I served in the Australian Infantry from 2014 to 2021, with specialist qualifications in Heavy Weapons and Anti-Armour, as well as Combat First Aid. I deployed to Afghanistan as a crew commander of an Armoured Mobility Vehicle.
Upon my return, I was unexpectedly diagnosed with an incurable and inoperable brain tumour that is slowly killing me. I was also awarded the Queen’s Order of Australia Medal (OAM), hence the post-nominals after my name.
After being medically separated from the Army, I flew to Ukraine in 2022 for six and a half months. I now make content full-time.
I really appreciate you being here. Thank you.
Willy OAM speaks from Guangzhou after a three-week trip around China. He reflects on how his experiences differ from his earlier expectations, describes conversations with young people and travelers, and shares his views about China’s government and society. He mentions visa-free entry, rail, metro, DiDi and payment systems as parts of his travel experience. Near the end, he recounts how his partner left a phone in a DiDi; police helped them communicate with the driver, who returned it. Political claims in the video are the creator’s opinions.

Willy OAM opens from Guangzhou and says he has spent three weeks in China on his third trip of the year. He discusses how his views changed after visiting, and distinguishes his opinions about the government from his experiences with local people. Much of the video is political and social commentary, including his views on generational differences, conversations with young people, and how people judge China. These are the creator’s opinions rather than independent reporting. He describes meeting locals and says people asked where he was from and welcomed him. He says rail, metro, highways, DiDi and payment systems made getting around easy in his experience. He also discusses visa-free entry as a reason people may choose to visit, without specifying eligibility rules. Near the end, he recounts that his partner left a phone in a DiDi. Police helped them communicate with the driver using Google Translate, and the driver returned with the phone; the narrator says they paid him about four times the DiDi fare for the return trip.
