- Beggar gangs are notoriously bad here in China, tied to organised crime and human trafficking, I had a run in with a leader of one of these gangs over the Chinese New year, and I think it's important to tell you all the story...

I'm sure those dislikes don't know what he is taking about and disliked jut because they see "chinese" and "thug" in the same sentence and felt offended.
They think he hates China although he is just being honest and shedding light on some of the unsavoury aspects of the country. That doesn't sit well with the tin soldier party members.
Yes, There are a lot of them do this all the time.
The dislikes are because nobody likes to listen to someone drink a beer on camera. Seriously, the sound of swallowing, saliva, and deep inhales are like nails on a chalkboard.
Steven Hershberger I guess I can see how that would be a problem. This would mean they are new, they should probably not watch anymore of his videos.
eric jacobs your disgusted by someone drinking beer? People are fucking stupid.
I don't know why Winstons channel is not growing faster. Great channel Winston, fan forever.
Because it has good content.
I don't think Mr. Serpent is catering to a mass audience. To me, there's a direct correlation between popularity and lack of integrity. What I mean is, he's probably not afraid of losing his following, because the people that are here want to be here. If he had 2-4 million followers, he might start to compromise himself to please that large group.
I miss TV channels like Discovery and History. I think Winston could have easily fit in there (or the travel channel?) during the 90s and early 00s.
You get get 20 extra years for jay walking if China finds out you are a subscriber.
Lol yes you do
The destruction of Chinese history was so horrific, just thinking about it makes me feel pretty empty.
I think they maimed themselves by so doing it so to speak..regrettable.
It's coming to.the West, courtesy of the most illegal and horrific policies ever devised......Post war immigration policies.
@Slave of Jesus sorry that's not what happened. Yes there was destruction of idolatry but not history, not even Catholic history.
Unfortunately this problem of organized beggars seems to occur worldwide. As you say it is best to not feed the industry.
when i was visiting China, I was out in a bar on the street celebrating my birthday. my friend had bought me a pair of unicorn balloons and we were having a great time, when one of those poor little girls came up to sell us roses. it was about 1am and this young girl was being herded around by a woman to sell flowers. i told her i didn't want to buy a rose, but i wanted to give her a balloon, and we had a quick chat about which one she wanted and i tied it to her wrist so it wouldn't fly away and she looked so happy as she left but the woman watching her was pissed off.
That story made me oddly emotional. That poor kid. Gj hooking her up with a unicorn balloon!
THEY DISFIGURE KIDS!?! That's is absolutely horrible, I don't know if I could handle that. If I knew for sure that happened to a kid, somebody would be getting some vigilante justice.
There are similar gangs here in Malaysia. Or at least that's what I believe.
Yeah they’re in Malaysia, take good care of your children be careful... they can’t speak Malay or English, but perfect Chinese with China slang
I firat saw this in the film slumdog millionaire great film but such a terrible thing to do to anybody let alone a child
Happens in 3rd world countries all the time. Very unfortunate.
dont take this as criticism but living in a third world it sometimes astonishes me how naive people of the west are because they live such sheltered lives. These horrors happen all the time . young children begging in the streets even at midnight what does a 7yr old boy on his own do outside this time of the night? Here it is normal.Violent armed robberies, blowing up cash in transit vans . Hardley makes the papers it is an common daily occurence. We are not even surprised or shocked when a business down the road gets attacked we shrug our shoulders and say thanks it was not me this time. We go on with our lives and try to survive. And here I talk about personal experience what I litterally experience every day I step out of my heavely fortified home steel bars on all windows, steel security gates on all doors even steel gates inside the house to protect us against intruders, electrical wiring on the 2 meter high wall around my house. alarms to the quick response security company. Forget about the police they might or might not show up 2 days later maybe . And dont think it happens only in the bad areas its exactly the same in the affluent suburbs.
After a couple years I stopped giving money to beggars here in Sydney after watching them pocket the stash and continue. Also 5 years later, same person, same problems. Not even disabled. No excuse not to work in Sydney and there is help for housing people. So now, nup.. I earned my money.
I live near Sydney and when I go to Sydney I mostly do the same stuff every time I go there and I see the same beggars every time I go there I know life is hard but they need to try harder
I work in healthcare and many of the people I meet through this work will beg in the inner cities of Melbourne & Sydney. They make soooo much money. Its crazy. I know drug users who beg and it goes to what they earn. Even buskers make a lot of money. I'm shocked people are happy to give money to beggars but don't like to donate to charities. People who give money to beggars are enablers. If you donate to charities, as long as it is a transparent, reputable charity, the money will filter back to the people. Giving money directly towards a beggar goes towards drugs, alcohol or junk food. Buy someone a healthy meal at the Hare Krishna restaurant Crossways if you're at Melbourne, its only $5 for all you can eat curries with vegetables, custard + halava deserts and drinks... all for $5 dollars (if the person is homeless they should have a concession entitlement). Its a few more dollars for those without concession, but still the best place for homeless in Melbourne. Even better - if you want a free meal (because you are homeless) they will let you volunteer and help, and give you a free meal!
I don't have a problem giving a few coins to a busker though if they're good and not just causing noise pollution. They're out there for hours actually trying to do something they're good at for money and if their playing is good it can add a nice atmosphere to your walk into work. I know of one guy in particular who's often playing in the city. Almost certainly due to his age he's retired, but he plays a variety of instruments from what looks like some kind of traditional string instrument to an accordian and he's really talented.(I've heard all sorts of recognisable classical music being played by him.) Good on him if he can make some extra cash to supplement his retirement and it wouldn't shock me if he can make enough to live on doing that as he's often out there for hours at a time multiple days a week. There's another guy who has buckets and crates and things and plays the drums on them. Again unusual and he's quite good and often has a smile for passers by even though he doesn't look well off. If they're allowed to play there (which given the number of police around I'd say they are) why not support them from time to time. I prefer to give food rather than money to beggers through when possible. I find it distressing if you give someone money for "food" and they walk straight into the shop behind them and come out with a packet of smokes instead. Better to support places like Vinnies, salvos or other charities that help those in need directly.
We say it is better to give than receive.
The only reason they give is to receive.
@serpentza, I admire your bravery. In China most people won't take such risk to challenge these thugs. Almost everyone becomes cynical and maintains a mind-my-own-business mentality. I just discovered your channel here during my search for objective and insightful channels to show my non-Chinese girlfriend (I'm Chinese) how China is really like. Your videos present a great outsider perspective while grasping the reality rather successfully -- I do disagree with one or two of your observations though. I am a fan now and thank you very much for your work!
+韩彧 thanks mate, I appreciate the comments and glad you like some of my videos
NWO funded NGOs are paying good money for such biased videos, why not risk it ? .... you should applause China for their tolerance
@@maniaouri2146 shutup Wumao. Enjoy your 4¥
@@doodoobrown7551 I sincerely hope one day you will be capable of a civilized dialog for conducting conversations with civilized people.
im a chinese myself, living in canada for almost 2 decades. i guess i can say i know both western and chinese culture. in china ppl know these ppl exists, and usually ppl just ignore them, yes it disgusting using children to make money. but if u talk or take picture of them it can get dangerous, specially these organized beggars can get aggressive.
x zhou thx man, I don't know this. however, do the Chinese police do something about it?
Possibly American police are better but black people will have another opinion. And now with Trump politics is becoming very aggressive. I would not be surprised if protests escalate into police violent clashes as in the 1960s but worse because freedoms in America have been scaled back since 9-11 and surveillance increased. US citizens do not have the same rights they had 50 years ago. Who knows what an emotionally unstable Trump will do triggered by a headline or tweet that annoys him.
You said NEVER give money to others ( I hope you end up homeless, I really do, it would teach you about reality) even though giving money to charities is as the authorities attempt to criminalize compassion is worse as these rich criminals go to balls ot show off while 90+% of donated money never gets to those needing the help (See Ricky Gervaise making fun of this on the Golden Globes).
Of course there are disgusting gangs but there are those POOR INDIVIDUALS to who you could show some humanity but I would imagine such ideas are totally foreign to you.I am not all anti Trump but he is no more honest (see Trump University) than lying Hillary. They are both greedy oligarchs!
why did you put "america" in quotations? that seems wierd, huh. well yeah you have a point otherwise
wow that turned racist pretty fast, well can you please tell me when you were born? has to have been before the 60's if you're not used to black people

So some of the effects of Mao's Cultural Revolution was to make the Chinese people more shallow and materialistic as well as being less religious and reverent of their old ways.

For me in Texas, its always people asking for gas money at the gas station, like at least once a month.
Special EDy wow. hard to believe
I am asked for money everyday in London :-/
Yep, here in utah too!
You look too approachable then, i stare daggers though people when they make eye contact and they generally dont approach
Yes. So annoying. Happens to me in LA and Chicago all the time.
10:41 ... "Buskers are a different story, feel free to support them.
*The only bad thing they do is hurt your ears with their sometimes awful music.*" hahahahahahahaha, absolutely hilarious! Nice one.
I agree with you since I consider that doing work to earn your cash.
Hey, one of your newer subs here. Been subbed for just two weeks. The intro with the synthwave, neon lights and high rise buildings really sets the mood and is what drew me in.
+YouCanHasAccount thanks for that
Thank you for sitting down and having a beer with me while I watch you talk about your amazing life in China. :) Keep up the good work!
I really appreciate this video. No matter what certain people say, I feel that you're just "telling it like you see it", you're a straight-shooter, and while I may not always agree with you, or think you're a perfect person. I appreciate your sincerity and authenticity. You'll probably never read this comment as this video is over a year old. If you do, though, one day read it, I hope you smile.
You need a video recording sunglasses.
He ll get into a lots of troubles if he happens to be caught with a spying camera equipment,

Can you explain the airport taxi scam? The one where you hop in a taxi and after a few minutes down the road they make you change taxi
It happened to me when I visit Thailand. No harm to me, but wasted my time and money.
Phil_Insane just dont talk to them. They scam anyone not just foreigner. Take Uber or DIDI or normal cab.

Those scammers should be jailed for life
Stood in bed for 8 hours watch all of your videos and not disappointed on a single one. Very informative and accurate in all of your videos. On behalf of tourists and myself who would like to visit China, THANK YOU!
Thanks, Winston. I wished I took your advice earlier. I am the type who always give money to beggars but will certainly ignore them on my next trip. As a UK Chinese, i do feel a sense of guilt when I visit China.
Seems everyone I've met from Taiwan is way more religious (Buddhist) and culturally aware than mainland people. It's sad because much of the craftsman, artist, and poetry have been lost.
those thing are still there...even some only exist in mainland that taiwanese have to learn from mainlander,though...
taiwanese is way more religious because most of them are from the group of minnanese chinese. minnanese are basically one of the most religious one in all chinese. the minnanese in mainland are even more religious than taiwan minanese,though.
and btw, not buddhism,but the religion which mix with some buddism.and it is also kind of closer with apatheism.
DavidRsaid seriously?Singapore? you know most chinese from all over the word who still keep the chinese culture all agree with the fact that singapore chinese are way to western and lack of chinese culture,right? everyone knows that they are banana. and some of them are even pround of that.
and hongkong is not a good example,too.they are way to western,and not chinese enough. but at least they are better than singapore chinese. most mainland cantonese are even more traditional than hk cantonese,though.
taiwan may be a good example,but most of the tradition culture are not traditional at all.some of them are even fake.
all chinese had that time losing the culture. no one is save from those day when chinese is in the bottom.
***** yep,but the saddest true is that many chinese(not just mainland chinese) look down of them and dont think they are as good as you think.
***** wat,is that some kind of joke?i think even most hongkonger will disagree with you.
The best thing that the communist party ever did was its secularism.
I think the intro and exit clips are fine
just like your slogan
just part of developing your brand
and they keep getting better as you gain more experience
i also enjoy the 80's music either way
these vids are really relaxing to listern too while im falling asleep man.. haha its like being told a bedtime story!lol :P :P :P :D
I really like these videos with you sitting down, drinking a beer and talking about things, although they are better if you do them in public, I hope you can do these more often :)
I don't know why people are whining about you drinking a beer. Ignore them. The story was great, keep bringing us these real stories. I would do an opening intro, but maybe cut it a little shorter than some of your longer intros. Keep up the good work!
Garrett S. don't care if he drinks as much as he wants it's just really annoying slurping it up every minute or so
Hello mate, I try to avoid making videos like this in Thailand where I mention on corruption and police-criminal collaboration because I could face deportation for defamation. Is that not a risk for you in China? We have a similar thing going on over here with the human trafficking.
Stay safe man.
That makes sense to me Thelondonbadger, I think Winston's channel can only grow so I thought that'd be the risky part of things - like this could boomerang back one day like the article Winston had written about him before.
I get the whole standing up for what's right thing, I just mean perhaps one should be careful how they present it. I don't think Winston's done anything wrong here at all by the way and he's right to warn folk about the beggar gangs - it's the same scam here in Thailand and all over the world.
Tales From Thailand, You should expose the corruption that plagues thailand, Don't be afarid of those pl
Stay anonymous and expose
I think the people he is talking about do not have the 关系}-{guān xì) to cause trouble for him
Tales From Thailand have
Love the drone shots, but you are right about getting straight to the meat of the video. If people leave before the drone shot, then you lost them anyway. If they stick around for the entire video, then they get a bonus at the ending.
Stay awesome, brother. (and keep on keeping it real)
Yep very much enjoyed having a beer with you mate. Very unpretentious but informative. Thanks
I think that a blazing fireplace with a throw rug and possibly a rocking chair would go well with story telling. It would also be nice to pan back at the end and see the beggar's head mounted on the wall with a plaque from the Chinese police thanking you for helping to keep the streets clean.
Your story also gives some perspective when I think back on the older Chinese B movies where beggars played roles, and seeing how they were treated by local Chinese of the time. Some of Jackie Chan's old movies feature beggars who surprisingly turn out to be people of good character and awesome martial arts skills. Sadly those are just movies now.Even the best people have some scum.
That Sasha went back with a thank you contribution speaks well of her and others like her.
I once see a very young girl begging along the street in the center of the city( at my hometown), and when I try to talk to her, she tried to avoid me and it seems like she is scared of something. I soon realized that there is a middle aged woman watching us from the other side of the street, dressed dirty and scrappy just like the young girl did. So I walked away a little distance and starting to watch their behavior. the woman walked to the girl and started talking to her, I wasn't sure whether they are mother and daughter or not. So I take pictures of them with my cellphone and when to the police standing nearby. Sadly the police won't do anything about it. Totally disappointed with our government.
Many are kidnapped. You should take photos and post online
Same here, seems they just stand by, doing nothing to avoid trouble and work ! Very sad,especially if you think of the poor parents who might have lost their child ! Can not imagine what they must go through !
Great story, reminiscent of Oliver Twist. I'm happy to know you're willing to expose these people. And, so glad your wife found you & you found her! Love the ending montage. Happy New Year!
I love the song with the "Stay Awesome" tape! Don't scrap it, please!!! Also, I am currently in Guangzhou but will soon be moving to Shenzhen! I love watching your videos while in China. It's like having a conversation with a fellow foreigner. Stay awesome, Winston!
what you say is not true.. chinese have 3 gods with a name and a different rank:
3. money
2. money money
1. money money money
Mor Munny.
The drone-shoots and music in the end works fine I think.
Agreed.
I love the drone shots.
A few years ago, when I was in a KFC in China with my father, we saw a little boy and a little girl, aged around 7, came in and begged for money from the customers there. What really impressed me was that my father gave the boy our chicken popcorn but refused to give any money.
The children were probably trafficked here and forced to go out begging. They wouldn't get the money that they got, but they would have a chance to eat the chicken popcorn.
I didn't know what happened to them later, whether they ate it or not, because we left after that, but I feel truly sad for these children - like the boy you talked about in the video, it's so unfair to them. They should've enjoyed their childhood and gotten an education.
Beggars story is so true and hated them, this is why I don't travel to Southern China so unsafe. Thank you for sharing the story and be safe!
You are doing good work here ! Keep it up !
I love your channel! Keep making more videos.
Another great video showing reality in China! My wife is Chinese (from Zongshan) love the country and Culture,unfortunately we live in the UK.
The Visa system not too good for UK citizens at the moment having to renew every year would be a pain.
Keep them coming
I really enjoy the drone footage. You've shown us some amazing sights of China. Thank you for that and for all your hard work.
I like the gratuitous done montages and the 80s music :D
Winston, my opinion is that the music montage is best at the front. You can start the video and give an intro about a topic and switch to the Montage and then continue with the video. :)
Vishu Vicenta I agree with you.
That sounds like a good idea.
I respectfully disagree. I prefer no intros longer than a second or two, otherwise I skip them. The delay and likely repetition of a jingle for every video is a holdover from old media that is unnecessary in my opinion. Different strokes for different folks of course. Have a good one.
Absolutely agree. Lots of CZcamsrs do that and it satisfies both opinions!
I am with MC. Music Intro's to every video make me noxious, but I definitely understand why people would like it. In my opinion that is more for daily Vlog type stuff, not informative Vlogs like this, just my 2 cents. Cheers.
Always very pleased to find a Serpentza video I’ve not seen before, always awesome!
Don't underestimate the power of verbal story telling.
My ex wife is Chinese. She scammed me, and tried to scam everyone she came across. It was as though she was working from a script. I was young and naïve, but never again. Single to the end!!!
I guess most ex-wives are bitches and ex-husbands are jerks, regardless of cultures and ethnicities.
Details?
Can you educate us on what happened.
holy shit when did you get 100k subs? Last time I watched your video you only had 85k subs wow your channel grew really fast
I am a brand new subscriber as of yesterdayish. In about a month I will be taking my son to go visit Grandma-in-law in Shangyang. I am sooo thankful to have stumbled on your videos before this trip. Been jotting notes. About 5 pages worth so far. Again, the wealth of experiential knowledge that you have shown me over the last 20 odd hours is certainly appreciated. Much love!
I'm deeply impressed by your commitment to exploring and immersing yourself in a situation which must have literally been a culture shock. Interesting stuff, thanks!
"Feels better than a sledge hammer" Lol
I like what you doing so far. Been subbed for a few years now.
Your depiction of life on the streets in China, including the drone shots, are in essence why I find your videos appealing. I did indeed enjoy the story!
Just found your channel by accident,and found it very interesting and informative.You obviously love the country and it's people and being widely travelled I have come across some of these scams and others it would take a book to fill.Doing a great job mate,all power to you.Stay safe and good luck.
It is not two months ago, my country introduced a law against begging. In order to stop Eastern European gangs.
Denmark Why is it stupid?
Probably because people who don't have much choice, and aren't gang affiliated, will be persecuted for it. And that's being kicked while you're down. Unless the law is more specific than that.
I'm pretty sure Denmark has some of the best Welfare and mental health programs in the world..everyone, with or without an address, is entitled to social security benefits. Although most of them probably don't know this.
There is no living outside, the grid as a Dane. The smallest amount, in Money and aid is approximately 1000 dollas, housing and health care.
Welfare recipient, is pretty good in Denmark. Unemployment in both Denmark and East Europe is low. So why there were large gangs, of young healthy people from East Europe in Danish cities. Police-statistics showed, that they were beggars gangs.
I am not quite sure, whether it extends to street performers (doubtful).
I like the 80s vibe and the Retro Wave music...!
Hi Winston, I've been a subscriber back when you had 30k subscribers. You're an excellent vloger. I know since I'm a CZcams fanatic! I think you're correct about putting your drone shots at the end. Saying goodbye and having the drone fly over your head is a stroke of GENIUS !!! Both previous ideas blend together perfectly! Keep up the good work and STAY AWESOME !!!
Thanks for producing these videos. I am getting more educated about China by watching you, Laowhy86 and your ADV channel :)
If someone do a study, he will find those beggar gang, beggar thugs in China actually has a long history may be couple hundreds years or more. hopefully in the future it will gradually disappeared.
I am not sure they will disappear, it is very very good money, some of them buy the house in Shenzhen or Shanghai with begging money 😂😂
Frank Liu Sound Pikey to me. Lol
Frank--we have them in the United States--they live in parents' basements and come out and throw bricks at peoples' heads and scream and carry on, because they are losing the socialism battle :) true story.
Once again, hope China will get better.... You are doing a beneficial thing to the Chinese Community. Hopefully people do not get hurt by watching this, cause it's the bloody truth. Maybe next time us viewers will see something positive. But, i guess u and C-millk are already passed the honey moon periods long ago, the reality is just not that pretty anymore (like a girl without the glamorous makeup).
Mandy Li I
dont feel ashamed. there are begger gangs around the world, nothing china special.
I honestly wondered how many times the fail-footage happens. I have felt like an idiot too many times only to find out my recordings weren't recording. Glad to know I'm not the only one!
I enjoy the music and the drone footage at the beginning of your videos Winston . Thank you for taking the time to do all of the interesting videos that you do in your travels throughout China and other places of interest .
Winston the Vigilante
I swear you are Jason Statham's brother
He walks the streets of Shenzhen in a suit and bike pedals clipped to his shoes
I think you have really did a good job describing the story. You are actually a good story teller.
As a chinese, i totally agree with you Winston. This is the most disgusting thing that is happening in China. The problem is actually not about the beggar, but the currupted police system in the first place. Hope the current chinese administration do something about it!
serpentza i really enjoy eating my lunch and watching your videos.... im really curious what is on your "Stay Awesome" Tape you have in your intro... i would love it if you could make a Video dedicated to your Stay Awesome tape to show us all whats in it.
he'd have to lash up that VHS player to a computer, LOL. I don't see it happening, but it'd be great if it did
The ugly lesson is that if the Chinese went so bunkers as to destroy their own culture, there is nothing to stop them from sinking into mass madness again. What they did in the past they can do again in the future.
Serpentza, you're doing a good job. Do be careful. Those "despicable" guys might ambush you. Thanks for so much info. I enjoy doing what you do, too, but I'm not half as good. Take care.
You were messing with a drunken Kung Fu master. He erased the footage on your camera so fast you didn't notice.
You can use a Kodak Pix Pro 360 4K Camera that can film in a VR format, just out the CZcams about it, like Your Videos,
@4:17 Praying is begging
Agreed
Your music makes your videos Winston! Thanks for sharing as always. Been following you for 7 years.....
I saw the same elderly woman beggar under the service window at McDonald's in Chongqing over several days. Also a young woman with severe scars on her face on the steps to the subway in Shanghai. Each one seemed alone. Did not help them.
L is my favorite key when watching your videos. I find I press it, a lot. There's no need to take 20 minutes of loud horrid gulping noises of some cheap Chinese beer all to tell a 2 minute story that could be done with standard production quality. Edit: Dear god man, if you're that thirsty, hydrate before filming. I'm not here to listen to you gulping into your lav.
a bit harsh man. If you don't like it you can always choose to move to a different video. nobody's forcing you after all man
Talking about religion I'm starting to interested in religion that has Karma concept and reincarnation because it makes sense in my logic. You punch people you will likely get a punch back. You give more and receive more. Why there are people who were born in rich/poor family, born with one leg, born in a war zone, etc.
Action and reaction "karma" is an absolute law and it doesn't understand morals, doesn't care if you're an atheist, gay, black, white or hispanic person. Some are instant karma and some are not. It's like a boomerang.
If you're a rude, aggresive person or follow aggresive teaching you'll more than likely to attract something similar.
It's like a debt and saving game... When you have a good thing happened to you (some people call it luck) you're using one of your savings and when you're in a bad luck you're paying one of your debt. So, let's fill our saving account instead of creating more debt in other words let's do more something good rather than something bad because you (and all of us) are going to be responsible for all our action.
Some people are just freaked out when it's their turn to pay for their action and will blame this and that.
I'm sorry to burst your bubble, but karma is nothing but wishful thinking. A way to cope with the unfairness and injustice of the real world and an attempt to rationalize inequality (with the disgusting implication that people who get a bad lot in life, like having abusive parents, actually deserve it -- a concept more twisted than that of the original sin, which at least assigns blame equally).
People who jump over themselves to point out when something bad happens to someone who 'deserves' it are as blind as those who believe it was their prayers which helped them out of a bad situation. It is nothing but illusory correlation and confirmation bias.
Someone who wrongs others is just as likely to reincarnate as a cripple as he is to be thrown into a lake of fire. They are ideas that exist to discourage believers from taking justice into their own hands and favor social harmony.
Actually Karma is Quite Newtonian Law
Always Remember the Third Law of Motion
for every force there is a reaction force that is equal in size, but opposite in direction
When I was there I was told to not give them anything also. But it's really hard not to give. You see a person that is totally disabled. But now you have enlightened me to why I shouldn't give.
I've been watching your videos for years and love your 80s style montages.
start the video talking and then cut to the intro 30-40 seconds in, once you've introduced the topic.
eating and drinking during your videos should be ban too! hehe
Drinking and needing to stop talking while you drink, is the most unprofessional thing I have ever seen you do./ I watch your vids but this one with gulping down a beer really sucks, is it a bullshit habit picked-up in China?
Your classic '80s intro had an "iconic" feeling. Its a shame to see this change, but I can understand your concern. Would it be possible to make them longer if they're going to be at the end of the video now?
Too bad you didn’t get the video, thank you for telling the story!
I must start this comment by saying I love all your videos Winston but is there any chance you could take it easy on the whole suit thing? I understand when going out but cmon, do you sleep in that thing? Lol for the casual videos like these at least, I would much rather prefer you dressed more casual... lol and also ignore the idiots complaining about the beer (im biased as an Australian though :p)
+elldeeone haha, sorry mate the suit stays
+serpentza -- Yup, stick with the suit. It separates you from the thousands of other vloggers out there who all look the same.
serpentza keep the suit. and more 80's music please! my mom was a teenager in the 80's so I've grown to love it been hearing it my whole life. Lol Stay safe Winston!!!
serpentza haha fair enough, it's your channel!
elldeeone, What part of his own style do you not understand?
Please don't drink beer on camera. Does NOT sound good...... Otherwise good vid. Thanks.
Vic Caetano he should drink more beer on camera!
Got nothing against drinking beer, I enjoy my beer too, but is sounds so much worse on camera..
Or drink it through a straw.
STFU
People dislike the montage? That's weird. Enjoying the stream. Just got back. The beggars I saw seemed to be faking injuries.
I think the intro's at the beginning are great, I am enjoying every one of these videos and I hope you can continue giving us this window into China. Cheers!
the beer drinking shit should be stopped
+Han Solo why?
Don't watch
i enjoy it. it makes the video more personable and shows winston as a normal human instead of a rehearsed face.
+Han Solo Enjoying a beer is fine. Whingeing and complaining about your host is not. You should be stopped.
Han Solo 🍺I'll drink to that cheers!
my wife and I can't stand your wife's "welcome to another video". Just my 2 cents.
Rayfield Wright relcome ro anorer rideo
I like it. She's beautiful and her smile makes me smile. It's also how most English will sound in China, the country this video is about. Just my 10 máo. (=
Fortunately nobody really gives two shits what you and your wife think.
Made my day with this comment :D. by the way Serpa wife cool.
Some may.
The lesson is,
always check the camera screen if you are recording or not.
I saw a beggar the other day on the subway in Shenzhen. He was asking for money from my girlfriend who is a Chinese citizen. Anyway, this old lady came up to him and gave him money. Apparently it embarrassed him that the old lady did that, and he quickly left the area.
Keep up the great work. Info is great, aerial shots are fantastic, and the music works !
I love the drone shots and the people dancing with the music playing in the background, but; just as soon as I get into it you turn it off and it just takes the wind out of my sails. So; please can you give me just a little bit more at the end it's really cool to see and listen to.
Moving intro to end is a GREAT idea. I wished more would do the same.
I like the music/drone montage at the beginning Winston. You do good work.
I love the drone shots and also the synthwave music. I feel it should be near the start. I think best is to do an intro of what the video will be about (where it makes sense) then go to your open. Your B-roll is pretty great too. From Taiwan, stay awesome.
Good for you. As a Chinese, I know how bad the beggars' gang is. I'm glad you speak of it.
I enjoy the intros, I think it sets the tone for the video. The voice of the unhappy few is always louder than the silent majority.
Great video. Ran across some of this in Guangzhou during my last visit. I love the video montages whether in the front or the back. Either way keep it up. Always love your videos.
Imagine if Chinese abroad were told not to take pictures. Wow that would be quite a story.
Nice video! You mention beggars but how many people in China are homeless? The US homeless population is HUGE.
I suggest changing the picture of the busker at the thumbnail of the video or else people who don't watch the full video will think he's the beggar thug
+Carlos Jimenez his music was awful, so he deserves a bad rep
Seen this a lot in Malaysia, it's really bad. Very important to know about them so you can avoid feeding these criminal gangs that disfigure and disable people for profit.
