Smart wards, big questions

Step inside the hospital of the near future, where smart pumps track supplies, beds monitor movement, and AI helps flag risks before they escalate. These intelligent wards are becoming a reality across China, promising safer care and relief for overstretched staff. But as the technology scales, the real question is how far its benefits will reach and whether every hospital will get to share in the transformation. On the show: Steve, Fei Fei & Yushun

Kids, chores, and why dad doesn't see the laundry

You ask your kid to help clean up and they look around like there's nothing to do. It's not attitude, but a glimpse into something researchers call cognitive labor, the invisible load of noticing what needs to be done before anyone asks. That same divide shows up between partners, often without anyone realizing it, yet there are practical ways to bring everyone onto the same page. On the show: Steve, Fei Fei & Yushun

The Soapbox: 20-5-3 Rule

How much time in nature is actually enough? The 20-5-3 framework claims to have the answer. It breaks down ideal outdoor time into daily, monthly, and yearly targets. The rule keeps reappearing across wellness articles and social feeds, but is there real science behind it? Where did this framework come from, what do researchers actually say, and can any formula truly measure our connection to the outdoors? On the show: Steve, Yushan & Yushun

A second serve: how used tennis balls come back to life

What if the thing you toss without thinking outlasts you by four centuries? That is the tennis-ball problem. Millions of them, every year, destined for centuries in a landfill. But in Qingdao, they have found a fix. The solution came from 20,000 dead balls reborn as a court you can actually play on. This is the story of waste that won't wait 400 years to disappear. / A viral complaint is sweeping across China right now. Professors and employers are frustrated because their students and young hires cannot write a proper email. Subject lines are missing. Greetings are absent. Sign-offs are nowhere to be found. But these kids grew up on messaging apps, where speed always won and formality never mattered. So who is really out of touch here? Them, or the rest of us? (27:46) On the show: Steve, Yushan & Yushun

New era for self-driving safety begins

China just introduced new national safety standards for autonomous vehicles. Under these rules, automakers are now required to maintain safety oversight throughout the entire lifecycle of the car, not just at launch. That shift changes who is responsible when things go wrong and redefines the future of driving. On the show: Steve, Yushan & Yushun

Why is it still so hard to take a vacation?

Paid annual leave is a legal right in China, yet many workers choose not to take it. The reasons are nuanced. Concerns about falling behind, disappointing a manager, or the weight of a culture that values presence over performance all play a part. Provincial governments are introducing new measures to encourage companies to let employees step away. On the show: Fei Fei, Steve & Yushan

Summer travel ditches the bucket list

Vacations used to mean crowded monuments and a camera roll full of proof you'd been somewhere. This summer, however, travelers are ditching the bucket list for deeper experiences like music festivals, traditional village stays, and hands-on cultural activities that leave a lasting impression. Why is tourism shifting from sightseeing to genuine connection, and how are cities and rural communities adapting to meet this new demand? On the show: Steve, Yushan & Yushun

What makes a city feel like home?

A new survey asked young Chinese migrants what makes a city finally feel like home. The answers had less to do with money or apartments and more to do with something simpler: human connection. But for millions leaving home for school and work, building those bonds is often the hardest part. So what makes some places easier to call home than others? / A dead appliance. A knock on the door. For millions of people living alone in China, that moment can trigger more anxiety than the repair bill ever could. But when the person on the other side is a woman, something changes. All-female repair crews are quietly winning over customers across the country. Not because they fix things faster, but because they bring a sense of ease that starts before they even step inside (35:14). On the show: Steve, Fei Fei & Yushan
