I mean... Eillen was definitely born to do this job! she has always new topics to talk about, she is not rude or awkward and she is very respectful toward the people she interviews.

这个视频使我感动！我住在中国几年了，偶尔和司机交流，有的时候认为经济的繁荣却是建立在司机、劳动者的血汗之上的......我不是要批评什么的，只是觉得他这样的普通人对社会来说是必要的。谢谢分享！

It's awesome to listen to the ordinary Chinese people talking without script.

The sacrifices people make for their families…the universality of the human condition is what is special about this interview. The best part of the video was the end when he spoke about his mum and his kids - no doubt he cried and asked for the video to be cut but it also shows it doesn’t matter where you are in the world we all love and we all want a better future for our children

You have the BEST mandarin listening materials on RU-vid! Thank you a lot for this work! :)

I hope he finds the job he is looking for around 4,000-5,000RMB per month. Being a taxi driver is a hard job! You seem like you do a lot of traveling Eileen. Loved the video!

我看这个视频的时候有点儿郁闷，因为这个司机的生活非常难。差不多每天工作，离家人很远 谢谢你给我们这样的视频

Enjoyed hearing the process of how he became a taxi driver. 也很高兴听到他对这些数字应用的感受. 😃

I can't afford to donate now. I would love to support when I can. You guys do fantastic work. Thx.

Keep posting!!! You’re doing such a great job! Thank you 💜

Excellent teacher. The content is helping a lot to improve my level in the language. Keep up the great work!!!!!!

thanks a lot for recording and uploading intermediate chinese lessons with subtitles.. very helpful..

Wow, finally I am able to understand most of this video. Thank you very much! This channel has been my main source for studying Chinese and it has shown itself really useful. Thanks again!!!

Eileen, thank you so much! These are fantastic study materials for Mandarin. I’m recommending your channel and website to everyone I know. Well worth the $10!

Thanks a lot for uploading. So important to learn Chinese which is not from textbook. Excellent video.

Amazing content as always on this channel. I'm super happy my listening ability has improved sooo much ever since I started watching your videos !

I really like the red notes you guys put in lately! Please keep doing this ! It is very helpful!!! Great video!!! I LOVE THEM!!!!! I've practically watched them all but I need to practice them more! My level is still pretty low intermediate! I've only been learning for 1 year and 4 months but I practice everyday! Thanks again :)!

你们 聊聊 得 又 慢 又 清楚。。。我 听懂，谢谢。

Great to see a new video, they're really helping me, each time it feels like I'm understanding more and more! But I feel bad for this guy - he works such long hours, has hardly any holiday and can only see his family once a year and he keeps saying 4-5k per month is all he wants. Foreign teachers just come along and get double/triple that salary easily but often they don't even appreciate their job. I'm surprised his accent seems so southern when he's from henan, which is fairly central really. I thought they'd have a more standard accent!

谢谢你老师

谢谢你，Eileen! 在大学我学中文，可是你的视频帮我自己提高我的中文水平 :) 你真的是最好的老师

I really appreciate the explanation of 的话. It has always seems to me that this phrase shows up everywhere, so it makes sense that it's used as a filler word. Thanks!

你的视频真的很有效的，谢谢你。

Great content!!! Thanks a lot!

awsome!

谢谢老师

这种高级的视频很棒。在RU-vid上已经有很多初期中文课，地道的，高级的课不多。 谢谢你啊！

Another excellent video

You are doing well, keep doing. I really like your video

谢谢啊

这位司机很幸苦，很可怜。

*THANK YOU EILEEN* (:

Can you please add translation? That would be great :))

Thank you

谢谢你。

最好的视频，真的有帮助。我想哭啦太谢谢你了

Im learning a lot lol.

终于你上载新的视频， 谢谢！

真的羡慕你，是真正你的fan。希望那天可跟你聊天。真爱你 😊

对我来说这个视频帮助我，坚持学习中文

You are the best mandarin teacher! I suppose you saw Didi is looking at doing an IPO?

Eileen, could you make this one of your next updates please?

Eileen 我们爱你

Really helpful video :) But I have a question - several times in this video you ask the driver "怎么说呢" (for example at 23:59). What does this mean? I've heard it before but it's always been someone saying it rhetorically while they are trying to think of the right way to phrase something. Like 因为啊，怎么说呢，就是因为我什么什么...... But in this video it seems that you're not using this phrase in the same way. So what's the meaning? Thanks!

老师，can you make a video of the most important 成语? please. Your videos are always so helpful, thank you very much!

Great stuff. Amazing how you can keep it going for so long. Keep it up. I will for sure make my contribution. I will for sure mention your website to any people interested in perfecting their spoken chinese. Is it possible to send Emails to a specific Email Address . Thanks Ian

HI Eileen :)

》那你如果有放假的时候，你一般会做什么？《 》。。。睡觉。。。《 哈哈。。。我猜对了！ 我刚才认识到了Mandarin corner 是很特别。 好像没有别的让我们学中的听道这么多日常自然对话的视频频道。

叔叔好辛苦

8:19 Is this guy saying he has to work 105 hour weeks (15 hrs a day/7 days a week)?? I hope I'm misunderstanding what they're saying because if not that sounds terrible.

Wo hen xihuan zheyang de video. It could make our ear get used to the real Chinese conversation

21:51 他用手指左边说乘客尝试开右边的门下去。接下来的话还是继续说错 😂

I once took a taxi in Guangzhou and it was like fast and furious, totally not recommended

请问，我有一个问题。他为什么老说”嘛”的意思是不是”明显”的意思吗？

I have a question. He drops the h in his words so much but he's from Henan, not really the south. Why is that? Has he lived in ZhongShan long enough he picked it up or is Henan considered the south because it's south of a certain point? It's very strong.

Eileen, 请问你，在不同地方也有不同的出租车费，是吗？ 我去年去过中国的时候，发现你们的价格不太贵，我去过一场市。

please add english subtle

It`s going to take me 20 years to talk like this guy XD

No English subtitle

Lianxizhe dui yitian dong zhege! 🤔

现在找钱真的不容易，感觉他们有钱人越有钱，好像我们普通人就像那位师傅说的，要被淘汰了。我们别放弃，多学习，只要专心学好一门技术，行行出状元

can you please add english subtitle too,,,,,,,i will be thankful to you

他很想他的妈妈

我的天哪！这部视频让我很难过！我怎么对他付捐款呢？我想支持他和家人啊！可以吗？任何办法吗？我们都可以捐款钱吗？我想让他跟孩子们在一起。我感觉到他的伤心。我在哭！我想帮助他！他好像很好啊！他很努力工作，不过收入还是不够花吧

他每个月赚多少钱呢？四五千一个月吧？这么低吗？
