Hey Laowinners!
I just had a fun chat with a buddy of mine up in Inner Mongolia, and he wanted to track down one of our old friends to relive some of the good old days. We all reconnected, and had a fun group chat.
Some things have changed, however.
My local buddy, Liu, made ...
Hey Laowinners!
I was planning a video review on this movie, but I had a few misgivings. I will instead post here about it where I won't be feasted on by ravenous folk looking for conflict.
I must preface this with the fact that I was really excited for this movie, and really, really ...

Hey Laowinners!
I've been trying to post daily, but instead of spamming all of you every day, Winston and I have worked out a more structured Patreon schedule, so I will combine 3 days posts into a Tuesday post that is more well thought out. Also, I am working on something pretty cool that I will ...

Hey Laowinners!
Now hear me out.
Why in the hell is breakfast in Taiwan and Hong Kong so much better than Mainland China? They are both Chinese majority a...

Hope all of you are doing well. For those of you messaging me about how to get more accurate DNA results, I have used 2 companies . (24genetics and www.lm-genetics.ovh) that work particularly well with European ancestry. They will take your raw data from 23andme, or Ancestry, and a...

Hey Laowinners,
I mentioned earlier about Vivi's DNA result, and I will update you on that next week when I get more information, but the long and short of it is that a Patreon and subscriber found out that he is Vivi's cousin because of this result! It's confirmed that they have a fairly r...

Hey Laowinners!
I am answering the inbox today, thank you for being patient. I have been really busy with some family stuff recently, but I will be back to daily posting.
I have entered some more specific DNA breakdown stuff with some projects that have an ever expanding and more and m...
Hey Laowinners!
In my last video https://youtu.be/yCnnPf2OnHo we exposed Wu Maos, and how they change and operate. This is the first time I've seen Google really address this, and for the first time, I am proud to say that t...
Hey Laowinners!
Watch this video first - https://youtu.be/yCnnPf2OnHo
I hope you enjoy this old school throwback format of Laowhy86 where we talk about Wu Maos, how they are changing, and how they influence us someti...

After experiencing Europe, and seeing multilingualism in daily life, I asked my parents, "why didn't you promote language learning in my ea...
Hey Laowinners!
This Chinglish t-shirt brought me back to the times of being at my babysitter in California, and hiding under a table crying while being called "no eyebrow boy". I wasn't bullied after age 5, but it's funny that I can still remember those days.
It got me to thinking ab...
Hey Laowinners!
While China has recently been cracking down on Christianity, and much more so, Islam, there have been some recent developments with the Catholic church that point to some form of cooperation.
Interestingly enough, the Chinese constitution allows for freedom of religion,...
Hey Laowinners!
Mooncake season is abound, and we have been getting boxes of them sent to us from family members. I don't consume sweets or carbs unless I am traveling somewhere new, but I have had my fair share of mooncakes.
The traditional mooncake has a fruitcake like texture, and i...
Hey Laowinners!
Thought I'd share this funny update on the Sweden "human rights" abuses scandal.
It's now been elevated to the level of MFA (Ministry of Foreign Affairs), which is not only laughable, but it gets better. The leader of China's MFA, Wang Yi, asked the Swiss to apologize....
Hey Laowinners!
So this is all over the news. Chinese tourists in Sweden are "harassed" by the police, and human rights against Chinese people in Sweden have been violated. If you haven't read any articles about this, click the link above.
Basically, some Chinese tourists showed up mu...
Hey Laowinners!
I found this pretty fascinating. This is a guide for American military in 1942 who would potentially be visiting China. This is pre-communist era stuff, but surprisingly a ton of it holds up today.
Really reminds me of my grandfathers stories of when he was stationed i...
Hey Laowinners!
Winston and I have received hundreds of requests to film Conquering Western China to round out the series as a final part of the Conquering trilogy. The first two series have met with fantastic reviews, and awesome feedback so far, but I wanted to address why, at this current ...
Hey Laowinners!
A massive scandal has broken, where a pregnant women has found a dead rat in her hotpot. This isn't really that out of the ordinary, but the problem is that it was at a top level food safety rated establishment.
The worst part was (this has not proven to be true as of y...
Hey Laowinners!
For those of you who don't know who Fan Bing Bing is, she's pretty much the most famous actress in China. There is a very strange thread I was reading in Chinese (now removed on Weibo of course) that kind of predicted her disappearance, saying that the current leadership in Ch...
Hey Laowinners!
Cheers for all of the suggestions, this is one of many Patreon requested videos. Will be released next week.
Enjoy the early release!
Keep those questions coming to the inbox, I answer Monday - Friday.
Thank you for your continued support!
Hey Laowinners!
I am releasing a video about the things you need to prepare health wise before moving or traveling to China (one of MANY Patreon requested videos I shot/am shooting!), and I am using a part of this clip to show some things to look out for, but I’m sure YouTube wouldn’t let me r...

Hey Laowinners,
The inbox has been full of people asking for more details about when I got arrested in China, but most of them are asking about Vivi's uncle haha.
So in case you didn't watch, a condensed form of the story is in order.
Taxi driver hits my wife. I punch taxi driver. B...
Hey Laowinners!
In case you didn't know, I answer all inbox messages Monday through Friday on a daily basis.
One very silly mistake I made was that I often forget that there is a community tab where a TON of you have posted on asking for things. I am answering these today. I wanted to ...
Hey Laowinners!
First of all, thanks for you guys pointing out some typos in my video. Now I can fix them!
Second of all, the funniest thing I have seen all week is this video. I had no idea that the internet censorship board that controls the great firewall of China was so public. I ...
Hey Laowinners,
I will be releasing this video tomorrow, so I figured I'd drop it a bit early here.
I am a bit behind on editing, as these edits are taking 2 or 3 days at the minimum now haha.
I found it fascinating to see global perception of countries like what China thinks o...
Hey Laowinners!
I posted this the other day on social media, and wanted to give some perspective on it.
There is a notion that asian countries tend to be more chauvinist than western countries. The idea is that the man goes to work, makes the money, and the woman is the house wife, wh...
Hey Laowinners!
Sorry, had to pull the video I posted last night, I have some things to fix first.
I wanted to address something that a few of you have asked me about, and that is, if you were to spend a year abroad, specifically in Asia, would you choose China, Taiwan, Japan, or Sout...
Hey Laowinners!
This article may either tickle your fancy, or just make you sad. Oliver, a French dude was jogging while helping people pick up litter in Huidong, which is the beach town you always see in my videos.

On the road in Taiwan! We decided to finally make a vid on how we actually met, and what happened to Churchill customs. Winston did an early release on his Patreon about how to do a trip like we do http://patreon...
