How do Chinese Parks work? Why are they selling WIVES?

- Chinese parks are quite a different sort of experience, other than being a place for people to try and sell off their sons and daughters for marriage to other families, it's the only place people are really able to go out and practice their kung fu, dancing, singing, musical instruments etc. Of course there are the regular activities such as having a picnic, hiking and playing sports (as well as some boating and fishing) available as well. Come and join Sasha and I as we get the low down on how Chinese parks work.
The primary goal of attending the marriage market is for parents to find a suitable partner for their child. The standards of finding the right match may be based upon (but not limited to) age, height, job, income, education, family values, Chinese zodiac sign, and personality. All of this information is written on a piece of paper, which is then hung upon long strings among other parents' advertisements for their children. The parents walk around chatting with other parents to see if there is a harmonious fit only after their children's standards are met.
Umbrellas used for advertising
Many parents do not have permission from their child to go to this event. It has been described as "match.com meets farmers' market" with a low success rate. In many parents' eyes, parent matchmaking gatherings such as the Marriage Market are the only way to uphold a traditional dating style for their children in modern China. China's long idealized tradition of continuing their family lineage is very important within Chinese culture. As the children of the One Child Policy start to become of typical marriage age, the so-called marriage "market" of China has wavered in stability, particularly for males in China. The University of Kent predicts that by the year 2020, 24 million men will be unmarried and unable to find a wife.
Recently, well-educated women in China with established careers are in less of a hurry to get married. They have more options than women in past generations and are not afraid to put their career first. This change in marriage ideology puts the women in a higher position of power within a traditionally male-dominated society. Now more women seek to find a responsible man with personal integrity instead of just a high paying job.
Many men's standards have changed with the progression of women's status in the work industry as well, they expect a woman that has been educated and well on her way to a career path. But what has drastically changed is the older generations viewpoint on the subject-they agree with the younger generation, with the two most important qualities in a wife being "elegance and a decent career path," quite a change from "diligence and the willingness to suffer the burden of life".

Tell Sasha her English is getting a lot better since the first time you formally introduced us to her.
Will do! Thanks
serpentza Thanks! wow lol didn't think you'd actually reply!! Glad you and C-MILK are so engaged with us (the community) means alot!!
was about to make the same comment!
Richard Li You do not have anything better than troll a gentleman's video insinuating false facts about his character ? Let me guess you are Winston's personal doctor .... I doubt that seriously as I would think being married to Sasha a doctor she would be his doctor ... Before you even reply back saying he had an STD before he met her let me point out in China you can not get married with life long STD's ... In regards to the places he goes if you looked at Winston's video you would know he does not like to go where the tourists frequent ... As far as dodgy places he may or may not go just because he goes to them does not mean he partakes in any of the dodgy services in them . Just because you can not restrain your actions around such places does not mean Winston can not ...
Just pack up your belongings into your handkerchief tie it on a stick and go elsewhere... You and your other troll cronies can better benefit this channel and the loyal subscribers of it by hitting the road 🙄
I KNOW , right????
You guys are so excellent at click-baity titles. I mean this in a positive sense. They're never exactly inaccurate, but they are sensational, for lack of a better word.
They still loved your comment though!
@@T_bone because serepntzaa knows what he's doing lol
A Chinese friend was turned off by this. Credit due to not wanting to please everyone, but it distracted her from content that attracted many of us to the country in the first place.
@@spartan.falbion2761 what did you mean by this i don’t understand
i noticed that you smile more when your wife is around you :)
skeptic proof If I was Winston and I had a confident beautiful wife I would too ...
Are you saying your wife is not beautiful? haha
with a wife like that? come on everyone would smile more
True! I would like to see Sasha appear more in your video! You are great couple 🤗🙏
David Sullivan Wish it was true for me.
I wouldn't say it's selling wives, because there are no monetary transactions. It's more like a dating service organised by overly concerned older generations. I wasn't aware that they were doing it without the consent of the single men and women involved, but that totally sounds like something Chinese grandparents would do. Lol~
well generally you have to pay the female's family once you marry her... so yeah basically buying using the park or not :P
Ridiculous comments “selling wives” from Serpentza !
@@MoonLiteNite Dowry and bride price exist in many cultures outside of Asia. If a man proposes with an expensive ring, we wouldn't say he's buying his woman, right? It's a bit judgmental to use "buying" and "selling" to describe the situation.
@@Leveosaa Sadly that's a false equivalence. Although I can somewhat see where you are coming from
However if we are to use an exemplum; a person in a certain country goes to the government office to get something done and the worker there says he can do it quicker for a gift. That gift is naught more than a bribe in reality.
A bride price in reality is a price on the bride (who knew), now that doesn't mean that's bad, but to say that something that involves price and a transaction of wealth for something isn't "buying" and "selling" is ludicrous. Now it can be that it is done with a symbolic price in that case it is just tradition.
@@captainlafty4606 Marriage in many cultures involve exchange of money and gifts. It seems arbitrary to label one as a tradition and the other a business transaction.
What was described here in the park is more of a dating gathering without the Internet. No money was involved in that specific process. You don't take off the poster and pay the other grandmother right then and there. They exchange contact info and tell their grandkids afterwards about this new guy/girl they found in the park. The real issue here is grandparents reduce their grandchildren into education, properties, salary, career and appearance. That's the sad part.
Now, there are actual cases where Asian women being kidnapped and sold to men in other countries or regions. That's the real selling and buying of wives.
2:15 Most depressing badminton game.
They need to try the underhand swing
@Thomas Karl - Mom said no underhanded tactics. 😄
Aww, at least they're trying guys!
lol
@Aleksandr Älękseyevich L. true men never play badminton
Winston, you have a lovely wife. She's a good sport for putting up with you! You're both pretty awesome.
She certainly is! Thanks mate
serpentza don't suppose she's got a sister who's single,and just as lovely has she bud?lol!
Ian Leishman She has millions of Asian "sisters"- take your pick!
Billions.
My parents told me that if I'm 30 and single then they will come to a Chinese park to find me a wife.
@Mycel Today I've learned that there are always piles of beer bottles outside German cathedrals...
If that was Finland, you wouldn't. You'd have the 60 something year old hobos going around every night cleaning the place up and cashing in on those bottles...
@@mrgabest In Germany there are always piles of beer bottles everywhere!
@Mycel Jeez, I'm 33. I was with a Peruvian woman for 10 years and she left me there was a lot of indigestion. I took German in High school though. now I am left shamed by multiple cultures. Apparently i cant hide from shame any where in the world I go .
How is it going? Did you find a wife, it's been 3yrs?
China is really beautiful in many ways, very strange though, at least it is to me. I'd love to go on vacation for like a month there and see as many historical artifacts and natural wonders China has in store, don't think I could ever live there though.
Still though, even though I may not want to live in China ever, your videos are quite interesting. It's a cool window into a pretty different culture. So, thanks for doing what you do.
+Epilepsy Channel Sure, China has his ugly sides, but pretty much every country has those. That's however no reason to say that only in videos or pictures china looks beautiful, there are still plenty great places to visit in China and we should not neglect that fact.
Adamfromky Many artifacts are fake, badly maintained or badly renovated or rebuilt, most of them were destroyed in the first place.
You def need at least a month to go on vacation there. Anything less and its simply maddening esp if its your first time there.
Start planning for it. Find out what China is all about. Watch documentaries, read about different places on the net and eventually you will have a more clear picture what to see and that might not allways be what you expect. From that you will get a broader perspective and find things you didnät know existed. There are more then the Great wall to see yo know, even if it can be a fantstic place to visit too.
You should go to Japan instead. Less or no scamming foreigners meanwhile in China most people think you're filthy rich and try to pickpocket you, try to take advantage of you.
In Japan things have better contrast color meanwhile in China it's overall grayish, kinda depressing.
Most importantly, Japan is much cleaner and tidy.
I love all the music you use. I guess it's because of my huge affection for 80's music.
I commissioned a really talented subscriber of mine to make this music, he made a whole album: virtual-vice.bandcamp.com/releases
Wow he is really good! I might buy that album
that badminton game looked exhilarating
+Lt. Feltersnach beat players ever
+Lt. Feltersnach *best
serpentza figured as much! its morning over on that side of the world I believe.. so have a great day!
A bracing game of shuttlecock, my friend.
FYI, god of badminton is a Chinese .
ruclips.net/video/BDFafqskt7k/видео.html
Mate, your videography skills are second to none... audio, video, editing, production.. just thought it was worth recognising your efforts!
+OutdoorsIQ thank you mate! That means a lot!
True.
I love Sasha. She comes across as quite intelligent. She should start her own channel
I agree! I'm trying to convince her to do it
serpentza Yes Sasha should start her own RUclips channel for herself as she is very wise and insightful ... Winston you have a wife that is truly awesome which is a complete match to your awesomeness 👍
serpentza 很棒Buthi, 继续告诉你老婆"加油!"
Vivi's channel is really interesting to me, I think Sasha would also make really interesting content
Good idea, I think people would love the Chinese view point (I know I do). Its one of the reasons I like Vivi's channel
I'm really impressed with your wife's advancing grasp and use of English.
I recall earlier videos where her saying 'Welcome to the video' was said mimicking sounds without much expression. Now, it's different.
She speaks more languages than I. Good on her...and you. :)
You have the cutest wife. :) :) congratulations bro.
She looks like a Hollywood actress. When he said he married someone who was divorced I imagined the usual 40-50 year old MILF type you see on dating sites. She totally blew me away!
Keep this nice lady away from trump supporters if you don't want to experience racism in US.....
@@frugalgardener7921 liberals are the true racist... they are the only ones ever focusing on race. I’m married to a lady from China and I am a gun owning, Trump supporting, Militia card carrying, Christian... oh, I also do volunteer work to help build up disadvantaged neighborhoods... but hey, that probably completely blows your views out of the water doesn’t it?
@@rileyen4608 Would add I have meet all kinds of Americans, and the most hostile have actually been "very progressive" Americans if you don't agree with them. And I use the "very progressive" as a Danish person by the way, don't know why they keep thinking we are further left than them, we really ain't.
We are more liberal than Americans, but that does not mean we like open borders, immigration or communists. We have one of the most closed immigration systems in the EU if not the world, and we would like to keep it that way, only the far left parties don't like that. The rest of the parties just agreed to open up a immigration station in Africa. Meaning if you come here illegally, we will send you down there until your application goes through or you denied. The wall idea would actually have passed here, if not for the environmental problems and border shopping we do in Germany.
You are very lucky to have found such a great wife. She seems very sweet to go around with you and explain so many ordinary (to her) things about China. I disagree with the other comments that she should do her own channel, I think your videos where you two do the filming as a couple are really cool!
you kind of look like him
Just back after a month in Nanjing, staying with my soul family in China, and encouraged by all the great vids from serpentza and c-miik. Going back next month for a year this time. China is the future now, and the past made visible. I fell head over heels in love with it.
thanks for another interesting video winston. u and cmilk make my shitty days in canada seem a bit better.
and your amazinh wife definitely needa her own channel.
matt terrain - what do you mean? Canada is the best country in the world. There is nothing shitty about it (other than the current economy).
He didn't say shitty Canada, but his shitty days in Canada. That's a difference.
Pot Ate Toe No country is perfect. Give my a country and I'll show you their dark side 😈
7 months ago was summer! Would have been perfect to go out and bond with the local Canadians!
This is one of the best intros I have seen to your show because you gathered b roll to the topic of what you are discussing. Keep up the good work.
Do you and the wife usually converse with each other in English or Mandarin?
A bit of both
And that's that
what language do you argue in?
@@EpicBunty He in English, she in Mandarin.
@@serpentza And your wife is beautifull and a beautifull person your a luck man to have her mate
Nice that there isn't any feces on the ground from pets or kids. Wondering if you would do me a favour and post my profile in the Wife/Husband market in the park. LOL joking.
Chinese parks are some of the best places for people watching. I love watching senior citizens do all kinds of ridiculous dances 广场舞.
Hi there Shar! Are you available for long distance dating? I have WeChat too.
Happens in my country too in Ireland. Every Sunday they gather and dance.
0:25
These are some of the bits that make me love this channel, the Easter eggs he puts in his videos are just subtle and hilarious. See how the guy is synced with the music? That’s on purpose and it’s funny af
I can see the same type of shyness in Sasha as I do with my wife regarding their english. I've noticed some Chinese speaking english where it's evident that they are very advanced in their mimicking of the American accent. But every time they slip in the vocabulary or the sentence structure, their whole accent comes across as artificial. For me, this makes them look disingenuous.
Sasha your english is awesome, your accent is absolutely adorable and makes your personality shine through. The same way that any person should do (native or non-native, myself included) continue advancing your vocabulary but don't bother trying to change the accent. Even native speakers have a large variety of accents and there are plenty that have horrible vocabulary. Be proud of where you are. You've done great!
😢
I like how your wife appears to be opening up more in front of the camera and also contributing more dialog. It's nice!
Is is possible that I can meet Wing at one of these parks? I'm soon going to move out of my Mother's basement, and am just getting promoted to burger flipper at Burger King, so I'm basically a catch
In your dream
Yes, every single night
ASloaneRanger wing lives in Hong Kong not mainland sorry bro
ASloaneRanger With so much going for you, hard to believe you are still single.
Ben - What's the problem, no distance is an issue for me to meet my love
6:36 is that granny advertising her daughter/grandaughter with a pic on a stick? oml HAHA
Please do the martial arts episode soon, can't wait!
As a long time subscriber, I demand you take off your sunglasses in slow motion at the end of every video :D
Hahaha she doesn’t need to get frustrated with her English. Us Americans in and around Chicago are horrible at it even though that is the only language we speak lol
He never harmed China by his videos. They were all truthful portrayal of China, both good and bad. Maybe he is right in thinking that there are overly sensitive Chinese persons who want to hear praises only, and who sometimes even mistakes a compliment as a criticism. What a pity!
己所不欲勿施于人 这是中国人的价值观。
in English: No judgement!
You are not something.
Never Cringe!
如果Everyone can judge China。 那你还叫我“You Stfu”? 自己都不知道自己在说什么，你的“言论自由”呢？就说两句，都前后语义矛盾。
洋人都可以出视频黑中国，我作为中国还不能站在中国人立场上评论两句 好一个STFU。
我告诉你，洋人这种说辞是在质疑东亚的饮食文化，不是你认为一个简单的“狗肉”问题。穆斯林不吃猪肉，也没说像这种西方人一样说别人。
中国人被洋人黑得还少吗？
其次我深刻怀疑你的英文水平，本视频强调，中国吃狗肉everywhere 真是这样吗？
我告诉你，你这两句英文水平，已经注定让你 在洋人面前“唯唯诺诺”，但请不要把你的膝盖也给了洋人。
你可否解释一下为何视频说中国到处都是吃狗肉的地方？ 请问这是黑吗？
你就这么认了？
那我说你是“非洲猩猩”你敏感不？ ，你是南非人，哈哈，那我给“中国人”招黑损害到你了？
你敏感了？
谁敏感？ 我作为中国人说中国话，你一个南非猩猩就开始“敏感”了？
@媽媽說名字不要取的太長我問為什麼 Shut up, you stupid. We Chinese do not need you to like it. The things that you anti-Chinese foreigners comment on in the video produced by this blogger are more demonizing China and insulting China. I have seen enough. Since China is really so evil, why do foreigners living in China not go back to their own country, must they feel distressed in China? The psychology of masochism, is it? Haha. These losers, eat Chinese food, drink Chinese water, play with Chinese immature young girls, and then fucking to make some one-sided subjective videos for you to insult and smash. Fuck these rubbish. What qualifications do they have for discussing China? They should go back to their original shit and expose those who don't dare to go out at night, sucking marijuana and keep saying: "I need more freedom! God bless me tomorrow I can continue to live. "The idiot. Haha, all the bad things in China can be fucking and related to the Communist Party? ! To be honest, you are not just hating the Communist Party. The Soviet Union was disintegrated. Does the West forgive Russia? Answer: No. The motives of the West are simple. They don't want to see the developing and growing countries grow and develop so that they can better exploit other countries to serve them. Of course, this does not mean that I hate foreigners who are honest and friendly in China. In addition, there is no perfect country in the world. How do you evaluate your country?
8:55 damn you have the cutest wife!
I love Sasha in your videos!
Another thing I'd like to comment on is this is actually very interesting phenomenon in modem China, you should have some depth of what social problems behind the story instead of an eye-catching headline, you'll find out it's much less then commercial or about money, rather it is more about the agonies of Chinese dads moms over their unmarried, untraditional children in an ever fast pase society.
Christmas cakes are a universal problem once a country reaches a certain level of development.
What you see happening here are the results after nature has played its part and the realities of having to live and function in an organized society become apparent.
I used to feel sad for folks that were forced into pre-arranged marriages until I got older and realized that in many cases their marriages worked out better than in chosen ones.
I got to say that almost Chinese City have their own public park, and it's free. In my hometown which is a very small city we got 4 public park, and one of them even has a amusement park inside. I just visit the Zhongshan park in Nanshan last moth, it's a very beautiful place, you guys should check it when you are free.
Jeez Winston, you're a lucky man! What's funny is that you can tell that you've both picked up some cues from each other in the way you both talk like when you said 'yeah, yea' and she repeated it just like you at about 3:13.
I think wife park is a good idea. I would have liked it if my mom had interviewed the mother of the girl I was going to date and make sure she is from a good family. Obviously China has many income levels so parents don't want their son or daughter to marry into a family of hard up, money hungry scammers.
She is a very bright and beautiful wife you lucky dude.
Seems very happy and smiley. A kind soul.
Sashas english has nicely improved.
The urbanization of the heavily populated areas makes it harder and harder to preserve green space. I went to a park in Seoul S. Korea that was barely .8 km (half a mile) square and the people I knew drove for 30 minutes to get there and really treasured it and were proud of their green space, they were showing it off to me. Being from Canada, I didn't appreciate the value of a space like this in the heart of such a huge urban center.
Winston, so much better without a suit. It really seems to connect more here and your wife looks really cute with the NY baseball cap.
Winston, nice to see you in this video with your dear wife. A positive video, for a nice change. Here, in this video, the people in Shenzhen China are easy-going and carefree when they are in the park with their families.
Asian people are Awesome... They are so proud of who they are and they should be. Westerners should learn family values from them...
Who is they?
definitely not a sweeping statement about half the woorld population that....
where are you from? dont they have family values where you live? these values are usually passed on from one generation to the next. if standards have declined or no longer exist it is the fault of the parent or grandparents. you look old enough to be either. maybe you failed somewhere?
@@fonkyman hahaha
Its nice to see the kids having fun with their parents and not slaving in non stop schooling like some Chinese families do to there kids.
Lovely content! Keep it up!
Agree
Grew up in small town Canada, lived in Japan, China and Philippines for work. In Canada, if I want peace, quiet and solitude I went outside. In Asia I had to go inside. There are always crowds of people outside no matter where you go.
BULLSHIT! they are not selling wives or their sons or daughters, it is match making for their children, in China specially HANs they only allow to have one child, they love their only child and hoping they should get marriage when they supposed to when they come to the right age. And if the son or daughter still not seeing anyone, the parent will try to get involve and here you have the parents in the park posing their son or daughter bio, its a match making like your friends finder online. Besides its free and genuine rather then many match making agency(they cost you a lot and there are many scam agency too)
JOSEPH STALIN Are you another 50 can’t commenter? GTFO brah
Craigslist have their personal section.
i made the mistake of going to a mountain top park, i had no clue what i was in for. gangs of girls surrounded me. it was fun, kind of, they are surprisingly aggressive but civil while they all compete for my attention.
Really want to know, why don't they have pictures if they want to really up-sell their daughters?
If their daughters were good looking enough they wouldn't come to a place like this
I Really Like you both, very cool personality and information. My daughter is in her 5th year speaking Mandarin and I must start!!
Your wife is so pretty and seems to be a very sweet lady.
that marriage market i think it happens in almost every major city in china public park, same thing happen in shanghai people's park every weekend there will be a huge grandma, grandpa 'marketing' their grandson/granddaughter to find their partners. even they had special section for foreigners or chinese born in foreign country, once i saw one ads stated that he worked in silicon valley making 200k USD / year (age late 30) and still difficult finding a wife. kinda depressing and interesting as well
Great moves Serpentza. Keep it up! Proud of you.
KNAWLEDGE !
She’s so cute with the NY cap! Tell us more about camping and RV please!
bride bazaar , we had this in greece
αλήθεια; αναφέρεσαι στα προξενιά ; xD
νύφοπάζαρο !
It's not the same.. they are just advertising their children they're not selling them for money. And the children themselves are never 'put on view' in person, unlike the greek bride bazaar.
Anatidaephobia People weren't actually selling brides in the Greek bride bazaar. It was similar to the Chinese one. The way you are explaining it makes it seem like slave trade.
Mr30friends Well, it’s not just all papers and posters in the Greek one - the brides are there in person. While the Chinese one is more like newspaper classifieds, as you can see, the daughters themselves are not present. There no financial transactions or exchanges involved or discussed in these Chinese places either.
Winston, your videos keep getting more professional; keep it up!
Amazing! I have witnessed all of this in China (Beijing, Shanghai) - also including walking/running backwards. I admire their group activities like exercising or dancing. Almost impossible in Europe where everybody is kind of ashamed to do it in public. Also I wonder if through these marriage ads, a foreignor can find a spouse, too? And their vending machines and small shops are so advanced in terms of payment methods. On the other hand, Wechat customer service is unreachable if you need anything.
Your wife is very natural on camera. You've clearly taught her well. :)
This is so cute. Parents always trying to find spouses for their kids, but this is to a new level then what I am used to!
If you go to Shenzhen you really need to visit Lian Hua Shan (Lotus Flower Mountain) park. And there are several other parks that are also very nice. I lived in Long Gang district for about 3 months, near a park called Long Cheng. There are also several small to medium sized mountains near or in the boundaries of SZ. These are hills in the 2000 to 3000 meter range. And in Hong Kong, very near, there are also several very interesting places if you like hiking.
To find them, the search engine to use is Bing, since Google is not available in China.
Try to go on a non-holiday weekday when everybody is at work. Then you will have a lot of space in the park. Weekends and holidays are going to be very crowded.
Also, be ready for many steps if it's a mountain. The mountains tend to be very steep, so they tend to put steps instead of ramps. Personally, this hurts my knees after a couple hours. Take a walking stick, at least that helps me. Rubber tip for the brick pathways.
So its like a place to arrange marriages?
I can't speak for China mainland, but in HK and Taiwan, the online dating sites are quite active.
ElementEvil matchmaking for dates, some actually appreciate the effort because they feel they don't have enough time to find a partner.
Warren Lauzon We do have a lot of online dating websites in mainland,China,and young people are really active in those websites.But this kind of park is usually for those retired parents wanting to find a good date for their children,because they don't really trust people on the internet,and in these parks you can take a real look at the man/woman which could be a part of your family in the future.You know,it's no harm to know more.
I enjoyed the parks in China too. You concetrate on only one thing, Usually there was also kung fu, some kind of sword fighting thing, badmlinton, card players, chess players,, karaoke and buskers and lots of dancing.
Beautiful park to say the least . Interesting about the "wife market" there as well. I am glad you went with Sasha .. I believe you would have not been able to leave "wife market" without starting a riot of the grandparents wanting you to have their granddaughter . STAY AWESOME Winston Sasha can not wait for the next video from the two of you 😉
It‘s not “wife market”，It’s marriage market they also “selling” male.The old people is the parents who be written on the paper.Some of their kids is too busy some of them dont want to get marry.parents worried about their future.most of them dont know how to use smartphone.they are doing this behind their kid's back.and as you know the result usually can‘t be good .after all failure they still keep trying.this market maybe very strange but start with love.
As a wesrterner i think its endearing and a little odd obviously to me culturally .Its more endearing though our culture is so anti communal anything that it just seems foreign to think while you are working your parents are trying to find you a quality wife/husband. Absolutely nothing wrong with it i think its nice in a way actually .
I like your choice of Retrowave tunes for your videos!
Lots of evil aunties and uncles there. lol
they do similar in Italy where parents and their marriageable children will promenade piazzas or roads in the hopes that someone suitable will come by.
is polygamy ok in China?
If you can afford it
It may get you in all kinds of trouble but if you like challenges in life, go ahead :)
if you don't get caught, sure
No unless the wife is a minority definitely NOT Han.
Minority are NOT ok. Only in one tribe in the remote hilly area is ok.
+serpentza does she realize you are surreptitiously training her to narrate a video? :D She's doing great so far, and you are obviously a good teacher guiding with an invisible hand.
I love the vending mahcines in china...
@ 4:05 is there also a place in the park where the grannies are up for grabs? ;) Thanks for including the Kung-fu btw, I could watch that stuff for days!
It takes a lot of courage for someone to speak a foreign language on camera. Sasha is definitely getting better with English. Nice NY hat btw!
wtf i thought it's just stock photo of a model girl on the preview!! ahhhh she's looking so awesome😍
what a lucky
I would love to meet an Asian woman someday. Chinese from Japan it doesn't matter to me. I have a friend that has a Chinese wife and I find her very interesting for sure. Definitely better than an American women without a doubt..
I'm chinese , tell you chinese women and JP's women are so different,you will know.
Without a doubt? Huh?
rofl yellow fever much, you come off as a creeper.
I am from England , have a Thai wife and work in China. For sure Asian girls are beautiful but you must still connect at a deeper level. I never planned on a Thai wife, I met her whilst working there and over the 6 months there connected strongly and we have been together for 7 years. The cultural differences will keep things exciting / different / out of the mundane for many many years, you just have to be patient with each other if translation / miscommunication issues occur. All I can say is do it, Asia has much to offer. Good luck. ;-)
Yes, Japanese women don't spit and wash hands regularly.
Nice to see and hear more from Sasha.
Both of you are Gorgeous..
i Agree ♥♥♥
I like how you included Sasha in a more prominent role this time. Great video :)
Wow Sasha looks much happier in this video. Not even just a bit, but a lot.
lol when I was living in ShenZhen there was nothing...our nick name for it was Hell's End. Development started with a nice amusement park that was put in just as we left.
I saw notice boards for parents trying to marry off their daughters in the peoples park, Chengdu a few weeks ago. I didn't think they were 'selling' their daughters, just concerned their daughters weren't married.
Best video with Sasha yet.
Wow! That part of the dating classifieds are like some kind depressed. Selling people for what they have no for what they are. I wonder how many of those relations works.
Winston, your wife is a great compliment to your videos. Yours is an awesome channel.
As always, and 'awesome' video ;) Do you live far from the park in the video, or did you travel there specifically for this video? Either way, it looks like any normal park here in Melbourne, Australia, only with a lot more people there. Keep up the good work.
YOU TWO ACTUALLY LOOK OK IN VIDEOS - KEEP IT UP.
You guys make a cute couple! :) Been following your channel for a while now... keep up the good work!
for chinese living in other countries, there are match makers available. kinda like real estate agents... lols. but it's mostly still the grandparents who are shopping for their grandkid's partner. some of the people just go along with it just out of respect for their grandparents.
Especially when the grandparents are at an age that is close their end. They want to make sure that the grandchild they love the most ends up with a good partner or family. the grandchild in return goes along with it out of respect to their grandparents, plus more often than not, the favorite grandkid also loves the grandparent alot anyway.
it never goes outside a normal meet and greet over lunch/ dinner. it'd be the male the female, their grand parents and the "matchmakers" in there. LoLs. it's a bit awkward.. but it never goes farther than getting each other's phone numbers nowadays. And if they hit it off, then good, they can continue to date, if not, then they simply just ghost each other eventually.
It's really not as bad as other people make it look like, it's not different from doing blind dates, except wealth does come more into play compared to your friends who just match people depending who they think will make a cute couple. LoLs.
But there was this video i saw where the grandparent from one of these parks go, "25?!? Too old!" that made me lols. That doesnt happen outside china though where woman are much more empowered and the ones with really good professions are respected. LoLs.
It is interesting to see all of the people in the parks...
but I would not call it hiking when many people are using concrete steps and high heel shoes
A friend of mine met her husband through her Grandmother who organized it with another grandparent she met at the park.
"- Well, a village IS a PARK.
- Farmpark." :D
Vending machine is one thing, but cashless vending machine is another, that's cool, you can't even find it in Japan and South Korea where millions of vending machine placed in every corner everywhere.
I've recently started watching your channel and it's really interesting. I don't get why so many comments say you hate China when you clearly don't. Bringing the spotlight to the less than great things doesn't mean you hate a place. I love where I live (but want to travel in the future) but I could point out some of the negatives without meaning it's all negative. Your videos show the other side and that's awesome.
Man has anyone called you Jason Statham yet? Because you are 100% Jason Statham
Awesomeness. I've been curious about the nature parks in Shenzhen. How are the mountain parks western Guangdong? Just got back from a Mon, Tues (not crowded) at Xiqiao in Foshan. Worth a visit!
Your wife dont want to collabo on your rant of china, but she knows someohow china has huge problems ...obviously chinese parks are boring, you have to take grandma and grandpa, why couldnt they go by them self ?the sellimg parteners is good, i know manny boys and girls in romania who whould need that, is good better than tinder 😂 is garantied by grandparents qith a lot experiemce ... Enyways this episode was extremly boring but i watched it till the end
camping?.... Maybe "afternoon delight" (listen to the song, afternoon delight) BTW Sasha was very cute and loved seeing her, don't wrry about the haters.
It's like dating website but for people that don't want to use internet. That cute.
8:35 “President” Xi’s personal yacht makes an appearance.
That gimble really makes all the difference in the world. People may not notice it...but isn't that the point? They sure notice shakey camera work!
Always great videos. Keep up the great work.
ive been to that park. very beautiful park :D
An informative and educative video, stay awesome!
I thought the title said PEOPLE SELLING THEIR WIVES lol. You'll actually earn money from the sale! Way better than going thru divorce court. :D
Thank god i don’t have grandparents like them
