I'm so grateful you as a Chinese American always embrace Chinese culture. Thank you Weylie! Your video makes me miss home so much. Love you!
Sissi liang 你很棒
我們在香港，都係來自廣州，好開心能聽到如此重廣州音的廣州話！
聽你阿婆一開始講嘢既時候就覺得好有熟悉既感覺，原來都係廣州人。我爸爸近年經常話聽啲係外國翻黎既舊同學話羨慕宜家國內既老人政策，我原本都唔係好信。
不過見到你長輩咁錫你，後生時候雖然咁辛苦，老左都可以有好既居住環境，孫女又生活得好，係外國生活都唔完全係苦。
我英文唔係好掂，只可以用中文留言。
支持你
真的! 我不知道是不是我的错觉，不过感觉上香港和广州说的广东话略有不同。我常常会哪家里人说的广东话和港剧上说的来比较，甚至开始怀疑家里说的是不是正宗的广东话 。后来我妈告诉我，咱们广东人说话和咬字的方式不怎么一样。看了 weylie 和婆婆的对话后我发现到我家里长辈说话的方式其实和weylie婆婆的几乎相似!
@@ppaperstars 广州人讲野有亲切感好多
香港年轻一代懒音太多 老一代的广东人讲话都差不多
@@hao5868 宜家广州年轻人讲粤语差咗好多
00后吧。。我们小时候还讲，现在听说很多家长都不教了。。我搬到深圳白话以后飞速退步😂😂
好開心聽到好多廣東語(*¯︶¯*)
有种亲切感吧。哈哈
Senhor como entende isso
This reminds me so much to be more intentional about how I spend my time with my elders. It’s so easy to take our time for granted and expect them to be there forever. I feel like I barely know much about them so I definitely needed this
this is such an original and cool idea! honestly serving quality content
Aww this made me tear up because I have similar conversations with my parents and grandparents about their experience coming to America from Guangzhou. It makes you appreciate life and family so much because of their hard sacrifices. Just watching and being able to understand your conversation I’m Cantonese made it that much more special ❤️ thanks for sharing this Weylie!
Just seeing the word "grandma" makes me miss her so much. Cannot believe it's been an year she passed away..
ps.Thanks for sharing this beautiful memory with your grandma❤
SoulofSol - Hansol 😕 my grandma passed away this year. I missed her so dearly
So sorry for your loss. She's in a better place watching over you now! Keep your head up
This was so beautiful! Made me miss my grandma so much. She's been gone for 18 years.
Such a soothing video♥️ makes me think of times when I go back home (Beijing) during long breaks and I’d talk with my grandma at breakfast and she inspires me so so much. She probably doesn’t even realize how big of a influence she is to me bc her stories are just her life experiences, but to me they are life changing lessons. Like how she values education when I complain about heavy loads of schoolwork. She didn’t get to finish high school bc of the culture revolution but she always manages to learn on her own. It’s just so inspiring and this video reminds me of the those good times I spent with her:) thank you so much weylie I love all your videos so so much♥️♥️♥️
Awww this made my heart so warm & fuzzy. There is so much to learn from our elders! So happy for you that you shared those moments with your grandma :)
捉到一只della
Haven’t even watched yet, but I already know I’m going to cry 😭😭 love you so much girl!
I feel as if I'm talking to my grandma through this video. The canto and how similar our backgrounds are makes this feel so personal. (My grandparents are also from Guangzhou!) Thank you so much for doing this video :')
What an honest and interesting sharing by your grandmother! Yup she is a lovely lady! I agree - Guangzhou in China is AMAZING now.
i remember in one of your videos you mentioned that you would just put on either bubz or itsjudytime while you do things around
the house or get ready because its therapeutic to watch. well, i just wanted to say that your videos do the same thing for me. on
some days it even replaces my daily dose of TVB (and thats saying a lot because i am such a tvb fan). i just love your videos and
the homey vibes they give. love you and what you do, how in touch with your roots you try to be, how authentic and not caught up
in the social media game/appearance you are, and how you make me feel okay accepting the fact that im a chinese american
female in the US.
Omg same❤
awww thank you for this kind comment!! I'm so glad my videos make you happy. Thank you for your continued support sista! love you :)
My Poh Poh is also from Guangzhou and there are so many resemblance between yours and mine! I grew up with my Poh Poh taking care of me since my parents were very poor when they immigrated and had to work multiple jobs. This video brought me to tears as I recall all the fond memories growing up. Thank you Weylie
It is so lovely when I see you ladies are chatting in fluent Cantonese.
Happy that you ladies are having a lovely life.
When I watch RUclips I never hear people speak my family's language so it is nice to here it thanks Weylie
This video is so so comforting. It reminds me so much of me and my grandparents. I was raised by my grandparent, but I've already lost them longer than the time I had with them. Their faces are even getting a little bit blurry when I think of them. There're for sure some things happened in my childhood I'll never forget. The look on their faces. The way they talked. All in all, part of the reasons that I'm the person I am right now is because of them. I think no matter how long it goes, I'll always feel like they are looking after me at somewhere I can't see.
You speak very good cantonese considering you live in US for so long!!
My family is also from Guangzhou lol listening to Guangzhou style canto makes me so happy!
I love talking to my mom about how her life was when she first came to America! I did with my dad but he passed away in 2010. Even though some of the stories are repeats, it's amazing to hear how they went thru the struggles compared to now. I live 4hrs away from my family, and when I see them for just 1 weekend, I feel so at home. ❤❤❤
I saw your grandma at Napoleon at the Oakland Chinatown before! 😂 love the grandma and granddaughter relationship you guys have! Makes me miss my grandma
Aww such a heart warming video of you and your grandma! It made me miss my grandma so much. She’s been gone for a year now and I miss dearly! Always cherish these kind of moments. Grandma’s are precious!
I am extremely blessed to still have both my grandmas, but this video made me tear up just thinking about how much I miss them/ will miss them. Time is so precious. Thank you for sharing this ♥︎
My grandma passed away 2 months ago and watching the interaction between you and your grandma makes me miss her so much! (Especially when you are speaking Cantonese! I'm from HK.) When I was small she used to buy me pineapple buns and cooking noodles with eggs for me too. We always watched HK news on the couch together after every meal. Being around her also gave me positivity and she was also that kind of traditional "happy and cute and caring poh poh". Thanks for sharing this happy chat with your grandma, that's heartwarming and memorable :)
I wish my grandma was still alive... this is such a heartwarming video 💖
your Grandma is such a cutie 💕
She is!! I need to show you guys more of my grandpa too. He is obsessed with her. haha
Your relationship with your grandma reminds me so much of mine with my grandma❤️ I miss her so much, spend as much time as you can with her!!
All your interactions with your grandma are so heartwarming
this hits so close to home. although my grandparents were already retired by the time they came here, they sought every opportunity to continue working in the states even though it was extremely hard for them to adjust to the new culture. when i was younger, my grandparents would always tell me about their journey coming to America. of course i was too naive to understand it at the time. but this past summer i was fortunate enough to go back to China with my grandparents to see where they grew up and their lifestyle. when we went to China, we would go out, shop, buy groceries, interact with people on the streets. i have never seen my grandparents so genuinely happy. it got me thinking how beyond grateful i am that my grandparents sacrificed everything to start a new life in America in order for my parents and i to live a better and happier life.
I love when you do videos in Cantonese! Please do more ❤️
Yes I agree!!!
Mee too
yes pls do this
Hey Weylie, thank you for this quality content and for sharing your personal moments like these with us! It doesn't matter what kind of videos you choose to put out because as long as you feel that its something you like and you're comfortable with it, I'm sure us viewers will be more than happy to support you! ^_^ Love you Weylie!
I have a feeling I am going to tear up while watching this. You’ve inspired me to have a chat with my grandma too! 💕
Omg my mom, grandma and I also say ‘ding yat ding koi’ hahaha. I just lost both my grandma this year... and I found a lot of comfort in this video. Reminded me of all the good times with my grandmas. Thank you, Weylie.
You are awesome! You speak very good Cantonese even though you have been living in the US. You also embrace Chinese culture so much! Proud of you!
I love the relationship you have with your grandma ❤️ Watching this video makes me miss my grandma 😢
Hi Weylie! You've been traveling so much recently and I was wondering if you could make a video on navigating through an airport and your tips! I've always wanted to travel but every time I'm hesitant because I won't know my way around especially by myself! The process of checking in (?) to security to the gates is hazy to me. Thanks, love ya!
Awww I cried. She’s adorable! I miss my Yein Yein so much - she passed away when I was in college and took care of me growing up all the way til adulthood and was the sweetest nicest lady. She also immigrated to America with my Yeh Yeh from Southern China had nothing, didn’t know English - started from the bottom! Best stories are from the heart and how they paved the way to our generation. Great video Weylie! I also enjoyed the Canto!
I asked about my grandparents history a lot, i love listenting to their stories. They had a lot of stories from the wars, how my grandpa changed identities and how my great grandma smuggled goods during the war with japan. Im grateful i got to know my great grandma before she died, and spending as much time with my current grandparents as I can. They all raised me!
My family is also from Grangzhou. My dad on his deathbed admitted his life regret was immigrating his family (his wife and baby me) to the US. Like your grandma, they would have had everything - a house, retirement, better standard of living, healthcare if they stayed there. They suffered so much for me but the US never treated them well and he never achieved the American Dream. Really heartbreaking actually.
Often times, Chinese parents make sacrifices so that their children could have a better life. Hopefully, their children will be grateful and treat them with loving kindness.
Don’t be sad. Most people are living an ordinary life. What is more important is that families are staying together and enjoying every minute together wherever you are.
Life was not easy in china before 1990s so it was a good choice to move to USA before 1990s. Now china is better and it might not be bad not to immigrate to other countries. East and west home is the best.
Awww you and your grandma are so adorable. ❤️
Hi, I am from Guangzhou too. Nice to watch your videos. Love the way you talked to family. All the best.
I cried when you all were singing happy birthday to your mom and sister. I would love to reconnect with my family and be happy like that again.
I know you have had struggles with your mom in particular. How were you able to move past those issues and be in a good place with her again?
Love always 💗
Weylie, I love you! You've grown so much and this has got to be one of my favorite videos because I'm a first-gen immigrant and I could so relate to your grandma. We came here . together with my parents and they hated days here, which was why they left when I turned 18. I felt so connected to this entire video and the nostalgia and you speaking Cantonese, along with your pride in our culture, made me so happy. Keep being you and spreading the positivity!
OMG! I missed my grandma so much. I actually went back to China last summer, and she also told me her hardship when she moved from the countryside to the city with my grandpa. I feel all the grandmas in the world are the best, kindest and cutest people!❤️👵🏻
Your sweet grandma reminds of my mother so much. She was a great cook too. It’s been two years since she’s gone. I miss her everyday.
Your grandma is SOO cute I get so happy whenever I watch ur vids with her.. pls go visit her more often like she said in the end .. she seemed so happy to see you!!
I am from Guangzhou!! So moved to hear all of words from your grandma.
我都系广州人，听到你婆婆讲话好亲切啊，很怀念婆婆
I have thought your family was moved from H. K. , actually you literally came from Guangzhou. That is awesome. Thumbs up.
I barely comment but I have to tell you that this video made me so warm and I started to miss my grandparents so badly. Thank you for being inspiring. Love from Taiwan.
That bun sounds like an Ensaimada. They should be available at a Spanish or Filipino bakery.
BAWLING MY EYES right now watching this video! I lost my best friend my grandmother at a young age and she was my best friend my diary, my everything! I imagine if she was alive I would have interactions like you have with your grandma!!! I love you weylie and thanks for showing this part in your vlogs!
Every single time you hang out with your family, I pause the video and we chat to my parents to see what they are up to. Really makes me appreciate them more 💕
WEYLIE!! please make more videos like this! It's so exciting to see you and your grandma speaking canto together! I remember the times when my great-grandmother and I spent together (great-grandparents raised me). Plus, I'm learning some canto because of you!
Weylie, I loved this video! Such an intimate and personal video in my opinion. It’s definitely heart warming to see you with your family! Thanks for always sharing every aspect of your life with us in the most honest and sincere way! Always a joy to watch your videos! ❤️
your sweet relationship with your grandma reminds me of both my loving grandmas
these are the types of videos that we will truly cherish when our loved ones are no longer around. 🧡
Aw this is the cutest! Makes me miss my grandma, she past a while ago when I was 9. Didn’t have much conversations with her since I was so young but I’m so grateful that she took care of me when I was little while my parents worked & she was the one that wanted to coming over to the US from HK 💕
a best friend like your grandma is all i need in life
小姐姐，看到你们那么快乐，真好。祝奶奶健康长寿，小姐姐一家幸福开心
Watching your video reminds me of my two grandmas. Growing up 2nd gen cantonese-american, you know that there was always a struggle making ends meet. Now that I'm seeing my parents getting older, it touches me that they moved to America for a better life. I wish I could ask both my grandparents what it was like back in the days before moving to Hawaii, sadly my grandma died when I was 4 and my other grandma has had multiple heart surgeries and stroke that it's been hard to speak to her. My grandpa died of lung cancer and my other grandpa died of old age, but it was always a joy hearing stories of them back in Hong Kong/Guangzhou.
Watching this reminds me of my Grandma that has passed away this year, she never gets angry to me too, she always caring and lovable too, eventhou she doesn't have that "good" relationship with my mom, they always argued, but to me she seems understanding. The sad thing is i live in different country with her, so hard to not have those moments often, so precious your moments with her.
This video makes me feel so warm weylie. Thank you for sharing. I miss the family times I had back in the day. My parents are here by my side anymore and having cooked meals once you're awake or back home is such a great memory. So I cried a bit while watching this video, at the same time warming. It's happiness and missing my parents by my side. Thank you weylie again to remind me of a cherishable memory
omg this video gave me so many feels! My family is also from guangzhou although I moved here with my parents about 14 years ago. I'm also from norcal and am living in LA now so hearing canto really makes me miss home. Your canto is soooo good! Also, i know exactly know you're referring to about those buns! I've never found them anywhere else except at the Napoleon bakery in oakland chinatown. Please share them in the vlogs if you end up finding them elsewhere!! Also, those dishes look so yummy. the gua with the vermicelli is what my parents make at home too!
it really tears me up. Living alone at a foreign country and trying to start a new life is super hard (at least for me).I really hope in the future I could talk with my grandkids about my past like your kindly grandmother does
Soooo heartwarming
Thank you for sharing your time with your grandma, I’ve never knew my grandparents from both sides and always had this feeling in me that felt I was missing something. Whenever my friends always talked about their grandparents I felt jealous because I didn’t knew mine.
When your grandma told about her hardships it reminded me of my moms, she also had an very hard time when she came to The Netherlands. And all she wants for us to have a wonderfull future without hardships like she had to go through. ❤️
啊啊啊原来是广州人！讲的是正宗的粤语~广州人支持你！
广州话可以和其他广东话很明显的差别吗？
商务舱机票5到8折 没有..其实就跟各地普通话一样一些用词不同而已.基本都一样.
@@听说-x5l 那你就不瞭解廣東話了，廣州和別的地方的廣東話有些根本交流不了，口音各有別
Joyce K 是么？口音肯定是有的.但基本还是能交流的.
Joyce K 交流不了？R U kidding me
Thank you for sharing your daily life ,I am from Hong Kong and feel so intimacy and happy you can speak Cantonese which is my first language.And One hilarious things is I sent the photo of Mexican bread to my sister before I came to Mexico.I went there and I found and knew bread in supermarket and I usually eat tacos,pizza and fast food there and few times to eat that bread.People in there usually said tacos represent their food culture 感謝您分享您的日常生活,我來自香港，感到如此親切和快樂，您可以說廣東話，這是我的第一語言。一個熱鬧的事情是我在來墨西哥之前將墨西哥麵包的照片發送給我的妹妹。 我去了那裡，我在超市裡發現並知道麵包，我經常在那裡吃炸玉米餅，比薩餅和快餐，幾次吃那種麵包,那裡的人通常說炸玉米餅代表他們的飲食文化
I love watching you and your grandma interact! She honestly is the sweetest. So loving!
i absolutely love love loved this video. i grew up not speaking much cantonese so I didn't feel as close to my grandma. but hearing you speak canto and hearing what your grandma says about her history felt really close to home. thank you
It’s so sweet that grandma can remember every granddaughter’s favorite bun❤️
you grandma sounds really intelligent, like she’s wise and knows how to piece her thoughts into words.
i really admire wise grandparents sigh
it makes me miss my grandparents. all of them have passed....
this video made me feel so nolstalgic im tearing up
thank you for this vlog
i could watch it over and over again really... :’)
As I'm not Chinese, I was so focused on the translations haha, thanks so much for including those! 💕 Btw your grandma is such a beautiful person, you too ofcourse
I did this with my granny :) I recorded her and asked her questions about her life and for her to share her wisdom. It's such a nice video that I'll have forever. Grannys are the best 😍
grandma rocks!
spend more time with her. i wish my grandparents were still around but they're not as cool as your grandma. lucky weylie 💕
This video made me sooo emotional because i miss my grandma so much, i miss her food, miss her talks, her laugh i can't wait to see her on christmas ❤️
Aftrr this video’s I started to miss my own grandma :( i haven’t seen her in real life for over 4 years and I just think that it’s so nice that you have this kind of relationship with her. I know a lot of friends of mine haven’t seen their grandparents in a very long time. It’s truly amazing to see the relationship that you two have ❤️
the canto and your grandma and how nice everything was made me tear up and miss home omg, thank you so much for this i needed it since i'm in college now and away from the bay...you should do these kinds of videos more often!!
This video deserves all the love in the world. This was such a sweet video that was so simple but so meaningful and beautiful. It truly made me appreciate all my parents went through as immigrants who can from South Korea, leaving their whole family behind, in order for my sister and I to have a better life. This video helped me to realize that I need to always show my appreciation for them and enjoy the little things ❤️❤️
I used to ask everything about my grandma (popo) I love having small talks with her and every thing had happened the first person I talk to will be my grandma.. she used to give me advised and make me think positive.. few years back she get alzheimer and she barely remember anything.. she will talk all those old stuff and not every time she will recognize me or remember my name.. when she did I felt so happy. Even though she don't remember me but she knows that I'm close to her... Everytime I meet her she will touch my hair and talk with me..she left a good memories for me whenever when I was a kid.. although she not here now.. but I'm glad to see people that really close with that grandparents..do appreciate every moment with them❤️
I wish I had the chance to ask my grandparents all these things. I wonder if they would say similar things.. All of my grandparents are gone.. and I was too young back then to know much about life to ask these questions. This made me feel nostalgic. It was really endearing to hear and see your interactions and relationship with your grandma. :)
Weylie's relationship with her grandma is soooo cute 💕💕
I am also from guangzhou , is really nice to hear cantonese , btw your grandma she's super cute .
Your grandma’s accent is like Hongkonger but yours like people in Guangzhou or the way people spoke in 1930s -1960s
I liked this video before watching the video❤️❤️❤️ you & your grandma are the cutest...
Omg grandma even remembers what buns yall liked to eat when you were little. Can i cry? 😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️

Such a heartwarming video
Your grandmother is so precious 💙
Hi Weylie~I have been watching your videos faithfully for many years, but this is my first comment. I have always enjoyed your pleasant personality, great sense of humor and of course the amazing story telling gift. But recently, you sort of added this sophisticated and mature layer onto your already great self, and wow it looks good on you! I love that you are trying to find your true self in this crazy (youtube) world, and always want to improve. Can't wait to see where the future takes you. I'm sure no matter what you do, it will be something you truly love. This video is just beautiful. Makes me miss my grandma and her food so much. Thank you!
Ur grandma is so cute! Even I have grown up, I still dine with my grandma once or twice a week.
