เป็นประเทศที่ประชาชนต้องประสบกับชะตากรรมและมากด้วยเรื่องราวที่สุด…
Oh , everything you’ve said is true despite the fact that Chinese lack self-esteem, over.
The only reason they needed to “open up” was because Mao screwed them up so bad. Imagine if the Communists lost the civil war, then China would have been “opened up” for 60 years, not 30 years. And they DO thank Deng Xiaoping, every single Chinese man woman and child goes through the exact same education system where they are FORCED to to ‘thank’ them.
How about you learn your own history, it’s only called Beijing because of Mandarin Chinese which is only about 700 years old. The major spoken languages in the past were all Cantonese related and in these languages it sounds more like Puck King which was commonly written as Peking. You complain about others not knowing Chinese history but you don’t know it either.
Wonderful documentary! The narrator could have done a wonderful W.C. Fields impression with just a little adjustment.
epic win. if you hadn’t pointed that out, i probably would’ve thought “hm weird” and then i’d forget about it.
I like the smiling face of the barbar.
If I were these people, I’d be planning for evacuation asap. the japs are coming!!!

–Nor did they know that starting in the 1500’s, while they were shoring up their land defences, that barbarians from the west would arrive on the coast and destroy the country with their armies and economic policies.
They don’t know that they’re about to die many years later, do they?

幹妳娘支那人 Peking就Peking，怎樣自尊心脆弱就改成Beijing?? 真他媽可悲的一廢物！ 英文 China還可以翻譯成中國？他媽英文學到哪裡去了？ 是孫文講的支那不是中國更不是美洲大陸。
What about “this old man relfects the age of the wall itself?” That’s hilarious LMAO

We should thanks Dengxiaoping
All Chinese people should thank ‘reform and opening up policies’ for bring modern thought and science to the old kindome .Without seclusion,China has been changed maganificantly over the last 30 years
thank ‘reform and opening up policies’ for bring modern thought and science to the old kindome
They don’t know that they’re about to die many years later, do they?
“Guys type in “gift” before youtube then press enter
I love that guy at the funeral waving at the camera…he will always be remember hahaha
Love that guy at 1:41, he’s all like NI HAO!!!!!
Are you trying to convince us that the destruction of 99% of all Buddhist monasteries and temples in Tibet by the Chinese Red Guards in the 60s was a “liberation” for the Tibetan people? This is absolutely depraved and sick. If you want to “liberate” people from oppression, you don’t destroy their holy sites or force their peasants to work in collective farms.

Yeah yeah right…you hypocrite. Life was incredibly “bearable” for the Tibetans and even the Han Chinese peasants when Mao Zedong introduced COLLECTIVIZATION which is just a Communist term for serfdom. Don’t try to tell me that Mao’s “great leap forward” was “bearable” when 30 million Chinese died because of famine because of Mao’s own version of serfdom. The Dalai Lama never accomplished such massive famines.
Every word slobbering out of this white pig narrator is dripping with a sense of superiority and mocking. Glad hes dead by now.
well, the communist revolution happened in 1949, dumbass.
that helped alot in essays thx man
