Wesley's pieces always have a beautiful cinematic quality to them. I couldn't help wondering if Wesley was directing the shots before they were taken or if he just told Chris to follow him and they came out that way. It reminded me of an old Wong Fu behind the scenes or something where they were near a garden and the three of them were taking single shots with a camera (was it scouting a location?). The shots were so artistic. Took me back to when the three of them were starting out. I'm probably the only one who thinks about Ted and wonders if we'll ever get a surprise cameo in the future.
I live in Japan and I forgot Wes’ surname is Chan, so I thought Benson was saying Bolo-chan (little Bolo)😊 She is a cutie anyways! Benson and Wes have a lot in common! The Brian, Benson and Wesley siblings/cousins names and the love for yorkies❤️
I really can’t describe how nice it is to hear Cantonese being spoken. I rarely ever hear it outside of my family and Wes’ accent is so similar to mine (the ABC is strong) that it is really comforting and amazing to hear someone so accomplished speaking it.
@Alethia Chan Yes, I also am ecstatic when I hear Cantonese, + the parade song was in Cantonese. I like Wes the most, because he is Cantonese, like us. Also, both Mom + Bolo are uber-cute.
@@penname8441 same to hear someone that's not my family speak Cantonese is comforting. I live 2 hours or so from SF, my area has Asians but not many Chinese. I have never met someone my age that is a Cantonese speaker.

It's been said but it's that uniquely shot that it is worth repeating: the cinematography is beautiful! For a moment I forgot that it was a Wong Fu Whatever because of how ethereal and surreal it felt.
Even though this is a Ad, this was so heartwarming to watch. I grew up watching wongfu and as I'm growing older, the resources for Cantonese movies or shows are scarce now. I find myself constantly going to places just so i can hear people speaking it to bring me closer as my Cantonese is broken. I definitely miss every interaction with my family, I love this!!!
Thanks Wes for this episode! I am a Malaysian Chinese, with daughters educated in Canada & England. I will send them both this recording, so that the warmth of CNY will always be with them wherever they are. This video shows the filial family part of you, which is so heartwarming. The nature settings emphasises the warmness of family togetherness. And the fact that Bolo only comprehends Cantonese makes the whole thing sp poignant. Thanks for this invoking of warm memories that for my family will continue with generations to come. As Chinese, we should always remember our roots! All the best to you, Taylor, Jen, Benson and the rest of the crew in Wongfu Production! Belated GONG XI FA CAI from here in Malaysia!
I think, this video in itself was a huge wake up call and somewhat emotional for something that’s considered to be on the “second channel”. Just seeing a mother and son relationship warms my heart because you can see how much Wes’s mom is excited to see him. Even though it was probably what seemed like 2 days. Such a heartwarming video and cheers to the most simple, but heartwarming moments!
Very touching! I actually think having episodes dedicated to individual members of the WF team like this one would make for really great content. Keep up the great work
The way this was shot, narrated and the pace of the whole video was something I personally love to see in media. Although fast paced media is also entertaining this type of content makes you feel very fuzzy and it takes you on a journey which you can never forget. Thank you for making this.
Awww it’s really nice to see your Asian American household. It’s so nice to see another first generation Cantonese family’s home :) so heartwarming cause it just feels so familiar
My mother passed away 3 years ago to a rare form of lung cancer that affects non-smoking Asian women and watching this video really got to me. Alot of emotions i felt thru the scenes as you grow older you cherish the simple things and time you have with your parents cause you cant take it back, spend as much time with your loved ones, tell them you love them everyday. Love this episode i felt it in my heart and soul.
I love Wes and his mum relationship. It's so beautiful and there's something about the two of them spending time together is precious and pure which relates to the feeling of 'home. It warms my heart ☺
Bolo is so well behaved! Your mom takes such good care of him. Love your relationship with your mom. It's so sweet. She must be so proud of you. ❤️ Also, LOVE hearing you speak Cantonese!
Native San Franciscan in the east coast now. Seeing this makes me miss home even more! The sounds, the scene, the feels, the canto-all very close to home. Thanks for documenting this Wes!
I had to emotionally prepare myself knowing that this was going to be such a sentimental video, but I was not prepared for just how humble his home life is and I think this video just captured it beautifully - Thank you Wong Fu for always giving us amazing content.
Every time I see Wes’ mother, “no capes” comes to my mind! I remember Wes told in a lunch break that the character reminds him of his mother. I’m rewatching the video while commenting now. I usually watch videos while scrolling, but the scenes were so simple and pretty that I didn’t want to multitask.
Why does the whole video look like a cinema???it looks so good.waiting for more videos when you are ready. An inspiration to all those who loves this field of work. Scenes with your mom were the best.bolo too😭
Love love loved this video! So simple and so real. I can’t believe you (Chris) was able to capture such normal yet so heartwarming interactions between Wes and his mom. Thank you Chris for recording and thank you Wes for allowing us into your (parents’) home.
Awwww.. your mother is a super cute canto mum! I loved seeing how you guys interacted. You both have such a calming nature. We need to see more family clips!
Wes has always been my favourite since a long time ago. Been away from their channel for almost 2 years but this viseo brought me back again...a bit like homecoming 😍🥰
This is so wholesome!! I love the Wes storytelling style and listening to the Canto 😊 I miss my mom, she always gave me fruits and food whenever I leave.
this was honestly the best thing I've watched from Wongfu. I loved how it was shot, it was like watching an arthouse movie. and wes' mum is so cute! that look when she went on her way and he said he's sure she'll be fine tho 😭
This video really warmed my heart. It also felt close to me and it could be because of the cantonese spoken in it. It also reminded me of how I want to keep learning cantonese so I can have conversations with my grandma and be able to talk to my parents without using English all the time. And thank you for sharing this video, it was beautiful!
When Wes's mom gave him fruits and veggies to put in his luggage I felt that... My mom does the same thing everytime
Mama tings
Everytime!
soo true!! my mum always gives me fruit and stuff when i'm leaving :D
I cried at this comment 😭
It's a Asian"mama" thing to do🤣😍
The whole scene where he was throwing the garbage, it looks so cinematic
HE WAS JUST THROWING THE TRASH
SUCH GOOD CINEMATOGRAPHY?
Trash is not trash.
@@thewesleychan unless you're throwing it into a smart trashcan
Dat golden hour light tho

Bolo Bao?
Everything is better with a Yorkie!

Despite this being an ad, I loved seeing such a personal side of Wes as a long time fan of WF. What a sweet video :). Thanks for the glimpse.
Cheers
When Wes said Bolo only understand Cantonese no English, it's remind me Eric Nam said "Your dog speaks Chinese!!!" To Amber 😂😂
Hidayati Haji Bidin I love that I know this reference.
also the dog's name means pineapple
and Amber's channel is what the pineapple

This isn’t a wongfu whenever video. This is a main channel video.
Oh my goodness, Wes's mom is so cute! She must be protected at all costs.
Consider it done.
what a good dog, omg, even allows brushing teeth
Hoomans need to learn
I can’t believe I started to tear up watching this. The Mother-Son warmth was beautiful to see.
one of my favorite work trips...capturing real moments.
Christopher Yang
I was wondering who was filming, but then I heard Wes saying “Chris” and I got why I liked it so much!
Great job, Chris!!!!
Through out the while video, I was smiling... so wholesome
P.S: Wes is so attractive 😍😍😍
Attractive feelings!
It's so comforting to hear Canto somehow
I also grew up/live in the SF Bay Area but my area doesn't have as many Canto speakers as it did when I was a kid

Wes’s style makes everything feel poetic .. the music and the cinematography is like a beautiful short film
Thanks!
This is the most adorable thing ever!
Agree. But I'm kinda biased...
The wholesomeness in just the thumbnail alone was a lot to handle, and then I watched the rest of the video and I began tearing up🥺
i wanna see wong fu members with their parents in videos more :) if theyre willing, of course
Stay tuned. It's coming.
@@thewesleychan Heck Yeah, my 11:11 wish has come true haha
Wes Chan, best son!
hahaha thanks Edmark
Wesley Chan yes! taking out the rubbish as soon as he gets home! 👍👍👍
I can’t agree more!
A WONGFU WHENEVER HAVE NEVER MADE MY CRY TILL THIS ONE
Expect the unexpected
The filming/editing is so good in this! Very documentary style
Glad you noticed! I wanted to try something new with this one :D
@@thewesleychan I like this style! i hope to see more of these videos:)
Wes is such a easy going dude but mysterious at the same time
SONNY da CUSE I’ll take that!
In 15 years of Wong Fu this is my first time hearing Wes speaking in cantonese. That was so satisfying
Aiyah!
You're a very good son Wes - and Bolo really loves you
:D Bolo just needs a play buddy
So touching! Chinese mom will always stuff something in your luggage when you are leaving...beautiful moments.
Peter Chen That’s love.

@11:10 a mother's way of showing love and how much she cares about your well being. 😭 moms are the best and it's so hard to leave them.
Wes driving when his mom picked him up was so sweet. ❤️
Also Bolo is so flippin adorable!! 🥰
And their whole relationship seems great. 😊😊 such a nice video ❤️
That doorframe, then the cup, remote and glasses were simple yet beautifully shot
Wes things.

it's so heartwarming to see Wes, a son, helping throw out the trash and helping his mom cook.
this film was so gentle to watch. the handmade feel + cinematography hits the spot. camera man / video editor, iseeyou.

Just inspired me to see my mother since I have moved out. Thanks Wes!

so heartwarming that at any age, moms will still pack food for their kids
I love Wes and his mum relationship. It's so beautiful and there's something about the two of them spending time together is precious and pure which relates to the feeling of 'home. It warms my heart ☺
Wes with his mom is just so heartwarming!!!
his mom going on her tippy toes to hug goodbye 🥺 i love her
It's was an honor to see that "family" side of you Wes. Hope you could spend more time with them. You're blessed!
This is so soft and pure 🥺🥺🥺
This was beautifully shot. Also made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Really enjoyed this video.

Bay Area!
The quality of this belongs in a short film category.
I was crying by the time the video ended. We don't necessarily get along with our parents all the time, but they're always there for us. :]
I had to emotionally prepare myself knowing that this was going to be such a sentimental video, but I was not prepared for just how humble his home life is and I think this video just captured it beautifully
- Thank you Wong Fu for always giving us amazing content.
Eric Nguyen
They cooking together, holding hands, talking and laughing is so nice to see.
Humble. That's a better way to describe than 'quiet' // Thank you!
Wes, your mom is so adorable! Please try to visit her as much as you can
Awwww this was so sweet! Wes’s mom is so cute ❤️
why are there suddenly tears in my eyes at the end my heart

Wes’s mom is so cute! She has to tiptoe to reach his shoulder and talk to him 🥰🥰🥰

This video feels so peaceful... wow
This was so beautiful to watch. Of all the things in this video, the part with Wes's mom was particularly heartfelt. God bless your family.

Thank you for sharing something so dear! Makes me miss home a little more today :)
