    OMG!!! Lenny , I just found you by chance... I studied Language at Fudan for 2 years(a few years before you did) and I was there when HELEN'S opened!!!! there was also ING(a Korean restaurant) next to it. I used to live in the pedestrian street next to that place( XUE FU LU)... Everything has changed so much! thanks for the memories :D:D:D:D

      Hi It’s very awesome to see you enjoying your life in China. I’m from Shandong province and when i saw your video I could feel how you exactly feel. Such amazing excitement has also infused me as I see China has been so highly developed all these years while i was studying in Canada. I enjoy your video, it’s like sharing the same pleasure to see my home country too everywhere^^

    The Yangpu district of Shanghai was undergoing an illegal contruction tearing down project back then. So that’s why you saw many stores alongside those roads were shut down and rebuilt.

    Hi, I am new to your channel. But girl, your way to interpret what you saw with your stories and memories in your video is so refreshing to me that I can't find another video in youtube that has done the same. I am a very nostalgic person (I guess we are the same.) Really really love your video and you as a person. Welcome home in China :)

    I had lived in those dorms back in 2010 when I was a staff of a high school summer camp held in Fudan. I think back then the dorms were for young college instructors. I remember karaokeing with the students at Wujiaochang until the sun rose on the very last day of the camp. So much nostalgia!

  • @balance_dg
    @balance_dg Před 6 lety +1

    I grew up on Zhentong Road, and I really miss it there. Maybe the changes in the past 4 years were crazy (or even depressing looking), but compared the 15-20 years ago, I always find myself in awe. I'm proud of the little Wujiaochang

  • @RhymeMastaMasse
    @RhymeMastaMasse Před 6 lety +1

    Helen's moved I'm pretty sure because it was open when I was there last year, and WE Coffee is the entrance, the cafeteria is still inside if you go in farther. They also sell Korean food now. I was at Fudan in 2017. This was so interesting to see how it changed from your perspective.

  • @sebastianpfeiffersp
    @sebastianpfeiffersp Před 6 lety

    YES!! Thanks you so much for this video. It brought back a lot of good memories. China was always this love/hate thing, but in the end love always takes over. Only thing I missed was the music when walking into family mart. I used to get meishi kafei there EVERY day for like 2 months. Crazy how time flies...

  • @RespectOthers1
    @RespectOthers1 Před 6 lety +15

    This is the video I was most looking forward to watch...not disappointed.
    I really felt your nostalgia and tinge of sadness.
    Regarding your favourite store 'Mom'...after four years, do you think there is a tiny chance of it turning into that 'grandmother' restaurant in your last video? :D

    • @lenny.winter
      @lenny.winter  Před 6 lety +4

    Small fast food shop comes and go all the time in China... Fry chicken was on trend back then, Super Chicken did really good job for surviving that long...
    Also the government had a campaign on cracking down the “违章建筑” in recent years, a lot of small properties are unauthorized construction, and that's why some of them are gone.

    They always say don't wait, just travel, because you never know when you'll have another opportunity...but with China, you've got to travel now because if you wait, it'll be completely different. Like this vlogger keeps finding out.

    Ms Awesome you are totally awesome and please don't be sad. I know what you feel. Being a native Shanghainese, I had my daycare long gone, primary school still around. high school was a public school but privatized and moved to suburb, my sr middle school was merged and also relocated. My entire childhood is almost wiped out. And I am the lucky guy who still have one school intact coz my wife had nothing left even her university was merged to TongJi University. Shanghai downtown has changed so much that I can barely recognize it.

  • @BarackBananabama
    @BarackBananabama Před 5 lety +1

    Your life rocks. Judged by the shaking and vibrating movements. I visit Shanghai every year for the past three years. Probably not too many earthquakes. And by the way, Fudan's cafeteria is miserable. You have to go south and eat at Tongji's!

    @susiea3704 Před 6 lety

    Helen's is still there, they just took down the big sign on the roof. The little supermarket in the main building of the dorm is still there too, the funny little coffee shop is attached to it. The sad closed off section is still sad and closed off. And that cafeteria is still there, it just has that We Coffee place on the side. I'm writing this from my dorm room on the 8th floor!

    I'm emotionally attached to that closed family mart too. Had illness and stayed at that hospital for 2 weeks and that family mart is where I go everyday. The whole street looks like they want to do renovation but can't decide what to do. So now it looks like this.

    You need a wide-angle lens to film that tall-and-wide building. Alternatively, you can take still photos of different sections and use software to stitch them together. My final choice would be to use a drone to move backwards over obstacles and take a video that way.
