It’s a hard decision to leave your parents, other family members and your hometown, but on the other hand, it’s important to pursue your own ideal free land and your own lifestyle. I was living in China for 8 years, I knew the atmosphere there and people cannot tell what they want to talk freely, people may earn the money but lose other important part in their life. May God bless you and good luck!
In New Hampshire, the state motto is “Live Free or Die.” That was the sentiment I sensed in your videos prior to the quiet 6 months. I am in awe of you for your courage and integrity. Few have the guts and fortitude. You have the support of many. Best! And I love 🇹🇼
Hope China's politics will never end up like Taiwan. Lawmakers literally fighting in parliament, always quarrelling and wasting time instead of really thinking about solutions to solve problems.
Your voice and words are more powerful than you give yourself credit for. Your a stranger to me ( other than some of the insight you’ve given us through your videos) and yet I find myself cheering you on like a close friend. Good luck in whatever you do.
Hi Simon, are you here in Taiwan now? I assumed you are and welcome "BACK" to Taiwan. I can fully understand what you mentioned about that "when you alerted the train is heading to a wrong direction, either you try to change it (but obviously, it is not that easy) or, you should change yourself to another train. Take good care, Simon. Awaiting for your other films......
Wherever country you end up in will be lucky to have you. Relocating is never easy but when you find somewhere that you are truly happy you will look back and realize it’s one of the best things you ever did. Enjoy Taiwan and hope you make it over here to the states some day, even if it’s just for a trip or vacation. As the person from Texas said, you would do very well here!
Beautifully said. There's so many great things about China, but at the end of the day if the government decides you are a problematic person you will be dealt with. If you find yourself liking the government or simply apathetic to it all and go about your life unmoved by it, you'll be fine. But if you do have opinions that don't aline with the stance of the state, and want to express yourself, us here in the west truly cannot comprehend what living under such circumstances can be like. I wish you the best.
This up master is just lying to gain more fans of you Westerners You don't even live in China You don't know anything about China Only from BBC CNN We also criticize our own government in China
@@莫念x酱 so if I live in china I guess you have nothing to say anymore. Anyone who believes anything CNN has to say is plain stupid Anyone who believes anything the Chinese party has to say is just as stupid CNN is replaceable Winnie the Pooh is legally for life
All the best to you and your wife in your new journey. May you both be healthy, prosperous and at peace. From Aotearoa [NZ] 祝您和您的妻子在新的旅程中一切顺利。愿你们都健康、繁荣、安宁。来自 Aotearoa [新西兰]
I feel for you! Hard decisions. . but once you have seen it from the outside you can't just close your eyes again. . even though you could live very comfortably in China at the material level.
I’m also a Shanghainese living abroad and I feel you Simon when you say the train is heading towards the wrong direction. It is particularly sad for people like us who knows and cares about what’s going on in this world but not being able to make a difference. Not knowing when I can see my family again makes it even worse.
It takes courage to leave a life of aimless comforts to pursue a life of truth. I admire and respect your decision. Best of luck in Taiwan, my beloved homeland.
Hats off to you from Texas. You can’t be genuinely happy in China. I truly believe that you can make a great impact anywhere in this God’s green earth when your mind is not tied up. Looking forward to seeing your new lives. Actually I encourage you to move to US. You can build a great career here.
The US would be a downgrade. Besides, I feel like Simon doesn't want to become an American and estrange from his roots. Taiwan is the best place for him right now.
For me, cats are so soothing and their companionship has always gotten me through even the worst of times. You're a good man Simon Yu. I wish I didn't have to say this, but you likely already know that regardless of where you are, as long as your family remains in the PRC, you still have to watch your speech and your actions. If the CCP can't silence you directly, they'll go after your friends and family instead. Peace, Love, Prosperity, and Happiness to you and your family.
"Drawing the line in the sand" is the best advice I got as a young man living in different places. Dicide what is the limit you are open to deal with prior to that situation. When it comes you know it's time to move on "Go where you're treated best"
Truly a compassionate person who that goes that extra mile for this fur family. True respect for you. I wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors
Life is a miracle. Following your heart and dreams is where your destiny will bring you. We all should have the freedom to follow them. I wish you, your wife and sweet cat the best of luck!🌠🌷
Hi Simon. Best of luck with the next part, of life's great adventure... Doing the right thing, can often be painful, but necessary... Your cat looks well chilled.
Simon, you are a brave Chinese, I heard a different voice from China, even though it is so tiny, but you bring hope to Chinese people. It is so sad you have to leave your lovely family to a new country, please remember there are no such perfect countries or socility in the world, you still have to adapt to their good and bad. I believe Taiwan may not be as good as you think, but it is a country that can accept the differences in many ways. Good luck and take care.
i think a lot of young Chinese think the same but the problem is CCP.. people need to overthrow them and be like Taiwan.. only truly democratic Chinese country
@@cdnsilverdaddy a lot means less than 10%. A great proportion are grateful and another big chunk adaptable. That leaves a miserable group and a group that can actually leave.
While Shanghai was not my hometown, for a long time I hoped that I could one day consider Shanghai as "home". I remember how the last weeks/days/hours felt leading up to the date that I was scheduled to leave Shanghai, and it was truly heartbreaking. I hope you've found happiness in your new home of Taiwan, and I'd be lying if I didn't say I was a bit jealous! All the best, Simon!
Goodl luck in Taiwan. J have visited Taipei and Tainan City. It is a beautiful island. I couldn't imagine anyone not being happy in Taiwan. Best to you and your wife!
Keep fighting keep strong. Thanks for the update and hope you could get some joy again since you relocated. I appreciate lot to see your journey in life.
Thank you for posting Simon. You are so brave and really a special human being. I wish you all the best in your new life in Taiwan. I hope you keep posting updates because it’s nice to know you are safe and happy. Take care of yourself and be happy!!!
