Episode 1: Tervetuloa!

上次发了疫情文学（1）很多朋友不禁捧腹，于是今天出了疫情文学（2）以飨读者：D


1.	于千万人之中遇到你所要遇见的人，于千万年之中，时间无涯的荒野里，没有早一步，没有晚一步。刚好赶上了，那也没有别的话好说，唯有轻轻的问一句：“哦，你也在这里排队做核酸吗？”
2.	“生活总是这么痛苦吗？还是只有疫情的时候才这样？”“总是这样”
3.	我要看的不只是绿码，还有您的48小时核酸检测报告，纳斯塔霞 菲利波夫纳“公爵说。”你是说我？我的48小时核酸检测报告？“”是的，您“，
4.	这是最好的时代，也是最坏的时代；这是一个新冠的年代，这是一个核酸的年代；这是一个封城的时期，这是一个带口罩的时期。
5.	假如你有幸生活在21世纪20年代，那么你此后一生中不论去到哪里，口罩、健康码，核酸检测都与你同在，因为疫情是一席流动的盛宴。

疫情文学（2）——疫情是一席流动的盛宴

Number culture is an important part in Chinese culture. In this radio, I will briefly introduce number one, number three and number 4. After listening this radio, you will know why Chinese people dislike number 4 in daily life.

In this episode we will talk about guilty pleasures! What they are, how they come to be, and some examples. A guilty pleasure is defied as 'an activity or piece of media that someone enjoys but would be embarrassed by if other people found out about it'. I hope you enjoy the episode :)

The English Umbrella

Talking about Guilty Pleasures!

The 3-Second Shift: From Tension to Trust

What if clarity had nothing to do with vocabulary?
What if your English didn’t need fixing — your voice just needed space?

In this episode, I share a story about one of my clients — a senior product lead at Tencent — who felt like she disappeared every time she had to speak in English.

She wasn’t struggling with grammar.
She was struggling with presence.

We didn’t work on performance.
We worked on something simpler — and far more powerful:
A 3-second shift that helped her speak from calm, not tension. From self-trust, not fear.

If you’re a global professional who sounds fluent but doesn’t feel fully you in English — this episode is for you.

DM me “VOICE” if it resonates. I’ll send you a short voice note you can use today.

Let’s bring your real voice back.

The 3-Second Shift: From Tension to Trust

With both a European and Asian side, Istanbul really is where East and West meet. Here are some of the city's top tourist attractions.

Sultanahmet
Many of Istanbul's most famous buildings are in Sultanahmet on the European side. Tourists can enjoy the beautiful Blue Mosque, built by Sultan Ahmet I in the 17th century. Or they can take a trip to the city's past in the Hagia Sophia — which has been both a Christian church and a mosque before being made into a museum.

Spice Bazaar
While the Grand Bazaar is the most famous Istanbul market, the Spice Bazaar offers a more fun and colorful shopping experience. Almost any spice can be found in the Spice Bazaar, as well as Turkish candies — and the shops will let you try a little bit of everything!



Kadiköy
The Kadiköy neighborhood on Istanbul's Asian side is popular with young people for its pubs, cafes and music venues. Chat with artists and writers in the tea garden of the Nâzım Hikmet Cultural Center, which celebrates the life of one of Turkey's most famous poets. After that, shop for antiques on Tellalzade Street.



The Bosphorus
The Bosphorus is between Istanbul's two sides. There are many Bosphorus boat tours to choose from, including ones with meals and entertainment. For the best price, take one of the city's public boats — tickets cost less than $1, and they offer the same sights.



Food
Istanbul is famous for its food. Enjoy some meze — many small plates of food — with fish and the local spirit, raki. Or buy a simit — a round bread covered in seeds — from the street sellers. Don't forget to try a cup of Turkish coffee or a glass of black tea with lots of sugar.
