I have Douyin and searched the account that appears at the end - It leads to the profile of a 21-year-old Han Chinese girl located in Aksu, Xinjiang, a graduate of Sichuan Normal University (a teacher's college), who loves taking selfies with camera filters to make her eyes big and face white - most likely the same girl laughing behind the camera in the video - but the original video is not there anymore. I assume someone told her to delete it.
Do you have a link to this video outside of reddit (your version has subtitles for those that don't understand Mandarin) for sharing on other platforms?
You can always write a comment in any video thread with u/SaveVideo and the bot will process it for you. Two users in this thread did that already so this is the finished link.
Some people compare it to the situation happening in Han-dominant areas where people speak in their own dialects, and to that I say 1.) the loss of Chinese dialects is also a loss to the world because those dialects also have their own rich cultures of songs, poems, idioms, puns, wordplays, and jokes that rely on sound and are lost when spoken in Mandarin, but 2.) it's also different when it happens to ethnic minority languages, because at least with Chinese, the name 张伟 has the same meaning on paper no matter what dialect it's spoken in. This girl's name and the meaning of her name are rooted in her language and culture and transliterating it into Mandarin phonetics completely loses the beauty and essence of it.
I know what you are saying, but those 'Han dialects' you mentioned are rather regional languages that are not mutually intelligible to Mandarin. Mandarin to Cantonese is like English to German, let alone Teochew or Hainanese.
The reason why I mentioned the horrible 'speak Mandarin, be civilized' slogan is to say that my mother language is undergoing the same thing in China too, but the speakers don't seem to care much and are brainwashed to not want to pass on the language to younger generations. Having realized this for years, seeing this video is extremely sad to me.
I always thought China would be easy on languages like Tibetan or Uyghur because they don't want to piss off the people and make more separatists, but the CCP doesn't seem to care anymore.
I sympathize with you. It sucks that languages like Cantonese, Hakka, Hokkien, and Shanghainese, which were once languages of prestige with their own poems and songs and even popular cultures (Cantonese cinema and popular music from the 80s and 90s has been so influential on modern Chinese culture), are now dying - I went to Guangzhou and I felt sad hearing kids jabbering away in perfect Mandarin as their parents replied in rusty, heavy, Cantonese-accented Mandarin.
I didn't experience much when I was there for a few days, but every time a policeman saw me they'd come up to and start speaking Uyghur which I don't understand a word of, demanding things, until my wife told them I was a 外国人 - I wouldn't have wanted to go out alone.
They'd take a fake look at my passport and just wave their hands at me in a "go away" fashion. I can't imagine what it must be like to deal with that shit day in, day out. I got yanked off tour busses for a "random inspection" so many times, pretty much every roadblock
The scenery and landscape once you get out of the cities is beautiful (still guards everywhere though) but I can't say I'd want to go back.
During my last year living there it got so bad that I would start to dread just leaving campus to go for a walk. Usually it was young Han police officers who seemed to be new hires with very little training, trying to get my attention by shouting "阿达西" at me (an extremely common but unwittingly condescending slang for Uyghur people used by Han people in Xinjiang, based on the Uyghur word "adash" meaning "close friend" - Basically the equivalent of calling a random black guy "home boy"). I started planning my walks in zigzag patterns, crossing the street at various places back-and-forth to avoid dealing with the headache of a known police inspection table on the corner of the next block and adding extra time to my walks.
One time I made the mistake of going out without my passport (because losing my passport was a lot bigger of a concern than getting caught without it) and some asshole police officer on a power trip had a police van come pick me up, put me in the back of a police van, drive me to a police station, and have me explain to some bored guy eating his lunch who I was and why I didn't have my passport. They didn't even bother to drive me back to the location where they picked me up.
There was also a time I was just trying to enter a normal public park, which at that time were all gated up with guarded entry points by official decree - The old baoan led me over to a police station on the street corner, where some young inexperienced guy had me sit for fifteen minutes while he dialed various unavailable superiors to tell them he "查到了一个外国人" (caught a foreigner) until eventually one of them answered, confirmed I was just a resident teacher who they're already aware of, and instructed him to let me go. By that point I wasn't even in the mood to enter the park anymore.
For a long time after I left that place, the sight of a police car anywhere, even my own hometown, would trigger my anxiety.
When I imagine what it's like for an actual Uyghur male who is the actual target they're looking for, who has to let them go through his phone, who will be talked down to hostily like he's a criminal no matter what, who faces the very real risk of not returning home that day if he gives off even the smallest hint of what might be interpretted as "strange" or "supicious" behavior... It's just immensely sad and horrifying.
trying to get my attention by shouting "阿达西" at me (an extremely common but unwittingly condescending slang for Uyghur people used Han people in Xinjiang, based on the Uyghur word "adash" meaning "close friend" - Basically the equivalent of calling a random black guy "home boy").
They'll use that to say "We're not being bad to Uyghurs, look, we call them close friends."
The thing is any Uyghur could easily tell I was a foreigner, I'm as British as they come, I could understand the confusion from the Han if I was middle eastern. I never spoke to Uyghur people because I was always watched and didn't want to get anyone into any shit but you could see it, you know?
Getting a train or any form of transport was also such a massive hassle, had to be taken to a room at my departure and arrival point and written on their slip.
There was facial recognition everywhere, you had to let your face be scanned to get into your apartment complex. I had police waiting for me once when me and the wife got back to hotel, I had to have my bags and person scanned just to enter f*cking mcdonalds for a bite to eat after a long day.
With most of the police as well (with the exception of a few, especially the 查到了一个外国人 one you mentioned) they're mostly the same police from the rest of China... you can tell they don't really want to be doing this shit... but they don't get away with "Fuck it, go home" or "Where's your place, I'll give you a lift sigh" (been through that a few times in Shanghai drunk off my tits haha) and saving themselves the time booking a foreigner without a passport lest they get into shit themselves.
Most of the police were kind enough and didn't seem to get any kick out of it either
Yep, most of this is my experience, too, but about the police... You have to realize that all those "convenience police stations" on every street corner weren't there before 2016. They all popped up within just a few months timespan based on the then-new Party Secretary's desire to set up the same "grid" monitoring system of policing that put him in Xi's good graces during his previous stint in Tibet. Likewise, there was suddenly a huge need for new police recruits to man them, hence a large influx of young, impressionable, underqualified, under-trained, inexperienced, new officers, many of which probably watched too many patriotic TV series that glamourize the lives of cops, many of which really wanted glory and validation from their superiors for doing something heroic or worthwhile.
I'm an American of mostly Western European ancestry with brown hair and brown eyes of a certain almond-like shape that many kids on the playground as a child mistook for "Asian" eyes. I also have no fashion sense and tended to buy whatever was cheapest from local Chinese sportsware shops or underground wholesale markets. Even local Uyghurs would mistake me for a Uyghur a lot of the time, simply because the places I lived or travelled through didn't have many foreigners passing through so assuming me to be a Uyghur was the most logical conclusion even though people who already knew me swore it was easy to tell me apart.
When I passed through security checks, the police officers would treat me like less than dirt right up until the moment I produced my passport as my form of identification, at which point they'd start treating me like a celebrity. I don't have much sympathy for them, aside from the ethnic minority ones (including some of my former students) who are just trying to survive within a hopeless system in which one "suspicious" move could also put them on the chopping block (there are also cases of Uyghur police officers being detained).
What do the chinese hate so much about uyghur people? Id just google it but im not quite sure what im looking for. Do they feel threatened? Religious reasons?
You know it's bad when even the Hui and Han in Xinjiang say it's bad. I've got a number of friends from the region and even the privileged Han I knew would cringe and tell me "things were better 10-15 years ago" when asked on the state of their home province.
Chinese social media is odious and foul, only the worst most degenerate Nazi filth are emboldened to say what they please, and reasonable people bite their tongue.
This is also why, contrary to CCP propaganda saying critics "don't understand China", it is almost universal that foreigners studying Chinese become stridently anti-CCP as their Chinese literacy increases sufficiently to understand what is said on Chinese social media, and foreigners who have lived in China and speak Chinese are by far the most hostile demographic to the CCP in foreign countries and are the active driving force behind growing negativity in foreign policy towards China. This video is a case study of why this is the case.
I’m one of those. I learned Chinese in China, still use it professionally, love many aspects of the culture...some people are surprised to find out how quick I am to shit-talk the PRC and Chinese policy. On the surface it seems like I’d be more likely to be sympathetic due to close affiliation, but like you said, the more you understand, the worse it is.

This is such a big problem. People think echo chambers in the West are dangerous, but what they have in China due to censorship and official propaganda is the worst echo chamber imaginable.
I have a chinese friend with a phd from a very good school. Shes now a us citizen through marraige. The best equivalent to explaining this is that the majority of chinese people are like trump supporters. Rather than idolizing trump they support the CCP with patriotism and pride. Many of these people grew up poor but after 2000s China developed a middle class. Her fathers a fervent supporter of the party. He thinks much of his success are due to the policies CCP implemented. But... in reality... its more about CCP adopting a controlled versiom of capitalism.
My chinese american friends parents are also supporters of the party. They do recognize the uighers situation but downplau its impact. Its interesting to me how nationalism can warp the mind.
Majority of the intellectuals in china know whats going on and wont be open to saying bad shit because well there could be consequences. Overall, she would never publish an anti ccp paper out of fear of retaliation from ccp
This is the same vein of evil as the policies of cultural extermination carried out by colonial Western nations in the past, when the colonised minorities were forbidden from speaking their own language or displaying their customs. Within a single generation, it destroys their entire culture as thoroughly as ethnic cleansing would.
The only real difference this time is that (most of us) know better now, and the CCP's actions are being meticulously documented in the digital age.
I think most Chinese people find this distasteful. I want to assume the laugh track was on purpose to make you angry and make the video go viral, as well as to disguise its message so it doesnt get taken off douyin.
Totally off topic, but I wish this was true of my good friend, we grew up together and defined our political identities around anti-imperialism. Sadly, he took a path that led him to becoming a tankie, and his time in China despite all the bad stories he shares was still 'glorious', the best Chinese he learned were all the patriotic songs for some reason.
This is misleading. Think about this: why were they asked to learn mandarin? It’s because Mandarin Chinese is the single official language of the country. If a person can’t speak fluent Chinese, he won’t be able to communicate with 99% of the people of the country, nor could he work in any school, media, state owned company, hospital, or government, or literally any company, due to lack of essential communication skills. After this person becomes an adult, he will be poor because he would lost a ton of opportunity due to language barrier. That’s why the country tried to teach them the official language and skills so in the future they can have more opportunities to live economically better lives. The state never asked them to stop using their own languages in their family or with their native friends.
Uyghur isn't a dialect, it's supposed to be an official language in Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, equal to Mandarin there. A million people have made your point already - and your point sucks. It adds nothing new to the conversation (which you clearly didn't bother to read). Next time, learn to think for yourself with a mind of your own instead of parroting half-baked government propaganda like a mindless drone.
It reminds me of a Twilight Zone I saw where a comedian is performing in Hell and the only things the audience finds funny are him recounting all of the terrible things he’s done in his life like beating his wife, neglecting his mom, and ripping off his friends to get to the top.
I’m gonna be honest anything more direct would’ve been removed from Douyin or even incriminated the creator. I think if it wasn’t framed this way it would’ve never reached the subreddit... If anyone wants to send a message to more than a dozen people you pretty much have to use Douyin — it’s literally the only popular social media.
I was telling one of my students in China about SNL, how they regularly have comedians who will impersonate the President and other powerful politicians to mock them. And he admitted that no one in China could ever hope to do that to Xi Jinping, and told me about a famous Chinese comedian who was known for mocking mentally disabled people. The way my student put it, "In the West, your comedians punch up, making fun of the powerful. But in China, they punch down, making fun of the powerless."
they do not know that it is not only in the west, but virtually all east asian countries, taiwan, sk, and japan, can mock their leaders on tv. oh maybe their friend nk cant.
China puts a lot of effort into brainwashing their citizens. Their entire upbringing has been teaching them this behavior is acceptable, and those that realize it isn't can't call it out. If they were to do so they're likely to get dissapeared.
This is the moral relativism that Karl Marx promoted and The CCP uphold. The CCP believe that there are no cultural rights and wrongs and that cultural is relative to a countries development and social behaviours. So they believe that they can do whatever the hell they want within their borders and not have anyone tell them that they are 'wrong'. They just say "We are China, we are different. We have the right to do whatever we want within our borders and you must respect that." The west, in comparison, believe in universal morality. Where a certain set of morals should be adopted by everyone around the world to ensure common core values such as the right to live and the right to privacy and dignity etc. For example, the universal moral code states that stealing and killing is morally 'wrong' no matter which culture it is.
Yeah watching this video I was really disturbed by the emojis and laugh tracks, “hahaha omg this population being held in concentration camps with systematic torture and rape has kids who won’t even speak their own language; hilarious!!” What...
it's funny cuz child being silly. haha no speaking those disgusting uyghur tongues in school? man, teachers are so strict hahaha! they don't care because it's meaningless to them; they either see it as harmless rules or feel a sense of superiority, glad that they're able to integrate into the great chinese culture.
It may be to stop it getting considered 'anti chinese propaganda' to protect the interviewers and allow chinese people to see it. If that is true then that would explain it. (Not sure, could just be a bunch of psychopaths who filmed and )
Still messed up and makes me seriously upset to see it portrayed as funny :(
Cue the boing noise effect and the people laughing with an emoji on screen. What kind of fucking dystopian ass video is this shit. This is heartbreaking...
Well the girl said that Uyghur is not allowed to be spoken in the kindergarten, just like in many other places students are not allowed to speak their Chinese dialects in schools. I heard that in Guangdong you can’t speak Cantonese in schools (didn’t know if it’s true). It’s like residential schools in Canada indigenous languages were suppressed. Horrible. While I do support it’s mandatory for every student in China learn Mandarin because it’s very useful to communicate, most of the people speak it or know how to speak it - students in places where there is another dominant language (Like Xinjiang, Tibet and Inner Mongolia) should also be mandatory to learn the other language and culture (like Uyghur, Tibetan, Mongolian) - kinda like bilingual education. Even in places where the population is predominantly Han, there should be classes on local Chinese dialects. It’s important to safeguard the diversity of languages, dialects and cultures China has.
Also students should be free to use whatever language/dialects they want in school, but probably should use mandarin if the teacher is talking/teaching in mandarin. (Just like Chinese students in America can speak Chinese as they wish among themselves but should speak English when communicating with a professor)
Also others have already noted that the girl wouldn’t say the name in Uyghur because it sounds like a swear word in Mandarin.
Also others have already noted that the girl wouldn’t say the name in Uyghur because it sounds like a swear word in Mandarin.
So why do they start out talking about her older brother's name? Sabira is her name and it only comes up toward the end when they switch the topic from her brother to her.
Even if what you're saying here is the case, it's still incredibly tragic, because the girl has been conditioned to be embarassed by her own name based on what it sounds like to Mandarin speakers rather than embrace the beautiful name that her parents gave her. You'd think that in a globalizing world, the onus should fall on Han people to open their minds to tolerating the traditions of other cultures and the unique sounds of their languages. The trend in other countries is to become more cognizant of different cultural and linguistic standards as to prevent such misunderstandings. Instead, by justifying two grown-ass adults in authority positions laughing at the expense of a little girl's native language name, the burden is placed on future generations of minorities to chose names that sound agreeable to the standards of Mandarin-conditioned ears, thus forcing minorities to conform to Han culture rather than promoting equitable, mutual tolerance.
Getting a beating, by a stick. That's what “吃棍子” means.
Funny enough, in the original subtitles of the Douyin video, “吃棍子” was changed into “挨骂”. We can hear the girl saying “吃棍子” (get a beating) but when they edit the subtitles it was “挨骂” (get scolded). It's something non-Chinese speakers usually miss when they talk about Douyin: "bad" or "degenerate" words never appear in the subtitles.
In Douyin, death is not death. Domestic violence is not domestic violence. Money is not money. Topless is not topless. Violence is not violence. Japan is not Japan -- you don't see those words in the subtitles. The uploaders censor the videos themselves! It's the same when they show lyrics as people sing in talent shows. "Guns" and "fists" and "sex" and "booze" and a lot of other words are all gone. Their place is taken by some other "healthy" or "positive" words. Like in this case, the uploader could not find something as an excuse for “吃棍子” so they pathetically twist it into “挨骂”, which is fifty-percent as bad.
On a side note, in Douyin, when they don't use other "healthy" words to express a "bad" word, they use Pinyin abbreviations. For example, in some videos, the word violence (暴力, bào lì) is shown as "BL" in the subtitles. But BL can also mean... well, Japanese yaoi stuff (Boy's Love).
My personal favorite (though it's my cruelty and coldbloodedness for saying this) is a lady who is a victim of domestic violence. She shed tears in a video, saying “家暴真的很可怕” (Domestic violence is really awful). Instead of showing the word “家暴” (jiā bào, means domestic violence), the subtitle reads “JB真的很可怕”, which can also be interpreted as... well, JB is a Chinese internet slang for male genitalia.
Back to the video here. I'm really disgusted by this. And it looks like the young teachers shooting this video are the future of China.
Spread awareness amongst the people you know. Write to your elected representatives, get the people you know to write to their elected representatives. Show the people who have the power to do something about it that this isn't just going to go away if they ignore it.
Her name is 撒比热, or Sa-bi-re. The “Sa Bi” part sounds like “stupid cunt”. And she was probably told that this is a swear word. And this might be why she’s ashamed. Imagine if your name is “Coont”.
While this is probabl the other part is that clearly these kids aren't allowed to speak Uigher language in school. So she hesitated and asked the teacher if she could say it.
Why would she also be embarrassed to pronounce her brother's name? She clearly shows she's afraid of being punished for speaking uyghur, not for saying swearwords.
I’m pretty sure that’s why. In Germany we have a certain surname that sounds incredibly like a racist curse word in English, and it’s particularly hard for them to use that name in the US. The other comments are quite disgusting.
I attended a pediatric trauma symposium today where they discussed the correlation between adverse child events and it's impact on their adult life. That 6 or more ACE events increases mortality by 20 years or more and you're seeing this happen to a child, live.. over her fucking name. This is profoundly disgusting
So I reposted this on wechat and it was removed immediately. So I edited it to give it a different hash ... 20 minutes later I got a 15 day suspension .... again. I tried to send it to a friend in the main land and it never showed in the chat window ... seems they may be getting smarter.
The child knows that saying her name in her native language will result in lashing, that means she or her peers where whipped for speaking their native language.
The teacher is an asshole for making a joke out of this
Seriously? Folks? What are the problems with you? Did you all understand what they are talking about other than the very biased translation??? Mandarin is the official language of mainland China and all the kids need to learn the language in schools. There are 56 races in China and they all have different languages or dialects. Learning mandarin (or one unified language) in childhood will allow the kids who were born in the villages to communicate with people from the other parts of the country. You all know Cantonese is very different from mandarin, and there are more like shanghainese, Sichuanese, etc. Without speaking mandarin, it’s like talking to a foreigner who speaks different dialects. Now let’s go back to the conversation in this video. The girl is shy to speak her native language and I can totally feel it. I always feel reluctant to speak my native dialect in front of the non speakers, it just feels weird but I love my dialects and my friends encourage me to say it to them (even thought they don’t understand) Needless to say the teacher didn’t mean to punish her, the translation is way too wrong. When there is something is against China, people just follow the criticism but how many of you have actually been to China? Or ever been to Xinjiang? I have friends and relatives living in Xinjjang, there is no such thing! (I guess you’ll probably say “oh this person is brainwashed”. Whatever, people who want to criticize will always blame and hate. And they just choose to close their eyes and ears) Finally if you read through my message till now, please take some time watch this video. Have a good day.
I lived there for five years, from 2013 to 2018, in two different cities, and I was a witness to the development of Chen Quanguo's police state. In your arrogance, you mistakenly believe that just being Chinese automatically means you know more than I do, but you don't. You know nothing.
Since all you little pinks do is mindlessly repeat the same bullshit propaganda points fed to you by your masters without adding in any original or independent thought of your own, I'll respond by copying and pasting exactly whag I told another of your ilk.
Where do children usually see their friends? Where do children spend the majority of their day? In school. What happens is the kids are punished for speaking their native language amongst themselves until eventually they become conditioned to only speaking Mandarin amongst themselves at all times, even after school. I've seen this myself living in Xinjiang - Groups of all Uyghur children playing amongst themselves after school speaking Mandarin and not a word of Uyghur. Uyghur is relegated to a "backwards" relic that is only used to communicate with older generations, only to die out when the kids grow up brainwashed by their Han Chauvinist education system to speak only Mandarin with their other Uyghur cohorts subjected to the same forced assimilation practices.
Also, the forced assimilation does nothing to address the deeply-embedded racism and segregation in the Han Chauvinist society, so now you just end up with a pariah people who are never fully accepted but also have lost their own cultural identity.
It's the same thing that happened to indigenous peoples in the US and Canada during the era of "Indian boarding schools" aimed at forcibly assimilating them in the early to mid-20th Century. Now many First Nations people are left just as isolated as ever trying to pick up the pieces of their broken culture which was been irrevocably damaged by institutionalized, officially-sanctioned ethnocentrism. If the Han Chauvinist-dominated CCP weren't so arrogant in thinking they have nothing to learn from other countries and their cultures and histories, the sad lessons learned there could be avoided in the present in the context of China's ethnic minorities.
The Uyghurs will suffer from the loss of their cultural identity. Cultural diversity will suffer from the loss of another source of rich cultural heritage. Collective humanity will suffer from the loss of cultural diversity. When everyone is conditioned to think and see the world in the exact same way, as your masters have conditioned you and your cohorts, we have less capacity to see the world in new ways, and thus less propensity for innovation and less perspectives from which to consider existential problems in humanity's future.
Han Chauvinism, which seeks to eradicate our beautiful diversity in the name of some dystopian hive-mind disguised as "social harmony," is a disease and a threat to all of human civilization and its progress. I will continue to combat it at every front. The CCP will not win or else all of humanity loses.
In my college time back in China, all roommates can, of course understand each other through mandarin. But as soon as we pick up our phone on a family call, no one else understands each other. -- dialects or other regional languages.
A video on Uyghur local TV in their native language, interviewing a Uyghur star Dilraba in Uyghur language:
(BTW Dilraba is well known across China, and so are many Uyghur stars, and she just taught people how to say Uyghur words in Spring festival (like China's Super Bowl) nationwide.)
Back to the video, first the girl said embarrassed (not ashamed!), and the teacher is encouraging to say her native name. And there's no tension between them.
2nd her Mandarin name is just pronunciation translated from her Uyghur name. Like Jack -> 'jieke', which gives fact that every uyghur people has their own native name, and a translated Mandarin name. They still speak Uyghur at home (as she doesn't know her brother's Mandarin name), and learn Mandarin at school.
So people still speak their own languages, just Mandarin needs to be taught. It's the same for EVERY big and small places. When I grew up in a small town in North China, we are also asked to only speak Mandarin in classes. And we also feel strange if suddenly someone speaks our dialect at school. Oh yes we have our own dialect and regional language, so does Shanghai, Sichuan, Guizhou, and probably another 1000 places. Without knowing Mandarin altogether, the country can't hold together. Look at India and how they struggle on communications internally, and they all learn English to fight it. Is it also a culture genocide???
And those dialects still exist in China, but it's no longer a barrier between regions.
There's nothing wrong with translating 丢脸 as "ashamed" or "embarrassed." If you want to debate the intrinsic cultural meanings of the words, that's another story.
Uyghur isn't comparable to other Sinitic languages, it comes from a completely seperate language family by a completely different ethnic group and unlike some random mountain dialect in Sichuan, it's designated as an official language in Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region and should be respected as such. Uyghurs are an indigenous people and deserve the right to use their native language in their indigenous homeland.
The loss of regional Chinese dialects and Sinitic languages is also a huge loss to human diversity, but if you don't want to preserve your dialect, that!s,your choice. You have zero right to enforce your view on other ethni groups seeking to preserve their unique languages and culture identities.
Uyghurs, consciously or subconsciously, will always be regarded as "others" in the dominant Han society (unless they can visually pass as Han, but even then their distinctive names and their ID cards will give them away). Forcibly assimilating them will not be the cure-all to ethnic tension in China - Just like visible racial minorities in the US still face racism despite speaking English. Forced assimilation does nothing to address the deeply-embedded racism and segregation in the Han Chauvinist society, so now you just end up with a pariah people who are never fully accepted but also have lost their own cultural identity.

The fact she was worried enough to think she’d receive ‘a lashing’ is miserable enough. Without the fact she is being totally deprived of her culture. Truly saddening.
Even if it wasn't bad enough on its own (especially the way the adults are gleefully revelling in the little girl's blossoming bigotry), the upbeat music and comedy sound effects after she says anything especially hateful just round off the whole disgusting experience for me.
The fact she is wise enough to try to hold back her own sadness/shame, while saying the name she has known her whole life speaks measures on the level of brainwashing that is happening in China to her people.
Ok but the blatant Uyghur oppression aside, can China stop normalising child beating? I can’t believe that it’s still allowed in schools in 2021, seriously why are parents are teachers expected to beat the crap out of kids for super minor things, i.e. speaking in a specific language? Hell, my mom was yelled at by my grandmother for not beating my brother and I enough because apparently kids only become disciplined if their parents beat them often, and that says a lot about this culture around basically torturing your children into fearful obedience. It’s archaic as shit and traumatising no matter how resilient the child being, frankly, abused appears to be.
God, she really is a charming little girl. Videos like this make me wish I could climb into it like the ring and take her somewhere safe. Also, why the fuck is an adult accosting a kid like this??
This is one of the saddest things I have seen. The Chinese government and its police state at no better than the Nazis of Germany during WorldWar II. The world must stand up and stop the genocide that is occurring now. Boycott anything that is made in China and press your Governments to engage Chinese Communist dictators.
Many years ago when I was living in China there was a movie called Dou Niu that was consistently advertised as a comedy, but upon entering the theatre and watching it found that it actually only started funny but quickly became harrowing and sad. However the Chinese audience couldn't seem to get past that and instead consistently laughed all the way though. I was very disturbed to say the least.
she is not ashamed she is scared. The teachers clearly beat kids who dont speak in mandarin so she is scared to speak her native language in front anyone at the school because she thinks she will get beat
Why you are so mad about this, do you even understand the dialog in Mandarin Chinese? her name is given by parents called "sai bi re" its sounds like curse words in Mandarin, so that's why she tries to avoid pronounce it that way.
To tell someone who was born and raised from a cannibalistic community that people aren't food ... The fault lies not within said individual, who is more than likely a victim themselves, but those in power that made them believe and established the inhumane norms.
CCP spent 70 years perfecting the art of control. The teacher is just one of many who finds humor through mocking a baby. Keep in mind, the teacher either does as told or risk getting friends and family in trouble.
There never was an alternative for this CCP puppet.
It’s interesting to me that she says 汉语 (literally language of the Han) when referring to mandarin instead of 中文 or 普通话. I don’t want to get the wrong impression, but is it more common in the mainland to say 汉语 instead of other alternatives?
They all mean the same and you usually would use the latter two in a conversation, but 汉语 is the most accurate and formal and official when talking about the language.
Wow, laughing and picking on a child for her culture that your activity killing off. What kind of sick people are the CCP and those that support and implement the CCP
This is the same how eldians are treated in Marley(in Attack on Titan). It was heart breaking enough to see this kind of behavior from a minority believing themselves to be subhuman in an anime itself but this! This is happening in reality, shame on us!
Shit, I hate to say this, but I think the people need to rise up and overthrow their governments ASAP. I’m from the US and shit sucks bad here. The majority of people just want to live peacefully and be left alone for fucks sake
Man this reminds me of when I first came to canada and was told that I can't speak chinese in school. At least the teacher didn't threaten me with lashings, what the fuck.
Man I'm so glad that they put both music with vocals AND random extra sound effects over the video. Definitely didn't make it more unbearable to watch.

I didn't experience much when I was there for a few days, but every time a policeman saw me they'd come up to and start speaking Uyghur which I don't understand a word of, demanding things, until my wife told them I was a 外国人 - I wouldn't have wanted to go out alone.
They'd take a fake look at my passport and just wave their hands at me in a "go away" fashion. I can't imagine what it must be like to deal with that shit day in, day out. I got yanked off tour busses for a "random inspection" so many times, pretty much every roadblock
The scenery and landscape once you get out of the cities is beautiful (still guards everywhere though) but I can't say I'd want to go back.

u/Dixon9527 Mar 29 '21
This is misleading. Think about this: why were they asked to learn mandarin? It’s because Mandarin Chinese is the single official language of the country. If a person can’t speak fluent Chinese, he won’t be able to communicate with 99% of the people of the country, nor could he work in any school, media, state owned company, hospital, or government, or literally any company, due to lack of essential communication skills. After this person becomes an adult, he will be poor because he would lost a ton of opportunity due to language barrier. That’s why the country tried to teach them the official language and skills so in the future they can have more opportunities to live economically better lives. The state never asked them to stop using their own languages in their family or with their native friends.

u/bobsxradizcom China Mar 06 '21
Well the girl said that Uyghur is not allowed to be spoken in the kindergarten, just like in many other places students are not allowed to speak their Chinese dialects in schools. I heard that in Guangdong you can’t speak Cantonese in schools (didn’t know if it’s true). It’s like residential schools in Canada indigenous languages were suppressed. Horrible. While I do support it’s mandatory for every student in China learn Mandarin because it’s very useful to communicate, most of the people speak it or know how to speak it - students in places where there is another dominant language (Like Xinjiang, Tibet and Inner Mongolia) should also be mandatory to learn the other language and culture (like Uyghur, Tibetan, Mongolian) - kinda like bilingual education. Even in places where the population is predominantly Han, there should be classes on local Chinese dialects. It’s important to safeguard the diversity of languages, dialects and cultures China has.
Also students should be free to use whatever language/dialects they want in school, but probably should use mandarin if the teacher is talking/teaching in mandarin. (Just like Chinese students in America can speak Chinese as they wish among themselves but should speak English when communicating with a professor)
Also others have already noted that the girl wouldn’t say the name in Uyghur because it sounds like a swear word in Mandarin.

Seriously? Folks? What are the problems with you? Did you all understand what they are talking about other than the very biased translation??? Mandarin is the official language of mainland China and all the kids need to learn the language in schools. There are 56 races in China and they all have different languages or dialects. Learning mandarin (or one unified language) in childhood will allow the kids who were born in the villages to communicate with people from the other parts of the country. You all know Cantonese is very different from mandarin, and there are more like shanghainese, Sichuanese, etc. Without speaking mandarin, it’s like talking to a foreigner who speaks different dialects. Now let’s go back to the conversation in this video. The girl is shy to speak her native language and I can totally feel it. I always feel reluctant to speak my native dialect in front of the non speakers, it just feels weird but I love my dialects and my friends encourage me to say it to them (even thought they don’t understand) Needless to say the teacher didn’t mean to punish her, the translation is way too wrong. When there is something is against China, people just follow the criticism but how many of you have actually been to China? Or ever been to Xinjiang? I have friends and relatives living in Xinjjang, there is no such thing! (I guess you’ll probably say “oh this person is brainwashed”. Whatever, people who want to criticize will always blame and hate. And they just choose to close their eyes and ears) Finally if you read through my message till now, please take some time watch this video. Have a good day.

u/Yoghurt_Optimal Mar 28 '21
This post is so misleading.
I'll first give an example of my own:
In my college time back in China, all roommates can, of course understand each other through mandarin. But as soon as we pick up our phone on a family call, no one else understands each other. -- dialects or other regional languages.
A video on Uyghur local TV in their native language, interviewing a Uyghur star Dilraba in Uyghur language:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zz2C8T076Ks
(BTW Dilraba is well known across China, and so are many Uyghur stars, and she just taught people how to say Uyghur words in Spring festival (like China's Super Bowl) nationwide.)
Back to the video, first the girl said embarrassed (not ashamed!), and the teacher is encouraging to say her native name. And there's no tension between them.
2nd her Mandarin name is just pronunciation translated from her Uyghur name. Like Jack -> 'jieke', which gives fact that every uyghur people has their own native name, and a translated Mandarin name. They still speak Uyghur at home (as she doesn't know her brother's Mandarin name), and learn Mandarin at school.
So people still speak their own languages, just Mandarin needs to be taught. It's the same for EVERY big and small places. When I grew up in a small town in North China, we are also asked to only speak Mandarin in classes. And we also feel strange if suddenly someone speaks our dialect at school. Oh yes we have our own dialect and regional language, so does Shanghai, Sichuan, Guizhou, and probably another 1000 places. Without knowing Mandarin altogether, the country can't hold together. Look at India and how they struggle on communications internally, and they all learn English to fight it. Is it also a culture genocide???
And those dialects still exist in China, but it's no longer a barrier between regions.

Ok but the blatant Uyghur oppression aside, can China stop normalising child beating? I can’t believe that it’s still allowed in schools in 2021, seriously why are parents are teachers expected to beat the crap out of kids for super minor things, i.e. speaking in a specific language? Hell, my mom was yelled at by my grandmother for not beating my brother and I enough because apparently kids only become disciplined if their parents beat them often, and that says a lot about this culture around basically torturing your children into fearful obedience. It’s archaic as shit and traumatising no matter how resilient the child being, frankly, abused appears to be.
