    [HSK 5] 风水真的有用吗？ - Does Feng Shui Really Work?

    A teacher and student discuss feng shui’s practical meaning and cultural value in modern life. 风水真的有用吗？ - Does Feng Shui Really Work?

Is that feng shui? 刘娜: Yes, that is indeed a feng shui idea. Do you find it strange? Actually, feng shui isn’t entirely superstition—many principles make a lot of sense. For example, if the bed faces the door, someone walking by at night can disturb your sleep. 小潘: I see! I also heard there are rules about office seating too—like having your back against a wall and facing the door? 刘娜: Exactly! That’s called “having a backer.” From a psychology perspective, having support behind you makes you feel safer, and facing the door helps you keep track of what’s going on around you, so you can focus better at work. 小潘: So in that sense, feng shui is really experience and lessons the ancients summed up from observing daily life? 刘娜: You’ve got it! The core of feng shui is “harmony between people and the environment.” Some explanations do sound mysterious, but the idea of pursuing a balanced, comfortable living space is still well worth learning from. 小潘: We have similar ideas in Vietnam too. It seems East Asian cultures share common wisdom about the relationship between environment and daily life! 刘娜: Exactly! Cultural exchange is about discovering those common points. You can try arranging your dorm to be more comfortable—whether you call it feng shui or not, the most important thing is that you’re happy living there.

    [HSK 3] 要不要把小蜥蜴买回家 - Should We Buy the Little Lizard and Take It Home?

    Keeping “exotic pets” such as lizards and snakes is becoming increasingly popular, but they are difficult to care for and may even make people sick. 要不要把小蜥蜴买回家 - Should We Buy the Little Lizard and Take It Home?

The little lizard is on my hand, and I’m not scared at all! 小刚: You’re really brave. But as soon as you’re done playing with it, you need to wash your hands. 小宝: Why? It’s very clean. 小刚: It looks clean, but lizard droppings contain bacteria—very tiny harmful things. If they get into your stomach, they can make you sick. 小宝: Then I’ll give it a bath every day when we get home! Let’s buy one. Mom will agree. 小刚: It’s not like a cat or a dog. It needs to live somewhere very warm; if it gets even a little too cold or too hot, it can get sick. We don’t have a place like that at home. 小宝: But that man said it’s easy to take care of… 小刚: Of course the seller would say that. I read in a book that many people stop wanting to keep them after just a few days and release them outside. They can’t survive, and they might also harm other small animals. 小宝: Then it’s too pitiful. I won’t buy one. Let’s come see it again next week, okay? 小刚: Okay. Come on, let’s wash our hands first.

    [HSK 4] 大学生的旅游攻略不适合我 - Travel Itineraries Made for College Students Don’t Work for Me

    Many middle-aged people discover after following college students’ “special forces” travel guides that these budget-friendly, highly efficient itineraries don’t suit their own stamina or pace. 大学生的旅游攻略不适合我 - Travel Itineraries Made for College Students Don’t Work for Me [HSK 4]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》黄刚: Didn’t you go to Xi’an? How come you complained about back pain on your very first day back? 赵强: Don’t remind me. I followed a college student’s travel guide I found online: I left at six in the morning, visited five attractions in one day, and even had a nighttime climb planned. By the next day, I could barely lift my legs. 黄刚: You really went all out. College students love this kind of “special forces tourism”—taking hard-seat trains, staying in cheap hotels, and walking 30,000 steps a day just to spend less and check off more attractions. 赵强: The guide even said, “See the Terracotta Warriors in two hours.” I actually followed it, but I spent the whole time rushing and couldn’t even see things clearly. 黄刚: So there’s not necessarily anything wrong with the guide itself; it’s just not necessarily right for you. Young people have more stamina and care more about saving money and being efficient. At our age, traveling comfortably may be more important. 赵强: I understand now. I saved 100 yuan on the hotel, but the next afternoon I couldn’t go anywhere and slept in the room for four hours. 黄刚: Next time, plan just one or two places a day, find a good restaurant for a proper meal in between, and go back to the hotel to rest if you get tired. Traveling isn’t a work assignment you have to complete. 赵强: Exactly. From now on, I’ll first see whether an itinerary suits me, and only then look at how much money it can save. Vacations are hard to come by—I don’t want to spend money making myself miserable again.

    [HSK 4] 补办结婚证发现多了一个妻子 - Man Discovers an Extra 'Wife' While Replacing His Marriage Certificate

    A man in Guizhou discovered while applying for a replacement marriage certificate that two marriages were registered under his name. It turned out to be an error in registration records from many years ago. 补办结婚证发现多了一个妻子 - Man Discovers an Extra 'Wife' While Replacing His Marriage Certificate [HSK 4]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》优子: Ms. Liu, I just saw a news story. A man went to replace his marriage certificate, and the system actually showed that he had two wives. Is this really bigamy? 刘娜: No, it isn't bigamy. He has only been married once. The other 'wife' is actually his second elder brother's wife. It was a registration mistake from years ago. 优子: How could his second sister-in-law have been registered as his wife? That sounds so strange. 刘娜: He got married in 2004. When his older brother got married in 2008, the staff may have accidentally registered the information under his name. Back then, many records were still handwritten, and the systems weren't connected online. 优子: I see. Then can't they just correct the mistake now? 刘娜: It's not that simple. Since it's an error in the official records, they first have to check the old paper documents and then correct the erroneous record according to the proper procedure. 优子: No wonder he's so anxious. Without a correct marriage certificate, his child's schooling and other administrative procedures could be affected, right? 刘娜: Yes. The local civil affairs department has said it will investigate the matter and provide a response within 7 to 15 working days. Hopefully they can get to the bottom of it soon so it doesn't continue to disrupt the family's life.

I want to hear her tell me stories about when my mom was little. 刘娜: That's a beautiful dream. Ten years is too long. I think you can do it in two. 大卫: Really? Then, teacher, what do you want to do ten years from now? 刘娜: I want to write a book to help people from other countries learn Chinese. 大卫: Then I'll buy your book! I'll be the first one! 刘娜: All right, I'll give you the very first copy. 大卫: Ten years from now, let's have tea together again and talk about today, okay? 刘娜: Okay, it's a promise.

One is new, and the other is very old. 小潘: I can tell. This one has turned a little yellow, and it has a slight smell. 黄刚: Right. That's because it's been around for a long time and the air is very humid. Paper can easily deteriorate under these conditions. 小潘: I see. It's also very humid in Hue, and books can become like this too. 黄刚: That's why we need to keep important documents in a dry place and organize them by category. 小潘: Are these old documents very important? 黄刚: Yes. Some of them are documents from many years ago and are very useful for historical research. 小潘: I understand. Protecting documents means protecting history. 黄刚: Very well said. This is especially important when working with culture and heritage.
