🇨🇳 Where Does My Wife Come From? (Countryside Life in China - GuangXi Province)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 май 2023
- Meeting Li (in 2015) was one of the greatest gifts of my life, and pretty much since our first month together I have been excited to someday visit her hometown. NOW that we finally have a chance in 2023, and we also now have the means to capture all of these memories on camera, it is with some of that same huge excitement that I can now share this day with my friends and family.
As you can imagine, the things we see and learn about, the things we eat and enjoy, and the family memories we make could fill several videos - I only have this one and so I hope that it can convey my immense appreciation at the chance to finally visit XiaLi.
Enjoy this video and everything in it, and know how special of a day (for me!) this is, and how much it means to have these memories together.
LOCATION:
120km south of LiuZhou, China.

I know how you feel. I am brought up in an Western environment and came back over 10 years ago. This is the real meaning of life. There is so much you can contribute to the people in the village. This is the real meaning of life helping and appreciating the people in China. We don't need all the flashy material things in the Western world. Just feel the love!
Cheers man, really appreciate both of these messages!!! Super.
@@JoelsTastyRide A lot of people go through a city life earning as much money as possible but not knowing the value of it. Once you've been in China, one realizes that there is more to life in this thousands of years civilization. They must have learnt something wise during this time. So much wisdom hidden away for us to unravel.

Wow . . . . . . ! ! My . . . . . . . .! !
Her body language is SUPER . . . . . ! !
Even a Ukrainian . . . . or a Russian can follow what she is saying. . . . . .
You might call this . . . . .
Carrying Pole or
Shouldering Pole
扁 擔 In Chinese. . . . .
She said her Grandmom used to carry rice . . . vegetables. . . .
or feeds for their pigs. . . . .
In case her Grandmom feel a little tired . . . .
She just roll over the Carrying Pole from one side of her shoulder to another. . . .
without lowering her body. . . . .
Many of your audience left messages saying that
this is really Life Philosophy. . . . . .
Very good vid shot . . . . . . .
So
Hey Joel. This video struck a chord with me. My father passed away 17 years ago and my brother bought his house, the house that I grew up in. For a long time, the house stayed empty until my brother and his wife decided to renovate it. It was completely stripped back to the wood frame and it was at this point I visited and had a look. Like I said, it was just a wood frame at that point, yet each "room" that I walked into elicited a different, but very clear memory and watching Li walk around her Grandmother's house reminded me so much of that experience. It was quite emotional for me too.
Jason I am reading this for a second time now, really appreciate it man. I do get what you are saying, yeah our minds are just so powerful! The things they hold as plain fact, but then the things we hold on to as so important just to US... and then everything that can come about carrying these memories until we actually physically return to a place where these events were born. Wow. Thank you again for taking time to share your own view with us!!
Good morning..❤ thank you so much for this beautiful vlog. Your video make me feel im there and understand how it feels to be there. God bless you and family. Lots of loves from Janggut 40, Marudi Sarawak
Nice country. Plenty quiet roads to ride a bicycle.
That pork soup you ate looks super delicious, I think I might try cooking that someday. I got instant hungry. Cute Baby.
✌ peace....watching from Trinidad🇹🇹.
I love the food scene in China, there are soooo many dishes and the amount of food that is available is crazy. I still haven't learned to pace myself at family gatherings because I'm so used to just eating all at once. One of the things that is going to take a while to get used to is the non-refrigerating of food after its cooked. My wife is from Hangzhou and her parents would cook so much food and they would place a large plastic bowl over all the food. We would then eat the leftovers the next day. It takes a while to get used to eating food like that, but I am excited to move to Hangzhou and experience the Chinese lifestyle again.
I am Thai, my grand parent came from Cheghai district near Shantou. I first visited my uncle and councils in 2019. It was dream come true, fortunately the old village was still there, make me imagine how life was in the past history. Nice country side, fresh air, love it, I may spend more time there after retirement.
Thanks for sharing 😌, I hope that you will get a chance to retired in a peaceful place. Enjoy the day
Hello Joel, I been living in Shanghai for 10 years and my wife in from Tia'an country side. Very similar where your wife is from. Happy to see these Chinese videos. Have a great weekend.
Hey Johan, wow, thanks for taking time to write! I do not reognize the name Tia'an, I will have to go check a map right now... glad you are enjoying this one, and I hope to see you for another China video next week!
I appreciate the emotion and sentiment here. My wife is from a rice farming village in Cambodia and when we visit it’s the same for me as it is for you visiting there. A lot of laughter and tears. Sometimes all at once. I can only imagine what is going though Li’s head.
We are going this summer and staying for a month. I can’t wait.
Steven, no way! Soon, this is soon, what a cool thing coming up, so much to look forward to!! Hey thanks a lot for taking time to write and share some of the things you're excited about right now. Thanks for spending time with us, hope to offer some more good videos in this series. Catch you soon, have a great day today!!
Why do western men flock to Asia taking advatnage of naive Asian people to marry Asian women? worst of all, most of these western men are worse then the local men. Don't they have women in their own countries? this is so sick
wonderful family joel fantastic video and you cry me because grandma and you have a close family very happy of course chinese in fantastic villages i loved it friend good food and chinese beer it must be cold hug your fan 🇵🇹😊😢
Thanks for sharing your family li
Yes this is a typical chinese family gathering atmosphere enjoy it blessings to u n family.
What an interesting video! I'm pretty sure I can answer your topical titular question! Based on the t-shirt I saw her wearing, I think your wife is from Kansas City!
My favorite item from the village: the gas station.
Im always glad reading the things you notice, sometimes I even have to go back and enjoy them again :). Li had a good one right there... IAN! Always great to see you man, this is definitely the type of video Im most happy to share and, yeah I assume you would find lots of cool and interesting things in here as well. What a day!! What an experience. Weeks later and its still such a daily gift in my thought process, my daily gratitude in many ways, but also in general just yet another bond that Li and I have together. Thanks for the message man!!! Maybe see you on Sunday!!
I like rural life very much, good food, quiet life, fresh air, beautiful field scenery.I would rather live here forever,
This is the real life, I like living away from the city
It's so amazing to see China ' s country side it's beautiful and calm for living I love China every country can live together with peace and harmony.
Aaron! Rock on! Thanks so much for taking time to write, very happy to share this special experience with everyone. And yes, Chinese are almost entirely peaceable and peaceful, especially in the countryside like this
Hello Everybody. Hello Li and Joel. Lovely to see where Li comes from. Countryside life is so peaceful!
A memorable and special video. Thank you Joel for taking us aboard and thank you Li for inviting us into your home with your loveones in China. For sure this trip brought emotions, memories, and feelings all intertwined. Happy birthday to your grandma🎈🎉🎂🎁. Happy mother's day to all mom's 💐🌹🌷❤️. May you, Li and the entire Brucrew have a splendid and blessed week.
🤗🙏🇵🇷
I will have to stop reading these comments pretty soon because the love and support for Joel and Li is overwhelming and it is going to make me tear up soon. Your wonderful spirit is appreciated. A wonderful week to you 💘
I'm from the US and I'm currently in China. I just came across your channel. You're awesome.
Awesome! Thank you wow what a cool comment!!! In Southern China?! Enjoy the trip Devon, thanks for the message!
I really enjoyed this video, one of your best. Just being home
Always great to see your name Rezyness, thanks for taking time to write today!! Happy JUNE :)
How wonderful for you to see another facet of the beautiful Li. Thanks for sharing this with us. I’m glad your trip was filled with heartfelt moments ❤
Yes, it is such a joy to see the history of Li' life. Sending ❤️ to you dolls
Great to see where Lee was raised. I also had humble beginning from Korea. My village didn't have electricity until I left Korea 1978
Joel, thanks for sharing these warm family moments with us. Believe it or not, my wife teared up watching this video. She's from China and it's been 3 years since we've visited her parents due to the pandemic. We're planning a two-week trip this October and honestly, I wish it was sooner. If I may inquire, did you enter on a tourist visa or a family visa (Q1, Q2)? Looking forward to more family videos and local food, yes food!
Pixelmelon! Ah, what a great message to read today. Greetings to both you and your wife, thank you so much for sharing your reactions to this
Thanks for sharing!
Greetings from New York Joel Bruner and Lei.
You are such.a great story teller and a very sweet man. Peace be with you.
Love your videos!
Thanks for sharing 👍🙏
We appreciate your time in supporting the channel
Hey Nhip!! Great to see you! Cam On
Yahoo!! Hiya Max!
Happy Birthday to your Grandma and virtual hugs to your cute Chinese grandmother.......... why are they always so adorable. 😊
I’m very impressed! Now You Shine!! Great job Joel❤
Thank you for a beautiful message, I love those words "You Shine!" I hope this finds you doing very well today too!!!
So beautiful.
Thank you for sharing it my brother and thank you Li for showing us a part of China we might never see ourself ❤.
Mennooooooo YO! Dude, thanks for all the support these years, thanks for joining us for this special vid today. It was a DAY, a great day for sure, thanks again for taking time to write.
I've watched a thousand and a thousand videos over the my years. This is my most favorite of all-time now. Thank you Joel and Li for sharing.
It is a special post because Joel and Li were not ashamed to show the reality of Li'upbringing. A lot of people would not do it but I am glad that Li' upbringing strengthen her to strive for excellence. Enjoy your day
BIANCHI!!! Yes, YES! Haha thats the sound of me cheering out loud :). Yes, you have indeed watched pretty much every thing/post/video I've made, thank you for loving this one, thanks for joining with us today.
Max, wow, thank you for a very special comment as well. Im gonna sit here and enjoy that for a minute (and thanks to God yet again for introducing us to you, you to us).
Rock ON!!!!
This video is one of best ones you’ve done Joel .. visiting li’s family ancestral home , meeting her side of the family . Quite emotional because one can imagine the hardships of her childhood , living conditions which was common back then . Humbling . I love their idea of extending the family compound for future generations . Thanks for taking us along .
Beautiful comment and you are spot on. We tend to see the nice side of most RUclipsr but not the 'real' side. Have a great week
God bless you both ❤️
Love seeing you embrace the countryside and your wife's family.🎉
Beautiful video Joel n Li.. love from Malaysia ❤
So awesome to hear from you Lau, I hope you are having a great day today!!!
Thank you for sharing this lovely family video with us, much appreciated.
This is a real and tangible example of the 700-800 millions Chinese who moved out of absolute poverty in one generation . It also showed China as a developing and not a developed country. Not all have entered the middle class yet, many are still at the poverty level, or lower middle class. Especially at the rural villages and the northwest.
Life will be better for many more in another 20 years if China is not forced into a war or be invaded again.
All hardworking people need are law and order, stability, opportunity, and vision from their leaders to succeed
Wish them all luck and prosperity
Beautifully said, have a great week
I haven't even watched the video yet, but I was so moved by Joel's description of the video, what Li has meant to his life, and how significant it is to him to visit Li's home town. I love love! I love this couple! 💕
Gigi, you always leave the BEST comments
I agree with you. Thanks for loving our Joel and Li 🥰
Good Morning Li & Joel & a Blessed Sixth Sunday of Easter in which today's readings included: 1 Pt 3:15, "Beloved; Sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts. Always be ready to give an explanation to anyone who asks you for a reason for your hope, but do it with gentleness and reverence... " I will enjoy this video knowing you are at home in the countryside with Li's Family. As today is "Mother's Day" in the USA it is fitting that we see you visiting Li's Mother. Peace be with You & the entire BruCrew. Have a Blessed week!
I look forward to hearing about your lesson from the scriptures. Please keep sharing and stand firm on the promise of Jesus Christ that he will come again soon.
@@maxf3253 The verse from 1st Peter (3:15) is a classic apologetics challenge for us Christians. When someone asks you why you are hopeful, why you look for the light when times are dark, etc., it should be answered "it's because of Jesus Christ", in a way respectful of others' beliefs. Peace be with you!
@@superfastener I 💯 , I am proud of my Jesus
Ron!!! I saw your comments earlier and, man, another one?! All gifts!! I am going to enjoy what you've shared from 1 Peter right now as well. Thanks for the Mothers day wishes too, I hope youre having a great day TODAY Ron. Blessings, and love, and maybe see you Sunday morning!
We have SO MUCH to look forward to
The foods look so delicious Joel. You can’t get that kind of foods here in the USA. Thank you for sharing your video. God bless you all. 🙏🙏🙏🙏💕

Hi Max!!
My wife is from Yizhou City in GuangXi Province. Lots of good memories from when I visited her village and so very similar to your wife’s home town. I can feel everything you’re experiencing in your video as I have lived it too. Such a wonderful time in my past life. Thank you for sharing.
I love your T-Shirt! Amazing Joel i can relate to this! My wife is from the province here in the Philippines 🇵🇭 and its very simple… rice fields all around us home in Amulung here in Cagayan Valley. Thanks for this video. God bless you always. 🤗❤️🙏🏻✝︎
The simple life is normally the bestest 💖
Great to see the countryside. Thanks for sharing

Beautiful family
Thank you 😊 Pakawan have a lovely day today!!
Building in levels is what happens in Guatemala. You see many houses, maybe two stories, and then rebar waiting for the next level, as you can afford it. Very practical.
Hi Margaret!! Great to hear from you, are you currently in Guatemala? Have a wonderful day, thanks again for hanging out with us!
Thank you for sharing your family with us Li! You are truly blessed. What a wonderful trip, I’m thankful you got to reunite with family. ❤🎉
D Bz, thank you so much for all the shared time yesterday, that Sunday morning (for me :) ) was excellent, and time well spent. Thanks for today, taking time to comment, thank you for enjoying these very special moments with me. What a day... whew. Grateful, and feeling GOOD!

Rock on man, hey we will have our normal weekly live hangout again this Sunday, 8AM Thailand time, if you wanna say hi it would be awesome! And then, see you for the next one :)
@@JoelsTastyRide awww bless you bro x hey I will do if I’m awake! 🤣🤣
I was hoping for a Weezer song at the end. You gave us the "Green Day" Happy Birthday song. More guitar Joel!
Well well, :) I guess I missed the chance to start something fun, not an easter egg but... what is it called, the way that Marvel always wait until after the credits and then leave some more video at the very end of "the video?"
I dont think my Grandma knows Weezer but, ROCK ON Doug, Weezer may or may not be constantly playing in my heart all the time anyways.
Hi Joel...
Ive been away for quite awhile!
Good to be back with this video....wish 1day I will get a chance to visit the places of my ancestors...Taishan n Fujien.
Very fortunate your wife can go home to visit her family.
This video reminds me of my ancestors that leave their home behind in India between 1845 and 1917 and travelled on a ship to work in Trinidad🇹🇹 expecting a better life but worked in slavery conditions.
Today in 2023 life is much better in Trinidad many Indian families are very successful in getting school education and starting business or having a good job but you know some of the indian people in Trinidad including myself are living in unfortunate circumstances and everyday life is a real struggle and many times I wished to go back India to live but the sad thing is that I do not know where my family lives in India and maybe someday if I get information about where my family lives in India by searching through public records I am not sure I will be accepted by my family that lives in India because it has been more than 100 years of no communication with my family in India.
India has a caste system where the rich people and poor people live separated apart.
But life in Trinidad is better the rich people and the poor people live together in the same communities eating food at the same restaurant, drink beers and coffee at the same bars, partying together, working together for those that have jobs.
In Trinidad if we have problem with no pipe water in the village or no electricity or security problem we can pick up our telephone and call our government minister and the government minister will answer the telephone call, but I heard it is not like that in India life is different.
Presently for me I am unemployed and every company and contractor I asked for work is not hiring me, the problem is the prime minister (black man) and his government closed the Petrotrin Refinery in the year 2018 and the Government also caused Arcelor Mittal steel mill to close business in Trinidad and many thousands of citizens born in Trinidad including myself have been unemployed since then. I do not receive any type unemployment benefits from the government because the Prime Minister is an heartless and evil dictator that hate poor people.
Awesome video, I love ripe mango
🙏
l am very sad hear of your predicament in Tobago. l hope it will get better. Here in america, Indians dominate small businesses. They own most of the convenience stores and gs stations.
U have a wife with great natural beauty. N the baby is so cute 😍
Indeed, wow, and thank you for reminding me! Something that I should never go a day without smiling about
Excellent. I love the Guang Xi and especially Yulin around summer solstice. I’ve been fortunate enough to celebrate the lychee and meat festival there numerous times.
JONO! Man, great to see your name! Super!! Hope youve been well, thanks for writing today, and a happy JUNE greeting to you.
I so appreciate this video, I think this is your best one yet!! Thanks for sharing and a great big thank you to Li for opening up her ancestral home and allowing us to ‘visit’. Thanks Li!! I’m convinced there’s great wealth and happiness in poverty. I grew up very poor and can relate to everything you just shared with us. We didn’t know we were poor until “good” people told us so and decided to point out how we were lacking. But thank goodness my grandparents and parents ignored all that nonsense and brought us up to study and work hard and to be grateful and happy with what we achieve. And we were very happy!!
Pearl River is branded on everything it seems - never seen Pearl River beer but I was using my Pearl River Soy Sauce and Oyster Sauce as I was stir frying my veggies. 😂😂 Much love and appreciation 🥰🥰🥰
Your post is beautiful and thank you for sharing a part of your upbringing. Anyway who thinks that monies begin happiness is so wrong!. Love, manners, respect, having a dream, education, giving and most importantly faith in Jesus Christ are some of the best qualities that =happiness . I love you my sister 💞
@@maxf3253 Thank you Max. These days it seems money, wealth, power and ‘influence’ (the new catch phrase) are the only means for getting ahead but in my book (the one with the capital B) they’re no substitute for love, respect, good manners, integrity, compassion and generosity … and the greatest of these … is Love. Much Love and love you too my sister and friend!! 🥰🥰🥰
Man! you are living in the wonderful life... love the countryside
Amen, YangNoo, great to hear from you, cheers to LIFE!!
Joel, beautiful home and family you have.
Keep up the good work!
Steven!!! Thank you for taking time to write today, I hope you are having a great day wherever you are!
Wonderful, thanks for sharing my hometown China
HIII Sherolinnah!! Great to see you!
❤beautiful countryside.
Xian! Thank you so much for taking time to write, and hang out with us today 🚀
Wow that s0 cool and interesting! And family history
Loker, rock on!!! Good to see you, hope today is going great for you man.
Buena combinación, entre lo urbano y lo rural, para darse una buena vida con sencillez y tranquilidad.
Wow! So glad Li convinced you to bring the camera! This was so great to see where Li comes from and really awesome to watch you getting to experience it as well. Thanks for bringing us along! Li's excitement to be home is fun to watch ❤
The love for Joel and Li has grown stronger because they were courageous in sharing such personal information. Thanks for your support always and have a lovely week.
Thankyou for sharing. That was really really interesting. A BIG HAPPY BIRTHDAY to your grandma Joel 🎂🎂😁
It was a beautiful and from the heart post. Enjoy a wonderful week 😊
Thank you so much for the cultural video ❤
We were in China in October for a month and had the best time of our life be it food and general sights as well as the system. I am thoroughly impressed, and we are coming back next year for a tour to enjoy the food in Chengdu and technology in Shenzen and Guangzhou.
This is really a wonderful message. I love hearing about this, yes, I would say impressed is one word that says it for me as well. That’s so cool. You also want to come back again next year, I need to follow your lead and explore Chengdu. I still have not been there yet! Cheers, and thanks again for the message Roy, have a wonderful day today.
It would impress you if you were to find out that along with my wife there was my ninety five year old aunt who thoroughly enjoyed China so much that its she who wants to return there as well. Good luck in Chengdu.@@JoelsTastyRide
Happy birthday your grandma.
Thank you Joel for this video. I think we all need to learn how other cultures and countries live, it is so fascinating and different from how the Western world works and lives. What we take for granted here is simply non-existent in some cultures. I don't know if that is 'better' or just simply different. It opens all our eyes. Thank you!
Wow...this China series is getting more and more exciting...👍100%❤100%..
It is truly a wonderful blessing to see this side of Li'.
I got through college (1980's) with ZhuJiang Beer!!! Back then it was a cheapy beer, last time I was there some 20yrs ago, it was a prize awarded beer. I'd like to think me and my buddies put it there... ;)
Awesoooome message, haha, great that you noticed this :) :)
Wow seeing Li's home and your experience being there is amazing!
Li is so fortunate to have her awesome family home to come back to. Her heritage is priceless. I love village life. I left VN back in 1975 at the age of 8 along with all of my siblings and parents to the USA. Viet Cong took everything from us we have nothing to go back to. To this day, I still hold that resentment against the communist and have not returned to VN. All my precious memories are all with me. That is why Li is so blessed to have what she truly has.
I recommend you to let go of the resentment & go back. Things are much different now. A lot of VN vets came back & were happy that they did. I hope you consider it. You only live once & go visit while you are still able to.
@@tl1533 Agreed with you, I have let go and planning on visiting VN sometimes in the near future
The love and hospitality in this video. Very nice of our wife to encourage you to bring the camera. I enjoyed watching the country side dishes and views. I met a lot of chinese people when I visited Thailand 2017 and they were nice to me. I was a party monster then hahahaha. Im looking forward to my next visit nearly next year
I love this message!!!!!! :) :) :) Just saying, hahah I have read it a few times, I love it.
I love ur videos! You are my new favorite food series
Andres, wow, thats quite an honor!! Hope youre having a superb day today! Thanks for the message
Congrats Joel & family... I haven't watched you in 2 yrs b/c I was on my own journey. Glad to see you & your family are doing well. Wow!! Little Joel!!! Congrats!
DANG! Go life, your message is awesome, and welcome back, BUT haha you are totally looking at the thumbnail on that one... ok, just giving you a hard time, it happens sometimes. It WAS indeed great to meet our newest nephew though, he is so cute! And visiting his house (and Li's house) was amazing for sure.
Ok so! WHERE were you for 2 years?!?! Amazing journey Im sure, wow.
The love and family love especially is wonderful ❤
Thank you for sharing.🙏
So appreciated. Enjoy the day
🙏🏼 watched in humble silence, pure positive vibes, keep it up and only warm wishes to you and your family…
SUPER cool message, Hover, great to see you, and wow thank you :) thanks for taking the time to join us today!
Thank you so much Li for sharing such a personal part of your extraordinary life, humbling beginnings has made you the super woman you are today. Joel this was a very touching video I could feel your emotions and how much it has made you more appreciative of Li. I loved how Li grandma face lit up when she saw you, it spoke volumes. Li family are beautiful people with their continued determination to make a better life keeping family always close, what a wonderful outlook.
I'm so pleased for you, Joel. I know you know how blessed you are. I really, truly wish I had 5% of the blessings you have. Never let them go, Joel. Hold them and treasure them always.
Lovely comment, and your blessings are unique to you and from your gratefulness in your post I know that you are blessed 🙏. Have a brilliant week
@@maxf3253 Thank you so much maxf, unfortunately it does not feel that way. Bless you.🤗
