Crowds Packing Guangzhou, the CCP Is Terrified!! The Miraculous Prophecy of the Northeast — Will It Hit Again This Time? Qiqi Baba TALK Episode 988 20261003

This episode is hosted by anchor Qiqi. By showing scenes of a large number of job seekers on the streets of Guangzhou and phenomena such as shop closures, population drain, and vacant real estate in many places in Northeast China (such as Changchun, Qiqihar, Jilin City, etc.), it reflects the current economic downturn and the depression of the real economy, while discussing related social phenomena and the historical status of Northeast China's heavy industry.

Hello everyone, welcome to Qiqi Baba, I am Qiqi. Does it look like there are a lot of people? This is in Guangzhou. Looks like there are a lot of people, right? Very lively. Now, what if I tell you that all of these are people who cannot find a job? Do you still think they look lively? Does it feel instantly suffocating? That's right, these are truly people who can't find jobs. They didn't go to Guangzhou for tourism or to have fun; they are simply looking for a job. Wandering around looking for jobs on the main street—they are out of moves, with no work to do. If these people are unmarried and have no children, then in the eyes of the CCP, they are absolute dangerous elements.

Taiwan returning to the Northeast, I agree with this, alright. Why? We people from the Northeast are enthusiastic; when the kids come back, they won't feel estranged from us, and the bond will be super good. When those kids from Taiwan come back and look for something to do, grab a big fruit, get a deep-fried pastry, and pair it with a bowl of doufunao, three kuai, three kuai. What can you do with three kuai? You take that little rain cushion back, and you tell the older brother, bro—well, can't say it like that—big brother, how much is it? Big brother is warm-hearted and says forget it, little sister, just eat, eat with peace of mind.

I want to listen to Chairman Mao's words and do revolution in the countryside for a lifetime.

Come on, everyone take a look at how all these businesses near the National Exhibition are ruined! Walmart is ruined, and this Wanda on Chongqing Road is actually Wang Jianlin's very first store among all Wandas nationwide, built right on Chongqing Road in Changchun. I didn't expect Wang Jianlin to start his business right here on Chongqing Road in Changchun. This whole area now has just a sparse few left. Then this whole Chongqing Road area is ruined, with nobody around. Look, nobody around. Where is this place? This is the former Chongzhi Road, Chongzhi Alley. I remember back then, a single shop cost 300,000 in usage rights, 300,000, and now it's all ruined with nobody around. Let's go to four or five.

50,000 a set, small elevator garden apartments, eight floors high. Let's see how the small residential compound is. The compound, wow, the price is 50,000 a set, not the down payment. Hey, what the fuck, James's housing prices this year have completely baffled me. Siberian tiger, wild Siberian tiger. Hey, don't scare people!

It's not on the GPS.

This is a wild one! Ooh, a dog influencer, a dog influencer.

Aah! Fuck you!

What's wrong with him.

Now I am driving alone on National Highway 131, seeing this sign, where is this? It seems tigers might roam here. Oh my god! Hey, what should I do? I'm so nervous!

They always say there are fewer and fewer normal people in this world, and I thought they were just joking around, until I saw some people out there by the roadside in the Greater Khingan mountains feeding wild black bears—yes, the very same black bears you people always talk about. Did you think it was your pet cat? So obedient, huh? Ah! To us kids from the Northeast, a black bear is a terrifying existence. Don't even talk about it, will you? Will it bite you? Um, if it gives you a swipe, it's more than enough to mess you up good! That thing has a super high IQ; it will pretend to be human and wave at you, it will open your yurt door, it will yank open your car door. And think about it, it's autumn now. Why is it coming down the mountain? It's hungry, it needs to store some fat to get through the winter, it's going to hibernate. Plus, there's a mother bear with two or three little cubs, and you still dare to go up there and show off by provoking them? You think it can't catch you? It doesn't even bother to chase you, but if it really wants to chase you, it will flip your car right into a ditch. You truly are fearless out of sheer ignorance; while other people have the guts tucked safely in their bodies, your body is just wrapped around your guts. And if you pull a stunt like this, did you ever stop to think about the locals? Huh? From now on, let alone riding a motorcycle or a bicycle passing by that area, the roadside will be packed, absolutely packed with these things. Just think about it, will people still be able to walk down that road? Xiao Bao was born in Yichun. In Yichun, the mountain foragers up there go into the mountains to pick honey mushrooms and pine cones just to scrape by. Forget about them seeing a black bear; if they catch even a glimpse of a black bear up on the mountain, they scatter and run for their lives. If you people go around feeding them like this, who's going to dare go up the mountain in the future?

Now, after taking a stroll through the streets of Jiamusi, don't you feel like something is off, too? The giant shopping malls that used to be packed with people are now desolate and deserted. Even the weekend night markets have lost that cozy, bustling vibe. Hey, the most glaring sight is those old shops that have been open for years, with one

It is almost midnight now. Let me show you all; this building behind me is completely unoccupied.

Let me switch the camera. All of these are empty.

No one lives here; they are all vacant houses.

They are actually just bare shells. Empty houses. In this whole building, only one person lives.

I live here, just me alone.

I don't know what it's like in other regions, but let me tell you about the current situation in Heilongjiang: good roads are being dug up every day, while the broken ones are ignored. Today they lay water pipes, tomorrow they work on electricity. Since these aren't the same department, they can't dig together. One finishes, and then another starts digging. The road was fine before I went to sleep, but when I woke up in the morning, two lanes had turned into one. It's fine, everyone just squeezes through together; it's even livelier. They work for three days and rest for four. They dare to spend a whole year repairing that one kilometer of road. I know they are supposed to be repairing the road, but I honestly thought they were doing archaeology there. And the schools—they go on summer break for two months, and they don't fix anything during that time. But as soon as school starts on September 1st, they start digging up the whole road.

This row of houses has been here for many years, and some families haven't been back for a long time. Only four households live here in total, and two of them are from Weihai—that's my place and the one above me. The one at the end belongs to someone from Linzi. No one comes here!

It is 5:00 AM now, and I am going to sleep. I will probably sleep until the afternoon. I said I wouldn't spend a single penny during this holiday, and I will definitely stick to it. I'll just cook a bowl of noodles when I wake up; one meal a day is enough.

Rare, large property, a detached courtyard house, and the location is excellent—main roads on both sides, with concrete roads in front and back. This house is 94 square meters, sitting on a plot of over 500 square meters. A garden in front and a yard in back! Take a look, three large tiled rooms, let me tell you.

There are always people online blathering on, saying that our Northeast is poor and backward. Hearing that really leaves a bad taste in my mouth. The dozen or so provinces in the South may look lively and prosperous, but don't forget that our Northeast is the foundation that supported our country. It is my roots, the hometown that raised me. How deep are the Northeast's assets? Let's talk about it today. First, the Daqing Oilfield, right here in our Heilongjiang; its reserves are three times that of the Qatar oilfield. Over these years, 2.5 billion tons of crude oil have been extracted one after another, and the whole country's oil consumption relies on us. Then there's the steel capital of Anshan, Liaoning; half the city is steel mills, and people call it the "Pittsburgh of the East." The country's infrastructure cannot do without our steel. Our Northeast is the eldest son of the Republic, the true cradle of China's heavy industry.

Behind me is the Jiangbei No. 4 Department Store in Songyuan City, also known as the old Fuyu No. 4 Mall. It is a long-standing state-owned department store that all old Fuyu people know. It was built in the late 1950s and has been around for decades. Its original name was the No. 4 Department Store, one of the first state-owned department stores in Jiangbei. Rooted in Changning North Street, it is a landmark of the old Jiangbei core business district and a memory for generations of Songyuan people. Back in the day, it was a full-category department store—clothing, shoes and hats, knitwear, wholesale, hardware, daily sundries, you name it, it was a one-stop shop. In the 80s and 90s, it was incredibly popular in Jiangbei.

This is the residential building for the geological team in the Tiefeng District of Qiqihar City. Fewer and fewer people live here now, mainly because the transportation is inconvenient. Also, the economy in Qiqihar is not good, so many houses are sitting empty.

This is Shanghai Road in Changchun, and opposite is the Wanda Plaza. Look at the time, it's right at the end of the workday. See that? The traffic isn't very heavy. The entrance to the mall is also sparse. Fellow folks, where have all the 9 million people of Changchun gone? There is no one in the malls, no one in the supermarkets, no one in the amusement parks. Where on earth have all the people in Changchun gone?

Oh my, this is Mount Putuo! Look here, in the direction I'm pointing, these are all queues. I have already seen tens of thousands of people queuing here. It feels like tens of thousands of people are queuing at Mount Putuo; the October 1st holiday is here! Welcome, everyone.

Just look at this residential complex, these lights, there's something wrong with them! I just took a picture with my camera, and they are all on the same horizontal line, especially this building; they all have the same building color, and the brightness of the lights is exactly the same. I zoomed in and saw that they are all bare shells. Not a single one has been sold, you know? No one is living there! They are just fooling the common people!

Uh, many people say that Northeast China has always been at the absolute forefront of China's trends—meaning that regardless of whether the country's next steps head in a good direction or a bad one, it seems like all trends start in the Northeast first. Well, I think we can just wait and see how things unfold. Alright, that's all for this episode. If you'd like to support me, please join the membership channel. I really hope that during the next members-only live stream, we can have a great chat and talk in real time. So that's it for this episode, see you in the next one.
