Recently I liten to podcast in english when I sleep. Sometimes I can't sleep in complete silence, so this is great.

Today I had a conversation with a friend. At the beginning, there was a strange echo and some unexpected sounds during the call. We suspected it might be related to the computer, microphone, or even a VPN connection, but we could not find the exact cause. Later, our conversation shifted to internet privacy and communication in China. This reminded me of a story my father told me. When he worked at a factory, employees were supposed to receive compensation for winter heating expenses, but the factory did not pay them. Some workers discussed gathering together to address the issue, and shortly afterward many of them received phone calls from the police. One police officer privately admitted that he understood their frustration because his own mother had experienced something similar. I mentioned that learning Chinese is often less urgent for foreigners because they can usually live and work successfully without speaking Chinese. We discussed some former students of mine.
