I'm Rilla from China. I used to work in finance, but now I'm on a mission to travel across China's borders. I promise to share everything — the good and the bad — from the perspective of an ordinary Chinese person.
- First, I'm truly thrilled to tell you: I finally got my YPP issue solved, and today I'm officially monetized! 🙌Thank you!!
When I started making videos one year ago, I never imagined this day would come(I am quite an introverted person. It was really hard for me to make a video at first — let alone a video in English.) I hope I can keep making videos that are worth your time!!
- Second, as I promised in my 10k Q&A, I will send small gifts (North Korean currency books souvenir) to two friends. I read all your comments — they were all amazing! every comment was great! So finally, I still decided to pick @2121ANKITA and @spookysauro based on engagement. Could you two please DM me your address on Instagram? 🙏
- Third, I'm really sorry — the next video is not finished yet, so there won't be a video tomorrow. I just can't bring myself to serve you junk food. The next video is about another border region on the China-North Korea border. I actually went there once, 4 years ago(look at my stupid photo from 4 years ago, haha) .This time it's my second visit, so I have so many stories to tell.— stay tuned ❤️
- Also, my plan is to complete a journey along China's entire border and document real life along the way. So after maybe one or two more videos along the China-North Korea border, I'll move on to the China-Russia border. I truly hope you'll love those stories too — not just the North Korean border ones.
Thank you for being here. You mean the world to me!!!
Hey everyone! This week I’m heading home for a quick 2-day break to celebrate Mother’s Day with my mom 💐, and I thought it’d be a perfect time for a simple Q&A vlog.
I’d love to hear from you—what do you want to know about me, my past experiences, or travel tips about the China-North Korea border? Drop your questions below, and I’ll answer as many as I can!
Can’t wait to share more border stories with you next week! 😉
First, I want to thank you all so much for your support and likes — thanks to you, I finally reached the YouTube Partner Program requirements two weeks ago (1,000 subscribers and 4,000 watch hours!!)!!谢谢!
I truly couldn’t have done it without you guys, and I never imagined I could have so many online friends from all over the world!
But I also want to share some unfortunate news: after a long wait, YouTube still disapproved my AdSense application, saying I may have duplicate AdSense accounts… even though this is truly my first time applying for one.
So I’ve spent the past few days searching online, asking Youtube and trying to figure it out, but I still haven’t been able to solve it…. Because of that, today’s upload won’t be the full episode — instead, it’ll be a lighter behind-the-scenes video featuring some more casual stories from a North Korean border town. I hope you enjoy it too!
P.S. Have any of you run into the same YouTube problem? If you have any advice or suggestions, please let me know — I really need help 😭😭😭
