During the Lunar New Year, Hong Kong resident Guo Yongfeng returned to the Chinese mainland to visit his hometown of Harbin, the capital of the northeastern province of Heilongjiang. But the outbreak of Covid-19 on the mainland meant that he was required to spend 14-days in self-quarantine upon his return to Hong Kong. But Guo lives in a cubicle in a subdivided housing unit known as a “cage home”, and found it impossible to completely isolate himself until he managed to get a bed in a government quarantine facility.

Then you have the likes of the these Rich celebrities moaning how bored they are in a huge mansion....Please
Alexa xoxo Exactly. Purposely lookin messy and unshaven (most) to make it seem as if they suffering
It's not just the rich. It's a lot of people especially here in the US. It's so annoying how people can't sacrifice a little (if you would even call being able to live in a house with your tv, food and other luxuries "sacrifice").
True.
@Ariel Adams Totally get that. Not everyone can afford to stay home either. Or that it's technically safer (in the sense of risk for abuse). But as a nurse, I've seen so many unnecessary deaths. So yes, staying at home may be an inconvenience to some or a potential risk for others, but it is a necessary risk we all need to take at this time. If everyone just followed the infection prevention guidelines, the sooner this would all be over.
Well, everybody suffers differently. Still valid.
The worst part in all of this is how genuine and nice he come across. I hope he goods will come his way.
I agree.
I wish him the best in life as well. He really seems such a nice man
He could be an aging serial killer for all you know.

It’s not sad. It’s a simple life. I have less.
This makes me want to cry but the fact that he’s still smiling says a lot
I agree hurts my heart
He speaks Mandarin. He’s from China & happy to be [alive] in HK with such a minimalist life. Bless him.
In Hong Kong it’s like that there are big apartments but they’re overpriced
This is horrible. I will not admire his contemptness because there is a lack of empathy from the system.
@Happy Man and nobody asked you to comment your comment
And people who are quarantined in their spacious homes with backyards are complaining.
Nope Im not complaining. Lovely sunshine & fresh air in my garden 😎 Never seen a cage home like that here thankfully. In HK you would find many cages full of families or animals, people wearing 😷 and that was before lockdown.
ofcourse we are complaining. just because 1 guy is living in the sewer doesnt mean we should all be happy. when u break ur leg u complain no? well why cause some other poor sap has got his neck broken so stop complaining!
we have very serious lockdowns and limitations on freedom and censorships going on, real reason to complain a lot!
Sad and obviously shows how many people take things for granted.
You have a Brain?
@@DarkoFitCoach hey no offence listen here we have perfect conditions this is like another holiday. They are cramped in what is like a prison cell. F
His expression..
Let say i knew someone who had very big house but never have those smiling eyes of his.
9th TEARDROP GameTeller It’s part of Chinese culture to act like everything is okay, even if you are dealing with a dumpster fire of a situation. Hong Kong isn’t China, but he is Chinese because he is from Harbin. Just wanted to clarify
NewBlueTrue well....Hong Kong residents are chinese tho.
Jegeriufane N They have time before they are forced to fully integrate
The proof that wealth does not give happiness or character...
@abdul shukoor what do you mean? Is that a translation of an original saying in another language (other than English)?
This man smiles with his eyes!
What a positive message from someone with limited resources! You are right, he does smile with his eyes! 😊👍
I wish him well... 🙏
I hope he is happy and not just pretending to... Hope him well too
Even the way he speaks gives me life’s he sounds so optimistic and nice.
We all do now
His living conditions are inhuman. It really shows how broken our economic system is.
@@hardassteel It's the same in many cities, but some do cope better, some don't. Many cities can grow into the suburbs, city states cannot. Still, Singapore has a higher population density than Hong Kong, but it seems they haven't got such cage homes (or is it just the media coverage that they don't have?).
@@hardassteel have you ever been to Hong Kong 70% of the land isn't inhabited
@@hardassteel hong kong has huge unused land. But government choose not to develop it for the benefit of the public.. Instead they sell it at very high price to developer who in turn sold their houses at extraordinary price to make a profit out of these poor avg ppl.. This is modern slavery
They should really look into house boats
@@ReichX1000 what a load of bs... if the government wants to make space...there are plenty of options...the only thing stopping them is their willingness to invest and innovate. Singapore has already started building underground living while people of HK throw their toys out of their cots and complain about freedom. Some Asians are just smarter unfortunately HKers are just not.
I’ve been wondering about how those cage people are coping.
What to do , no choice...
I think people should go outside everyday just for a little walk. Don't stand close to anyone if you absolutely need to talk.
@BabyUnicornio Indeed its rough, but just think of homeless who live on the streets in cardboard box. Some dont even have legs or arms, you always have to look at it differently. He still lives better than lots of people. ✔😜
@BabyUnicornio Living in a cardboard box on the street and here is not slightly better. Its a big difference
@@user-vj4ih9pp9z yes
I love how he isn't complaining about it like most people. Very humble man.
He was actually thinking about others. Make my worries about myself seems petty now
Maybe he's conditioned to living in a densely populated city,hence,living conditions are atrocious.....I couldn't live in a country that's so over populated,it's insane
To those people in the US and Europe who were living in locked down cities: you were so much fortunate. In times like this, people in Hong Kong living in subdivided flats or cages are more vulnerable and susceptible to conoravirus infection. Some of you in America, Europe and Canada are living in houses with backyards! So count your blessings during self isolation and quarantine. Don't complain.
Amen
Quarantine is nothing but a chance to chill at home from work the only sad thing is suffering and death
Yes preach. 👏
Blessings 🙏
We better take the kind of blessing we have in US. $260 to rent that is more than the some people here in bigger space and on section 8/housing.
when he said the quarantine camp was better than where he lives now, that made me cry. i hope he will be okay, but with 17 other roommates in such a cramped space, it sounds extremely dangerous. 😞
E R
uh
E R
ok dude
Meanwhile in Singapore that'd probably be illegal; fire safety regulations only allow up the 6 or 8 residents per apartment unit (depending on whether it has less than or equal to 3 rooms or more than that)
It's very upsetting when a developed city like Hong Kong still has people living in this unhuman situation!
The government allow a lot of mainlanders to go to hong kong. People from mainland go to HK because it's easier to find jobs compared to smaller towns or villages. Now HK is a small land but condensed with people. So what ends up happening is what you see in the video. Average home size is 500 sq.ft. you have to be wealthy (6 digit figures in usd to live in a 1000+ sq.ft.) Cost of living is high too. Source - I lived in HK for work before. So blame the government cause it's messed up. They don't even have enough lands to bury their dead
this is their freedom
mean communist party just converted everything in wuhan to hospitals
they started to massproducing masks
they tested everyone free who went to hospitals
tracked down all could be contact with infected..
today all temporary hospital closed in wuhan
they found all infected people
@@cnccarving they honestly did a remarkable job when it comes to cracking down on it.
It happens here too.
@@MyAura That's not why the housing is so small and expensive lol. Most of HK is undeveloped land. The govnt controls use of land and restricts how much of it can be developed for housing since the govnt is largely controlled by the rich including real estate developers. It is entirely intentional.
66 yo, living in such condition, but his spirit is so strong and positive
Around 6 years ago I was that rich teen type of kid, spending my mum's and dad's money like water, not grateful for anything but the things that happened in these 6 years like 2 suicide attempts by my mum, no money and extreme hunger, at the verge of quiting studies, nearly homeless, mum and dad's divorce and diseases taught me nearly everything that I was missing.
Now 6 years later my living conditions are very great, family is United and everyone's great (literally no problem from 6 years ago) but the difference is I'm highly grateful for everything even for my 5 senses and the air I breathe.
Now that's growth.
This is really making me kick myself for complaining about being “contained” in my spacious apartment by myself 🥴
It’s ok sometimes we can all lose perspective on things. Glad we were able to hear this man’s story and get a sobering reminder of how much better some of us have it. I would like to know what is a realistic thing we can do to help people like him, this is very upsetting..
Oh best thing that can happen to me is that ,contained in small apartment by myself ,I love it but my family keep getting worried why I'm ok with being in the dark alone by myself and try to talk to me
Wishing nothing but the best for this guy & to the many people like him living there . Better days will come inshallah

Insyaallah
All people in china are living like this lol, they are in a communist dictatorship what do you expect?
@@bigreddaman5988 what this has to do with cuminist party
Look how rich people made nightmare life of middle class people and poor people, these kind of social and financial discrimination creates depressed society
He was happier than most people I have seen. Why you say that about rich people? Maybe without rich people he would be in the street. Think!!
capitalism at it’s finest
What happened to him back home in Harbin? Why was he escaping from China?
@@yeswecanhk he escaped during mao great cultural revolution I guess same with many others who fled to other countries. Lol now he's in a one room apartment. He should have stayed in China.
@@yeswecanhk He only works in Hong Kong. I listened to the 1:20 dialogue and guessed, because he said to go home for the new year, not because the coronavirus left Hong Kong.
“ How blessed I am “ is the first thought that came to my mind .
Many people are living in terrible conditions while we the ones who are getting so many facilities are still complaining.
Let’s appreciate it and pray for them .
Yeah if their income is struck by covid and therefore there are almost bout enough money to buy their needs then sure, complain. But people complaining abt bein bored in mansions with their tv and gadgets and other entertainment is just silly. And how "I have the right to complaiiiin mansion is so boring ugh"
He is a nice guy and intelligent I hope he is healthy and taking precaution
True . Covid -19 is sneaky
It should be illegal for a person to charge 17 people 260$ per month for a cage.
500sq ft costs millions to trillion. It's called modern slavery with the world's most expensive real estate. The same bs ppl use to control farmers back in the dark ages
Supply and demand
But its 17*260$ or 260$/17?
Very over populated city... country
I understood later when my mom said that our house was bigger than her employer in Hongkong.
Dixi Dawn Not just HongKong, people live like this everywhere.
@@vix_0997 true when I went to Cebu city here in Philippines I'm shocked because the room for rent is too expensive but it looks like of the dog cage...
@Ganda Gandarain mandaue city...
My parents house has around 150 square metres and my apartment 50 square metres and I still find it suffocation pass all these days on quarantine. Imagine Guo Youngfeng situation :(
@@vix_0997 Everywhere Noooo that is more a Asian thing...
i feel sad watching this video. he.s 66 years old and living in such conditions... and this will possibly be the case till the end of his life...i cant help but wonder what does one even look forward to anymore. i hope he clings on to his optimism and hope 😥
This isn’t fair. These poor people
Don't look all bad . I've seen worse looking hostels.
So what about the homeless people?? Where and how are they living ???
Samantha Fisher Life in a Third World country is never fair. You sound like you’re complaining hoping that there’s somebody that can do something about it and the answer is no that is the reality of life in HK. The best reaction to have right now is being thankful for what you have because he is thankful for with he has.
@@ding174 And who determines what reality is? The fact is there is someone who can do something about it - the government. But instead of following in the footsteps of Singapore, they CHOOSE to continue to subject their people to these living standards. We all need to stop accepting things at face value and start thinking critically.
@@sajesaje7031 do you know the gov of HK once wanted to build more houses but many hk people protested to refuse the policy?
lol he was happy in the Quarantine camp where he got a bigger room and fruits and meals
he'd be better off assaulting someone in the cage and go to jail where he will get a meal and a decent bed...sad
@@hansouth2355 yeah man
@wildrose39 quarantine centers r not that bad in developed countries
I live in the US share my house with roomates and pay $220... and our house feels like a mansion compared to where he is living and paying $260 ....
Its just too much for a normal daily working class citizen
HK $2000+... I don't think so, under HK $1000 or even less ,
Also in India for that money, he can live in a double bed room house down south.
@@drhosenbanggash8922 No he's talking about US currency,Not HK currency
@@lin.yiming i know but sorry to say , you don't understand me ... hk$ 2000+ is US 260 dollars .ok.. so this kind of cage only cost few hundred HK dollors..in us dollars Less than 100 or even Less..., anything else..... 😊😁🤗
Exo 1261 where did you find a room for $200? In our state studios are $800 to $1000 even if you share roommates usually around $800 ish .I am from the states too.
Not once have I heard this man complain. Yet ppl here in America are upset they can't get a haircut seriously the attitude of some ppl disgust me.
Asian people are much more humble in general, then europeans and americans. I think it is in their culture or soul, they don’t take anything for granted and are much more thankful. At least, this is what I see looking at them...
I would like a haircut though I guess hats will have to help me for now
xFoxySupreme oh, me too! 😄 My appointment with the hairdresser is tommorow and I can’t wait! I’ve been waiting for two months :)
@@luciatat4084 There's actually science behind it, look up "illusory superiority" and its grander cultural implications.
Seriously dude!
I bet there is more quality of living in the prison than those cage homes.
Maybe for US and some parts of Europe. But in Poor countries? Lol.
@@cathaaaa7236 Hong Kong is far from poor. But this guy is a immigrant with no generational wealth. It's hard to make it in a big city with no wealth.
Cath Aaaa Lol Hong Kong is just as rich as the US and Western/Northern European countries, and far richer than Central, Eastern, Southern European countries.
Cath Aaaa Just FYI, America has the largest inequality issue on this planet. Just go to some major cities and you’ll see the downtown thriving with homeless ppl. Also, HK itself (not all the citizens) is a rich country by all standards.
JJ K The poor in America is richer than most of the world. Inequality is irrelevant when anyone who wants to be successful can be in America. Poor is just a mindset in America. People in America who scream inequality are just lazy and want more things for themselves.
No one should ever have to live like this yo
Exactly! It goes against basic human rights, literally. Hong Kong government doesn't even care
Wdum? The guy voluntarily decided to live there. He can easily go and live in a spacious house in some random village if he wanted to. Living in that box was his choice and he seems to be happy about it.
I get your point but it’s part of life there’s poor and there’s rich as long as you don’t live in a hostile environment it is not bad at all!
@@Mas0808 I agree with you, probably, the government of Hong Kong, which is a private place in China, as far as I know, does not know what conditions they live in. Also, it can be seen this situation world-wide. For example; the East middle, Turkey, Ukraine or some Balkan countries such as, maybe Albania. I will not talk about Africa even. Thus, some people must lose for other people to win. I don't support this state, but it is a world rule.
broke my heart how grateful he is for the quarantine room since it was better living conditions than his daily life.
Such a positive soul, always smiling in the face of adversity. Sometimes people worry or complain more even though they're much more fortunate. Sometimes we have to learn from these people how to be grateful and be content.
In germany we would call this man a "Ehrenmann". Hope he stays healthy.
What is an ehrenmann?
@@TheChickenRiceBowl man of honor
This man is more inspiring than many of our leaders. I am humbled by his resilience.
How he can stay healthy to that situation it looks like no air to breath?!.
Why is he a man of honor? He's just trying to make the best of his living. As far as I can see, this spirit is in most people. Just like any common people.
Most Westerners rarely appreciate the wealth we experience. So, we must count our blessings.
Malinda Allen they are not blessings if they are created from the suffering and exploitation of others, you cannot honestly feel like you are blessed because you have more “wealth” then a poor person, somehow they are forgotten by gods grace and you’re not?
@@cece2845 I am grateful and happy about my blessings. I was blessed to earn competitive scholarships and work my way through college and graduate study, preparing for my lifetime career of serving both children and adults with disabilities. That career also was a privilege and a blessing. In addition, I cared for and assisted my own family and in-laws, and did volunteer work in my community and church. If you are not, yourself, living in a cage apartment or under a bridge, I hope you recognize your own blessings, and are doing something more constructive than criticizing people who do appreciate their blessings.
Homeless Americans?
Hmmm I would be careful referring as “westerners” being the wealthier. I know you weren’t trying to mean it tho. Hong Kong also is compromised with a lot of wealthy middle classes and filthy rich people. It is the hub of business that connects the West and East. This man basically represents the poor of HK, people who are neglected in the capitalism society. This issue is nowhere near nonexistent in the States or any other Western countries. With America being the country with the largest inequality in wealth distribution, the tragic situation is going to be the same in a lot of Western countries too.
@@jjk4891 I did not say "wealthier". I implied "less appreciative", and I did not say or imply "all".
“But I can understand” (when he was affronted with anger and fear from his roommates). It’s a complicated world that we live in. I hope we can all learn something from his mentality.
HongKong has one of the worst divides between the rich and the poor. People are suffering in a myriad of ways. India’s migrants are walking hundreds of kilometers because they have lost their jobs and have no place to live.
It has been a year... hope he’s having a better life now, really touched by his positive mindset
Chinese people are resilient and hard working. I hope they recover soon. Bless you all.
66 yrs old wow 😱 wow he looks awesome and he moves like a younger person you can tell he has a positive spirit smiling the whole time 🙏🏼hope they are all safe praying for everyone

@@elohim7778 very much friend. It's great to see people around. I'm learning.
He never complained.. he has a great positivity. We have to learn how to be like that in our life.
That is no way for a person to live.
The problem is that no one cares, because there are too many people to care about.
This will take few more generations to solve.
I had a roommate from Hong Kong way back when in University, about 30 years BC. (before Corona). I saw his room once, which was roughly 7' x 15' barely enough room to swing a cat. When I remarked on its tininess, he told me that his room in HK was shared among 7 people !
People should not live like caged chickens on this abundant planet.
and the room in HK was a similar size.
Really remarkable what people consider a home in different parts of the world. Makes you appreciate what you have.
I wish my brain allowed me the same kinda peace and happiness this guy has . I'd be totally miserable in his situation and yet he's smiling and happy . Pretty cool. Much respect.
Conditioned maybe after years of living this way and his neighbours are all in the same situation I should imagine ..... population growth is insane, its out of control in this country
Living condition is so horrible! But still better than those homeless people in the U.S., i guess.
well if you have to compare this to homeless ppl then its pretty bad.
Well shot if you could find a bed in California for 260 a month there wouldn’t be homeless people.
@Jesu Estrada What do you mean schizophrenic? Can they live in that place without medical assistance and someone looking after them? I doubt!
I've lived in HK and I've been homeless in the US. I can confirm being homeless (for me at least) in the US was better than living in HK.
When you hear he can't afford a room and need to rent a bed we get the idea living in HK is so expensive. 😨
It is indeed, a 100 Sq foot studio can go up to 1,100.00 USDLLS!
I feel like it's only either you're poor and rich; nothing in between ( middle class ) unless maybe so a few.
@@leenuhh_ There is a middle class. But middle class in HK are seen as rich from western standard.
Everywhere nowadays the rent and other expenses are too expensive...
@Shock G thats why Covid-19 is exist my friend!
I love how He is so grateful! This really warms my heart I hope he stays safe
He’s so positive. While so many of us are complaining about life.
I really hope his living situation improves. He seems like a nice man.
This makes me feel really sad for them 💔 bless them~
It’s so small he can’t even lay down completely, I hope his family at home appropriates his sacrifices.
It's sad. Mother earth is so huge and blessed with resources but why human civilization is still divided in countries and fighting against each other?
Better off 2 persont tent camping in the surrounding hills. I would.
I've seen the caged apartments before. It's awful. For that one apartment the landlord is getting over 4400 bucks. That's disgusting. China really should be ashamed of themselves.
This is Hong Kong..
He deserves better.
such an hinorable gentleman, people over there are super nice and polite
House in Tokyo looks like heaven compared to this! Time to be grateful.
I hope he has an amazing life and anyone who is watching I also wish u guys an amazing life
I’m going to have to come back to this video regularly to check myself. . . I need to keep myself remind of how fortunate I am and that I should be positive regardless of the situation.
He deserves better such a nice man!
Still more sanitary than some people with more space.
I'm so fortunate I can go my back yard and smell the dirt, dig a hole, water my roses. I'll remember this when my mind starts trailing off....
I hope this man the best, he's such a cheerful person 😭❤❤❤
Bless the sweet man. Thank you for sharing a perspective I would have never otherwise known.
hearing him saying "i hope this pandemic ends soon" and then seeing this video was posted 8 months ago truly breaks my heart. i hope he's safe and every other person living in similar circumstances
This is so sad :/ why couldn’t they make these “cages” large and a more humane like living condition.... I get that it’s because these people are low income but seriously this is so bad. Hoping he’ll get out of this situation one day....
Sorry to cut your last straw, but looking at it realistically, he will only get out of this situation in a coffin some day.
Then it would be an apartment and priced accordingly.
They have allowed it. Their government that is.
It is also due to the housing crisis in Hong Kong like he mentioned. Of course income has a lot to do with it but if a country simply doesn’t have the resources to offer, or can only offer it at a ridiculous price, very little can access it.
may be I'm just coming to terms with my PTSD of the last 3 years pandemic, but I came here to watch this video again.
And as many wrote below, there is something inspiring and beautiful about this senior being jailed by poverty, and now the pandemic. I think its the fact that I don't sense any bitterness in him.
Makes me feel small, when during lockdowns so many of us had access to large airy rooms, open spaces, some with running tracks and we bytch bytch bytched!
I feel so small now
Bless Him and All others living in the same way x
Seeing this lovely pleasant man living in a closet reminds me of when I lived in hong Kong but we had three people in a 2400 square ft apartment. Far more room than we ever needed and honestly we just had far more of everything. Until this sort of inequality is sorted out I don't have much hope for the human race.
Thanks for the great sharing of life experience. This has been added to my life and will be part of me along my life journey to keep on reminding myself of how fortunate I am. I have always appreciated every single thing in my life and this will be a continuing process. This man's life experience will also serves as an aspiration to live a simple and happy life. By simple and happy means to live a life and feeling content, not living by chasing over something which makes us stress or achieving something at the expense of others' happiness.
I am also from hong kong, and i know about these homes, i never knew they were that small, count your blessings everybody
This man seems so sweet and humble, I wish I could bring him to Alaska he would have so much space here and fresh air to breath.
Housing for all is a basic human right, if the country has failed to give its citizen a shelter. Then government and its officals are corrupt!!
He looks more happy then me who lives in the US. 3 Bedroom home.
Humble 🙏🏼 saying a prayer for this man tn!
I wish I could help people like this.
Heartbreaking. I realize I just take a lot of things for granted. I wish I could help him.
This is the part where you start hating on those with homes of 10-15 bedroom's with only 2 or 3 of them living in it 🤦🤦🤦🤔🤔🤔
He is precious 🌟
This video really make me realize my "ordinary" house in Indonesia is so much better 😭 bless this man and all the people in Hong Kong who live in those cages, I pray for you all from here 💛
This dude literally live in a closet! Harry Potter had more space!
I’d rather move to one of the many villages in China and live the rural life over this sardine packed living.
The problem is that there are zero jobs in the villages. China's economy is all messed up from the communist party. It's not like small towns in the US/UK where you can get a job at a shop.

If our government has their way, we will be like this in another 10 years.
I fear the same
Lol, no we won’t. Sadly, America builds extremely sprawled so rather than living in cubes, people live on the streets.
Man with so much space on this earth yet we are subjected to live like this , it's unnatural
I respect this strong person very much
So crazy how they have thousands of empty apartments in ghost cities and yet many of the Chinese people have to live in cramped tiny spaces like this.
The fact as a species, we not only tolerate others to live in conditions like this.. some go out of their ways to exploit it.
Praying for us all my friend. You have a beautiful spirit.
this man sounds so genuine and nice
My high school economics teacher always talked about how Hong Kong was the greatest city in the world for business but seeing this shows the reality not many people see
It make me feel lucky for what I have even if it's not much. This should'n be this way. This is not right... :(
Better than sleeping in the street...
What not right about having a roof over your head and food to eat. Clothes to wear a tv to watch.
Agree
Such a positive man!
Elderly living in conditions like this really always bring a tear to my eye... but bless his soul for his positive spirit. I hope this pandemic blows over really soon, especially for those not as privileged as we are. Those that are currently stocking up, please remember those (particularly the elderly) that really need the sanitizers and chloride wipes but doesn’t have the same mobility that we do. Be kind in these tough times. It’s the least we can do.
Hong Kong is very expensive. I rather lives in a smaller space than being homeless.
In Australia our government deems it inhumane to sleep in a cage so when we are homeless we get to sleep on the street instead, which is also illegal and the council comes along and takes your tent and sleeping bag if you try then you have to go to St vincents to get another one until they catch you again and take it off you. You think this is bad having to live in a cage? At least they get a bed and roof over their head and a shower and toilet which is more than most of the poor in our country get.
