Hey Laowinners!
The other day I was sent this short video of a children's day performance where the kids put on a mock war of anti-Japanese resistance.
At first glance, the gut instinct is to think that this is a needless act of simulated violence teaching hate to children. However, the war did...
Hey Laowinners!
I totally forgot to post the video I made with Vivi's reaction to the first time she went to Chinatown in NYC. It was pretty funny, not just for her, but for me.
The Chinese diaspora was interesting in the USA, as different pockets of Chinese in different areas in the USA wer...

Hey Laowinners!
So it was the anniversary of the Tiananmen square massacre two days ago, and I often get asked, what do Chinese people think of what happened there?
First off, it is important that most schools or people won't even acknowledge what happened there. The slight chance tha...
Hey Laowinners!
I was asked a quite a few times, do I read, what do I read, or what books might inspire me to make videos etc.
To answer that succinctly, I read A LOT, specifically a ton of audiobooks.
I grew up reading a lot of fantasy, but as the time went on, and I became intere...

Hey Laowinners!
Vices. We all have them. Surprisingly, many of the things that you relied on back home change quite a bit after moving abroad, especially to China.
For me, I loved Scotch whiskey, Canadian beer, golf and sports cars.
These things were simply unattainable in ...

Show all your friends how little you care with your hot new Chabuduo T-shirt. You've probably heard me say this a million times, but Chabuduo 差不多 means "almost" o...
Hey Laowinners!
Vivi just posted a video about what types of people join the military in China.
In a scene we couldn't talk about, she mentioned friends that are rich because of their military connections.
This is most definitely the case. There are people we heard about that have 10 c...

I then continued to smoke until I was about 26, and quit when I got married (yeah yeah... the vape helped).
The funny thing is that when I moved to Taiwan from China for a year...
Hey Laowinners!
Every time I visit the USA, I realize how much I've missed cars. Sure, I have cars in China, but China's car culture is mostly show off/utilitarian.
Cars, to many people, are hunks of metal that get you from point A to point B, but for me and my friends, they've been pa...

Hey Laowinners!
As you all probably know, me and Winston are big fans of the devils drink. While looking through the Conquering Southern and Northern China, episodes I thought back to the many promises made in China for an alcohol to "not give you a hangover", and "you won't get a headache from th...

Hey Laowinners!
A word Winston and I throw around all the time is "cha bu duo" or 差不多。
You can pronounce it like cha (as in cha cha) boo dwoh.
This word literally means, "almost", but I like to think of it as "good enough".
This phrase is thrown around in daily spee...

Hey Laowinners!
Normally I would take the US state department semi-seriously, at least for travel warnings, as I am a US citizen, but this one is a bit much.
"The U.S. State Department issued a health warning this morning to U.S. citizens in China after an American gove...

Hey Laowinners!
People often ask me about the cultural differences between my adopted home of China, and my home country of the USA. These are constantly highlighted in my videos, but what about in my relationship with my wife, Vivi?
Vivi and I tend to see eye to eye on most things. Un...
Hey Laowinners!
In amusing news today, a drunked foreigner at 5 AM in Shanghai was removed from riding the bull statue at the bund, and the internet is abuzz with saying that it is me. Hopefully this rumor will die a quick death lol.
I guess he does look like me...
Thanks a lot, dou...
Hey Laowinners!
I don't know if you are interested in this, but my parents never want to be on camera, however, my dad obliged to review these two MRE rations. It's funny to see what he liked vs. me and Vivi.
Thanks for your support and welcome all new Patreons.
Vivi and I appreciat...

Hey Laowinners!
Today I wanted to mention a lighthearted, yet annoying thing.
Recently, some middle aged Chinese lady tourists in Vietnam were forced to change their clothing after wearing the infamous 9 dash line map of China, which claims resource rich areas off of the coast of Vietnam....
Hey Laowinners!
Weirdly enough, Uber has a strange story in China. It was basically taken down by a domestically grown competitor, DiDi. DiDi has now entered the vernacular of Chinese people, and it's absolutely insane on how many people use it now. So through government help, DiDi managed to...

Laowinners,
Dealing with this right now, but I wanted you all to know first.
Thank each and every one of you for your support. Love, Vivi, C-Milk and Baby Liv

I have to say, I am pretty blown away with the help you guys put out with the IMDB BS. You guys are truly appreciated, and I really feel like I am lucky to have a community backing me, Winston, and my family. I appreciate each and every one of you.

Hey Laowinners,
Let's be real for a second.
Some very immature haters decided to attack our IMDB pages for Conquering Northern and Southern China with fake reviews. It was obviously a team effort to bring our scores down, and I suspect I know which Reddit community did it. The same ones who d...

Hey Laowinners,
I am super pumped to release to you guys early, the first behind the scenes video for Conquering Northern China. We have a ton of content, self filmed stuff, and lots of scenes that didn't make the final show.
That is not to say that stuff isn't good, but we had time const...
Hey Laowinners! I was going through things I haven't edited, and I found this other half of our trip over Christmas to NYC. I took Vivi to Chinatown for the first time, and I wanted to film her reaction and experience.
Also thought you guys might be pumped to know I am working on...
Hey Laowinners!
How are you guys doing? A ton of people in the Patreon messages asked me about retirement, welfare, and all the other benefits that people in China get under a "communist" government.
In this vid, Vivi and I chat about that very subject! Enjoy!
Hey Laowinners!
If you haven't seen this, warning... it's bad.
So I was on my channel looking for a video, and sorted from oldest to newest. I can't believe what I found. I had totally forgotten that I had at one point, was asked to join the Inner Mongolia University Olympics as the on...
Hey Laowinners!
Thank you to Steven, a very generous Patreon for the awesome video idea!
Me and Vivi go head to head on a China knowledge based quiz to see who knows more about the middle kingdom.
Loser has a punishment!
Was fun to make. Let me know if you like these kind of vi...
