Kirk Apesland, a Canadian living for 18 years in Nanning City, south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, is keen on sharing Chinese culture and life on YouTube. Recently, he recalled the Chinese people's life when he came to Nanning City at the start of the 21st century, and compared it with the life now, saying significant changes have taken place over the last 18 years in China, such as the better road system, the high-speed train, the high rises, and the fast-growing economy.

"I've learned one thing and one really important thing in China, that anything is possible," said Kirk Apesland.
