Kirk Apesland, a vlogger from Canada, is shopping for the upcoming Lunar New Year with his wife while shooting video in Nanning City, south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. Kirk started posting videos on social media since 2018. At the beginning, he just wanted to share his life in China. To his surprise, the first three videos he posted got more than 10,000 views. So far, he has posted around 450 videos and has 79,200 followers on YouTube and 60,000 on Chinese social media. They were shopping at a flower market. Kirk recorded people shopping for the Lunar New Year while taking the epidemic prevention measures with his camera. "The government did a good job in quarantining, lockdowns, making sure the massive testing," Kirk said. He added that the Chinese government took all these measures not only to protect its people, but also to protect the rest of the world. Talking about fighting against the epidemic, "it's really important for all of these people to work and move in the same direction", Kirk said. Kirk and his wife are going to spend their holiday in Nanning, and he plans to make videos to show the Lunar New Year here.
