    It makes me so happy to see an Asian CZcamsr sharing their Chinese heritage! As much as I adore Korean/Japanese culture, Chinese culture doesn't get as much love on CZcams or in the media in general. Thanks for being a positive influence in the space :)
    P.S. I didn't get to say goodbye to my grandmother in Beijing because of covid, I hope you're cherishing every moment with your family.

    With CZcams banned in China, it's great to see content that shows typical life in China. Props to the triple threat of speaking in English, Mandarin and Cantonese. Same 3 languages as me, although my Mandarin is pretty bad still.

    I don't see too many vlogs about daily life in China, so this was super cool! are most people speaking cantonese or mandarin in guangzhou?

      Mandarin is universal.
      Each region also has its own dialect. There is a saying in China called "Ten miles of different sounds, a hundred miles of different languages"
      There are tens of thousands of languages in China. Cantonese is just one of them.
      China from ancient times to the present. All have different official languages. But the local language has not changed.
