Anming, I was so happy to see you well, beautiful as ever, and seemingly happy too! I'm so happy you got to collab with JJ, as I have always enjoyed her energy and spirit and she always seemed super skilled at Chinese. You are both humble and I thank you so much for all of the hard work you put in to bring us such wonderful content to expand our minds and our borders...love ya!
As a Chinese American living in New York City, I was part of the HKers diaspora escaping the Chinese Communist Party regime before the handover. Taiwan is a democracy similar to ours. The CCP regime in China is a totalitarian regime and they are our enemy. Right now, China is destroying the rule of law established by the British in Hong Kong as I feared. We as Americans can't be silent and acquiescent to the blatant violation of human rights in China whatever economic gains you get from China. “If I were to remain silent, I'd be guilty of complicity.” ― Albert Einstein
Thanks for the wonderful chat, Anming! We seriously need to do an in person collab when borders are finally opened again! And thanks to everyone watching for your support! We hope you enjoyed our discussion! 💕🙌
JJ, I was so happy to see you working with my friend, Anming! I have been a fan of yours ever since I've since you on Xiaoma's channel over a year ago. You and Anming are both so humble, but both so damn skilled at Chinese- it just blows my mind. I am a native Texan (Dallas) and speak English, Russian, Czech, German, and Spanish. Russian and Czech are such difficult languages, but to me, Chinese and Arabic seem like they would be even harder to learn - I guess its all a matter of perspective. You ladies are language heroes to me and encourage me to keep up my studies in the languages I know and I hope to one day speak over a dozen language fluently (my ultimate goal). Thanks for being amazing and being so nice to my friend Anming!
I, an original Chinese, went to college in Japan, now live in Canada, want to say a sincere thank you to you all for being bridges between Chinese, Japanese and North Americans.
You two are very well spoken, honest, and intelligent. I appreciated a lot of the points made in this video. It’s fantastic to see educators with such passion.
I can relate this video 🤧 Though I am an Indian, I also love China . Many people ask me why do you love China . They don't understand how much I like Chinese culture and language .
I was surprised how similar their experiences were to my Russian experience. Apparently I'm a Putin puppet, because I like Russia, speak fluent Russian and have lived in Moscow for many years.
sometimes you need to immerse yourself in another culture and language to be able to see your own culture from a completely new viewpoint and truly understand yourself and your culture.
That is so true! I spent a couple of years in Germany in the 90s, and I think I learned as much about my own country, the US, as I did about Germany. It goes hand in hand.
I’ve loved the Chinese culture since I was a small child. Once a month we would have a family dinner in Chinatown, and now Chinese food is my favorite, especially the Szechuan style of mala cooking. There’s good and bad in every country, but if we looked at all the good more often the bad would diminish.
This motivates me to learn Mandarin even more...I'm currently learning Mandarin...I have my motivation but now I even have more motivation. Thank you ~
As an American I understand our need for individuality. But the U.S. makes up less than 5% of this beautiful world we all share! Knowledge and understanding of diveristy in other countries, cultures and ideologies brings us all closer together. It’s so important. Thank you Anming and JJ. Very appreciated😊
Love your videos. Thank you for posting. I’m Australian and studied Chinese at Uni and then spent a year in Taiwan living with a local family. It was the best experience for a young student and taught me so much about other cultures and languages. I loved learning Mandarin (and a little bit of Taiwan hua) and I found your observations so interesting yet scary about why people think you’ve abandoned your mother country - you’re so right - you can appreciate another culture and country without having to “become it” !
@@OrientalPearl As a Chinese American living in New York City who speaks Mandarin and two other Chinese dialects and studied Chinese history, I know ‘we’ have a lot in common with the Chinese people in China. Just like “us”, they deserve human rights, democracy and freedom no less than “us” in America and Australia.
“Not becoming it” is one thing. Wilfully turning a blind eye to injustice while enjoying economic benefits there is a real issue. “Silence is complicity” as Albert Einstein famously said about Germany.
@@nycsimon2024 A lot of Americans go to China with different purposes other than making money. Many of my colleagues were full-time Christian missionaries. They didn’t do it for the money.
@@OrientalPearl Bless their hearts. I pray for these brave missionaries. Billy Graham and his wife were once in China spreading the gospel too. Nowadays the churches in China are strictly controlled by the CCP and those family churches that do not conform are persecuted. These news are on the internet despite censorship if you care to look for them.
When I was in Japan, the Japanese females were so courteous towards me, it made me uncomfortable and eventually getting used to it. Then when I returned to NA, I missed the special treatment.
@@TheYesterdays Great! What is your native language - English? If you need any help, I use the app they mentioned - hellotalk, so if you need any help with Portuguese let me know. 😀
She looks like a spy! Only a spy would put Christmas lights in November! I bet she listens to jingles as well! Traitor... I hit the like button again when you told me to. See, it actually works :) P.S: JJ, your gestures make the camera go out of focus. Hands on your knees ;)
@@OrientalPearl so that’s mean I’m spy cause I have my Christmas and Halloween lights all the entire year and of course on my room only and also playing seasonal carol music all year lol 😂
I agree with your view on the people and culture versus politics and policies. Thank you! I’m an old retired American. I love what you and JJ are doing. I will spread the word! Thank you!
Learning a foreign language is never easy. Without the environment and time, it is extremely difficult to achieve proficiency. Both ladies had been in China for a number of years and have the great interest in the language. Its amazing to see them interact that way.
You both smart girls are happy to learn and accept Chinese culture，language , food and all sort of things . Sharing all the true things / stories about China . Thanks for sharing:)
Hi Ms. Pearl, Wow I truly enjoyed this video. It really made me feel good to see & hear you to ladies say what you did. I was so proud of you both. I'm near 70y.o. & it makes my heart glad to see that all is not lost with youth such as you two. I've only discovered you (2) in the last couple of day's thru a video you made with Xiamanye (in N.Y.) Hence I tagged onto you thru him, & JJsay's thru you. I"m amazed @ the courage you took locating to China; my hat's off to you. I wished I could speak every language so I also could break down the barrier's that we people have. God love all of you people who create content like this. Thank you so much for expanding my knowledge. Have a blessed day!! Illinois, USA
I come to this a year late but, you two rock! You make excellent points in a very cogent manner! I agree totally. People like you two only promote harmony and how can that be a bad thing? I'm really quite jealous, I have no talent for languages at all except my own. Tried to learn French and when in France, people I spoke to always answered in English because I was so terrible! Lol They really appreciated the effort though and I did have great experiences. So, to anyone who's nervous, don't be. The fact you try, even if like me you fail miserably, you'll still be better thought of!
I remember getting a similar reaction from my Grandma when I first decided to move abroad to Japan. She'd grown up during the second world war so she had Japan = bad in her head ever since and thought it would be dangerous. It was interesting getting her to visit before she passed away and she actually really enjoyed it, probably healed some old prejudices and stereotypes she had from way back. People tend to have an idea in their head about a country and also feel you can only be part of one country and culture. I'm very proud of being English and that culture, I also enjoy being part of Japanese culture. There are plenty of things I like and dislike about living in either country and didn't leave England because I hated it or had no friends or whatever. I think I'm like most people and just hit a point where I felt if I don't go experience what's out there soon I never will. Seeing life from other perspectives is a really good thing. There are probably plenty of negative China RUclipsrs as much as there are Japan ones. I grew tired of English speaking RUclipsrs in Japan for a long time because they were either miserable or just batshit crazy, only so much negativity you can take before you're asking "If you hate it why not leave?" but they never want to. I guess it's more because negativity and sensationalism gets more views lol. As far as stereotypes and people questioning you're a spy or being paid by the Chinese government, I guess you didn't help matters by showing footage of yourself in university doing a presentation on how evil American media is and how they are wrong about China lol, even I laughed a little at that. I guess if you're a positive person and don't act like all these super negative expats people make assumptions that you're a shill.
I think a large part of the problem is that there are two types of people. Those that have no interest in travel, or just travel in the manner that is basically the same as the life bubble they were raised in. The others want to travel and experience the true culture including the language of other parts of the world. The media tends to highlight disputes between governments which colors the knowledge that those who have never traveled to those countries. They understand that they are different unique individuals, but view others as basically monolithic clones who are all identical. It makes it easy to have flawed ideas of what is like to live in a different country. This is not a limited to North Americans but to a lesser extent every different environment. This is no different that an individual who was raised and lived in an urban environment and one living and raised in rural Wyoming or Montana. Their views of the life are formed by the images presented in the media, and not real world experience. When you add the learning of a language that is not directly related to their day to day existence it increases the skepticism. Why are you learning Japanese? What good will it do you? Are you going to live in Japan? What's the point? When I say I find the language unique, challenging and fun to learn, some just can't comprehend that type of thought process. The But Why's just never end because the general idea is just such a foreign concept, that it holds little or no interest to them, so their must be something wrong with you. There must be hidden, unstated reasons why anyone would engage in this sort of endeavor. Another thought provoking video.
I love the subtle dig to seprentza 🤣 I'm not chinese but it is obvious he has some sort of negative bias against chinese people, as almost all of his videos are about bashing china.
Hello, I am very recent on your channel. I love your videos! I just want to say thank you, first!! They help a lot! Please, please don't be self-conscious with "haters" on line. All humans are primal creatures, no offense, but it's true. 🙂 Most people are very afraid of things, that they don't understand, since the Stone Age era. When we are afraid of something the first reaction is to defence ourselves. Unfortunately, most of the time it happens through anger or frustration, which is sad in the 21st century. Happy filming!
Hey Anming! I'm a French Canadian trying to learn Mandarin. I had a class on Sunday and we used your video in the class. My teacher said your Mandarin is pretty much at the level of a native speaker! I knew your Mandarin was awesome but I didn't expect a native speaker say you sound native!!!
@@OrientalPearl Nice! I have a feeling YOUR video, unlike all the other linguistic youtubers, will not be a "buy my learning program" video, but rather an actual language learning tips video! :)
Thank you both for such refreshing views that the world so desperately needs. It shows that living and studying abroad will expand and broaden one’s view of different cultures and promote understanding amongst people. Your battle against the tide of negativity towards the familiar is indeed inspiring. Your songs and videos are so unique, a stimulating breath of fresh air, encouraging hope and tolerance in this world
These videos are normally done split-screen format. But to make your subtitles more readable you did it this way. Very thoughtful of you. Great enjoyable discussion!
Yeah, I tried to take the same approach that my friend Matt vs Japan used. His way it doesn’t look like we are interrupting each other and talking over each other.
@@OrientalPearl Oh, but I know some Australian learn Mandarin , Cantonese and Japanese. I believe understand other culture is strength rather than weakness.
@@jeremyemilio9378 It might not be the official language of more than a couple places (Mainland China, Taiwan, and Singapore) but it’s now one of the top 10 most studied foreign languages in the world.
14:30 I got the same feeling too. When I was in my graduate class in California, as I was the only foreigner and Chinese guy in the class, my professors often asked for my opinion on certain topics too. Yeah, I got a lot of attention.
I been cheating on you been watching JJ seduced by her singing along with her amazing mom. You are still my favorite Pearl and always will be. Forgive me.
Volia,once again, i encounter you under the drawing of the RUclips's algorithm from the near-furture on 30th, november,2021 as a native Chinese in mainland,as is the same way the first time met you here,keying in my commentary here the second time in english version,still can't help but outpouring my passion about your passion about the sinological culture on the premise of my prediction about your American-Japanese marriage in the future,for what it's worth, i am immensely pround of the commonplace in the my culture could be shared and resonated with you and like-minded people like you and, i'll follow you and stay tuned for your channel as it always be.By the way, the winter is approaching and the telltale sign of which is obvious ,stay hydrated and stay warm,please!!! Joshua
Anming don’t stop with Chinese and Japanese....you can master Korean too...,especially with your experience with those two. Even though they are linguistically unrelated, they have so much in common that they can pave the way for Korean, both written and spoken. Written Korean, with its 24 letter alphabet, would be apiece of cake for you. In a matter of hours, not days, you would get a handle on it, some pronunciation hurdles not withstanding. Sentence word order is the same as Japanese, with a little more emphasis on honorifics. No question that this third fascinating language would round out and enrich your East Asian experience.
Wow, I was literally planning to write a comment in the next vid to come out that you should collab with JJsays. Hopefully you can meet up in New York sometime.
Its refreshing to see 2 beautiful and smart women having a opened mind! Too many people nowadays think you have to pick a side with every topic, which is frustrating as though they're only using half their brain! Much respect to you 2 wonderful ladies and hope to see more of your contents!
You guys give a inspiration to start learning Chinese and Japanese as a third and fourth language cause I already know Spanish my main language and now I speak as best it’s possible English since 2008 when I move here USA 🇺🇸. Other than English and my own language Japanese and Chinese are that one of the most I’m really interesting to learn speak and write. Bravo for the great nicely live discussion you guys have was beyond amazing 😻
What I realized at 18:45 was, I would like you both have some statement about the #passportbros discussions.. You cant believe the hate one gets currently when having an asian girlfriend.. I am so happy that I am able to move to SE asia soon.. As a westerner, this was the first time I experienced that racial based hate really - and it came from my own kin, so to say. As you have an asian boyfriend as well, I think you have some strong opionions about the current discussion
This is so coooollll🔥🔥 Rarely do we see an American speaking good about China. Hope you become an ambassador for China to America and other western countries and thaw the hatred away. Wo ai ni Amning ❤️
With respect, when China embraces democratic reform, respect human rights, and stop their aggression towards Taiwan and in the South Sea, the free world will welcome China naturally, no need for any ambassadors or 大外宣.
@@nycsimon2024 with respect, in your mind China is evil by default and hence, he is always the bad guy in every conflict. Have you even considered for once that China "may" have legitimate claims in their disputes with others? The South China Sea for instance, some of the documents China presented in the court ruling pre-dates human settlement in many of the other claimant countries. Have you tried seeing from their perspective? Talking of aggression, America is the one pursuing military alliance in Asia with one purpose alone: annihilate China; not China in North America. The issue is not that China is often misunderstood In America but instead Americans do not want to see the good in China. China is far from perfect and need reforms for sure. But it is by no means an embodiment of evil and neither is America a land of holies.
@@janglalgoupiak1891 The ideological differences between China and the free world is “the elephant in the room”. This is about human rights, democracy and freedom. Those values are enshrined in our Constitution. Chinese propaganda tries to sweep these values under the carpet and only talk about economic prosperity and the same old “mutual benefit” narrative. This pandemic proves that this doesn’t work either. What China did in China is affecting the whole world.
Most people don't realise international trading keeps moving between the West and East. Asian people invest in Western products and Western people buy Eastern products and made in China like consoles, iphones, macbooks, pc parts etc. A modern car most of the parts are from all over the world. If you go to a grocery store most foods are from different countries. People are always supporting each others country without realising it. Sometimes i like mcdonalds, burger king, but i like kfc the best. There is the real KFC, McDonalds in China, so don't worry about that :3
Haha you two trying outflex the other's mandarin. On a serious note. I have been following your channel almost since the beginning and I have to say how amazing it is how you and the channel have grown. Back then you were on 13k subs and I remember you worrying about how you were going to reach out to more viewers but look at you now!. You kept with it and now you are on 134k
I already know who you both are but really appreciate the introduction you both gave. I feel I've learned more about you both. I love how your both switching languages so smoothly. I hope you do videos when you get back home to China and show us the beauty of that country too.
I really wanna go to Taïwan, personnaly, one day ! There are good videos on Asian Boss channel about what chinese people think about democracy, and so on
@@EricWood42 I guess she talked about SerpentZA, could also be that she had Chris Chappell from China Uncensored on her mind, but "I show you China how it really is" is Winstons quote
I am a white guy born in New York probably 15 years older than these two. Had the luck to learn Mandarin & Cantonese by doing in Chinatown - never studied and then lived 20 years in China and Hong Kong. That made my whole life what it is now and those are great countries. The politics are unfortunate but the people and opportunities are amazing. People said there is gold in the streets of New York. The gold was in China. The ice sculptures in Harbin are amazing and great skiing there at Yabuli!.
@@OrientalPearl it is a very nice ski resort with closed gondola so you can warm up while you are going back up the mountain. Despite the temperatures are like -15 as long as its not windy its fine...
I love this! You guys are great and both have amazing Chinese levels! As someone who makes street interview videos about China, I am hoping to never get accused of being like a Chinese spy or something, like a shill for the government! IDK, I look at your guys' channels and it makes me wanna change up what I am doing to be more focused on like... a western perspective, I'm not really sure if it would be better for getting an audience or something. I watched your video with Matt and it seems that people are only interested in sensationalism and things of that nature here on RUclips, which is kind of disappointing!
Great video! I get these comments a tiny bit too, in a very small way, because of my interest in Asian culture and and because I'm prepared to identify and talk about Australia's weaknesses. But, when I was living in the US, Australians never assumed that my residence there implied that I hated Australia, but they did assume that I was a yanky-phile (which is not true). These problems of perception are why the US should be encouraging their kids to travel OS, do a working-holiday gap year, study abroad.
Shots fired at SerpentZA @ 15:10? lol. I think his perspective is valid. He's cranky that he had to leave China because of how creepy it was getting for him, his family, and his friends. I do miss his older content when he wasn't so jaded and he and Laowai86 got to explore China. Basically it seemed like a freer society - until you anger or get abused by someone in power. Then you have no recourse. Or if you try doing productive things, like petitioning for clean water or clean air, you get harassed or worse by party bosses that run the local factories. Not the only perspective, of course. But honestly, as an American, I do feel that if I went to China, I'd always have a sense of fear that I could get swept up for any reason. Will I probably be fine? Of course. But if something happens, that system is designed to ruin my life. I don't want to travel to a country that could randomly incarcerate me and I couldn't get the legal system to protect me. wo yao zou zhongguo lai, danshi keyi zhen bu hao. duibuqi. danshi, ni men zhongguoren - wo juede ni men dou shi hao. my chinese isn't very good, but it's a fun language and surprisingly straightforward. regrettably i don't feel comfortable going to the mainland at this time.
Recently got into this trend of language capability as I find it inspiring, I like how you addressed the trend (questionable ‘tubers and all), along with your clear capability and talent of what you do for your channel and the hard work to achieve where you’re at. You are really strikingly beautiful also, just keep what your doing, good luck 🤞🏻 keep it up, I’m sure you’ll achieve what you want to!
After watching your whole video, just some things to comment on: I got tired of the men in suits who speak poor Chinese with their video titles sooo clickbaity that the only truth to them is where the incident took place. Once in a while they’ll pop up again and I’ll be ready to click that “do not recommend channel” option Sadly, even some well educated westerners think that China is still living in the Qing Dynasty 😂 Rigid, black&white thinking is not conducive for mental growth, and people need to learn that rarely (if ever) is something 100% good, bad, mediocre, neutral or whatever. Totally unrelated: When JJ said “Latin” languages it reminded me of a Chinese friend who thought 拉丁文 was like 中文 and 法西意语等 were like dialects, but I was happy that my Chinese was at a level where I could explain to him the differences, and similarities 😃 Take care, and great video(s)! 赞！bravo!
I seriously doubt that “plumbing stereotype” anecdote. Everything you bought from Walmart are made in China sadly. The “ignorant person” who asked that question must be living in a cave. It seems more like a disingenuous effort to distract the West from confronting CCP with the serious human right issues. Same old excuse “you don’t know how good China is”.
@@nycsimon2024 I don't shop at Walmart. Nor do I subscribe to the idea that "Made in the USA" is somehow a positive connotation. Every country has its issues. Arrogance is no exception.
You can't believe how happy I was to see a video of OrientalPearl an JJSays! Being a fan of both of your channels, this was wonderful to see! Now all you need to do is snag that infamous Aussie "BlondieInChina" and then you three can you do some serious magic! :-)

@@TheYesterdays Great! What is your native language - English? If you need any help, I use the app they mentioned - hellotalk, so if you need any help with Portuguese let me know. 😀
She looks like a spy! Only a spy would put Christmas lights in November! I bet she listens to jingles as well! Traitor... I hit the like button again when you told me to. See, it actually works :) P.S: JJ, your gestures make the camera go out of focus. Hands on your knees ;)
This is a good point. It’s too early for Christmas. That’s suspicious LOL.
They look like chinese people with plastic surgery🤣🤣
When she gestures and the screen blurs, it's China scanning the viewers! Lmfao
@@OrientalPearl so that’s mean I’m spy cause I have my Christmas and Halloween lights all the entire year and of course on my room only and also playing seasonal carol music all year lol 😂
@@beniaminom.degiustio.1729 oh my 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤣🤣😄😃😃😂😀😀😀you killed with that comment 😃😄🤣🤣
I agree with your view on the people and culture versus politics and policies. Thank you! I’m an old retired American. I love what you and JJ are doing. I will spread the word! Thank you!
Learning a foreign language is never easy. Without the environment and time, it is extremely difficult to achieve proficiency. Both ladies had been in China for a number of years and have the great interest in the language. Its amazing to see them interact that way.
I haven't heard skype sound in like 6 years o,o
Same xD
You both smart girls are happy to learn and accept Chinese culture，language , food and all sort of things . Sharing all the true things / stories about China . Thanks for sharing:)
Hi Ms. Pearl, Wow I truly enjoyed this video. It really made me feel good to see & hear you to ladies say what you did. I was so proud of you both. I'm near 70y.o. & it makes my heart glad to see that all is not lost with youth such as you two. I've only discovered you (2) in the last couple of day's thru a video you made with Xiamanye (in N.Y.) Hence I tagged onto you thru him, & JJsay's thru you. I"m amazed @ the courage you took locating to China; my hat's off to you. I wished I could speak every language so I also could break down the barrier's that we people have. God love all of you people who create content like this. Thank you so much for expanding my knowledge. Have a blessed day!! Illinois, USA
Thank you so much! This comment made my day.
You 2 together at last... i guess dreams do come true. Ive waited a loooong time for this 👀
I come to this a year late but, you two rock! You make excellent points in a very cogent manner! I agree totally. People like you two only promote harmony and how can that be a bad thing?
I'm really quite jealous, I have no talent for languages at all except my own. Tried to learn French and when in France, people I spoke to always answered in English because I was so terrible! Lol They really appreciated the effort though and I did have great experiences. So, to anyone who's nervous, don't be. The fact you try, even if like me you fail miserably, you'll still be better thought of!
Infinity War is the most ambitious crossover.
JJ & Anming: Hold our tea.
@Alex: Oolong Tea
I’m glad that you liked the teamwork!
Love your videos girls😁
我去年开始了学习中文，中国文化有趣。😍 I hope I can learn more and more about Chinese culture and language.
I remember getting a similar reaction from my Grandma when I first decided to move abroad to Japan. She'd grown up during the second world war so she had Japan = bad in her head ever since and thought it would be dangerous. It was interesting getting her to visit before she passed away and she actually really enjoyed it, probably healed some old prejudices and stereotypes she had from way back. People tend to have an idea in their head about a country and also feel you can only be part of one country and culture. I'm very proud of being English and that culture, I also enjoy being part of Japanese culture. There are plenty of things I like and dislike about living in either country and didn't leave England because I hated it or had no friends or whatever. I think I'm like most people and just hit a point where I felt if I don't go experience what's out there soon I never will. Seeing life from other perspectives is a really good thing.
There are probably plenty of negative China RUclipsrs as much as there are Japan ones. I grew tired of English speaking RUclipsrs in Japan for a long time because they were either miserable or just batshit crazy, only so much negativity you can take before you're asking "If you hate it why not leave?" but they never want to. I guess it's more because negativity and sensationalism gets more views lol. As far as stereotypes and people questioning you're a spy or being paid by the Chinese government, I guess you didn't help matters by showing footage of yourself in university doing a presentation on how evil American media is and how they are wrong about China lol, even I laughed a little at that. I guess if you're a positive person and don't act like all these super negative expats people make assumptions that you're a shill.
That's right. The older generation tends to be extra suspicious. Thanks for your insightful comment!
This warms my heart speaking japanese and chinese together. Its a blessing. You are the best oriental pearl muah love and kisses.
Thank you so much for sending love!
I think a large part of the problem is that there are two types of people. Those that have no interest in travel, or just travel in the manner that is basically the same as the life bubble they were raised in. The others want to travel and experience the true culture including the language of other parts of the world. The media tends to highlight disputes between governments which colors the knowledge that those who have never traveled to those countries. They understand that they are different unique individuals, but view others as basically monolithic clones who are all identical. It makes it easy to have flawed ideas of what is like to live in a different country. This is not a limited to North Americans but to a lesser extent every different environment. This is no different that an individual who was raised and lived in an urban environment and one living and raised in rural Wyoming or Montana. Their views of the life are formed by the images presented in the media, and not real world experience. When you add the learning of a language that is not directly related to their day to day existence it increases the skepticism. Why are you learning Japanese? What good will it do you? Are you going to live in Japan? What's the point? When I say I find the language unique, challenging and fun to learn, some just can't comprehend that type of thought process. The But Why's just never end because the general idea is just such a foreign concept, that it holds little or no interest to them, so their must be something wrong with you. There must be hidden, unstated reasons why anyone would engage in this sort of endeavor.
Another thought provoking video.
What's wrong with having no interest in travel or wanting to live in a bubble?
I love the subtle dig to seprentza 🤣 I'm not chinese but it is obvious he has some sort of negative bias against chinese people, as almost all of his videos are about bashing china.
Yasss! Love JJ's channel!
WOW!! My two favorite newfound language youtubers together!!
You girls are so cute, and funny. Welcome…greetings from a Chinese in Africa. Lol
Wha ha! Nice! Good luck!
THIS IS THE COLLAB WE’VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR
I’m so glad to hear that. JJ and I have a very similar audience.
Youre living the life that i dream !^-^ wish i could go to Japan and China someday.
Hello, I am very recent on your channel. I love your videos! I just want to say thank you, first!! They help a lot!
Please, please don't be self-conscious with "haters" on line. All humans are primal creatures, no offense, but it's true. 🙂 Most people are very afraid of things, that they don't understand, since the Stone Age era. When we are afraid of something the first reaction is to defence ourselves. Unfortunately, most of the time it happens through anger or frustration, which is sad in the 21st century. Happy filming!
JJ’s mom speaks MORE than “a little bit Chinese”
Search for Nancy Opel to see JJ's mom's work and interviews
This was fun to watch. I'm an Asian living in Europe. I got the same comments like yours about Thailand.
Hey Anming! I'm a French Canadian trying to learn Mandarin. I had a class on Sunday and we used your video in the class. My teacher said your Mandarin is pretty much at the level of a native speaker! I knew your Mandarin was awesome but I didn't expect a native speaker say you sound native!!!
That's so cool that you used my video in the class! I'm really flattered. The next video will be about how I learned Chinese. I hope it helps you.
@@OrientalPearl Nice! I have a feeling YOUR video, unlike all the other linguistic youtubers, will not be a "buy my learning program" video, but rather an actual language learning tips video! :)
Thank you both for such refreshing views that the world so desperately needs. It shows that living and studying abroad will expand and broaden one’s view of different cultures and promote understanding amongst people. Your battle against the tide of negativity towards the familiar is indeed inspiring. Your songs and videos are so unique, a stimulating breath of fresh air, encouraging hope and tolerance in this world
Omg, both of you speak perfect Mandarin even better than me
These videos are normally done split-screen format. But to make your subtitles more readable you did it this way. Very thoughtful of you.
Great enjoyable discussion!
Yeah, I tried to take the same approach that my friend Matt vs Japan used. His way it doesn’t look like we are interrupting each other and talking over each other.
I don’t feel identity problem when I speak English. I don’t understand why speaking Chinese become a problem.
It shouldn’t be, but some people think it’s strange when American learn Chinese or Japanese.
@@OrientalPearl
Oh, but I know some Australian learn Mandarin , Cantonese and Japanese.
I believe understand other culture is strength rather than weakness.
@@OrientalPearl it is strange actually,since Chinese isn't spoken much outside of China or a few select countries
@@jeremyemilio9378 It might not be the official language of more than a couple places (Mainland China, Taiwan, and Singapore) but it’s now one of the top 10 most studied foreign languages in the world.
14:30 I got the same feeling too. When I was in my graduate class in California, as I was the only foreigner and Chinese guy in the class, my professors often asked for my opinion on certain topics too. Yeah, I got a lot of attention.
15:11 - I think I have an idea who you're throwing shade at 🤣
SerpentZA? Winston Frederick Sterzel?
@@EricWood42 Ding ding ding we have a winner lol
@@unknownsoldier9438 We have a "weeeeeiiiiiner" lol
I been cheating on you been watching JJ seduced by her singing along with her amazing mom. You are still my favorite Pearl and always will be. Forgive me.
Thank you so much! I love you!
yeah that song JJ did a few weeks ago was amazing. hooked me and so i subscribed after that song lol

Say that to those in concentration camps my friend
Volia,once again, i encounter you under the drawing of the RUclips's algorithm from the near-furture on 30th, november,2021 as a native Chinese in mainland,as is the same way the first time met you here,keying in my commentary here the second time in english version,still can't help but outpouring my passion about your passion about the sinological culture on the premise of my prediction about your American-Japanese marriage in the future,for what it's worth, i am immensely pround of the commonplace in the my culture could be shared and resonated with you and like-minded people like you and, i'll follow you and stay tuned for your channel as it always be.By the way, the winter is approaching and the telltale sign of which is obvious ,stay hydrated and stay warm,please!!! Joshua
18:55, a lot of Chinese hold that stereotype as well. I mean.. the shoe fits pretty damn often.
I can totally relate to experiencing these kinds of prejudices from studying Russian. You're really encouraging me to learn Chinese too!
I imagine people say the same exact things about Russia.
@@OrientalPearl yes definitely! With Japan it was not as bad but of course there are also the anime/manga related stereotypes.
Anming don’t stop with Chinese and Japanese....you can master Korean too...,especially with your experience with those two. Even though they are linguistically unrelated, they have so much in common that they can pave the way for Korean, both written and spoken. Written Korean, with its 24 letter alphabet, would be apiece of cake for you. In a matter of hours, not days, you would get a handle on it, some pronunciation hurdles not withstanding. Sentence word order is the same as Japanese, with a little more emphasis on honorifics. No question that this third fascinating language would round out and enrich your East Asian experience.
I would love to learn Korean! I probably would have started already if it weren’t for this RUclips channel taking up all my time. Lol
what makes this discussion so good is that we can see u guys r having genuine fun.
Yes, we had a lot of fun making this video.
Wow, I was literally planning to write a comment in the next vid to come out that you should collab with JJsays. Hopefully you can meet up in New York sometime.
I read your mind. Lol
Its refreshing to see 2 beautiful and smart women having a opened mind! Too many people nowadays think you have to pick a side with every topic, which is frustrating as though they're only using half their brain! Much respect to you 2 wonderful ladies and hope to see more of your contents!
Thank you so much! I’m glad that you found this video to be refreshing.
You two are both beautiful and intelligent ladies. Thanks for showing to the world the truth of China.
What truth? The truth that China is a totalitarian regime?
@@nycsimon2024 so did China kill your family or something? You should better check what the US has committed to the world first.
@@concernedhermit7153 Same old same old CCP propaganda Wumao standard narrative.
You guys give a inspiration to start learning Chinese and Japanese as a third and fourth language cause I already know Spanish my main language and now I speak as best it’s possible English since 2008 when I move here USA 🇺🇸. Other than English and my own language Japanese and Chinese are that one of the most I’m really interesting to learn speak and write. Bravo for the great nicely live discussion you guys have was beyond amazing 😻
I literally watched a video from her yesterday and I already see you making a collab with her, lol. That was FAST
What a coincidence!
What I realized at 18:45 was, I would like you both have some statement about the #passportbros discussions.. You cant believe the hate one gets currently when having an asian girlfriend.. I am so happy that I am able to move to SE asia soon.. As a westerner, this was the first time I experienced that racial based hate really - and it came from my own kin, so to say.
As you have an asian boyfriend as well, I think you have some strong opionions about the current discussion
I'm a big fan of you'll, and ur content , you're so talented
You two speak chinese so good🔥🔥
This is so coooollll🔥🔥
Rarely do we see an American speaking good about China. Hope you become an ambassador for China to America and other western countries and thaw the hatred away.
Wo ai ni Amning ❤️
我也爱你！
With respect, when China embraces democratic reform, respect human rights, and stop their aggression towards Taiwan and in the South Sea, the free world will welcome China naturally, no need for any ambassadors or 大外宣.
@@nycsimon2024 with respect, in your mind China is evil by default and hence, he is always the bad guy in every conflict. Have you even considered for once that China "may" have legitimate claims in their disputes with others?
The South China Sea for instance, some of the documents China presented in the court ruling pre-dates human settlement in many of the other claimant countries. Have you tried seeing from their perspective?
Talking of aggression, America is the one pursuing military alliance in Asia with one purpose alone: annihilate China; not China in North America.
The issue is not that China is often misunderstood In America but instead Americans do not want to see the good in China.
China is far from perfect and need reforms for sure. But it is by no means an embodiment of evil and neither is America a land of holies.
@@janglalgoupiak1891 The ideological differences between China and the free world is “the elephant in the room”. This is about human rights, democracy and freedom. Those values are enshrined in our Constitution. Chinese propaganda tries to sweep these values under the carpet and only talk about economic prosperity and the same old “mutual benefit” narrative. This pandemic proves that this doesn’t work either. What China did in China is affecting the whole world.
@@nycsimon2024 🐸🐸🐸Your Bullshit Nonsense are totally useless 😂
Most people don't realise international trading keeps moving between the West and East. Asian people invest in Western products and Western people buy Eastern products and made in China like consoles, iphones, macbooks, pc parts etc.
A modern car most of the parts are from all over the world. If you go to a grocery store most foods are from different countries. People are always supporting each others country without realising it.
Sometimes i like mcdonalds, burger king, but i like kfc the best. There is the real KFC, McDonalds in China, so don't worry about that :3
Haha you two trying outflex the other's mandarin.
On a serious note. I have been following your channel almost since the beginning and I have to say how amazing it is how you and the channel have grown. Back then you were on 13k subs and I remember you worrying about how you were going to reach out to more viewers but look at you now!. You kept with it and now you are on 134k
Thanks for the support! I’m still struggling with reaching out to more viewers, but I’m trying to do a variety of topics to help with that problem.
Ong, Ive been following channels of you two for a long time, im so excited to see this video now
💚💚💚
Thanks for being a fan! I’m glad you have been following both of our adventures.
i saw JJ in one of Xiama's videos,wow. btw was learning japanese easier because you already knew chinese?
I knew she looked familiar 😂
Yes for sure! It made learning Japanese at least 25% easier. Lol
@@OrientalPearl 漢字
I already know who you both are but really appreciate the introduction you both gave. I feel I've learned more about you both. I love how your both switching languages so smoothly. I hope you do videos when you get back home to China and show us the beauty of that country too.
I really wanna go to Taïwan, personnaly, one day !
There are good videos on Asian Boss channel about what chinese people think about democracy, and so on
Taiwan is a lot of fun. I used to live in 新竹
Enjoy hearing these conversations and the collabs you’ve been putting out. 💖 Good stuff.
I’m glad that you like it! I’d like to do more interview style videos and commentary.
15:09 Thanks for roasting this "doctor trainer"
Winston Frederick Sterzel? SerpentZA?
@@EricWood42 I guess she talked about SerpentZA, could also be that she had Chris Chappell from China Uncensored on her mind, but "I show you China how it really is" is Winstons quote

So at this point, after having been stuck in Japan for awhile, which do you prefer, Japan or China?
oh no don't make her choose.
You both are soooo great minds, thank you for sharing a piece of you and brighten my days enjoying it
I love when people just changed when they speak their native or second language, it just turn into different personalities 😀
Speaking mandarin makes me feel like being a kung fu master
@@relaxwhc Hhaha.. I can't speak mandarin but everytime I see people speak it's like I'm watching any Stephen Chow movies or something
@@relaxwhc yea.. that's why I love msg so much
Always enjoy watching your videos - they are always light-hearted.
The beginning is hilarious 🤣🤣
Thanks for watching Rody! Sorry I was working on this today and couldn't hang out.
@@OrientalPearl you and Rody in Japan need to do more videos! He was HILARIOUS (and pretty cute!) 😉
That is soooo COOL
BUT also a little strange in a very very neat way.
Wow I bet Washington would Love to have People like them on their staff !!!!!
You were at Waseda University?! No wonder I keep getting ads for that school 😂
That explains it! The universe is telling you to go there too. Lol
@@OrientalPearl Would you personally recommend others to go to Waseda or does it depend on what you study?
You girls rock!! Love this collaboration!!
What an EXQUISITE shirt! Is she wearing silk? I am delighted, truly so!
Two of my favorite Chinese speaking youtubers did a crossover!
Excellent talk
I’m glad that you liked the collaboration!
Ahh I’m so early, I love youuuu
I love you too!
I am a white guy born in New York probably 15 years older than these two. Had the luck to learn Mandarin & Cantonese by doing in Chinatown - never studied and then lived 20 years in China and Hong Kong. That made my whole life what it is now and those are great countries. The politics are unfortunate but the people and opportunities are amazing. People said there is gold in the streets of New York. The gold was in China. The ice sculptures in Harbin are amazing and great skiing there at Yabuli!.
I’ve wanted to go to Yabuki for a long time to ski, but haven’t had the chance yet.
@@OrientalPearl it is a very nice ski resort with closed gondola so you can warm up while you are going back up the mountain. Despite the temperatures are like -15 as long as its not windy its fine...
I love this! You guys are great and both have amazing Chinese levels! As someone who makes street interview videos about China, I am hoping to never get accused of being like a Chinese spy or something, like a shill for the government! IDK, I look at your guys' channels and it makes me wanna change up what I am doing to be more focused on like... a western perspective, I'm not really sure if it would be better for getting an audience or something. I watched your video with Matt and it seems that people are only interested in sensationalism and things of that nature here on RUclips, which is kind of disappointing!
You will be accused of being a spy at some point lol that’s inevitable.
@@OrientalPearl Honey, if I could get those government 关系, honey... The power!
Great video! I get these comments a tiny bit too, in a very small way, because of my interest in Asian culture and and because I'm prepared to identify and talk about Australia's weaknesses.
But, when I was living in the US, Australians never assumed that my residence there implied that I hated Australia, but they did assume that I was a yanky-phile (which is not true).
These problems of perception are why the US should be encouraging their kids to travel OS, do a working-holiday gap year, study abroad.
Everybody seems to get it if they show an interest in Asian culture. It’s a strange thing.
This gives me Motivation to become fluent in Korean and also start learning Japanese. I gave up on chinese tho, too hard for me...ㅠㅠㅠ
Don't give up
don´t give up! after Japanese I´m coming after Chinese, just stay focused and keep it up!
totalle agree chinese so hard to learn, i give up too already. i prefer korea instead
@@penepenpen i think japanese is like familiar so, many of people in the word like with japanese :v
They say Chinese is easier to learn than Japanese for English speakers
JJ talks so fast in Chinese! Its crazy! Way to go.
Even just the first 30 seconds of this is hilarious.
I'm glad you liked that part. I spent a lot of time editing that first little bit of the video.
Shots fired at SerpentZA @ 15:10? lol. I think his perspective is valid. He's cranky that he had to leave China because of how creepy it was getting for him, his family, and his friends.
I do miss his older content when he wasn't so jaded and he and Laowai86 got to explore China. Basically it seemed like a freer society - until you anger or get abused by someone in power. Then you have no recourse. Or if you try doing productive things, like petitioning for clean water or clean air, you get harassed or worse by party bosses that run the local factories.
Not the only perspective, of course.
But honestly, as an American, I do feel that if I went to China, I'd always have a sense of fear that I could get swept up for any reason. Will I probably be fine? Of course. But if something happens, that system is designed to ruin my life. I don't want to travel to a country that could randomly incarcerate me and I couldn't get the legal system to protect me. wo yao zou zhongguo lai, danshi keyi zhen bu hao. duibuqi. danshi, ni men zhongguoren - wo juede ni men dou shi hao.
my chinese isn't very good, but it's a fun language and surprisingly straightforward. regrettably i don't feel comfortable going to the mainland at this time.
OMG, THIS IS EPIC.
Recently got into this trend of language capability as I find it inspiring, I like how you addressed the trend (questionable ‘tubers and all), along with your clear capability and talent of what you do for your channel and the hard work to achieve where you’re at. You are really strikingly beautiful also, just keep what your doing, good luck 🤞🏻 keep it up, I’m sure you’ll achieve what you want to!
Thanks so much for your support!
After watching your whole video, just some things to comment on:
I got tired of the men in suits who speak poor Chinese with their video titles sooo clickbaity that the only truth to them is where the incident took place. Once in a while they’ll pop up again and I’ll be ready to click that “do not recommend channel” option
Sadly, even some well educated westerners think that China is still living in the Qing Dynasty 😂
Rigid, black&white thinking is not conducive for mental growth, and people need to learn that rarely (if ever) is something 100% good, bad, mediocre, neutral or whatever.
Totally unrelated: When JJ said “Latin” languages it reminded me of a Chinese friend who thought 拉丁文 was like 中文 and 法西意语等 were like dialects, but I was happy that my Chinese was at a level where I could explain to him the differences, and similarities 😃
Take care, and great video(s)! 赞！bravo!
Yeah, some people still think of ancient China, but people who have visited there have a different perspective.
This was very eye opening. Thank you for doing this topic
Thanks for checking this video out! You are one of my most loyal viewers. 😊
You guys are too nice. Personally, I wouldn't be so subtle when calling out textbook western ignorance lol
I seriously doubt that “plumbing stereotype” anecdote. Everything you bought from Walmart are made in China sadly. The “ignorant person” who asked that question must be living in a cave. It seems more like a disingenuous effort to distract the West from confronting CCP with the serious human right issues. Same old excuse “you don’t know how good China is”.
@@nycsimon2024 I don't shop at Walmart. Nor do I subscribe to the idea that "Made in the USA" is somehow a positive connotation. Every country has its issues. Arrogance is no exception.
