 These three blonde American sisters are going viral right now for their passion to speak and sing in Mandarin but David, will the Chinese community support them and how's their music? Yeah, I cannot tell you how many times people sent me this viral video from Instagram, from TikTok, this week, so much when they were looking for the handsome Fuyuan. Let's run the clip. When you live with two sisters who speak Mandarin. I heard he's very handsome. I heard he speaks Mandarin. Really? I should be able to speak Mandarin with him. Right, right, right. And they're speaking Mandarin and it's true that I'm not going to lie when I look at them. It looks like they're having fun when they speak Mandarin. They enjoy it. They enjoy speaking Chinese. Which is still much better than a lot of ABCs. So many ABCs. They just want to be AZN at EDC. They do not care about learning the language. David, you know, I know a lot of American born Chinese who don't even enjoy to speak Mandarin. So I will, I will reward the Orion sisters by buying their song off iTunes and being first row at their next concert. No, Wang Bung! Wang Bung, you're falling into their marketing trap. They figure if they do not make American market with the music, they will always fall back on 1.4 billion people. That's their marketing plan. But David, don't you understand that at first it begins with Chinese baiting. And then maybe when they get older and are interested in husbands, they are Chinese mating. Oh man, make sure you like, subscribe, turn on your notifications, guys. From silly to serious, I'm going to go ahead and put this in the silly category, Andrew. Here's a quick story time of how we learned Mandarin Chinese. So when I was going into kindergarten, there was an immersion language school that was opening up where you would do half the day learning Mandarin Chinese and then half the day just doing English. And then I started the school too. We love learning it so much that we just ended up actually private tutoring at home and learning through like books and programs. Let's get into the comments sections. Somebody said passable but heavy accent. They speak Mandarin better than I do, though. Somebody said nice effort, but they started a little late in life so their tones are really off. Someone said I had to rewatch this nine times to comprehend it. I've been taking Chinese since the first grade and their tones are totally throwing me off. However, I do think also their blonde tones of being like, Oh, what? It's also part of the appeal to at least to the American audience. I guess David, there's also this YouTube channel called Blondie in China. She's an Australian blonde girl who's like speaks Mandarin fluently. She travels all over China. Anyways, guys, that's another blonde person that speaks another blog. There's actually a couple of blonde people on YouTube that speak girls. All right, David, you speak Mandarin and Cantonese to a pretty good level. To a passable level. How would you judge their Mandarin? Now, they have multiple videos. I've seen some videos where their tones are more accurate and some videos where their tones are a little bit off. What would you average it out as? Okay, if they were ABCs, I'm going to give them... No, if they were Chinese... If they were Chinese ABCs, I'm going to give them a 2.5 out of 10. Maybe a 3 out of 10. But for how they look, it might be an 8. Because at the end of the day, right? Andrew, you can't deny this is entertainment. The look is a huge portion of it. I mean, they're very blonde. They're bubbly. They look like cheetah girls or whatever. I don't know what it is. They're bringing in that valley girl vibe. They're bringing 1998 Britney Spears vibes, right? But more wholesome, more more many. Somebody said it sounds like they're always having sim-like version conversations from the dating section of a language learning book. Is this true? Let's keep it real. Does it sound like some Wang Peng and Leo? Like, today, what movie do you want to watch? I like watching... Action movies. A little bit. Some of the videos, some of it is more organic. I watch videos where they're ordering Starbucks and Mandarin and stuff like that. Good morning. I'm going to buy some coffee now. What do you want to drink? I have no idea what you're saying. I'm very nervous. I want two cups of coffee. Thank you. Hello. I want two cups of coffee. Thank you. They can speak up, but yeah, some of the prompts are definitely taken straight out of the book. Somebody said, impressive. It always looks cool when Westerners speak Chinese. I mean, is that the big thing though? Like, a lot of people obviously in China speak English, but not a lot of Americans. And I'm not talking about girls who look like them, but you can go to China right now and find a ton of Russians who look like the Orion sisters who are really good at Mandarin, but not some blue blood Americans. Somebody said, wait, so they like Asian guys is what you're saying? Mandy and Becky. And someone said, you Asians are obsessed with white people. And somebody said, Anne, what's your point? Huh? What's your point? Somebody said, must be Mormons. And somebody said, yeah, this is just their plan to eat up Chinese money. What do you think all this arguing is going? I think in their hearts, they do have a passion for the language, but I'm sure that there is a play because it says on their website about how they do want to do original Mandarin songs. So that's going to be part of the marketing for their music careers. They want these global careers for sure moving forward. So no, so yes, I think it's twofold, but I think they do have the passion to actually learn it. Do they have a passion for Asian men? Only time will tell. Because Bar Baker, because Bar Baker, once his career ended doing parodies of American artists, then he learned Mandarin. And so, so many nungs, they like it so much. Somebody said, how come you don't see any praise for the Chinese who speak perfect English? I mean, at the end of the day, this is a whole power dynamic thing, right? Because English is the global lingua franca in 2023. I mean, Anglo-Saxons, they had an amazing last 400 years, and they're still the preeminent global culture. I feel like the last time white people were impressed that a Chinese person spoke fluent English was like in 1930, maybe. Like, it was a long time ago, guys. That ship has sailed. We are just part of the western world right now. If you're learning English, you know what I mean? Somebody said, I'm not going to lie, I'm impressed. Now show us if you can read and write. I do think they probably know how to read and write a little bit, to be honest. If you study it, because they went to the whole idea, the reason why they know Mandarin is that the first two girls, they went to an immersion school growing up in Northern California. They learned at a young age, and then they had private tutors after that. Somebody said, the ones who are complaining about their American accents are American. I actually disagree with this comment. I think you could be Chinese. It really depends on how many points you spot them for their archetype. It really has everything to do with the archetype, because listen, they're pretty blonde girls. They look like they're at a rodeo. That is not the common archetype with that white guy or like nerd Dashaan or like, you know, all the other guys with like Chinese wives that speak Mandarin. They don't fit that archetype at all. That's why it's a big deal. But I'll say this, I think just as much as them being blonde as part of it, it's also that they're just kind of like a group of, you know, good-looking sisters. And I'm saying any group of good-looking sisters, whether they were Black, Latina, a different type of Asian trying to speak Mandarin, I think would still get some views. I think if they were American specifically, but there's a lot of people, I mean, I'm not gonna lie, some of the best J-Chile cover songs right now are coming out of Africa. They're like a 10 out of 10. No, there's some good cantopop covers that are saying by a Black guy. I don't know if he's from Africa or not. And then also, like, I have Korean friends. There's our friend, my friend, Kirsten Lay, she's Korean. She kind of can speak Mandarin too. She's like an actress. You know what I'm saying? Just a lot of people are learning Mandarin. Well, a lot of people are, I'm not saying that they don't have a genuine interest but I do think that they're probably having an interest plus the motive and the incentive where obviously they're getting a positive response. If you get a positive response for doing anything in life, David, guess what? You're more likely to do it. Yeah, it tends to snowball. Somebody said holy crap, there's gonna be some Chinese billionaire that are gonna be in their DM soon. This was like probably one of the most highest up comments. Wait, David, I think it's funny because do you think that some people are suspecting that they're Mormon? And you know how a lot of Mormons, they have that mandatory mission that they have to go on and a lot of them do learn different languages? I've actually met a ton of Mormons that speak Mandarin. They don't look like the Orion sisters though. Yeah, but a lot of Mormons are very blonde. They're very white looking. Yeah, they are. I mean, it's from Utah. Somebody said, in China if you can speak one of two words in Mandarin everybody congratulates you and says that you are doing great. But once you know enough to have a small conversation then people get extra salty and start complaining about your accent or grammar. This is actually pretty funny. It's kind of true. It's like almost like there's like different tiers of anything, right? Like, you know how you know a few words or something and everybody's like, wow, you're so good. But then once you actually speak it then it's almost like you get judged by a completely different plateau. Yeah, yeah, I mean, so guys like for example, like I know how to say like a few words or a phrase in a lot of different Asian languages because over our time of being in different restaurants I've learned some Tibetan or like you know, just phrases. I don't know, I'm not saying I know how to speak it. But even when I say it's just showing like respect to the culture I'm not trying to trick people into thinking yo, yo, Tibetan, yo, I I know how to say, oh, I can speak it, you know? But I think it's just that people appreciate that they took the time to at least remember something about the language. Right, and take it seriously and take it accurately, right? Because a lot of people in the English world or maybe more larger cultures Chinese, Mandarin, Chinese including you feel like, oh, well, I already know the widespread ones, why would I learn the smaller ones? Right, right, right. Anyway, Andrew, let's just get into our takeaways. Silly to serious, like I said, this definitely firmly on the silly category. But I have to acknowledge it because I got sent this video six times this week. I think it's just, I think it's good. I think it again, you don't have to think that they speak the best Mandarin in the world. But I think that it is nice to see as a Chinese person, you know of Chinese descent, you know, I don't even speak Mandarin that well. But I guess like hearing about all the things in media, about China this, China that, China's bad, oh, China's evil, blah, blah, blah. And then you hear all these things and then you just see three smiley, you know spunky blonde sisters trying to speak Mandarin. That's cool. I would love to see them collab with even in a food video like go to the 626 if they live in the SoCal area. I'd love for them to go get some Chinese food. Order, yeah. Yeah, get some Sichuan food. I think that would add to that. I would that would be next level. I think they should do that. And maybe they should collab with us if we're out there, but I would do a video with them. Yeah, I mean, at the end of the day, I'm, you know, I'm positive on it. Do you think it is Chinese baiting at all though? Because like people are just like, oh yeah, I never thought I will ever see this before because usually this type of girl school like treat me Asian men like they're so invisible. They're not into the Chinese culture. David, I've been paying attention to what the media has been doing, what Hollywood has been doing. And I tell you this, they've been doing a lot of Chinese baiting with Hollywood. So I guess this is just more Chinese baiting. But yeah, and I guess in a more positive way. Yeah, no, I think it's cool. Listen, and listen, I mean, whether or not they hang out with Asian guys or Chinese guy, I don't know that guys who knows. Um, but yeah, let us know what you think in the comment section below. I don't know exactly the full story, the backstory behind it. All I know is that it went viral within the community. And anytime something goes viral, whether people are able to speak it out or not or articulate it. There was a lot of reasons. All right, everybody. Thank you so much for watching the hot pop boys. Let me know down below what you think about the Orion sisters speaking Mandarin. And until next time, we out. Peace.
