  • description: Please check out Honglins channel https://www.youtube.com/@UC9cvxZKhyTPyrbfkRADh55g For centuries, China's rivers have been vital to its survival. People from villages across the country used them to travel to the cities and sell their goods and wares. These rivers were once filled with thousands of boats carrying passengers in every direction. But today, China's road and highway network has become so vast and efficient that those boats became useless and went extinct. Except one. We found the last boat still operating for traders on the Yangtze River. But how is it surviving? Live streaming. The crew live stream the entire journey. Every second of it. And over 20,000 people tune in to watch. Many of them donate money. Enough that the boat runs for free. I wanted to document this boat. To find out whether this is truly a beautiful human story. Or a dystopian exploitation of the working class. enjoy, mike x Some other vids you should watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k8tdg6v0FQo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EIlIbE9HuB4&t=378s ------- Email me: mikeokay@mvetalent.com Follow me on insta: https://www.instagram.com/mikeokayyt/ -------- #china #livestream #travel
