You made him feel comfortable in sharing his story. It is a well done interview. I hope he doesn’t face any backlash. I applaud him for being brave and true to himself.
my university in Beijing is so gay, there aren't that many boys anyway.... so the girls are all complaining 😂 The boys are easy to spot and sometimes boys will walk hand in hand, but the girls are harder to spot If someone could give me a clue, I'd be grateful!
This video is so important! Thank you so much for it. I really dont know if you realized the meaning for some one in the community. Thanks, really thanks!
Such a thoughtful and compassionate interview! It's amazing how you create such a safe and welcoming space for open conversation. This was a beautiful way to shed light on important topics while making him feel truly comfortable being himself. ❤
As a lesbian girl who is studing chinese and wants to move to China someday, I'm truly happy you made this video. If you have any lesbian or saphic friend that would accept to do this kind of video,please do it haha. Anyways, thank you so much and keep doing your great job as always. 非常谢谢！
hey!! 💗 i don’t know if you’ll see this but i’m also a lesbian who’s studying chinese and is going to study in china in like a month :) we could add each other somewhere if you’d like ^^
Thank you! As a 🏳️🌈者 myself, it's so good to hear from others about what the culture is like and the direction it's going there. Thank you for giving a voice!
Unfortunately, China is becoming more and more conservative about LGBT since 2015, so Bangkok's Proud flag may not appear in Beijing, Shanghai or other Chinese cities.
Something I'm curious about: I've heard that attitudes in China, especially outside of the cities and among the older generations, can be pretty conservative and that families might not accept their children being gay. But I've also heard that there is very little hate crime against gay people, unlike other parts of the world where a lot of the homophobic attitudes are rooted in religion. Is this true? Or if it is, is it only true in certain cities?
I am not gay, but I am Chinese. I can assure you that gay people will absolutely not have to worry about violence just because they're gay. Violence, in general, is abhorred in Confucian culture. I'd go so far as to say there wouldn't be any out-and-out discrimination (as in not being allowed into a restaurant), but like I said, I'm not gay, so I don't want to speak on gay people's behalf. It's just that I've never seen anything like that. But definitely no violence.
I am a gay who comes out. Fortunately, my friends support me very much, and my classmates and colleagues do not exclude me. What's better is that my parents also accepted it
@@aprillen Thank you. But to be honest, China is not as open as Europe. Some parents still want a grandchild. Sometimes they will force their children to marry a girl and get a grandchild.
Great. More interviews please! I like Mandarin Corner's interviews but somehow yours is much easier for shaddowing. And i love the slowed down for emphasis words. So clever and more cool modern girl. Well done!
I relate to the experience of not coming out to my family. Sometimes it's just not worth it, and that sucks, and is a hard thing to grapple with, but in a lot of situations it's for the best.
I feel exactly the same like a real macho in Canada. The real masculinity is prohibited here. I feel it is a process and need to make the path for next generation. I understand him perfectly. It has a lack of testosterones, you know, but we represent and inspire.
ShuoShuo, pardon me to argue. China is quite open, they liberalized gay marrige even before Thailand, that's a factual mistake. They were the first in SE-Asia, if we count them there.
@@AdamHuzellaNot all of china is taiwan . 😭 ?? The creator of this video is also from mainland china , so when they say “ chinese society “ they mean mainland china
@@AdamHuzella Taiwan is not a province of China, only the CCP believes so, and the CCP prohibited same sex marriage lmao. A good example is how Chinese companies can't explicitly show gay characters in media of any kind, or it gets filtered
@@Flyingsearat I know exactly what she meant I was just pointing out that she wasn't exactly right. Not all China is Taiwan, but all Taiwan is China. So if the question is: Does China recognise gay marriage? The answer cannot be no.
I think the whole pride month is a very bad thing for society. Don't get me wrong. It's okay that everybody should have the freedom to live as he or she wants to. But as a society, the ideals have to be kept up. Otherwise the society will ruin itself. And that's what I loved in China, where I lived 10 years ago. At that time, I went accidentally in a pub in Shanghai, in which a gay porn was running at the TVs. It was not a big deal, we left the pub again after one beer. And I thought that this level of tolerance is exactly the right one. But: the "promotion" of any thing other than the ideal of husband and wife is bad. We realize this now in Germany. And I'm afraid, that China will take a bad course - the more they would follow the Western examples, the worse it will get.
@@Angelofnine Well, the history confirms me. The Romans, the Greek, the US, whole Europe, Germany... the moral decline (I'm talking about a society, not about indiviuals!) comes before its fall. And that's the reason why China was able to rise that fast out of the ashes so to say. Prove me history-wise that I'm wrong.
I think as a society we have to care for each other, regardless of those aspects you are bringing forth. You are denying the possibility and actual existence of many happy families with two dads or moms or any other constellation. It does not matter for their children if their parents are straight, gay or something else as long as they are with those significant others they wish for and care for each other. But as you can see from the video (did you actually watch it?) and other examples, it does matter if society establishes unreasonable beliefs about which person should marry whom and consecutively resulting into unhappy families, gay men pushed to marry a woman and vice versa and such life tragedies. Because even if you do not care about gay people and such, does it not make sense to promote a healthy ground for the development of a society to which everyone can thrive upon regardless of their sex or gender and contribute to society and ideals, as you described you are longing for? Who did hurt you brother? Hab trotzdem einen schönen Tag.

As someone who's going to study in china next year and is also part of the community, this was an incredibly helpful video, 谢谢你们俩！
Yeah, the same for me. If you remember, could you, please come back and give us your story?
@@grRock26 ooh, I can try! 😭
If anyone finds this after July 2026 and I still haven't posted an update, please reply to remind me
@@MishMashi leaving a comment because I'm also very curious about this!

@LaMadameWang I get you. Since I started to study Chinese culture and watch Thai shows, I swear my gaydar is broken kkkkkkk looking for clues too
I think we can extend Pride Month a few days for this video...
Aww your comment made my day 🥰
No.
This video is so important! Thank you so much for it. I really dont know if you realized the meaning for some one in the community. Thanks, really thanks!
謝謝老師你用你大的平台跟學生分享這個重要的議題。雖然一些粉絲可能不接受同性戀或是恐同的、但是不用擔心。妳的粉絲大部分都是很開分還有是酷兒/LGBTQ。我們都支持妳！妳又棒又厲害！🙌🏾✨
谢谢你 ：）

This was very helpful and interesting! 说实话 I didn't expect that acceptance of lgbt+ community is growing in China. I'm really happy to hear that!
Because of the beginning, I think quite highly of Thailand now. At least in the sense of the LGBTQ community🏳️🌈

you should add pinyin
No, for intermediate students, it is better not to have pinyin. As soon as there is pinyin, people stop trying to read the characters.
