted, and people are turning to cheaper options. They also engage in fierce price competition on the internet-what used to be $1 for a bowl of rice noodles is now only $0.5. They are just trying to capture the market quickly through subsidies. So, in the past year, every day you see different small restaurants or vendors appear and then disappear. It's natural for consumers to become more demanding-if you can't win repeat customers, you'll disappear quickly.

@@China_small_cities_record Same phenomenon here too. The only difference is that it's the Chinese diaspora in all of Southeast Asia that is still thriving. I often wonder why as to that for many years.

Overseas Chinese typically originate from the Guangdong and Fujian regions of China. Many people from my hometown began migrating to Southeast Asia and the Americas as early as the 1920s. The primary reason for migration was poverty, as their hometowns were mountainous areas with little land to support them. My grandfather's younger brother was the most successful because he diversified his efforts. He first went to Mexico and then to the United States, and the love of his life was a Mexican woman. Their descendants are now middle-class in the United States. Hard work is just the basic condition for success. He often reminded us to live with dignity; no matter how tough life gets, when you step out, you should always be dressed neatly and appropriately so that others won’t look down on you. Integrity was also something they valued because living overseas wasn’t easy. The Chinese community in Guangdong had to stick together to survive. If someone cheated others, the news would quickly spread throughout the Guangdong Chinese community. Of course, I'm talking about the past, and I'm not sure about the current situation. However, these beliefs align with psychological principles: if you appear successful and are genuinely honest and trustworthy, people will believe in you, greatly increasing your chances of success. Of course, the most important thing is to share risks-wherever you are, you can’t be selfish; you must integrate into different environments. So, I believe that the reason why those Chinese people have greater resilience is that they take a long-term view. The concept of harmony between heaven and humanity is an important part of Chinese culture. However, this requires continuous and diligent personal cultivation. Success is always easy to see, while those who fail are often overlooked.

Thank you for your feedback. I'm currently struggling with finding the right balance for my thumbnail choices.😂

The organizational structure of communist countries is somewhat different; they spend money on public spaces. Most people bear the burden of huge mortgages for this, leaving them with very little money to spend on themselves each month.

You haven’t explored enough then because it’s only dirty in midtown Manhattan which is one of the busiest places in the world

He didn't even say anything political in the video, in fact most of the statements he made were negative

Yes, the main industry here is sericulture, which is common in mountainous regions. Additionally, China has a fiscal transfer payment system, where wealthier regions regularly send substantial funds to poorer areas while keeping energy prices controlled. This funding is the primary source of income for the local government, enabling them to build impressive infrastructure and roads, creating an economy largely driven by public sector spending. The rest of the population typically seeks work elsewhere. So, you might notice in the video that although there are high-rise buildings, the streets aren’t very crowded, and there isn't much commercial activity because many young people have left to work in other cities. They often send their earnings back to buy apartments here. However, due to the Chinese government's policy constraints and the discovery that a significant portion of these funds has been lost to corruption and waste, the amount of transfer payments this area will receive in the future is likely to decrease, leading to a worsening situation over time.

It was built in 1951. That's not old.

That's a slum.

@@marcbayarea1980 Your logic is totaly wrong. Have you found any children here? Think about it with your wisdom.

cmiiw another channel with similar content explain there is no direct translation for this kind of residences in english, so they use slum from dictionary.

@@nogosari3596 I understand why those places exist and their function in the city and in society as a whole. It’s always great to have a roof over your head, but those residential areas are dilapidated and moldy. On top of that, those buildings are only 80 years old. There is a high probability that most current residential buildings in China will look like that in the near future due to poor construction.

a bit safer L.A. then

Or L.A.

@@SneedforSpeed This is worse. Even Detroit isn't that nasty.

@@marcbayarea1980 Totally distinct. Here in China is lagging behind but very safe, while Detroit is famous for its violent, killing with guns.

The distance from here to the Hunan border is 470 km, and the climate is quite similar. Perhaps because of this, the architectural styles have many similarities.

@@China_small_cities_record Ah thanks for the info!

No, I'm just here on a business trip and exploring the area while I'm at it. Next, I'll explore the nearby cities and gradually move north.
