Very interesting video. And so many people are in the same place that you are in, both in China and overseas - unemployed, not much money and struggling with every day life. I am interested to see where you go from here, and how you rebuild your life, so I have subscribed. Hello from America.😍

The starting point is the hardest part of turning your life around. Once you begin, though, every day that passes becomes a lesson — challenging your mind and body to make it happen. Don't look back; the past is done. Live in the present, because that's what you can control. One step at a time. Good luck 👍 and keep giving your best to get through this time of hardship. 🙏 from Philippines

Betrayal is such a big part in our world now. It happens anywhere!! You can only learn from it and look into the future!! You look to me like a guy you can do it, get up and get out this bad situation. I subscribed and support you. I'm unemployed too due to health issues so I have a rough idea what you are going through. This small business doesn't work in the US. All the best!! I like this video but at some point I would like to hear your real voice!!

Omg I’m so sorry this happened to you but the man I talk to each day in China it seems the same thing has happened to him as well. I love him so much! He is one of my favorite people and I only met him because we’re going through this together! I pray you meet many new friends. Find a loving partner. Find new hobbies and that that person ends up where they belong! I can’t wait to watch where you go and what happens! This can only be good news now! You are free to be anything and anyone you want! We are in the exact same place just opposite sides of the world. Let’s keep being the best parents we can be and find success. You have this! We all 3 do! And congrats on your channel. You have a beautiful point of view! Good luck!
