    [HSK 3] “韩国冰奶”到底是哪儿的 - Where Is 'Korean Iced Milk' Actually From?

    Junxi buys a cup of the recently popular 'Korean Iced Milk,' only to discover that this drink is actually not common in Korea. “韩国冰奶”到底是哪儿的 - Where Is 'Korean Iced Milk' Actually From?

It's called 'Korean Iced Milk.' I even took a photo and was about to post it on Xiaohongshu. 刘娜: That's quite an unusual name. Have you ever had anything like this in Korea? 俊熙: No, and that's exactly why I thought it was strange. I even asked my friends in Seoul, and they said they'd never seen it either. 刘娜: Then maybe 'Korean Iced Milk' is just the name. Look, the company address on the bottom of the cup says Shenyang. 俊熙: It really does! I was so focused on the Korean writing on the cup that I didn't notice at all. 刘娜: No wonder you got the wrong idea. The cup and the color scheme of the shop's interior really do have a Korean-style aesthetic. 俊熙: Right. And when people get their drinks, a lot of them take photos before they even have a sip. The flavor is actually pretty simple—just ice-cold milk with fruit. 刘娜: It's simple, looks good, and is refreshing in summer. No wonder it's been so popular lately. 俊熙: Then I'll have to change my video. Instead of calling it a 'new product from Korea,' it would be more interesting to say, 'It has a very Korean-sounding name, but it turns out it's from Northeast China.'

    [HSK 3] 一条新闻,两种看法 - One News Story, Two Perspectives

    Xiaopan and Huang Gang discuss news about China–Vietnam trade and explore the connection between history and the present. 一条新闻,两种看法 - One News Story, Two Perspectives [HSK 3]Download the app here:Chinese Short Dialogue | App StoreChinese Short Dialogue | Google PlayAvailable in 8 languages on the app:Chinese Listening | 중국어 리스닝 | 中国語リスニング | Аудирование по китайскому языку | Nghe tiếng Trung | Mendengarkan bahasa Mandarin | Escucha en chino | การฟังภาษาจีน | Chinesisches Hören | Écoute du chinois | Ascolto cinese | Audição em chinês | चीनी सुनना | الاستماع إلى اللغة الصينية 《English Translation》小潘: Mr. Huang, what news are you reading? I saw the term "China–Vietnam freight train," but I don't really understand it. 黄刚: That's right. It's a freight railway service between China and Vietnam, and it's developing rapidly. Many goods are imported and exported through this route. 小潘: I see. In Vietnam, I've also heard that trade between China and Vietnam is increasing. I think things are very different now compared with the past. 黄刚: Tell me, what do you think is different? 小潘: In the past, I felt that China helped Vietnam more. But from the news now, it seems that both sides benefit. It's "helping each other." 黄刚: Very well said. That's what we often call a "win-win" situation. It's great that you're able to look at the issue from a historical perspective. 小潘: Thank you, teacher. But sometimes there are cultural differences too. For example, business practices can be different. Could that cause problems? 黄刚: Of course there can be some small issues, such as different communication styles. But as long as we understand each other's cultures better, we can gradually solve them. 小潘: I understand. Learning a language isn't just about speaking it; it's also about understanding the culture. 黄刚: Exactly. If you work in China–Vietnam exchanges in the future, that kind of understanding will be very important.

    [HSK 5] “老登”这个词能随便用吗 - Can You Use the Term “老登” Casually?

    The internet slang term “老登” may be harmless as a joke among people who know each other well, but using someone’s age to belittle a specific person can easily cross the line. “老登”这个词能随便用吗 - Can You Use the Term “老登” Casually? [HSK 5]Download the app here:Chinese Short Dialogue | App StoreChinese Short Dialogue | Google PlayAvailable in 8 languages on the app:Chinese Listening | 중국어 리스닝 | 中国語リスニング | Аудирование по китайскому языку | Nghe tiếng Trung | Mendengarkan bahasa Mandarin | Escucha en chino | การฟังภาษาจีน | Chinesisches Hören | Écoute du chinois | Ascolto cinese | Audição em chinês | चीनी सुनना | الاستماع إلى اللغة الصينية 《English Translation》赵强: I was just complaining about a business partner in the group chat. He really loves pulling rank based on seniority, and I almost typed, “This 老登 is really hard to communicate with.” 黄刚: Good thing you didn’t send it. Even though “老登” is often used as an internet meme now, saying it directly about a specific person, especially with an emphasis on age, can easily turn into an insult. 赵强: But people say it everywhere online, don’t they? Some people even call their own dads “我家老登,” and it doesn’t sound that serious. 黄刚: Joking among people who know each other depends on whether both sides are comfortable with it. The real problem is that you’re annoyed because he’s preachy and won’t listen to other opinions, not because he’s older. 赵强: So if I insult him for being “old,” I’m actually turning a behavior problem into an age problem. Not everyone in their forties likes to pull rank. 黄刚: Exactly. Young people can be arrogant too. If you really want to criticize him, saying “Don’t use your seniority to pressure people” or “This way of communicating makes people uncomfortable” is more accurate. 赵强: That makes sense. Especially at work, if I post something impulsively in a group chat and someone shares a screenshot, the joke may not stay a joke anymore. 黄刚: So memes are fine to use, but you have to consider the person and the situation. If what bothers you is someone’s behavior, criticize the behavior instead of labeling them by age.

    [HSK 5] 隐瞒婚姻谈恋爱 - Dating While Concealing a Marriage

    A man concealed the fact that he was married and dated a woman for years, leading to disputes over marital property, a compensation agreement, and legal liability. 隐瞒婚姻谈恋爱 - Dating While Concealing a Marriage [HSK 5]Download the app here:Chinese Short Dialogue | App StoreChinese Short Dialogue | Google PlayAvailable in 8 languages on the app:Chinese Listening | 중국어 리스닝 | 中国語リスニング | Аудирование по китайскому языку | Nghe tiếng Trung | Mendengarkan bahasa Mandarin | Escucha en chino | การฟังภาษาจีน | Chinesisches Hören | Écoute du chinois | Ascolto cinese | Audição em chinês | चीनी सुनना | الاستماع إلى اللغة الصينية 《English Translation》陈花: I saw a news story today about a man who hid the fact that he was married and dated a woman for five years. 黄刚: I saw it too. The woman always thought he was single. Even after she learned the truth, he kept saying he would get divorced, so she continued to believe him. 陈花: The report said she also became pregnant twice and underwent abortions both times. On one occasion, the man even signed the paperwork as her husband. 黄刚: After they broke up, the man's wife sued the woman and demanded the return of more than 360,000 yuan in jointly owned marital property. The court held that the man had no right to give away marital property without authorization, so it upheld the wife's claim. 陈花: What about the compensation agreement they signed? Didn't it say that he would pay her 100,000 yuan? 黄刚: The court found that the agreement arose from an improper extramarital relationship and violated public order and good morals, so it could not serve as a valid legal basis. 陈花: The woman is now also preparing to hold him responsible for bigamy and submit additional evidence, right? 黄刚: Yes, but whether his conduct constitutes bigamy will depend on whether the evidence is sufficient. The relevant authorities also said they would continue investigating other suspected disciplinary or legal violations, in addition to issues concerning his personal conduct. 陈花: This case makes me feel that people should be honest with each other, whether they are dating or married. Deceiving someone not only causes emotional harm, but may also result in legal liability.

    [HSK 4] AI短剧不是越多越好 - More AI Short Dramas Isn't Always Better

    AI short dramas are being produced in large numbers because they are fast and inexpensive to make, but very few become truly popular. Content quality has become the key.

They said they can use AI to make dozens of short dramas in a week, and the price is really low. The boss is a little tempted. 黄刚: Sounds impressive, but are you really planning to do it? Lately, I've seen a lot of people complaining about AI short dramas. Thousands can be churned out in a day, but hardly any are worth watching. 赵强: I'm worried about that too. I watched three samples. The characters' expressions looked strange, and the plots were all pretty much the same—either an overbearing CEO or someone suddenly getting reborn. 黄刚: That's exactly the problem. AI has lowered production costs, so even one person with a computer can make them. But viewers aren't going to watch more episodes just because they're cheap to produce. 赵强: Right. In marketing, the last thing we want is to focus only on quantity. Even if we post a hundred videos, the numbers will still look bad if no one wants to watch them to the end. 黄刚: And now AI-generated content also has to be labeled according to regulations. Technology can help you save time, but in the end, people still have to decide whether a story is any good. 赵强: Then tomorrow I'll tell the boss not to buy any kind of 'bulk package' yet. We'll have them make two or three samples first and decide after looking at the completion rates. 黄刚: That makes sense. Viewers have never been short of short dramas. What they're short of are short dramas worth spending time on.

After he lost, he got very angry and hit his opponent. 小宝: Is it okay to hit someone if you lose? 小刚: Of course not. In competitions, sometimes you win and sometimes you lose. Even when you're angry, you have to control yourself. 小宝: Did the person who got hit do something wrong? 小刚: No. After the match, he even took the initiative to shake hands. Later, the boy who hit someone had his results canceled and was banned from competing for one year. 小宝: But he's still a child. Should everyone forgive him? 小刚: He should be given a chance to correct his mistake, but first he needs to admit that hitting someone was wrong and apologize to the other person. 小宝: From now on, if I lose a game, I won't get angry and hit anyone. I'll calm down first.
