"Let me show you this warm and fantastic place." With these words, 70-year-old Canadian Larry kicked off a vlog that would soon go viral. Titled My Fantastic Hospital in China, the video, posted on Rednote on July 6, offered a heartfelt and detailed glimpse into his recent medical experience at a hospital in Dongguan.
With warmth and humor, Larry gave a personal tour of his hospital room, praised the professionalism of the doctors and nurses, and smiled widely as he showed off the modern amenities and thoughtful services. "It's incredible," he said, giving multiple thumbs up throughout the clip.
The video quickly went viral, sweeping across global social media platforms. By July 9, it had garnered 1,658 likes and over 140 heartfelt comments from viewers in the U.S., U.K., Spain, Norway, and beyond.
A proud viewer from Hebei, China, commented simply: "This level of high-quality care is already the norm in China."
But there was one burning question everyone wanted answered: Where is this hospital?
Keen-eyed viewers turned into online detectives, scanning the video frame by frame. Eventually, someone spotted the logo of Dongguan Songshan Lake Central Hospital, putting the hospital in the international spotlight.
