Some netizens clicked on Xu Yang's newly released video.
They only saw Xu Yang sitting in a somewhat dilapidated courtyard, with neatly stacked, split firewood beside him. Then there was a big brown bear standing behind Xu Yang, looking friendly.
Just by seeing the video thumbnail, people were stupefied.
"Holy shit?"
"Brown bear?"
"How did Old Xu get in touch with a brown bear again?"
"That's just ridiculous!"
As everyone clicked into the video, they heard Xu Yang's commentary:
"I'm now in a remote village in Siberia, there's a little farm here, and the farmer is Ivan."
"This brown bear was rescued by Ivan when it was a cub, and grew up with his whole family, becoming very close to people."
"The villagers like to feed it too."
"This brown bear has a good temperament, and I also enjoy playing with it while I'm visiting."
Accompanying Xu Yang's commentary, he reached out and patted the brown bear on the head.
