I was reading the comments on that video; I'll post both the Mandarin and translation:
她在中国另一个平台是一个拥有2.2万粉丝的博主,在城市里有车有房过着富裕的生活,以她一口流利的英语就知道她是接受过大学教育的人。这只是她的祖宅,年久失修,因为不会长久居住(甚至不住)。至于为什么在这里哭穷,聪明的中国人都知道。流量能让她赚更多的钱! She is a blogger with 22,000 followers on another platform in China. She has a car and a house and lives a wealthy life in the city. From her fluent English, we can tell that she is a college-educated person. This is just her ancestral home, which has fallen into disrepair because she will not live in it for a long time (or even not live in it). As for why she is crying poor here, smart Chinese people know it. Traffic can make her more money!
因为她确实在欺骗你们,这个房子不是她最近几年住的房子。在中国,能说英语,普通话流畅的女性,绝对是接受过很好教育的。根据她受教育程度,她的收入不会低。她居住房子肯定是在城市里,她特意跑回很多年前已经抛弃的危房拍视频以吸引流量。你们这些外国人,已经有人提出要给她钱。虽然她拒绝了,因为她知道她一旦接受钱,我们就会举报她诈骗!
Because she is really deceiving you. This house is not the one she has lived in in recent years. In China, a woman who can speak English and fluent Mandarin is definitely well educated. According to her education level, her income is not low. The house she lives in must be in the city. She deliberately went back to the abandoned dilapidated house many years ago to shoot videos to attract traffic. You foreigners, someone has offered to give her money. Although she refused, because she knew that if she accepted the money, we would report her for fraud!
People need to make a note of this. This is the general userbase of XHS, it's a microcosm of Chinese society, it's not really representative of the average. As a general rule, anyone who comes from a non western/global south country whose lingua franca is not English, and can speak/communicate in English fluently (and not a dialect of English that's learnt from TV/social media/videogames/using translation software), is generally wealthier than most people from their country. Don't believe everything you see on the internet.
This gets really obvious when talking to Venezuelans being reactionary. They'll write English like a native speaker, then when you ask them what their family does, they'll tell you they own their own company. And it's like "Oh. So you hate socialism because the communists took away your rental properties."
The Venezuela stuff was making its rounds back in 2016ish when the US failed to do a coup. So a bunch of reactionaries who fled the country after failing were all over online lamenting about it.
Are you telling me trans people can't actually double-jump?
haha that's wild
