His Life Is OVER - Kris Wu Goes To Prison For 13 Years

Oh, you think the Chinese people only want to work. Well, guess what? I want to break that Stereotype and not work a lot of things that rappers say are simply not true No, they didn't Chris Wu just got sentenced to 13 years in prison. All right, everybody. Welcome to the hot pot boys We got four viral articles coming out of China We got them from neck shark and you know nowadays it is kind of fun to keep up with the news out there Even though it's in a different country, but you know what globalization number one Andrew This news is going super viral on a lot of different platforms right now Andrew Chris Wu just got sentenced to 13 years in Beijing prison for you know, various things. He's about to get deported He got fined 86 million dollars and if you're in a foreign country, and he's like a Canadian citizen Even though he's a Chinese pop star do not do crime I think when China looks at celebrities that are acting bad and have bad behaviors They they take it extra hard because they understand that they have a lot of influence and a lot of Responsibility because you get paid a lot you get to live a cool life. You get very famous, right? But then if you mess up that's gonna affect more people and and that's kind of from what I understand how China kind of sees It so yeah, I mean, hey, listen you messed up and and you know This is what happens. Listen if you get caught drug smuggling in a lot of countries over in Asia It could be automatic life imprisonment or like even execution So I'm just saying they got a whole different system there and a different set of standards Story number two viral coming out of China Andrew is from Hunan province an eight-year-old boy Disobeyed his parents. He ignored his chores because he wanted to watch TV. So his parents came home. They're like, oh, yeah You're a glutton for TV. So now your punishment is to watch TV until 5 a.m See how you like it and other people say yeah, my son. He likes hamburgers and KFC So I made him eat a fool for three days now. He no longer wants a fast food and junk food Yeah, it once you get too much of what you originally wanted. It kind of kills the fun I remember this one time when I was kind of young mom actually bought a can of beer and had me take one sip in Front of her and it was so bitter and disgusting at the time I was like it totally deterred me from drinking beer for several years after that and then mom was like see I told you you Wouldn't like it. So don't drink beer ever again at the end of the next shark article Andrew it basically brings up a study about tough parenting aka tough Asian tiger parenting and some says that Andrew even though There is some research to show that it does have some good successful outcomes in terms of the kids, you know career path You know, they're gonna do what they do do their chores of their career It also could manifest depression later on in a child's life Andrew What do you think because this is a big debate in the Asian community right now because obviously for the old school They were just about the tiger parenting, but the newer parents, you know They're trying to find a mix a hybrid get the upside without the downside. Can you do it? I think that if you're gonna come down hard on your kids and really like be a super strict tiger parent You also got to give them some things that they like you have to have that balance And it can be different but you don't have to ease up on grades But you got to ease up on other parts of their life. I feel like that's the 2022 way I think that that's the big thing man. I'm not gonna lie a lot of Chinese parents from the old school, man They just do stuff that you know They just make you do stuff you don't want but they do not allow you to do stuff that you do one number three And was in the same vein China had announced that y'all we be the war on video game addiction But now we are losing the final boss war to douyin and Billy Billy the kids. They love the short form video so much Yeah, I mean I do think that there's even a possibility that they start regulating the time on douyin even more I know that a lot of people say oh douyin is all these Scientific videos and educational videos, that's actually not true There's actually a lot of stupid videos on douyin too, but um, yeah I mean I think that they're gonna start regulating just like they regulated video games even though it was maybe easier to regulate video games because they Had to like log in with a certain like ID login that was like tied to know their identification and stuff like that So I guess it was easier to stop But I don't know maybe they got to make like better Entertainment games or something like you said and you're earlier from point number two If you take something away, you also have to provide people something that they didn't have as well It's always a balance as a give and a take or I guess in China's case more like a take take take at least one give for every take take take yes And I mean, I think that anytime there's like an issue with a certain group of kids in China Since there is such a huge gigantic population in China anytime some of these like stories pop up It still involves like thousands of children, you know that are like complaining about this or a thousand families feel this way But I also think like at the end of the day China's uh, China's gotta ask themselves I why is it that like everybody always wants to just play video games and be on douyin, you know Like maybe why are we not those seem like the best options for dopamine serotonin endorphin release right in the body Can you provide a societal? Alternative so that kids don't only want to turn to video games in short form video, right? Because people turn to things that they feel like that's their best option to get what they want for the moment last but not least Andrew we got viral news story number four coming out of China Andrew and it all sort of ties into number two and number three under because things are so Unfun or unfair or people are no longer believing in the Chinese dream of the previous two three four decades Andrew Tomping which means to lie down and by line which means to let it rot are becoming popular Slacker slogans for like people who maybe have a little bit of money from their family, but they're like, yeah I just kind of gave up I just like party or just do my like interest every day because if I put a lot of time into my career I'm still not gonna get rich or that, you know, all the spots above me and my company already taken up. It's no fair It's no fun. I just want to like cruise by in life be a slacker It's almost like a weed smoking like stoner slacker attitude Andrew, but mine is the weed because that's not available I recently watched a lot of videos on this type of culture happening in China And it's really from kids who told growing up to work very hard and that they're gonna move up But then they don't really see the way up So then they're just kind of bowing out of the game and I mean it affects men and women But I think a lot of the guys are giving up too But I think that's different because you know in America We have like this free market where you have all these different side hustles You can do you can like trade options on Robin Hood or get rich off She but you knew well, you know, you did get rich off see me when I don't know my anymore but there's also Amazon drop shipping and all these hustles that you can do to make money in America because America such a money focused society, but in China, you don't always have all those other side opportunities So these kids are told to focus on climbing the traditional ladders and they don't like the traditional traditional ladders They don't like what they're seeing and they don't like what they're getting. So I kind of feel bad for him Yeah, I do feel bad for it I think anytime you look at a large cultural phenomena and obviously it's not a hundred percent of everybody That's like 20 to like 40 going through Tang Ping and by line, you know, which is lying down or let it rot but like a pretty sizable portion and like you said Andrew anything that's sizable on a racial basis across like 1.35 billion people is a ton of people I hope that if people like do give up in life They're at least able to like do it in a more constructive way. You know what I mean? Like let's say for example You want to play basketball all day long and that's your way of like quitting your job because you're no longer trying to move up The ladder right at least maybe like start a basketball company or like a small little side hustle involving basketball leagues or be Entrepreneurial in your mindset, right and I mean maybe uh, these people just wanted to break stereotypes Oh, you think the Chinese people only want to work? Well, guess what? I want to break that stereotype and not work Yeah, I think in a country full of like model minorities and overachievers, you know China reached this like burnout phase pretty quickly because the stages of development like we're so hyper accelerated over the past couple decades Yeah, we'll see what happens I don't know nobody can really change society that easily It's usually like a thing that takes like millions of people to reorient All right, you guys let us know what you thought of the stories in the comment section below guys I think there's a lot to take away if you're a Chinese American Sometimes it's kind of cool to see stuff happening in China because guess what? There's takeaways even about tiger parenting for the way we live our lives here in America or the West Yeah Let us know in the comments down below what you think about these news articles and our takes and if you have anything You want to add? You know again, I think with globalization and as Asian Americans We find out more about our counterparts in Asia and then them in Asia. They know more about us in America it's kind of like building this type of Kind of cultural knowledge bridge or awareness. I suppose so hopefully, you know, it's just there to build bridges in the future But anyways guys, those are your four viral Chinese news articles Let us know what you think and send us any more that you think we should talk about until next time we out. Peace
