Your English is excellent and I feel complimented by your love of our strange little corner of the world. Bless you! I do hope you become happier and happier. You do have a lovely aura!
Hi Lisa. It’s nice to see that living in the UK has boosted your self-esteem and confidence. You tend to find that people who make negative comments about other people, often have feelings of inadequacy, and their own problems regarding how they look.
And yet there are many here who say Britain is done, and bad, working on a agenda of trashing Britain and it's people. Nice to hear the opposite viewpoint for a change.
Those people who seek to diminish Great Britain are agents of our enemies, the only way these deviant countries can hope to win is with our collapse! That is the reason behind Scottish independence movements, that is the reason nobody mentions Russian or Chinese interference in the Brexit vote. We MUST wake up and fight for our BEAUTIFUL BRITAIN, it surely is the brightest star in the sky of human history.
@@G0ldfingers we have our problems, biases and bigotries like any culture, but there are lots of good things about the cultures of the four nations, often it takes someone coming from outside to highlight them
I don't know about China, but in Britain we don't have 'inferior' people. All people are of equal value and importance. Glad to hear you've gained some confidence from being here. Its important that you know you are just as valuable and important as anyone else.
Lisa, that was so very nice to hear. My only experience of Chinese people is from a working visit to Hong Kong, forty-five years ago, and they brought smiles to my face every day. Everyone I met there was friendly, polite, happy, hard-working and had a positive attitude. I loved the people and the city, and one incident will tell you why: English and Cantonese languages are far apart (you speak English beautifully, btw), but everybody really tried to communicate. One day I sat down at a street restaurant to eat. A few minutes later, it started to rain really heavily, so everyone picked up tables and chairs and moved them under a canopy which sheltered the pavement. I ended up sharing a table with a very old man. He spoke and understood no English, and I no Cantonese - yet we still had a conversation, about food, tea, and Hong Kong and Kowloon (with the aid of a map). When the rain stopped we had finished eating, shook hands and went our separate ways. That chance meeting was unexpected and uplifting for me when I was on my own in a strange city. I hope it was for such a nice old man, too. If an opportunity had come up to live there then, I'd have leapt at it and the opportunity to learn the language. I've travelled a lot, and Hong Kong was the best city I ever visited, with the loveliest people.
Great video Lisa, we live in a small town and when my wife first came here we went out for a walk, and when we passed people going the other way they would smile or say hello, my wife thought i knew a lot of people, i said no i dont know any of them we are just being polite, it took her awhile to understand this, and she still cant get used to saying thank you to cashiers when she is buying things.
Yes a little but also lack confidence like you she's not used to people saying nice things to her. Anytime she goes back to China all her family just say she's fat or her hair is not nice, or they don't like her clothes style.
@@AlanMartin-lc5di I hope she doesn't mind what her Chinese family and friends say. Living here and getting along more with local people will make her more confident. Is your wife good at English? I didn’t have much confidence in my first and second years in the UK. Later, I forced myself to try many things on my own, and trying to speak more.
Yes she is very good at English, her English is better than mine! 😂😂 But she lacks the confidence in her self. What her family and friends say used to make her sad and angry, but since we met and I have been building up her confidence and telling her that it doesn't matter what others think as long as she is happy with her self that is the most important thing, and she knows no matter what that I will always support her and I think she is the most beautiful girl in the world. So now she doesn't let it get to her and you can see she is happier now.
Dear Lisa, I am English and I always encourage my students, it builds confidence . Also you are absolutely FINE, skin colour,shape, size and personality. With respect you are an attractive, intelligent woman. And THAT'S the simple truth. I wish you well mdear. , God bless you. 👍😃
Everywhere has it's pros and cons. I guess some people's personalities are better suited to other cultures or countries than the one they happened to be born in to. It's good to hear your experiences here have been largely positive. Thank you for the video and for your honesty.
That was very interesting..Nice to hear some positive things about the British people..for a change ..So interesting yo hear about the cultural differences..They say travel broadens the mind !
Yes she is talking more to others, and like you she likes how warm people are. As we say - she is slowly coming out of her shell - it means she is slowly going from shy quiet to more open and talkative.
Hi Lisa, I enjoy your videos. It is very refreshing to hear your thoughts on the UK. it makes me happy to hear your positive views of the British people. I am so glad you feel welcome here. 👍
It's good to see your improvement over the time from your first video to now. I wish my chinese would improve as quickly as your English has. My chinese teacher(wife) is not very good! 😂
Im glad you have had a positive experience in your adopted country. Please give me regards to your husband and tell him i hope he is feeling well today ❤😊
Good video Lisa...I'm happy Britain is seen as more warm than China....There is a saying that the further east you go the harder and harsher people are😮😮😮😮😮
My last wife was from China, and we had two beautiful girls while living and working in Shanghai. Once we returned to the UK, she became more Chinese than ever. Just as you described how they push their children, it happened with us. I really could not stand to see the girls so young, under pressure every day. On top of that, her parents' interference really led to us splitting up. I only wish she could have learned new ways, but it was always up to me to change.
I think you can only learn how to be kind and tolerant in a kind and tolerant culture, you don;t tend to find that in a totalitarian country. I'm glad things are working out for you here and I wish you a long and happy life.
A Chinese work colleague came on a work trip to Europe. I asked him what he found different - he said he was struck by how many people readily gave him a smile on the street. He said this didn't happen in China. He went back a bit changed :-). Nice to see people appreciate your smile.
I know where to skin tone thing comes from. In Asian countries, the people that worked in the fields where exposed to the sun more, so had darker skin, whereas those that had money did not have to go out in to the sun, so had lighter skin. So it come down to did you look as if you are rick or not, the lighter the skin tone the richer you were. In the northern European countries, the darker the skin, the more you could afford to go somewhere where the sun shines, so had more money to travel.
No, as the saying goes when in Rome, do as the Romans do. You wanted to change. Like in the John Wayne film that said, not unless he wanted to do it in the first place.
Lisa, you discovered the most important thing about life in the west. Culture of the middle-east and the far east will like western culture when we win. I mean, in the west, we do NOT want to take anything away from anyone, but we want all people to feel free, we want all people to feel warm and welcomed. When we "win" that one thing, then eastern culture will like us.
Good for you, be your self and never worry about what other people think. Chinese people over reacting to the slightest hint of criticism is a sign of deep insecurity. The fact that you have learned to accept praise and criticism with equal equanimity shows your growth and maturity as a person. I would suggest having a look at the poem “if” by Rudyard Kipling, it is quite a good expression if how the British think and behave even if they don’t think about it.
GREAT VIDEO!!! The British sound a lot like Americans, I guess we came from there, so makes sense! Very happy you are meeting good people in the UK, many Chinese students go there and I heard many/most? just have Chinese friends, it seems a bit sad :( Chinese are great people I lived in China for many years. 中国人对我非常好我在中国的时候！好友好！
Thank you. Yes many Chinese people in the UK only stay in Chinese circles and join Chinese communities. I don’t, and I have never joined Chinese community .
It's always a joy to see your videos. I'm so glad your confidence is growing. And that people are kind to you. And I keep saying it I know but your English is getting better all the time. It doesn't matter what skin tone you are or the shape of your body as long as your healthy and happy that's all that matters. Have a great week bye for now until your next video
The way you describe China and the Chinese, they do not sound very communist. They seem very mean and unfriendly. That is not what Karl Marx was forecasting.
Hahahaha. Karl would've spluttered out his soup into his (enormous) beard if someone had told him that revolutions in his name would occur first in Russia and then in ... CHINA! The "struggle of the urban proletariat" (see the Monty Python game show sketch) was meant to give rise to the dictatorship of the proletariat in Britain or Germany, and Marx wasn't explicit about a violent revolution being needed to accomplish that: it was the Bolsheviks and Lenin who injected that note, drawn from the violence and oppression which have always been endemic to Russian political culture.
@mikerodent3164 I agree and I would have added that Karl forecast that the state would eventually " whither away" leaving a state of perfect communism. That has never happened in any country which has claimed to be communist and never will. This is in spite of the fact that all these countries cite Marx eg Marxist-Leninism. I have a copy of Das Kapital which I bought in Moscow in 1970 (there was nothing much else to buy).
Hi Lisa, Thanks for another great video and sharing what makes you Lisa! I often watch videos of life on the streets in China and wondered why no one seems to smile at each other. Thanks for the insight.
Hello Lisa, thank you for sharing your heart warming experiences of British life. May your life here be a long and happy one.
Thank you
I’m glad you’re happy here Lisa 💛. If you’ve started saying “thank you” and “sorry” frequently you’re definitely becoming one of us 😊
Love that!
Your English is excellent and I feel complimented by your love of our strange little corner of the world. Bless you! I do hope you become happier and happier. You do have a lovely aura!
Lisa:
You seem to be a very lovely lady with a great disposition. Don't ever allow anyone to make you feel inferior. You are better than most people.
Thank you so much
