Some of them involve an upward pitch and some a downward pitch. Those upward pitches could sound "girlish" to observers who know nothing about the Chinese language, but that is built into the Chinese language and should be accepted as the way it is for about 700 million chinese males.
If I am wrong on this, those who speak Mandarin should feel free to correct me.

As a native mandarin speaker (and with a Tiawaneese accent), his speech still sounds sissy.

I have a lot of family members who speak Chinese Putonghua and Mandarin, I have been to Cantonese speaking places, and have heard a lot of Chinese artists speaking in Chinese (because my Dad particularly watches Chinese shows every night) but they don't sound as sissy as Victor would have said it... But I think TPTB and the editors edit Victor as a super sissy speaker, not really the other times that he speaks...
But still! I LOVE THEIR TEAM!!!! :hearts: :jumpy:

I think Victor has children, or maybe they're Tammy's? Found it on their facebook page
Neobie u r amazing, I was gonna translate what u've post into english and u already have done it. Great job!

I guess TAR will consider to hire some really professional guys next time they visit China. what a leak they did

At RFF, what happens on Facebook STAYS on FB and is not brought to the forum. :ty3: But I believe you are incorrect. ;)
But SO glad you are posting here now!! :hugs:
TARA:
the producer assistant girl says a lot of producers and equipment and security crew can't be credited for at the end title
and the camera crew switch their old equipment with the new one from the producers when they first step out the airport
wondering if MR. van muster always travels together with phil when TAR is filming? we all know he has scouted the locationes several times before that
