I watched a few more videos of the Chinese woman.
There are some interesting things going on in those videos.
They live in a very plush part of China (not sure where), but it has sort of a tropical mountain forest feel to it.
It appears to be pretty primative in that area, very hilly, house is somewhat primitive.
Edit: Upon futher viewing, it seems pretty modern. She drives a nice gas 3-wheeler (that I would like to have), and a local sawmill has a powered bandsaw. Sort of a mix of light industrial, and primitive moutainous terrain.
She is welding in one video without a welding helmet. Good way to get cataracts really fast. Not cool.
There is a rather stark contrast between her somewhat primitive living conditions, and the polished and rather sophisticated videography, with nice drone shots of the area, etc. Someone has some pretty expensive video equipment, satellite uplink, video editing software, etc.
It is like a pro is doing the videography. This is not amature stuff.
There are two people in every video, the woman and the person filming.
The real star is the person filming. Most impressive work with most impressive scenery.
As I was watching one video, an Anime advertisement kept flashing across the bottom of the screen, LOL.
She is basically a live person anime character, or so it would seem.
Almost 200k subscribers in 5 months. That is the definition of going viral.
I know folks who have been on ytube for years, how have perhaps 20k subscribers.
There is a guy named Mechanic Steve, with a larger following, doing similar work, and without the breathtaking scenery, so it appears there is a big following of mechanic work by males and females, and this sort of rules out thinking people are only watching the woman because she is a woman.
His channel has not grown as exponentially fast as the womans's channel, but he still has an impressive number of subscribers (perhaps 1/2 million?).
It is a pretty unique combination of interesting terrain, working under semi-primitive conditions, different culture, and movie star face.
Makes me wonder if a pro is doing her videography.
No telling how many subscribers she will get too. I would guess millions at the rate she is gaining.
It is quite possible she and whoever is making the videos will become some of those ytube millionaires.
Just watching the scenery in the background is interesting.
So really this is a chinese version of a Hollywood reality series, and all things considered, they are beating the pants off of the garbage coming out of Hollywood these days.
Interesting turn of events for sure.
And her english is not bad, although she may just be reading off of a board without really being fluent in english.
Imagine us trying to make a video, and speaking in chinese. You have to hand it to her for that.
I think china is an interesting blend of primitive and modern.
They are rapidly gaining with technology.
It was not too many years ago that the US railroad buffs traveled to china to see their steam locomotives, which have been in common use until not too long ago.
Edit:
Reality is always stranger than fiction, and if I had to guess, the "poor village girl" is probably from a wealthy family.
Many of the clothes she wears in the videos are brand new.
In china, I think it would be a very bad thing to live in an extravagant house and such; due to envy and other things.
Her producer is the genius in these videos. No doubt that he will be a millionaire very shortly.
