Your Mandarin is so eloquent, you speak to this man with pure respect, referring the pronoun as Nín instead of ni, all the best to you and I am sure the simple and kind gestures that you have shown on your videos are worth watching, especially for young generation!
I agree. I speak Chinese mysel after studying in Beijing. And you speak fluently and show much respect at the same way, totally embracing the diffences of the culture. Great job of helping that poor old man out! Have a great time travelling in China!
I’m a Vietnam Veteran who was stationed in PhuCat back in 1967-68. While in Vietnam serving, I helped a young shoe shine boy the entire time I was in Vietnam. Bought him a bike and clothes. Vietnam is an amazing and beautiful country. Your caring and loving spirit and your good will towards the locals is admirable! You are an amazing ambassador for the USA!! Keep it up.
Christopher ….this is what makes you attractive ..doing good deeds like this …not because you are bi lingual …giving back to the community like this shows you have a good soul .. now that’s attractive !!! Respect ✊🏻
It always breaks my heart to see older people working so hard especially in a lot of Asian countries because they're pushed to the back burner when they're deemed "useless to society". I don't know how true that is, but that's what I've been told traveling around and living overseas for awhile.
All depends on the family situation. Traditionally, the children take care of the parents. However, China had the one-child policy for a long time. If the parents out-lived the child, they usually ended up having to make a living anyway they can. With the current lack of marriage and child birth, China will end up with an unsustainable higher elderlies population.
Pretty weird thought process. Seems like throughout countries like China, Vietnam, maybe Laos/Cambodia, not sure. But especially China, Grandparents and even elderly strangers are venerated. A young married couple are expected to take care of parents and if they are still alive, grandparents (glad there’s social security here) as well. A terrible burden on the couple but it’s their duty. Except this poor man is probably in his 60’s-IDK if he said-and he’s considered worthless to society. With nothing to contribute. So he’s out on the street hawking fruit and vegetables. He’ll probably go home to a bowl of noodles with a little meat, maybe, or a bowl of rice. And lay down on a mat on the cold hard floor to try and sleep for a bit until he has to get up in the morning to start over again. Apparently he has no family to take him in. Something is wrong with thais picture!!
I've certainly seen it in the U.S. and Canada. Seniors in their 80s not able to live on their pensions. Forced into the service industry when they have obvious painful disabilities. So very wrong. We do not respect our seniors in these societies.
Kudos to you Chris. Your Mandarin is right on point, you have soft & warm heart. Just remember "what goes around comes around". Thank you for helping another human being. Buddha blesses you with good health and happiness,, good nite from USA.
the question is, would he do it if he never had thousands of people to show his kind gesture? and knowing he will get more views and subscribers which is more money. it's better to help people in humble ways, privately.
You are absolutely such a kind heart. It was so emotional to watch what you did for this man. You bet I’m a subscriber and love all your videos ! Let’s spread the love and get Chris more subscribers! We can do it.
That was sweet. I also liked those guys who wanted to give you some money because you spent so much doing a good thing. I forget how many good people I met in China.
Tqvm for your kindness. It doesn't matter if he overcharged you because you were prepared to help him anyway. If the fruit is mangosteen, then it is definitely more expensive than local fruit. Wishing you the best.
Same here hope more sub so he can do more good deeds. I’m stoked he isn’t greedy and shares not only his $$ and Experience he is giving us Americans a name as most of s are.
I was homeless for 2 1/2 years in the US. While working, too, because the cost of living is so high. “Americans” were very cruel to me. There were very few exceptions. Government assistance is the biggest fu*king joke. I lived it. I assume you had a comfortable life. @ms.cristinaleon
Chris, thanks for helping this man get home early. It’s good to hear your Mandarin hasn’t been lost at all. I remember watching your old videos when you spoke it all the time. Please do more Chinese spoken videos inside Vietnam, too. 👍🏻
“The Bear does not concern itself with the opinion of the Sheep”. “The Dragon does not concern itself with the opinion of the Sheep”. “The Sheeple however concern themselves with the opinion of the Sheep”.
The old man did overcharge you. How awful he was! He didn’t deserve your kindnesses! Anyway, as always I hope that you are safe and happy for your future trip!❤️
Always love your videos, so thoughtful to help that elderly man. I hope that any extra money that you gave went towards something he truly needed. Thank you for sharing 😊
Chris, (LOVE FROM PAKISTAN), I am following you from your Pakistan days, and you really are a kind soul and very different from other tourist to learn the language of area first and get to the people on personal level and bargain for higher prices or buy something you don't even need. Keep it going you have a long way to go and flourish due to your authenticity.
Love what you did Chris! It's interesting to see the difference when you did similar things in Vietnam and China. The aftermath of covid restrictions in China is obvious that people prioritize money even when you offered to buy all of their fruits so they could go home early. It's understandable, I'm not saying I'm against that fruit seller, I know he has no choice. It's this aftermath of 3-year covid restrictions.
Thân thiện và nhiệt tình của người việt rất là tốt, mình là người trung quốc ở mỹ, mình có nhiều bạn người việt, mình hy vọng tương lai các vấn đề xã hội của trung quốc sẽ được giải quyết.🙏
The one-child per family policy resulted with many older generations having no means of family support, especially if the parents out-lived their only child.
The Russian military carried out a massive wave of strikes on Ukrainian military and energy infrastructure on Friday. The barrage, using high-precision long-range weapons and drones, targeted Ukraine’s energy facilities, the military-industrial complex, railway junctions, arsenals, and deployment areas where the Ukrainian military and foreign mercenaries were present. Seems Ukraine is out of everything, including Hope. Maybe the 2022 UK news article on Russia running out of Missiles was premature ? Negotiations on resolving the conflict in Ukraine could have started months ago, but US authorities threatened Vladimir Zelensky with withdrawal of non-military funding, US journalist and Pulitzer Prize winner Seymour Hersh said in an article on Substack.
Man, what you are doing is great and you have me as your new member subscriber. It goes to shown that Asian culture of hard work and dedication to help put foods on the table for his family. Dude is 60 yrs old if I heard correctly when you asked him and it's midnight and he's still out there with determinations
Ở VN thì bán hàng vỉa hè nó thành 1 văn hóa rồi, nên chúng ta thấy đầy đường. Nhưng trong những người bán hàng đó có người bình thường, có người nghèo nhưng cũng có những người giàu hơn nhân viên văn phòng nhiều. Nhưng ở TQ thì rất ít gặp người bán hàng rong kiểu như ông này, nhưng nếu đã gặp thì họ khổ thật. Không phải đến mức là họ đói kém nhưng ở giữa thành phố mà không có tiền thì cực kỳ áp lực. Mình cũng đã có lần gặp 1 cụ bà bán mấy quả hồng, (tức là ít hơn ông này rất nhiều, nó giống như là mấy cụ ở quê VN hái được mấy quả ở vườn ăn không hết mang đi bán được đồng nào hay đồng đó vậy), mình cũng mua ủng hộ 1 ít cho cụ về chứ 8h tối mà vẫn lọ mọ thấy khổ quá. Nhưng đáng tiếc là về không ăn được vì hồng chát quá.
Chris, you are such a😮kindhearted person. I think wherever you go, you spread love and happiness. Keep on doing what you do. Thanks for sharing. See dung love from New Mexico.
You are going to have to get used to it, because there is more of it coming. Governments are hoovering up money (expanding inflating debt) to pay for wars and other forms of corruption.
China is aware 600m still live in poverty despite lifting 800m out of abject poverty, and there's a long journey ahead. Philanthropy will not do it. Only real economic growth and equitable distribution of wealth will.

im a HSK 000000.5 student and even I noticed the Nin. Glorious.

Nhìn ông đã có tuổi rồi mà vẫn đi bán để kiếm tiền để phòng sức khỏe mình thấy rất thương. Chúc ông nhiều sức khỏe gửi tình yêu từ Việt Nam 🇻🇳
You are an incredible human being. Not just on linguistic skills but on your kind hearted love of humanity.

Thank you for your service, Sir. I escaped Vietnam in 1987 and settled in the U.S. in 1988.
Was that China? He spoke Chinese.
@@heythave No, Vietnam. Chris speaks multiple languages.
Yeah, he mentioned a city in China though.
@@heythave This is in China, they even said it in the video.
Christopher ….this is what makes you attractive ..doing good deeds like this …not because you are bi lingual …giving back to the community like this shows you have a good soul .. now that’s attractive !!!
Respect ✊🏻
Keep doing what you love doing, Chris - you are an inspiration and your kindness is evident in your videos

This is not the case in Asian countries. Many take care of their elderly
@user-vm5ud4xw6n or he just wanted to hawk to stay active

He was an honest man. No,he didn't over charge you.
the fact that you're speaking fluent Mandarin while helping the guy. awesome.
the question is, would he do it if he never had thousands of people to show his kind gesture? and knowing he will get more views and subscribers which is more money. it's better to help people in humble ways, privately.
Chris, you are a perfect example of what kindness, love and compassion is! May the universe shower you with endless blessings.

Much respect Chris. Your Mandarin is great and we already know your Vietnamese is great as well.
It was very nice of you to help someone.🙏🏻💖
God bless you, Chris! We need more people like you in this world.
Yes, it’s a good feeling for sharing the love 💗
Thank you for your kindness ❤

Chris, you're absolutely fantastic. This was such an amazing demonstration of kindness and consideration.
Thank you for representing Americans so well. ❤ your kindness is admirable. Keep touching hearts where you travel.
Tqvm for your kindness. It doesn't matter if he overcharged you because you were prepared to help him anyway. If the fruit is mangosteen, then it is definitely more expensive than local fruit. Wishing you the best.

Chris you are a good guy . May God bless you and keep you safe .
Enjoy watching your videos , from Calgary , Alberta , Canada .
We all grateful to your kindness
Chris you are a great representative of how us Americans really are. Our government, and media really ruin it for us.

he didn;t over charge you. omg
Your Chinese is so good!!!
Chris, you have such a good heart. Love from the USA
Came across this today and you got another subscriber, thank you
The subtitles weren’t very clear so just letting everyone know that the old man originally said the total was ‘more than 400 yuan’
Well he said around 400, then he decided to increase the price after he realized Chris was going to clean him out.
The old man did overcharge you. How awful he was! He didn’t deserve your kindnesses! Anyway, as always I hope that you are safe and happy for your future trip!❤️
The is way overpriced considering hes an illegal fruit seller
Great stuff. Whatever I'm blessed with I then use that blessing to bless others.
Bless him for doing this
RESPECT!
Blessings to you.
Charity never fails.
Thank you Chris for your goid deeds wherever you are ❤️
您的人太好了,好心自有好報！
Respect, and respect to your mandarin as well
You are a good man Chris Lewis.
you are an inspiration Chris....wishing nothing but the best for you!
I subscribed after watching this video. Keep up the good content.
There are good and bad people everywhere in China or Vietnam. That fruit seller is really honest
how do you know by one video? don't be naive. that being said, most Chinese are honest.
Hello Chris ! You are a very cute and smart RUclipsr.. you are kind friendly too. I really enjoy your videoes. Big love and hug from Nepal ..❤❤❤🙏🙏
You are in essence a true Embassador from the United States.
Thank you for representing us in such a beautiful way. 🌷❤🌷
subscribed liked .. thx you for being so nice !
Always love your videos, so thoughtful to help that elderly man. I hope that any extra money that you gave went towards something he truly needed. Thank you for sharing 😊
I like fruit too. But, that cake at 0:06 looks like quite a meal as well.
Funny how when Chris tried to give the old guy the longan(?) to eat, the old guy's like no thank, I have better ones at home. LOL!
Awesome! That is the true American Spirit...Following the Golden Rule.🙏
Chris, (LOVE FROM PAKISTAN), I am following you from your Pakistan days, and you really are a kind soul and very different from other tourist to learn the language of area first and get to the people on personal level and bargain for higher prices or buy something you don't even need. Keep it going you have a long way to go and flourish due to your authenticity.
There is a maxim that says this : My wealth is only that which I have given. Good going ,Dawg!
I’m impressed Lewis your mandarin is so good
Very very good
3:36 greedy man

Ah I love you young man! ❤❤❤
I would have given a bit more just to help him out a bit. Even if he did or did not overcharge.
Chris I like watching hour video's, but stop putting so much in your mouth and talking at the same time that's disgusting
Đỉnh vậy trời , nói Tiếng Việt , Tiếng Trung , Tiếng Anh

Dude, your accent is basically indistinguishable from a chinese person, spot on!
What a Great man.👍
You dare come to China after they passed the anti-espionage law? I won’t even breathe the air there! 😳😱
Chris, you are such a😮kindhearted person. I think wherever you go, you spread love and happiness. Keep on doing what you do. Thanks for sharing. See dung love from New Mexico.
Give him the money and let him keep the fruit to sell tomorrow
Respect....It breaks my heart seeing elderly still doing hard labor just trying to survive.
You are going to have to get used to it, because there is more of it coming. Governments are hoovering up money (expanding inflating debt) to pay for wars and other forms of corruption.
That’s pretty cheap. I would pay $100 for all that. So expensive here in the US the mangosteen.
