How-to China: German vlogger enchanted with Chinese culture

About the interviewee

Robert Adolf, 24, is a vlogger from Munich, Germany. Having developed an interest in Chinese culture during his childhood, he learned Chinese and came to live and work in China in 2017.

Stunned by the rich and diverse culture of China's 56 ethnic groups, he began sharing videos of his personal experiences of Chinese food and ethnic culture online, and attracted about 2 million followers.

In July, he and his Chinese friends launched a documentary filming project, aiming to record the authentic life of China's 56 ethnic groups. So far, they have visited people of Tujia, Miao, Dong, Sui, Buyi, Yao and other ethnic groups inhabiting in China's Hubei province, Guizhou province and Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region.

Afterward, they plan to move on to Hainan and Yunnan provinces to record the myriad ethnic groups based there.
