    3.3.26B《乡下人家》Story walkthrough

    Welcome to 听故事说中文, the podcast where stories come alive to help you improve your Chinese language proficiency and cultural competency. In this episode we journey to the world of rural Chinese life, as captured through the evocative words of 陈醉云. Picture a humble village home, where melon vines gracefully climb trellises and vibrant gourds dangle like nature's own ornaments. These scenes, with their verdant greens and lively reds, form a unique charm that outshines the grandeur of urban stone lions and towering flagpoles. In this episode, we delve into the simple yet magnificent rural landscapes, where peonies and dahlias bloom according to the seasons, offering a glimpse into the rustic elegance of farm life. Imagine wandering among bamboo groves, discovering fresh shoots peeking through the earth, or witnessing the daily rituals of hens and their chicks foraging in harmony with nature. As evening falls, envision villagers dining under the open sky, surrounded by the gentle hues of dusk and the soothing chorus of katydids. This is a portrait of tranquility and harmony that only the countryside can offer. Join us as we explore these captivating stories, and don’t forget to share your thoughts and comments with us.
