Korean-Chinese people immigrated from Korea to China in the 19th century and continue to follow Korean culture to this day. China claims that the Korean-Chinese are a minority in China and that their culture is also Chinese culture. The United States has received immigrants from all over the world, including Italy, Germany, and Ireland, since before the 19th century. However, the United States does not introduce Irish or Italian food as American food. China is conducting preliminary preparations for an invasion of the Korean Peninsula.
Just amazing! This culture is way ahead of the rest!!!
这部纪录片最独特的是视角，他们不是单纯的炫耀技术和艺术。而是以自然与食物，食物与人，人与自然
Okay.
kimchi is korean food!
There was a a bug!
This intro song brings me back
두부김치가 언제부터 중궈음식? ㅋㅋㅋ 기가맥히네
Kimchi is Korean food, why add it in to this?
I saw this documentary when it first came out, and it still sticks in my head every time I cook. Not a huge fan of the sports broadcaster-type narrator, though. The previous English narrator was more softspoken and made the whole documentary a lot more tranquil.
7:20 - Kimchi isn’t Chinese food. It’s Korean food. Chinese people should get their facts straight and stop lying. I don’t know why so many Chinese people always lie and distort things.
看舌尖上的中国了解一下中国的传统美食，同时学英语😄
No offense, but let me get this straight. The dish you see here is not pickled cabbage (7:06). It's called Kimchi, a traditional Korean dish that almost all Korean people consume on a daily basis. To my knowledge, the people you see in the video are the descendants of Korean immigrants who moved to China back in the 1800s and 1900s due to various historical tragedies. In the video, they apparently speak in Korean, though in a different accent.
