- We found a town that is completely gone now. They put in a huge dam project in this area of Hunan, so what you see in this video has not only never been documented, but doesn't even exist now. We hope you enjoy our travels through China, and decided to make some cozy videos about what we see, and feel, and our observations of the area, and translations of the signs etc. We will be heading north soon!
One day, nationalists trolls called us "2 Cheats hit the clown". Try as we might, we never figured out what it meant... So why not profit off of the hate! 2 Cheats Hit the Clown is BACK!!! Get it for a super limited run!

"Unity through nervousness." Thanks for translating for people who do not have a platform.
Your video full of LIES
Proper China experience - much better than all the CCP Shills filtered view
Here one must not question lockdowns and vaccines nor Fauci, nor any Leftist trash!
^Wumao. Deflection doesnt fix your societies problems.
Graffiti has been a source of cultural information since Pompeii. If you want to know a culture, study their profanity..
so true!in Lascaux caves was graffitis,and under influence (booze due to the lack of oxygen!)
Its one perspective on a culture, valid but not complete. It would be like using Twitter to examine western culture.
Egyptians are known to have scribbled on walls, and then Romans defaced some centuries later with their own graffiti.
How did they even write back then?
@@mpforeverunlimited I think with their hands!
团结紧张严肃活泼 is what Winston was seeing... it means “unity tense seriousness and cheerfulness” it’s the paradigm of double think but what they trying to convey is “you need to be unified and finish the work in the commune and then you can have a little fun”
Thank you!
Like 'we're all in this together'. 'Staying apart, keeps us together'
How mental dissociation is that
I have been speaking mandarin my whole life. Still doesn’t make any sense to me.
Now we know where the Demonrats get their inspiration from " you just need to be united and steal the elections and then you can have a little fun selling America to the ChiCom bastards".
My nephew spent a year in China, teaching and traveling with a friend by motorcycle, much like this. The photos he took are spectacular. He also had a tooth infection, in which all these stories about the healthcare system is absolutely true.
22:56 you guys hit a jackpot here! the left side says “团结 紧张” "unity nervous" , the right side of the building says "严肃 活泼" "solemn vivacious". you read them together 团结unity 紧张nervous 严肃solemn 活泼vivacious, Mao wrote this done as the school motto for one of the first CCP military schools. it shows up all over the walls of Chinese military bases.
of course, it makes no sense as the words literally contradict each other. there was a great film scene by 王朔 about a child questioning his teacher about how does one do something both nervous and nervous but somehow vivacious. a masterpiece for sure couldn't find the movie for now.
Thank you！
Thank you!
as someone else has pointed out tense/being on alert is a better translation than nervous here.
@@PatchyE Unity through vigilance?
@@meinbherpieg4723 "through" is a wrong translation. It's just a juxtaposition of four words, no preposition between them.
In NZ its racist to say meth comes from China. A journalist went to china over 10 years ago and bought a sack of ingredients for meth over the counter. No questions asked.
That is true because there is almost no control on medicine in China. You can buy the ingredients and cook the meth yourself. But China also has very strict punishment on drugs: if you cook you can be in prison for whole life or be sentenced to death; a celebrity uses weed, he can ruin his whole career and his name is never to be shown on the media; any movie showing drug use or cook will be forbidden so you cannot make a Chinese version Breaking Bad......
It's just a chemical. Of course China being the leading world manufacturer is going to have lots of ... chemicals.
Meth has always been an epidemic in most of Asia alongside heroin, but meth has overtaken opioids there cause many addicts use it to work more.
One ingredient comes from a very common plant in asia, Ephedra or Ma Huang in chinese but synthetic ephedrine and pseudoephedrine are widely used in medicine around the world. Chinese criminal organizations have a big share on the production and distribution of meth in asia.
I would say though that bath salts and RCs are almost exclusively produced in chinese labs that offer custom synthesis, but their clients who ask for such molecules in bulk are almost always foreign privates.
What isn't racist in New Zealand?
@@GuillotineFistTW lol if you think everything is racist then you should go back to where you came from because no one likes you
This video should've been labeled something like "Footage from a small town in China that's gone". This is now a historical document of a place that no longer exists. :'(
Yes! It looked like they were already preparing for the lake by cutting down the trees and knocking down old buildings.
I lived in Hunan. We all know how it goes in Hunan. 没办法
@@DB-vd3vy I don't, tell me, how it goes?
@@DB-vd3vy yeah how it goes?
This kind of stuff is catalogued by others and the way SerpentZA operates, he probably has all his footage stored somewhere safe, in case something would happen. No need to use CZcams as platform for historic documents, this is just "content".
I taught English in Hunan in 2001, and was driven out to lots of places like this, I see they haven't changed! I was sheltered from a lot of the vice of course, my impression is that it is worsening though looking at this. Well done for all the documenting you are doing about China. I have such fond memories of the people I met there, but I had the same conflicted feelings about a lot of the social structure back then, even in the days before things like social currency etc. The locals then had NO freedoms, and couldn't even travel in the way that I was able to. Few of my students had ever seen the sea, or knew how to swim. One of the days the campus where I taught was empty of students and they came back telling me they had all been to an 'exhibition'. I was later told the truth that it was public executions. We has some visitors to the campus and I had no idea who they were, but was asked to give a speech about the value of study (or something like that), I spoke in English as I was newly arrived. I later found out they were a govt propaganda team going around the country preaching against Falun Gong. Had I known this of course I would not have participated. But the vast majority of humanity in China are decent and kind people, there is an enormous amount of talent in the country. The students there had hard lives but were very impressive. On a visit to one place with another colleague, another foreign English teacher who was older than me at the time, he became friendly with some small children who all took to him. On leaving he tried to give them money through the car window, and they ran alongside the car, proudly returning it back through the window. Not one of them was older than 6. I left a racing bicycle outside of a high street shop in the town where I worked, leant against a post, and then on leaving, I got in a taxi to go home, forgetting I had arrived on the bike. I was probably hungover or something. I remembered it three days later, and went back for the bike. It was still there except someone had slightly moved it so it was out of the way.
Stories like this will save humanity Keep Sharing
Generally speaking in my experience, most people are really awesome and kind, no matter what country I’ve been in.
U taught English is already not a credible way to start off when one kept reading yr post… so sorry
@@marktn9851 lol, i thought i was the only one who thought that, and i'm not a native english speaker.
@@wen771127 anybody with elementary school skills can teach english in China.
They don’t care about grammar, they just want to learn how to talk.
Being a real expert is something unwanted in China.
I like how you two get "in character" with your riding jackets to view past footage.
This episode has lots of deep lore.
That's what we thought! Glad you liked it
Totally 💯
Oh it runs deep, all right.
I liked the episode with the pirate arc better. It sucks that they killed off the supporting character th@ soon tbh.
And this episode has a lot of BS and exaggerating too. As usual, these losers are trying to make money by lying, by taking some kids Graffiti and extrapolating that to an entire rural population. Just more crazy crap by two guys who got kicked out of China. Their video used to be quite good, but gone way downhill now with their perpetual grudge.
Love this format. Nice to get the feeling of exploring China while getting commentary of the ride - even prefer it to the talk-and-ride format of previous videos.
Wouldn't go that far but this is much appreciated.
Agreed! Loved this!
this is how I travelled through Nigeria in the old days, with family and locals. I was always asking about the signs and graffiti because I spoke English and french but couldn't read french or speak/read the local language.
Yeah this is great
sell drug will be executed in china
i appreciate both of your works, i've been binge watching both of you the past month and i love how genuine you guys are. keep up the wonderful work
Really like these tours with the candid commentary. It's amazing what you guys are picking up on looking at it a second time. Very insightful.
More of these videos please, the spontaneity is genuinely charming
Exactly!
I love these documentaries from ADVChina and Serpentza. Cheers!
I love these videos where you go back and explain what we’re looking at, because there’s so much that we as viewers learn that would have just passed over our heads otherwise!
It’s so cool to see the footage through the eyes of people who can interpret what we’re seeing :)
I wish they could deconstruct my life as if it were go-pro footage. Life would be so much simpler.
I really enjoy you guys narrating your footage like this and talking about it!
It never ceases to amaze me how the two of you are able to speak and read Chinese fluently.
They did spend years there. It's one thing to learn it without any exposure but when you're around it all the time how do you not learn it? It's like people here who don't know English despite being here for over a decade.
Not fluently. No stranger can speak Chinese fluently. They can interpret.
@@smokeemifyougotem9662 the 白猴 youtubers that Winston talked before are the "impossible people" you're talking about though. Living in Mainland China from 3 to +9 years without ever learning Chinese, and becoming _very_ pro-CCP because all they consume is translated state media like CGTN.
@@BilianaBiBiShiBiBiShaN1111 Stop inflicting limiting beliefs on us all!
@@BilianaBiBiShiBiBiShaN1111 That’s an ignorant comment. You really have no clue how language acquisition works, do you?
Yes, please do more of these. I find it incredibly interesting to see the video (with your narration, or reminiscing, whatever) that didn't make it into the Conquering China docos, or your semi-weekly posts when you were still living in China. These pieces add a depth of insight that I'm very grateful for.
Thanks you!
this is awesome. please do more. i'd even buy it as a laid back semi-documentary with commentary. seriously.
Seeing everything you have talked about exist in practice gives me a much deeper appreciation for everything you guys have mentioned so far.
Keep it up and stay awesome👍
Seeing those towns always gives me that creeping sense of self awareness. Like there are people living there, making the best out of their lives in that rough country
They are rough people. They belong just there.
They look bad, but why everything is so gloomy, like no sun exists in those towns. In sunny day nature around should make things bearable.
Get ready, it’s coming to America under the new green deal. Thanks Soros and his workers in our government, big business, professional sports, media and big tech. You’ve sold us out. And by the way, Jeffrey Epstein didn’t kill himself and joe potato head buydim didn’t win the election. He and his masters cheated and stole it.
@@ligametis as you know the BBC spooky filter applied by these 2 weirdo who love to make China as their ingredient and talking nonsense about it
@@netdude1984 disgusting. They didn't choose where they were born or how the society around them was built, they just had to do the best with what they got. There's nothing wrong with the people it's how their society is organized, something they have no say over.
Beautifully done video from the first to the last! I really appreciate you two. Have watched a number of your videos and liked every single one, you combine beauty in China along with the not so and I feel you do it with a feeling of both affection and exasperation. As I'll never get there I am glad to be able to see it thanks to you.
Love watching u go through these clips. Watching u guys traveling around China was what brought me to the channel in the first place so this is almost nostalgic :)
Epic MC trip. Enjoyed your analysis of local signage and showing how local inhabitants deal with being displaced from their homes.
you guys are amazing! you have travelled and documented in and out in china! you can also talk about it forever! what a life!
I love these buddy movie scenarios. It's always a really straight guy and his more maverick, loose cannon sidekick. A compelling archetype.
This was like a drive through tour. I really liked this style of video. Hope to see more like this.
So happy y’all did another one of these videos. Some of my favorite stuff y’all have done
Hey! Discovered you (serpentza) a couple of days ago as caught the Saffer accent. I grew up in Cape Town and spent 20yrs there but have lived in London UK since '98. I find your vids on China completely fascinating as I've never been to the east. Will be doing some binge watching soon.
Nice one boet
I found each of your channels separately, and until now, I had no clue you both shared a channel. I love the content you both put out and I'm glad to say I'm subscribing to this channel as well. Keep up the great reporting and best of luck with your future endeavors :)
Great job guys. Yes please continue to post even these old video reals and discuss your findings. You are teaching the world, and we need to know. Again - Thank You 🙏
Once again, excellent new format.
Been watching for the past 3 years . Can't wait to see you guys start travel again 🙂
Really glad to see a fresh perspective on your content. I used to watch religiously a few years ago on a different account. Really nice to get a deeper dive on what was going on at the time.
Love the format! Keep em coming!
One of the best videos you guys have ever done! Loved this! Fascinating to see the more dingy and rural areas
Nice video - thanks for taking the time to put it together!
So interesting guys how cool that you know that about the license plates! Loved this episode, it was like a mini vacation ;) Whenever I miss China I just watch some of your episodes (and am cured lol no need to go back anytime soon though I wish to do so for travel)!! You’ve guys been everywhere it’s so cool 😎 thanks for sharing your experiences and insights, love from NL
22:58 “團結緊張” goes together with “嚴肅活潑” at the other end of the building. It is a saying from Mao's Red Book. Here, 緊張 isn't really "nervousness", it's more a call to remain alert or conscientious. So this saying is a call to emulate four qualities: Unity, Conscientiousness, Earnestness, and Liveliness.
Thank you!
Agree. The 緊張 here is more like asking people to beware of something...
在澳大利亚政府创造、想出 be alert but not alarmed和if it doesn't add up speak up之类的口号。
I was going to say, "nervousness" seems like it could also be translated as "alertness" or "attentiveness".
good good study, day day up
you guys have some unique videos. good job keep the content rolling
Loved this one!!! Would love other vids in this style! :)
Thank you for sharing these great videos of your drive across china . Very educational and fun to watch. Enjoy them all....cheers!! from the bay area.
LOVE these videos and your commentaries. Keep up the excellent work.
“Unity through nervousness/paranoia” is one of Mao’s quotes
That sucks
Joe Biden said that too.
@@thonatim5321 Lmao really? Do you have a link?
Very interesting video, to actually hear the commentary as you journey through the area is very cool.
I love this style of video conversation, its cool you can pause and give more insight etc etc i really enjoyed this video and the style of video, please do moreeee :)
This style of video rocks, keep them up periodically at the very least.
Hi guys! Nice video as always👋😊
this series rocks I cant wait to see more.
Really enjoyable guys! It's like you're back touring China! Please do more.
Another great and informative video! :)
These look-back narrated rides are great. More please!
You are doing an excellent, original work and very important in these times. Congratulations !
One of the best videos you've done. Haven't seen them like this in a while. Love seeing the old China I used to walk around in. I love those old towns and seeing real people. Old town and the beautiful scenery. Places like this in Japan are what postcards are made to look like. They keep them cleaner. You can find great home cooked food in these little towns in China. Some people get suspicious of why you are there but others are happy to see you and talk.
My ex-fiancee was from Zhuzhou. I only visited her once there to be introduced to her parents and we then took a train from Zhuzhou, over Wuhan to Shanghai, to visit a common friend, the guy who had introduced us to each other.
That was in 2005, before there were those high speed trains everywhere, so the trip took a very long time, I think 26 hours or something like that. It was grueling, but I got a good look at the Chinese countryside for the first time.
What I remember the best is how weird many of the villages we passed looked. The houses basically all looked the same, 2 to 3 story concrete boxes, but what was weird about them were the windows. In one village all the houses had blue tinted windows, in the next village all the windows were pink tinted, then in the next village another color and so on.
I can't imagine living in a house where all the windows are blue or green or yellow, so that seemed really alien to me. I also hadn't seen anything like that in Qingdao, where I spent a year as an intern and where I originally met the girl. So I guess that might be a thing unique to Hunan and Hubei?
Huh... I wonder if they weren't tinted but that was the colored film of whichever manufacturer made the window glass and never got taken off like off the garage shutters. Now that'd be a question for Winston and C-Milk, or etc...
My hunch is who ever sells the windows only has access to those colors and they put windows in for all of town, and or, the government does it for sorting purposes.
@@HimmelsDaemon Possible. I think in that case I should have seen that film peel off of the windows, which I don't remember, but my memory could be shoddy. It was 16 years ago, after all.
@@smokeemifyougotem9662 Maybe, but I rather got the suspicion that it was a fashion thing. It seems common in China that one wealthy dude will do something gaudy to stand out from the crowd and then other people will copy him, to look as wealthy and hip as the first guy.
This is not unique to China of course. There are many anecdotes from history that show that it was like that in other parts of the world too.
A funny story is how, I think it was Queen Elizabeth 1 of England had black, rotten teeth and that became a fashion. People at court and the rich elites would actively blacken their teeth to look more like the queen.
Another example is when princess Pocahontas was brought to England and because of her it became fashion for a while for the queen and all the noble and rich ladies to walk around topless.
thanks guys, I really enjoy seeing these parts of China! Precious footage indeed!
"B-roll" footage is wonderful. Especially the narrative details you add to illustrate essential points. Thanks! Valuable stuff. Hope you do more of these. 👍
Hope you gonna make more videos like this! Totally intriguing & interesting! Thanks guys!
Love this format
Yeah this is awesome!
Dudes, you should review more of your old footage like this- it's really interesting
Man I'd pay a ton of money to watch a video of Nunce and Graylow sitting side by side interpreting Chinese road signs on the fly.
LOL! Sorry, but that was kinda funny!
@@GeoScorpion "I recognize the symbol for beer on that sign"
More videos like this one please! Love this type of dialogue & discussion videos
This is fucking awesome! I hope you guys keep doing these.
Looking back at your old footage, doesn’t it depress you guys knowing that most of the areas you filmed are no longer there? Loving the stories and the history as well ❤️👍🏻
that's also why their footages are extremely valuable.
SUBSCRIBED to all y'all's stuff so continue on! Very interesting, informative, and entertaining!
Hi guys! Enjoyed touring China vicariously through your trips. My wife doesn't enjoy touring the countryside, but I get to see rural China through you guys.
This was an excellent video. So much more information than rag chewing on bikes. Do this again please.
Nice language lesson along with a wonderful cultural tour. I like this format a lot.
Love this format keep it up!
Great format guys! Video followed by dubbed in narration is super interesting.
im really enjoying these kind of videos, keep them coming
严肃紧张Yan Su jin Zhang, It means be serious and active or 认真。 P.s this was by far one of your most!!!!! entertaining video
Your videos are amazing. I learn so much about China watching them. Thank you.
amazing videos and commentary! will be back again and again.
Glad I'm not the only one who's suffering not being able to sleep from noise.. when it gets you in your heart that's really the worst.. and what I've always felt.
Love the set up of this video
Thank you! We love making them.
I really miss the past videos where you uploaded your adventures through China which i would look forward to, it feels like it was decades ago now funny enough, so although this isn't quite the same, it's very interesting still to watch you both commenting on footage which you have decided to go over now.
Wow. What a place! Never going there. Your videos are enough.
I love this new series. Also sad those nice wooden houses were flooded. The people seemed nice offering you a drink and inviting you in especially when foreigners in those area's have to appear like vampires to them.
They were very sweet
It is very cool. I'm wondering if it is some kind of cross between every one of them felt like a disadvantaged minority in their own area or if part of it was is some one is recognizing and being nice to us so I'm going to be nice and converse with them. The kindest is apparent.
I miss Vivi and Hu. I'd really like to hear more from them. It's always interesting hearing their viewpoints and comments.
A lot of nuances you guys captured and talked about. Thank you for sharing.
Really enjoyed this!!!. They are places I would absolutely hate to live in but would love to pass through!
These type of videos are awesome content bros!
Guys, i love your videos, anyway i have a suggestion for improvements - you are reading some signs and telling interesting things about it, but for the non-speakers, we have no idea to what building or part of the video you are refering. How about drawing a red circle to that place, or just a mouse pointer? Thanks for considering!
I luv your stuff great to see you went for adventure and not a holiday
newer to your channel but really appreciate the inner china walk throughs and translations. I've spent a lot of time in the big cities and HK but this is very interesting, something I've known and wanted to see, but def feel the world needs to understand waht life is like in China.
More of these - awesome stuff!
I remember looking inside a Opium Den in Kowloon China back in 1967 when the US Ship I was assigned had a port call in Hong Kong. It was a stinking place with a thick sludge on all the walls in a drug den over in Kowloon.
Thank you for sharing your trips.
Loved it. I want to see lots more of these videos!
I feel bad for the Chinese not theCCP ! 🙏 Great job doing this video
lol!
I used to feel the same but I don't feel bad for the Chinese anymore. They are all over CZcams these days. They say the worst inhuman things, not one of their countrymen will call them out, but actually like what they say. I saw on the Nuance channel some dude said that he wished more people would have died in the 9-11 Twin Tower attack and it got 4k likes. I have lost total respect for mainlanders.

Love this footage from China, and hearing you guys speak and read Chinese. I’m currently trying to learn and love being exposed to it.
You'd better not learn from them. As a Chinese, I can't understand their Chinese very well
@@user-so9hu7ou6z Yeah, judging by your comments you don’t like these guys very much. I can’t judge their chinese but you just seem to be a hater.
@@judosailor I don't like them very much, because I am from Hunan, and their content is not objective. And I really can't understand their Chinese. Do you think if a South African speaks Chinese and the Chinese can't understand it, does he really understand China?
If you want to learn Chinese, you might as well ask me
@@judosailor In addition, they haven't even even drink milk tea茶颜悦色and eaten小炒黄牛肉. Basically, it can be said that they didn't come to Hunan.
@@user-so9hu7ou6z Look, I have followed these guys for a long time, a period of some years. Even back when they were still living in China. I’ve seen their content, I’ve followed their channels. And look, you’re barking up the wrong tree here. You’re not gonna convince me that these guys are liars and can’t really speak Chinese. I mean I don’t know how good it is, but they clearly can speak it. And they clearly can understand it. Let’s just say I trust them far more than I trust you, a random anonymous Internet person. So, you’re wasting your time here.
I enjoyed it tremendously. Thank you. Both of you must make a pact: Brothers Forever👍.
I like how you guys discuss the lawlessness there with such nonchalance. "Oh yeah, the cops are totally in on it, or on the take..." Priceless! :D
Insightful and enjoyable.
Geez guys, now I'm depressed. But educated. Sometimes knowledge is not easy to take in.
