      I am a Chinese gamer. Don't believe how popular this game is. We are forced to play this game by the Chinese government! The government forced us to stay at home and gave everyone a high-performance gaming computer. Some people even got PS5! Don't believe what the Chinese media says! CNN and BBC reports are the truth! Game Science spent a lot of money to buy the sales charts of Steam! They even gave money to RUclips game anchors to promote Black Myth: Wukong! Everyone of them received money! Finally, thanks to IGN's review! It is objective and fair! It reflects the correct values ​​of the United States and Europe! There is no double standard and discrimination!

      ​@kj4636 I wouldn't be surprised if they were all purchased by private collectors but the people they bought them from obtained them illegally and were Chinese locals who were desperate.
      Because it's one thing for the government mobilize a nation to invade and pillage another country of their treasure then bring it back to put it on display as war trophies.
      It's another to think rich folks with more generational wealth than they can squander would entice impoverished locals to rob their own cultural heritage for another week worth of food under an utterly dysfunctional regime. Then years later the family donate or rent their family's ill gotten gains to museums.
      So I'm more blaming unscrupulous individuals of British descent rather than the whole nation's government edict.

    This style is a traditional Chinese opera style called 秦腔 (Qin Vocals). The dialect he sings specifically is called 陕北说书 (Shanbei Spoken Poetry/Book)。Supposedly the Qin Vocals were invented by the ancient Qin people that went on to form the Qin Dynasty. And it is still an art practiced today in modern day Shaanxi province. It is usually sang in weddings, funerals and opera houses where people drink tea and listen to Qin vocals. As someone whom is from the same province as him in China, I am so happy our culture is being shown to the world.

    This is one hell of a performance. They opened chapter 2 with this banger even as a Chinese native I cannot get over how good this is. Many traditional Chinese music/musical instruments were considered dying arts by our main stream media, parents are proud to send their kids to learn western instruments like violin, piano etc. Kids who learn old arts for a living are often considered less cultured and low class, artists who do this for a living usually can barely get by. Just look at this man's camera footage quality! (Sad) Then have you seen LangLang play piano? That shit got 8K with fucking raytracing!
    Seeing this artist proudly and unapologetically play and sing his heart out genuinely brings tears. I wish him all the fortune and fame in the world!

However, he switches to Standard Mandarin with hardly any hint of a regional accent when speaking.
