第一次见到这么大规模的放生，“放生”真的是在行善吗？

Good Job. Shows you how tolerant Chinese society really is. If this was in Québec all these people would be free to freely practice their religion however this ceremony would be a no no and quickly declared unlawful.I arrived in Bombay India from Montreal and after 8 months I flew into Chengdu from Leh in northern India. The contrast was so great that I felt like I had died and was in Heaven. Clean everywhere, lots of space, a big beautiful Central Park with improvised traditional music, people playing games while the bird cage hung in a tree nearby and people flying kites 5 km in the air...wow. Beer and Hot pot then after 2 weeks down to Spring City, Kunming. The world is crazy here with the big white balloon taking its toll on political media and military schitsophrenia ???? Pls stay where you are and keep giving us great videos. Bons vents ! 

干的漂亮。这说明了中国社会是多么的宽容。如果这是在魁北克，所有这些人可以自由地实践他们的宗教，但是这个仪式将很快就被宣布为非法而被禁止。我从蒙特利尔抵达印度孟买，8个月后，我从印度北部的列城又飞往成都。这种反差太大了，我觉得自己好像在天堂一样。到处都很干净，空间很大，有一个美丽的中央公园，有即兴的传统音乐，人们在玩游戏，鸟笼挂在附近的树上，人们在5公里的空中放风筝……哇。喝啤酒，吃火锅，然后两周后去了春城昆明。世界政治军事媒体却都在疯狂的关注流浪气球引发的巨大问题????请继续保持，给我们精彩的视频。祝你好运!

Your highlighting on the probable impact on the ecosystem from such ritual is highly appreciated Katherin.

Katherin,非常感谢你强调这种仪式可能对生态系统产生的影响。

Interesting indeed! (Been in Chengdu - for a couple of days only - but never "discovered" any rivers there; aargh.) What you document is quite a clash of a noble and generous Tibetan custom (should be extended to other species, Homo included) and the - I think - horrendous ecological impact, as you gently but clearly pointed out. Luckily, the birds are doing a good job in ameliorating this impact while enriching their diet; a win-win scenario (in a limited way). Good job, Katherine!

真有趣！（在成都呆了几天，但从未在那里“发现”任何河流，可恶。）你记录的是一种高尚而慷慨的藏族习俗（应该扩展到其他物种，包括人）与——我认为——可怕的生态影响之间的冲突，正如你温和但明确地指出的那样。幸运的是，这些鸟在改善这种影响的同时丰富了它们的饮食；双赢的局面（以有限的方式）。干得好，凯瑟琳！

Appreciate the environmental message Katherine, hope the Chengdu government will do something to spread public awareness about this concern

Katherine,感谢你提到的环境相关问题，希望成都政府能做些什么来提高公众对这一问题的认识

Agreed with you 100%. Releasing them meant well, but as you say, it could throw the ecosystem off balance.

100%同意。放生确实很棒，但正如你所说，这可能会使生态系统失去平衡。

A rather nice day out for you as an environmentalist…seeing the surprising blue sky and a life-sustaining river being ‘restocked’ with fishes. The suitability of those species is debatable but the tradition is commendable. :D

作为一名环保主义者，这是一个相当美好的一天……看到令人惊讶的蓝天和一条维持生命的河流以及鱼儿们的回归。这些物种的适宜性值得商榷，但传统值得称赞

We all know Katherine''s idea of "weird food" now - chillies in cakes! 
Although a part of me is certain that there are legit recipes of chilli cakes somewhere in this world 

我们现在都知道凯瑟琳的“怪异食物”理念了——蛋糕里放辣椒！
虽然我认为世界上确有合法的辣椒蛋糕食谱

At many places some temples do sell birds, tortoise to be 放生, they caught them from the jungle, rivers and then re-released them in the city, or different places again, in my opinion it is like kidnapping someone from place A and release them in place Z, this is not 放生 i think? Hope your video reaches many many people across the world and more people are educated and aware...thanks for your effort!

在许多地方，一些寺庙确实出售鸟类和乌龟放生, 他们从丛林、河流中抓到他们，然后在城市或不同的地方再次释放他们，在我看来，这就像是从A地绑架某人，然后在Z地释放他们，我认为这不叫放生？希望你的视频能传播到世界各地的许多人，让更多的人受到教育和了解。。。谢谢你的努力！

Thank you for sharing and very wise to mention about the environmental impact in regards to introducing incompatible species into the said environment. Have a terrific day/year.

Your lucky to come after the rain... The air quality improved drastically in the last couple days.  Welcome to Chengdu!!

风雨后见彩虹。。。过去几天，空气质量大幅改善。欢迎来到成都！！

Great to see you again in your first Chinese hometown of Chengdu, especially on such a nice winter day, in the lovely weather. Now, have you seen any weather balloons lately?

很高兴再次在你的第一个中国家乡成都见到你，特别是在这样一个美好的冬日，在这样一种可爱的天气里。你最近见过气象气球吗？

Exaclty! recently it''s reported that in a lake of China, those released fish from igonorant people actually killed lots of local fish which cause tons of loss and for the first time they were fined. Environmental education to the public is Deadly needed!!!

确实！最近有报道说在一个中国湖泊里，无知的人们往里面放生鱼类，导致湖泊里原本的鱼类被大量杀死，造成了大量的损失，这是他们第一次被罚款。对公众进行环境教育是非常必要的！！！

Interesting knowing about this ceremony!!

了解这个仪式很有趣！！

Based on what the Western media told us about how the Ethnic Minorities are treated in China, those Tibetans would all have been arrested.

根据西方媒体报道的少数民族在中国的待遇来看，这些藏人都会被逮捕。

Justice forall
Katherine, it is always a good idea to save lives.  But, it is a good idea to make sure you release the organism in the appropriate environment.

凯瑟琳，拯救生命总是个好主意。但是，确实应该确保在适当的环境中释放生物体。

Gabriella Girardi
Oh poor fish! Only the birds will be happy, but this is a religious tradition. Anyway the river banks of this city are amazing. Thank you for sharing this beautiful video.

哦，可怜的鱼！只有鸟儿会快乐，但这是一种宗教传统。总之，这座城市的河岸令人惊叹。感谢您分享这段美丽的视频。

I find this a very cute episode I really learn alot from your videos about how Chinese people thinks but I still think their idea of Karma is a long believe since ancient times I think there are 2 parts of China one that is modern and very global in thought while another is very sheltered in their old traditional ways and thinking and I giggled when you figure out why the birds are there hahaha

我觉得这是一个非常可爱的小插曲，我真的从你的视频中学到了很多关于中国人的想法，但我仍然认为他们的因果报应观念是自古以来就一直存在的。我认为中国具有两面性，一方面非常现代和全球化，另一方面则坚持旧有的传统。

John Wong
Thank you Katherine for bringing this awareness, where good (religious) intentions could harm the environment. In the US, what comes in mind is the boa snakes in Florida, the Asian carps and snake heads fishes in lakes that got out of hand as there are no predators to keep them in balance.  There should be an environmentalist around to be consulted before the release of the specie. Good video.

Katherine，感谢你带来了这种意识，即好心可能办坏事，导致环境遭受破坏。在美国，人们想到的是佛罗里达州的蟒蛇、亚洲鲤鱼和湖泊中的蛇头鱼，因为没有捕食者来保持它们的平衡，它们已经失去了控制。在释放这种物种之前，应该向专业的环保人士咨询。视频很棒。

The idea is actually good that is to give a second chance of life for animals that are going to be killed for food. But yeah I do agree with your opinion that releasing animals back into the wild must consider the natural ecosystem. If it doesn''t it will endangered the native species that live in that place and also causes devastation to the environment.

这个想法实际上是好的，那就是给那些将要被杀死作为食物的动物第二次生命的机会。但是，我确实同意你的观点，即将动物放归野外必须考虑到自然生态系统。如果不这样做，将危及生活在该地区的本地物种，并对环境造成破坏。

Hainan Bob
Wow, you got very close to those egrets, wish we could manage that here. Hahaha, I typed that at the beginning of watching. We have seen the occasional release of one or two little fishes but never anything like your scene today. I wonder if there are guys with nets just a bit further downstream. There would be here! You should tell them about the Burmese pythons in Florida or even the fact that salt and fresh water fish do not like each other''s habitat. As always, nice to see you!

哇，你离那些白鹭很近了，希望我们能在这里做到这一点。哈哈哈，我刚开始看的时候注意到了。我们偶尔会看到一两条小鱼被放生，但从来没有像今天这样的场景。我想知道下游是否还有人在用渔网等着。在美国这里的话，肯定有人在下游拿网等着捞了，你应该告诉他们有关佛罗里达州的缅甸蟒蛇，还有盐鱼和淡水鱼不喜欢彼此的栖息地等事情。一如既往，很高兴见到你！

The Buddhists need to find a river where these fishes are native and do the ceremony there

佛教徒需要找到一条这些鱼土生土长的河流，并在那里举行仪式
