Remember the year before last on Halloween, I already said that the more the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) cracks down strictly like this, and says you're not allowed to cosplay this or cosplay that for Halloween, the more Chinese people want to challenge it. That's why more and more people are participating now—participating in Halloween, that is. Of course, the police forces deployed by the CCP are also increasing, so they are arresting people indiscriminately and causing trouble everywhere.

They judged it all as cultural invasion. You might as well just impose a total ban directly—why pretend not to ban it here while actually arresting people every single day? This isn't allowed, that isn't permitted, and in every single crowd at these squares, who knows how many plainclothes officers are hiding, staring right at you. Many people were required on the spot to remove their makeup and change their clothes; so many were interrogated. It's fair to say that every city in China was on high alert on Halloween night. If you are so terrified of the people gathering, what kind of good regime could you possibly be? Doesn't this clearly tell the whole world that this regime has abused its people terribly? Because if they had a clear conscience and were genuinely governing well, they would know in their hearts that the people wouldn't even have enough time to support and thank them—so naturally, they wouldn't be afraid that people gathering might do something to them, right? Of course, all of the above are just standard operating procedures. Besides that, what did we see in Hong Kong this year? First, we saw someone cosplaying Meng Wanzhou, holding signs saying 'Go Huawei' and 'Go China', and he even very detailedly wore leg shackles—did you see that, friends? But another phenomenon appeared in Hong Kong: a fanatic crazily kowtowing to a photo of Xi Jinping. We don't even know if he was being sarcastic or if it came genuinely from the bottom of his heart. But another thing happened this Halloween—just a couple of days ago I showed you all about Feng Ge, a big influencer who filmed the current living conditions of migrant workers in Majuqiao, Beijing. Even though it was an edited, toned-down version, it was still deleted and taken down, and he was taken away right in the middle of his livestream. He showed up on Halloween day at a popular crowd gathering spot in his local area, enthusiastically taking photos with his fans, and then he was taken away by the police.

Can you film an episode about the urban villages in Seoul? If I film Seoul's urban villages, I'm afraid everyone will feel upset, because what is truly an urban village in our sense is, well, Chinatown. Especially, this was told to me by a Chinese person, and specifically a Chinese Ethnic Korean. He is Ethnic Korean himself, and he bluntly said that in all of Seoul's subways, the toilet paper in the restrooms is supplied in unlimited amounts. Like, you might have some toilet paper here, and another roll placed on top. But only in Chinatown, around Daelim, they had to lock up the toilet paper in the subways. They put out a roll, an old lady comes and takes a roll; put out another roll, she takes another roll. Later people had no choice but to lock up the toilet paper in the subway station too. And many content creators in South Korea say that going to Daelim is like us going to Sanhe for an adventure: 'Today I came to Daelim to explore, I'm ordering a portion of bossam here, let's see if Chinese people will beat me up.' Giving South Koreans such an impression. If you guys want to watch it, I'll film an episode; if you want to watch it, I'll film it. This thing isn't Brother Feng bad-mouthing anyone. Ethnic Koreans in South Korea, or Chinese people in South Korea—this was told to me directly by Chinese Ethnic Korean friends in China; he spoke so bluntly about it. The negative impression Koreans have of Chinese people was basically caused by this place, Daelim. But I think this is just a cultural difference, it's not just about being dirty, messy, or bad, it's just a cultural difference. Because the way we sell things there is just out of habit, unlike Koreans. However, truth be told, most Korean restaurants are quite clean. I can really feel this point. Maybe when we usually go to Jilin or interact with some Ethnic Koreans, or go to those restaurants, their place is spotless. Sometimes when entering the house, you must take off your shoes first, and walk around in the living room wearing socks. Just some habits, merely some habits. And including their tables, they are wiped very clean with almost no grease. But having no grease doesn't mean they love cleanliness, because they don't do stir-fry! Without stir-fry, where would grease come from, right? These various factors are quite complex. Film an episode? Sure, I can film one. Maybe in a couple of days. Tomorrow I'll go to a goshiwon first, leave my stuff in the goshiwon, and then go to Daelim to film an episode. Is there watermelon? No watermelon, but there's durian. A box of durian, 50,000 South Korean won, which is 250 yuan for a box of durian. It's too expensive, 50,000 won. Let me show everyone, this is today's third plate of barbecue. Around 140 to 150 yuan per person. So I think, meat prices are indeed quite expensive, but it's not to the point that you can't afford to eat it in South Korea. Because generally speaking, for a waiter in South Korea, the salary is around 3 million Korean won. Eating a meal like this costs 30,000 Korean won, which is about 1% of the salary. If you eat freely like this in China, based on Brother Feng's experience, the cheapest all-you-can-eat meat buffet in China might be around 70-something yuan. If everyone's monthly salary is higher than 7,000, then your life is definitely already better than most grassroots South Korean people. But if your monthly salary is below 7,000, you might not dare to eat freely like this either. This is just my personal observation.

News has good and bad, but we only spread true voices. Right, we only spread the truth, but spreading true voices can also be selective. For example, I might fixate on American beef steaks and American ractopamine-treated pork chops, while ignoring South Korean beef, right? Even though everything I say is the truth, telling the truth selectively can still mislead the audience, because I only talk about the side you want to hear and omit the side you don't want to hear. Just like when we make comparisons, we only use watermelons as the benchmark to compare with South Koreans; we never mention that South Korean salmon is cheap, or that South Korea has various cheap seafood, right? Because our seafood is expensive, we are smart enough not to compare seafood with them. If we must compare, we definitely use watermelons. So is that the truth? Of course it is also the truth. But what if South Koreans use iPhones to compare, saying that my salary can buy two iPhones? It is the same. Usually, you feel like you've won big and want to lose a round—wait, no, you don't necessarily lose, because although Dalin has residents who are all Chinese, their nationalities have already been changed to South Korean. Oranges grown in Huainan are oranges, but those grown in Huaibei are bitter oranges, right? For example, if Chinese people go to other countries, they also do quite well. Why is it that when they are in South Korea, things look so shabby and rundown? The reason is very simple: there is no need, they completely look down on this place, have no intention of putting down roots or living here long-term, and are just here to make money and send it back to China, remitting it back to China to earn foreign exchange. You come here just to earn their foreign exchange and do not participate in their city building. Didn't you say they were naturalized? Yes, they are naturalized, they obtained South Korean citizenship, yet they still remit money to their families and trusted ones in China. What kind of spirit is this, right? This is truly selfless dedication—selfless dedication means suffering here yourself, but letting your family live a good life. But this kind of days are gone forever, because in the past we didn't join the WTO, it was unfair, and we weren't on the same starting line. Today, I can say without hesitation that this is definitely my heartfelt advice: the salary and income levels of the top-tier companies among most of our companies have already surpassed South Korea's. That is my observation, meaning the top tier has no difference. We have Huawei, Tencent, DJI, Insta360, 360, ZTE, and so on. There are too many such enterprises, meaning the top-tier incomes are about the same. The middle tier might be slightly weaker—maybe slightly weaker, such as doing some clerical work, being office staff, or working as a technician; the middle tier is slightly weaker. The biggest gap—the biggest gap is the bottom tier. The bottom tier lags behind by one level. Right, the bottom tier lagging behind by one level cannot be helped, because after all, there are 1.4 billion people, while South Korea only has 50 million people. Their office workers also make 4 to 5 thousand a month; their minimum wage is 2 million South Korean won. The minimum wage is 2 million South Korean won, and anything below that is illegal, because their unemployment benefit is 1.8 million, and paying less than 2 million is illegal. Therefore, their society, at the very, very, very grassroots level—let's take restaurant waitstaff for example—might be a bit over 2 million, around 2.5 million. Let's calculate based on 2.5 million won; 2.5 million won is about 12,000 to 13,000 RMB, right around there. You can't possibly say they directly take the absolute minimum wage either, because sometimes if you work longer hours and do a good job, you might make a bit more, like 13,000 RMB. Compared to Shanghai, waitstaff basically make 5 to 6 thousand RMB. In Shanghai, we can't say that waitstaff make 30,000 RMB—30,000 RMB would truly be for uneducated older aunties wiping tables. But anyone working in a shop who performs relatively well and stays long enough to become a store manager can definitely make 5 to 6 thousand RMB. Objectively speaking, without smearing or praising, you cannot compare this with a rural auntie who has no education at all, knows nothing, and has no culture whatsoever. Such a person can still make 5 to 6 thousand RMB as a shop clerk in Shanghai—double that, right? But if we compare the bottom tier, it indeed lags slightly behind, because an uneducated auntie in South Korea still makes 12,000 to 13,000 RMB. An uneducated auntie in South Korea can still make 2 million South Korean won working in a restaurant. So if you compare it that way, it looks slightly inferior—meaning the top end is a tie, the middle end is about the same, the bottom end is slightly inferior, but overall we still win.

If I post this, I think it might be immediately judged as a malicious comparison. If you take the most miserable and bottom-tier people from every country and compare who is the most unbearable to look at, I don't think China has any chance of losing. At the end of this episode, let's look back at a video filmed during Halloween three years ago. I think it's quite extreme. I really think the people need to become their own heroes. Alright, that is all for this episode. If you would like to support me, please join the channel. I also really hope to be able to chat with everyone in real-time during live streams. That's it for this episode, see you next time.
