'Chinese subtitles' in Chinese should read '中文字幕' instead ...

A very interesting article.

I can't find the source, but I recall a story that when the early Jesuits arrived in China in the 16th century, they heard about Hebrew writings from the old Song-era communities in Kaifeng and were just beside themselves...they were convinced that they'd finally found THE lost tribe.

Another great video. Keep up the good work.

Wow, the lady speaks Mandarin really well except that the word "Ai Ren" she used to refer to that Chinese lady's husband sounds a little 80's fashion. The English speakers must feel the same way when I say "How do you do" as a greeting expression xD

I never would have imagined Jewish-Chinese cultural fusion like we saw in the bath house design. Could you show us more about the Jewish community in China (check the pre-war Jewish community in Shanghai)? I would be fascinated to see some ethnically Chinese practicing Jews.

That was wonderful. Another Su Fei triumph!
Speaking of Jews in China, I'm in the preliminary stages of a story about the only Chinese shabbos goy in Shenzhen. He turns the lights on and off etc on Sabbath for the only Lubivitcher Rebbe in SZ.
