BTW, I think North Chinese and South Chinese should marry with each other, this will produce the better looking future offspring for China.

I never thought Shanghainese were considered South, perhaps Northerners from Beijing do?I am from Shanghai, which is considered as the most northern South Chinese group.
My opinion is there is a big, big difference in the mannerisms of Northern Chinese (Beijing, Nanjing) as compared to the Southern Chinese (Guangzhou, Hong Kong).
Native in what sense?
The true native Shanghainese are labeled as "本地人", while most Shanghainese came from Jiangsu and Zhejiang from a large emigration wave from 1900 to 1950.
My opinion is there is a big, big difference in the mannerisms of Northern Chinese (Beijing, Nanjing) as compared to the Southern Chinese (Guangzhou, Hong Kong). My personal experience I feel that Southern Chinese, especially Cantonese speakers, are more amicable ? They are very friendly , and quick to help out foreign tourists, and understanding. When I was in Beijing , i found the people to be colder, more to themselves , less amicable than Southern Chinese. Or maybe its just a Cantonese thing? That they are very welcoming ?
In the sense that you're from that area. Ah, i never knew that there was a large migration of Jiangsu and Zhejiang folk , very interesting. Shanghai truly is a hodgepodge then. In a good way.

Many Chinese in Japan were from my hometown
The older generation of Chinese-Japanese are mostly from Southern China, btw. During Chinese New Year, if you go to Chinatown Tokyo -- you can hear Cantonese spoken everywhere hahaha.
The younger Chinese immigrants to Japan nowadays are from all over China, and Mandarin speakers.

My Auntie and her extended family really showed me how Chinese (Cantonese) are like. Very very family oriented...
Maybe it's the cold weather lol, what are your experiences from Hokkaido compared to Tokyo?

Most northerners are not cold, they are very warm.
It is the southerners who are colder in general, especially Taiwanese and HKers in general.
What's the other half ? I didn't know you're Hapa.![]()
In fact, I have cherry picked the individuals, since most Eurasian individuals in China are not good looking.
Especially those mixed with South Chinese, but mixing with North Chinese will produce slightly better ones.
I've never been to TW but i heard from some HK people that Taiwanese people are warmer than HK and our nipponjin here experienced Beijingers colder than Guangdong people. I think everyone have different experiences.
