the one good buzzfeed video
p
Use additional capital letters while they are tax free
I love this story, because it couldn't get any more human than this. It has funny moments, sentimental ones, excitement and a sense of wonder. It shows that on a profound level every human being wants to connect to the other, regardless of race or their different cultures. It also shows that anything can happen and life never stops surprising you. It's one of the best stories out there!
The thing is, America still dehumanizes China and Chinese people when most are good people who go out of their way to help some foreigner.
Do you realize this story is fake?
@@lfarru once a story is formed it is no longer 'fake' in the sense of how it might affects its audience. Is the Harry Potter world 'fake'? Might be but it doesn't mean it cannot change lives, form opinions, touch people's minds.
This was a great story and should be a movie. Like the person who posted this comment we are replying too said; it has comedy, sense of wonder, sentimental moments, and action.
imagine one day, you're in america. just your average guy.
then the next, you're a celebrity in china.
what
I mean anything can happen lmao
For some reason, Chinese like taking pictures with foreigners regardless of who you are (as long as you look different in some way I think). I'm 6ft 2 / brown...We went to multiple places and in rural areas, had mid-aged women taking photos...and couples taking photos next to me and then in Shanghai, this guy stops me and wanted to take a photo - Generally, the older Chinese who probably have not travelled out of China (I'm guessing?) tend to do that. They're very happy people - China is a lot of fun (if you don't get involved in the politics/government stuff and stick to experiences with normal people and not merchants in China)
The first semi-normal person to appear on buzzfeed EVER.

The fact that it doesn't have Chinese captions is unbelievable.

Well... mainland China doesn't allow people to watch CZcams, right? So the only reason for them to have captions in mandarin would be for other places... kinda useless
@@MinttMeringue still could be used in hongkong or taiwan though! and people will use vpns on the regular too, like if academics need to do research for example. there are still plenty of chinese subbed things on youtube!

“He made everyone disappear” brother orange is part of the Chinese mafia
How tf do people be this lucky
*smells like me*
That's why you should never regret any events in your life, good or bad. You call him lucky, right? But the story starts with his phone being stolen. Life is not simple, good things do not always lead to good consequences, same as bad things not always lead to bad consequences. There is no pattern. Therefore, whenever something bad happens to you, do not get upset... who knows, maybe that bad event will lead you to the best story and experience of your life.
Have you noticed how this happends to about every buzzfeed member... seems kinda fake, but so real...
Sounds like 4 chan

The last part really got me. That feeling you have after a long trip of being in a new place with so many different experiences and new amazing people you meet on the way. The beautiful memories you made that changed your life forever. You just want it to keep going 😭😭
SOFIA SILVA V. That’s exactly how I felt in Italy ❤️
This reminds me of a Chinese fable:
Sāi Wēng lived on the border and he raised horses for a living. One day, he lost one of his prized horses. After hearing of the misfortune, his neighbor felt sorry for him and came to comfort him. But Sāi Wēng simply asked, “How could we know it is not a good thing for me?”
After a while, the lost horse returned and with another beautiful horse. The neighbor came over again and congratulated Sāi Wēng on his good fortune. But Sāi Wēng simply asked, “How could we know it is not a bad thing for me?”
One day, his son went out for a ride with the new horse. He was violently thrown from the horse and broke his leg. The neighbors once again expressed their condolences to Sāi Wēng, but Sāi Wēng simply said, “How could we know it is not a good thing for me?” One year later, the Emperor’s army arrived at the village to recruit all able-bodied men to fight in the war. Because of his injury, Sāi Wēng’s son could not go off to war and was spared from certain death.
This reminds me of CIA Despacitwo
The neighbours once again went to sāi wēng to congratulate him and he said 'how do I know this is not a bad thing for me?'
Sāi wēng's son later shot him in the heart for being so goddam philosophical
0..0
His leg was still broke a year later🤔
Eloise Cooper 🤣
Imagine going to another country and it’s like another dimension where you’re famous. I would stay forever.

It’s crazy how people make connections because of those little things that happened
In 2013 I randomly decided to quit my job and moved to China. I was 24 and had finished university, started working and just never really took a break, so I just decided to up and quit my job, gave up my apartment and just took off to China. I'm back home now, but that place is another world thats almost impossible to explain, in the best way possible. This video brought back so many good memories!
I wish more people can accept Chinese cultures like you... Many of them would rather yell about dictatorship and dog eating.
I'm learning Mandarin on my own on the side of school. I've been to China and it's the most surreal place ever, but I love it so much because of that. This video was awesome and brought back a ton of good memories.

So how did Brother Orange's cousin get the phone?
The guy who stole it probs gave it to him for cash
He probably got sold it for quite cheap. Used phone stores generally means stolen phone store. Whether the owner knows, or not.
so his cousin were bought back then in the US?
I think it will go on like this. Some guy stole it from the Restaurant, sold it in the blackmarket. Phone got shipped to China. And his brother probably bought it from some reseller back home.
sounds like a crazy coincidence, especially that he is a buzzfeed employee

I went to China with my school and everywhere we went we go asked for photos and people swarmed us with cameras and it was so mental omg. we aren't even famous or anything but I think it was just because we were basically just a group of 40 white british 15 year olds. a very crazy experience to say the least...
I had a similar experience in Romania.
I think it's beautiful to see different cultures experience each other for the first time.
itsmaisyjane Most tourists to Chinese hotspots are from parts of China that have hardly ever seen a white person, so yeah it’s a big deal for them.
I was there with my school a teacher and his class took pictures with me.
Yeah I’m Chinese and my partner from a German exchange program told me the exact same thing, after his visit to another school. And I was like “oh well... um... it’s what happens here in China” 😅 there isn’t that many white people in most of China and some people just have the mindset that “foreign people” usually look gorgeous, that’s all.
