    民办本科招生遇冷 - Private Undergraduate Enrollment Cools Down [HSK 6]

    Many private undergraduate colleges remain unfilled after multiple rounds of recruitment, and experts call for reform in school-running approaches.

Many private universities still haven’t filled their spots even after three or four rounds of recruitment. 黄刚: Yes, I saw. For example, Zhanjiang University of Science and Technology still had more than 2,900 vacancies after the third round. 陈花: Is this because the tuition is too expensive? I heard it can cost twenty to thirty thousand yuan a year, or even more. 黄刚: Yes, the fees are one factor. In addition, the teaching quality varies a lot, and employment prospects are not good, so students and parents would rather choose vocational colleges or repeat a year. 陈花: No wonder some parents say they are 'voting with their feet' by simply not choosing private universities. 黄刚: Exactly. Actually, not just undergraduates — private middle schools and high schools also face difficulties in enrollment. The external environment and economic pressure make parents more cautious. 陈花: But I saw that some newly established universities, like Fuyao University of Science and Technology and Westlake University, have very high admission scores and are quite popular. 黄刚: That’s because they have heavy investment and high teaching standards, which are not at the same level as ordinary private colleges. Experts also remind us that traditional private undergraduates must transform and take a specialized path. 陈花: It sounds like education in the future will become more diverse. We can’t just focus on degrees; we also need to consider children’s potential and career directions. 黄刚: That’s right. Breaking degree obsession and focusing on students’ development is the long-term way of running schools.

I want to take a plane again.

    韩国限制反华集会的深层逻辑 - The Deeper Logic Behind South Korea's Restrictions on Anti-China Rallies [HSK 7]

    Under economic and diplomatic pressure, the South Korean government restricted anti-China rallies, highlighting the struggle between populism and rationality.

This feels very sudden to me. 陈智高: Sudden? Actually not. Lee Jae-myung labeled it as 'disturbance', and the police quickly enforced it. This is the result of combined political and economic pressure. 王明月: I saw reports saying that shop owners jointly protested, claiming the rallies harmed their business. So economic considerations are the real key. 陈智高: Exactly. 'When people are well-fed and clothed, they know honor and shame.' Economic interests often outweigh political slogans. If Chinese tourists stop coming, the Myeongdong business district cannot survive. 王明月: Does this mean the South Korean government is turning pro-China? 陈智高: It shouldn’t be understood that way. It’s more like a return to rationality. A mature country won’t let extreme emotions hijack public space. Lee Jae-myung simply chose a more pragmatic path. 王明月: This pragmatism reminds me of the ancient Chinese wisdom of 'the Doctrine of the Mean'. It’s not about completely following one side, but finding balance amid contradictions. 陈智高: Well said. The Doctrine of the Mean is not compromise, but dynamic balance. With this move, South Korea both safeguarded its diplomatic image and responded to economic realities—truly 'acting according to the circumstances'.

Isn't first place something to be happy about? 小刚: She cried because she wanted a schedule adjustment to compete, but the hospital was very busy and the leaders didn’t fully agree. 小宝: Oh, so running is her hobby, but being a nurse is important too. 小刚: Right, so many people are discussing it: some think she should be supported, others think colleagues’ workloads must be considered. 小宝: I think she’s amazing—she can save lives and run fast! 小刚: Yeah, she keeps up with training and work without neglecting either. Truly admirable.

A hotel guest had a maintenance worker mistakenly enter their room while they were still sleeping. 优子: I saw it, that’s so scary! I also often stay in hotels, and if that happened to me I’d be terrified. That person was even sleeping completely naked. 刘娜: The hotel said the maintenance worker went to the wrong room. He was supposed to repair the next-door room but entered the wrong one. Still, that’s a very serious mistake. 优子: Yes, even if it was an accident, it shows a problem with hotel management. The worker should knock first and make sure no one is inside before entering, right? 刘娜: Exactly, and the guest’s shoes were in the room—if the worker had noticed, he could have realized. Luckily, the guest called the police, and the hotel waived the room fee. 优子: I think waiving the fee isn’t enough. This affects the guest’s privacy and sense of safety. From now on, we should be more careful in hotels and remember to lock the door. 刘娜: This incident reminds us that we must pay attention to safety when staying in hotels. Even in star-rated hotels, management issues can still happen.

They look very special. 刘娜: You’ve discovered a treasure of Chinese — chengyu (idioms)! They are crystallized wisdom passed down from ancient times. For example, '事半功倍' is still used today to praise people who work with high efficiency. 小潘: So idioms are still used! What about '画蛇添足'? I find that story interesting, since snakes don’t have feet. 刘娜: '画蛇添足' is now used to criticize people who do unnecessary things. For example, if your essay is already good and you add content that isn’t needed, I’d say you’re '画蛇添足'. 小潘: Haha, I get it! What about '朝三暮四'? I looked up the story — it’s about monkeys and acorns. 刘娜: Great! But the meaning of '朝三暮四' has changed now. It mainly describes someone who keeps changing their mind, especially someone fickle in relationships. For example, liking one person today and another tomorrow. 小潘: Amazing! Ancient stories can express modern issues. Will learning idioms really make my Chinese more authentic? 刘娜: Of course! Idioms are the essence of Chinese culture. Using them well shows a deep understanding of Chinese. Just make sure to use them in the right context to truly demonstrate your level.
