    Hello guys, after quite some time!
    I have been spending my break taking some much needed time off, and now I feel that I have done everything that I needed to in this time. I will now be back to uploading regularly! Thank you so very much for all of your support (and patience).
    This video was filmed before the pandemic. I am back in the U.S. now staying indoors social distancing. I hope that all of you are doing the same, and are keeping safe out there.
    My next videos will include Lijiang, Tibet, Uzbekistan, Egypt, Kazakhstan, the southwest United States, and more! Good thing I'm stocked up on footage to edit.
    Also sorry that I kept changing my pronunciation of Xi'an throughout the video. It's really hard to say for me I suppose 😆
    I'm so so happy to release this video and be back! Feeling so so inspired and grateful to ALL of you! Stay inspired,
    - Jordan

    Actually the saying was “If you want to see 50 years history of China, go to Shenzhen; If you want to know 100 years history of China, go to Shanghai; If you want to find 1000 years history of China, go to Beijing; If you want to discover 5000 years history in China, go to Xi’an”. Because those cities were economic, technology and ‘New cultural’ centers in Chinese history.

    So glad you are back and safe! That last time I was in China, my wife and I took the bullet train from Shanghai to Xi’An, and spent three days there. Muslim Street is so colorful with tasty food, and at night it lights up along with nearby Drum Tower and Bell Tower. The City once was the great Chang’An during the Tang Dynasty. Truly a world city of that era. Of course, we went to see the Terracotta warriors, but there is so much more to see! The city wall, Ban Po historic site, with 6,000 year old artifacts, the Shaanxi Provincial Museum is fantastic, and so much more worth seeing. You showed it well in this video!

    Xi'an is my hometown. I grew up in Xi'an and went to study in Singapore. As a non-muslim in Xi'An, growing up it never occurred to me that I was living in a place surrounded by "dangerous" mus lims; I felt we were harmonious and united. There is a Mosque just beside my house on the same street, I have seen mus lims having weddings there and once I even saw a speed dating session organized there. In fact, some of the most popular dishes in Xi'an were brought here by mus lims. It was until I went to Singapore after I started to understand English and being exposed to the Western media, I became aware that having mus lims around was viewed as a potential threat to many societies, a thought which never happened to me when I was in my hometown.

      The muslims you have seen in Xi'an are HUI (native) Not UYGHUR it's BIG BIG diffrence...The Hui ethnic group are the most numerous muslims in china around 20 - 50 million, they are also the oldest muslims living in china because their ancestors are arabs and persians merchant who married chinese women 1300 years ago ... the hui are on the 56 ethnic groups of China the most closest anthropologically to the Han (the ultra majority ethnic group of China) the only difference is that they are Muslim... Hui are also one of the most privileged ethnic Chinese groups because of their patriotic and heroic commitment to the service of emperors (in the Middle Ages) and to the service of the republic of China since the communist era

    Thank you so much for speaking the truth. I worked 5 years in Silicon Valley. Cool place, very diverse. But I felt hopeless trying defending China for the false information from west media. Because I’m Chinese. Kinda lost the credit. 🥺Especially about the Muslim. My hometown is a small city in China, Wuhu. My favorite food place is a Muslim bbq lamb, and their beef noodle soup. The owner barely speak Chinese, only a few business related words. But they wore their traditional cloths, everyone got along just fine. My gramma was a Christian. I went to church with her all the time. But west media also saying China targeting Christian, tearing down churches. Just Insane! The US gov acts like a divorce lawyer, attacked China with every endless fabricated lies. I’m a big supporter for BLM. 🦾But I didn’t go to protest. I was afraid(maybe overthinking) that if I was arrested or my face was caught on camera, the media might make a narrative saying I’m a spy or CCP incited the protest. So I didn’t go although I really want to. 🧧I will never mention it in public, but deep in my heart, I truly felt that the racist towards Chinese is worse, when the whole problem got rationalized by the huge misunderstanding about China. Ppl just attack China calling ppl communist like it’s the worst curse... I know one video is not gonna change everything. But thank you so much for trying and the amazing work! Would u plz considering putting some of your content on TikTok too? That would be amazing, since tiktok is where the attention went these days 🙏🏼

    Xi’an is my hometown. I’ve lived in this city for 29 years and now I am having my PhD in Australia. I have many Muslim friends in Xi’an. And Muslim kids in China don’t need to pay to study from the middle school to high school. And they can go to really good universities in mainland China with lower grades. They have more advantages than the Han people. Muslim people are just the same as every one else in our city, except for their religions. We go to their restaurants almost every week.

    It was before I was seven. I still remembered a grandma always took care of me before my parents returned home from work. She never asked for any in return. We just watched for one another like any other Chinese people in other neighborhoods.

In Tang Dynasty, the chinese empire controlled most parts of Xinjiang and some parts of Krystzan, the famous poet Li Bai, which is a han-ethnic person, was born in places near Krystzan, showing that uyghur-ethnic chinese and han-ethnic chinese have habits of marrying different ethnic minorities(通婚). In modern times, some Uyghur-ethnic chinese go for DNA checks and find out they are not purely uyghur-ethnic, but with other ethnic minorities. This shows that uyghur-ethnic people and han-chinese people are not totally different.
      Secondly, all ethnic people are Chinese in China. We have 56 ethnic minorities and some unidentified minorities, and they are all Chinese. Hui chinese and Han Chinese are not totally the same in terms of eating habits and religion.
      Thirdly, The leader of Tibetan buddism is allowed in China after the liberation by the PLA, Dalai Lama flee to India just because of the advice of some tibetans at that time. The central governent of China is planning to start conversations with Dalai Lama but he flee away, leading to the break of the relationships between the tibet local govt and the central govt . Tibet is part of China since the Yuan Dynasty, and the religion leaders are given high autonomy, which the Qing Dynasty, ROC regime offered.
      Fourthly, Tibetan-ethnic chinese is still a huge population in Tibet, which occupied for 90% of the population, there are only 10% han-ethnic people, monpa-ethnic people etc. While in Xinjiang, there are 40% uyghur-ethnic chinese, 30% han-ethnic chinese and 5% kazah-ethnic chinese. So your claim of "ibet and Xinjiang are now majority Han Chinese" is not right and is totally a joke.
      Lastly, western media are not right on the Xinjiang issue, they make up stories just like they did in other countries, claiming that there are human right issues in the region. However, when they make up more fake stories and illusion, the truth will come out and the central govt of China wins more trust and support from the citizens. You should download Kuaishou(快手), follow CGTN, and scroll on the short video of USA claiming human right problems, you can see ethnic minority chinese supporting the govt, search for videos on kuaishou about ethnic minorities and you see how ethnic minorites live.

    I am very happy 🥰 that you make a video about the reality of my lovely iron brother China, because as a Pakistani I have many Chinese friends and I also believe and experience that China treat equally to all Chinese people no matter ,he/she from any religion or having any colour like in PAKISTAN all people are equal . But,one thing that I want to mention is that I experience so much love of all Chinese brothers and sisters as a Pakistani. The love between PAKISTAN and China is uncompareable. When,I was in China ,sometimes I start crying with happiness tears to see that they all treat me more than their families just because I am a Pakistani and when they(Chinese people around me) know that I am a Pakistani Muslim ,they treat with their best halal foods and all Chinese people of any age treat me as their family members. Love you China . I miss my days in China and I will come China soon . Love you all my lovely ,cute Chinese brothers and sisters.

    When I was 19, I went to china by myself and backpacked and hitchhiked throughout. I spent over 6 months slowly traveling and exploring the country back in 2013 when there were so much tension and stabbings made by muslim extremist. Despite the news at the time, I still took the risk and went on my bucket list Silk road trip from Xi'an to Kashgar. This part of the trip was the most spiritual and memorable to me. The amount of history, the mix of so many languages, cultures, religions and food was absolutely beautiful. Eventually I arrived in Kashgar during a sandstorm but the entire journey was once in a lifetime. Besides the extremists and stabbings, everyone blended like a large family. Thank you fro showing how beautiful the country is.

    Xi’an is the capital city of many ancient dynasties of China. Qin dynasty, the very first feudal dynasty which unified the whole country over two thousand years ago, derived from this area.
    In Tang Dynasty, Xi’an (named Chang an that time) was the largest city in the world with millions of people. And then, when Japanese built Kyoto and Nara, they emulated the layout of Xi’an and kept it till nowadays.

I’m glad you showed us this place because I honestly had never heard of a Xi’an before. Man was I missing out. You’re absolutely right. There are so many breathtaking sights to see around there, such as the mosque. I’m sure it gave you moments of contemplation just strolling around there & soaking it all in. Your camera & editing are top-notch & told a great story, loved how you described the scenes that you laid out such as the grandmother showing her granddaughter the playground she played at.

I was actually missing Xi'an and my time there and this video served its purpose in refreshing all those memories. Xi'an is an amazing place to live in! I especially love the people there! Yes, being a Muslim, It's satisfying that there are so many mosques and halal restaurants! :)
    There is a museum called Shaanxi History Museum where you could find the 5000 years old history of China. There is also another one by the name "Tang West Market Museum" and this is where the silk road started :)
