Last time we spoke about the Soviet-Japanese neutrality pact. In the summer of 1939, the Nomonhan Incident escalated into a major clash along the Halha River, where Soviet-Mongolian forces under Georgy Zhukov decisively defeated Japan's Kwantung Army. Zhukov's offensive, launched on August 20, involved intense artillery, bombers, and encirclement tactics, annihilating the Japanese 23rd Division and exposing weaknesses in Japanese mechanized warfare. The defeat, coinciding with the Hitler-Stalin Nonaggression Pact, forced Japan to negotiate a ceasefire on September 15-16, redrawing borders and deterring further northern expansion. Stalin navigated negotiations with Britain, France, and Germany to avoid a two-front war, ultimately signing the German-Soviet pact on August 23, which secured Soviet neutrality in Europe while addressing eastern threats. Post-Nomonhan, Soviet-Japanese relations warmed rapidly: fishing disputes were resolved, ambassadors exchanged, and the Chinese Eastern Railway sale finalized. By 1941, a neutrality pact was concluded, allowing Japan to pivot southward toward China and Southeast Asia.   #193 The Chiang-Wang Divide Welcome to the Fall and Rise of China Podcast, I am your dutiful host Craig Watson.

After that lengthy mini series covering the battle of Khalkin Gol, we need to venture back into the second sino-japanese war, however like many other colossal events….well a lot was going on simultaneously. I wanted to take an episode to talk about the beginning of something known as the Reorganized National Government of the Republic of China, or much shorter, the Wang Jingwei Regime. It's been quite some time since we spoke about this character and he is a large part of the second sino-japanese war.    After the fall of Tianjin and Beiping, the government offices in Nanjing entered their annual summer recess. All of GMD's senior leadership, from Chiang Kai-shek down to Wang Jingwei, gathered on Mount Lu, a picturesque resort in northern Jiangxi, south of the Yangtze, famed for cliffs, clouds, and summer villas. Although Chiang had visited Mount Lu every summer, this was the first occasion that nearly the entire central government assembled there. Analysts suspected the gathering was a deliberate move to relocate government functions inland in the event of total war. Dozens of the nation's leading intellectuals were invited to Mount Lu to discuss strategies for countering Japan's ambitions. The forum was scheduled to begin on July 15 and to last twenty-seven days in three phases. The bridge incident caught them off guard. Unlike Manchuria, Beiping had long been the nation's capital, and the shock added urgency to the proceedings. When the forum, chaired by Wang, finally opened on July 16, speculation ran as to whether this signaled another regional conflict or the onset of full-scale war. The media pressed for a resolute stance of resistance from the government. To dispel the mounting confusion and perhaps his own indecision, Chiang delivered a solemn speech on July 17, declaring that if the incident could not be resolved peacefully, China would face the "crucial juncture" of national survival and would consider military action; if war began, every Chinese person, from every corner of the country and from every walk of life, would have to sacrifice all to defend the nation.   Chiang's Mount Lu Speech was now commonly regarded as the moment when China publicly proclaimed its firm commitment to resistance. Contemporary observers, however, did not take Chiang's stance at face value. Tao Xisheng, a Peking University law professor who had been invited, recalled that after the speech, people gathered in Hu Shi's room to discuss whether a peace option remained. Chiang left the mountain on July 20, leaving Wang to chair the conference. The discussions continued upon their return to Nanjing, where a National Defense Conference was organized in mid-August. It was also Tao's first encounter with Wang Jingwei. A "peace faction," largely composed of civil officials and intellectuals, began to take shape around Wang, favoring diplomatic solutions over costly and potentially ineffective military action.   During this period, both Chiang and Wang publicly called for resistance, while both harbored hopes for a peaceful solution. Yet their emphases differed. On July 29, Wang Jingwei delivered a radio address from Nanjing titled "The Critical Juncture," echoing Chiang's slogan. He likewise asserted that after repeated concessions and retreats, the critical juncture had come for China to rise against Japan. It would be a harsh form of resistance, since a weak nation had no alternative but to sacrifice every citizen's life and scorch every inch of land. Yet toward the end, Wang's speech took on an ironic turn. He stated, "The so-called resistance demands sacrificing the whole land and the whole nation to resist the invader. If there is no weakness in the world, then there is also no strength. Once we have completed the sacrifice, we also realize the purpose of resistance. We hail 'the critical juncture'! We hail 'sacrifice'!" The sentiment sounded almost satirical, revealing his doubt about the meaning of total sacrifice.   The hope for containment was crushed by Japan's ongoing advances. On November 12, Shanghai fell. Chiang's gamble produced about 187,200 Chinese casualties, including roughly 30,000 officers trained to German standards. Japanese casualties were estimated at a third to a half of the Chinese losses, still making it their deadliest single battle to date. The battered Japanese Imperial Army and Navy, long convinced of their invincibility, were consumed by vengeful bloodlust. The army swept from Shanghai toward Nanjing, leaving a trail of murder, rape, arson, and plunder across China's heartland.   With the fall of Nanjing looming, the central government announced on November 20 that it would relocate to Chongqing, a city upriver on the Yangtze protected by sheer cliffs. Plans for Chongqing as a reserve capital had already begun in 1935, with Hankou as the midway station. To preserve elite troops for the future while saving face, Nanjing was entrusted to General Tang Shengzhi and his roughly one hundred thousand largely inexperienced soldiers. Nanjing fell on December 13. Despite this victory, Japan's hopes of ending the China Incident within three months were dashed. The carnage produced by the war, especially the Rape of Nanjing, left a profound moral stain on humanity. A mass exodus from the coastal provinces toward the hinterland began. People fled by boats, trains, buses, rickshaws, and wheelbarrows. Universities, factories, and ordinary households were moved halfway across China, step by step. The nation resolved to persevere, even in distant mountains and deserts if necessary. In Sichuan alone, government relief agencies officially registered about 9.2 million refugees during the war years.   Chiang Kai-shek, after paying respects at Sun Yat-sen's mausoleum, flew to Mount Lu with Song Meiling. The so-called Second Couple chose a more modest path: like most refugees, the Wang family traveled upriver along the Yangtze. On November 21, they left Nanjing, abandoning a recently renovated suburban home and thirty years of collected books. Coincidentally, the ship carrying Wang Jingwei from Nanjing to Wuhan was SS Yongsui, the former SS Zhongshan that had escorted Sun Yat-sen to safety and witnessed Wang's ascent and subsequent downfall from power. Ironically renamed "Yong-sui," the ship's new title meant "peace," while the compound term suijing denoted a policy of appeasement. This symbolism—Wang being carried away from Nanjing by a ship named "Eternal Peace"—foreshadowed his eventual return to the city as a champion of a "peace movement."   After the Mount Lu Forum, Hu Shi and Tao Xisheng could not return to Beiping, now under Japanese occupation. They joined the government in Nanjing. Beginning in mid-August, Japanese bombers began attacking Nanjing. Air power—an unprecedented weapon of mass destruction—humbled and awed a Chinese public largely unfamiliar with airborne warfare. By striking a target that did not serve its immediate interests, Japan demonstrated its world-class military might and employed psychological warfare against the Chinese government and people. Because Zhou Fohai's villa at Xiliuwan had a fortified cellar suitable as an air-raid shelter, a group of like-minded intellectuals and civil servants sought refuge there. They preferred a peaceful approach to the conflict, subscribing to the idea of trading space for time—building China's industrial and military capabilities before confronting Japan. Tao Xisheng and Mei Siping, old allies of Zhou Fohai, lived in his house. Another frequent guest was Luo Junqiang, an ex-communist. The former CCP leader Chen Duxiu, recently released from prison, joined their gatherings a few times. Gao Zongwu hosted another meeting site. Hu Shi, as a guest himself, jokingly called this circle the "Low-Key Club" (Didiao julebu), a label that underscored their pragmatic defiance of the government's high-flown rhetoric urging all-out resistance. Many members of this group would later become central figures in a conspiracy known as the "peace movement," with Wang Jingwei as its leader and emblem.   As Gerald Bunker noted, the peace scheme did not originate with Wang but with certain associates of Chiang, elements in Japanese military intelligence, and members of liberal-minded Japanese political circles who were linked to Konoe. Zhou Fohai belonged to the Chiang-loyalist CC faction, named for Chen Guofu and Chen Lifu. Zhou believed that resistance under current conditions was suicidal. He sought to influence Chiang through people around him, including Wang Jingwei, whom he found impressionable and began visiting at Wang's salon. Gao Zongwu, head of the Foreign Ministry's Asian Department, felt sidelined by Chiang's uncompromising stance. They shared the sense that Chiang might be willing to talk but feared the price, perhaps his own leadership. They were dismayed by the lack of a long-range war plan beyond capitulation. Their view was that China's battlefield losses would worsen the terms of any settlement, and that the war's outcome seemed to benefit Soviet Russia and undermine the GMD more than China itself. The rapid collapses of Shanghai and then Nanjing vindicated their pessimism. Chiang's autocratic decision-making only deepened their dissatisfaction. They feared China was again at risk of foreign conquest from which it might not recover.   Wang Jingwei became the focal point for these disaffected individuals, drawn by his pacifist leanings, intellectual temperament, and preference for consensus-building. After the government relocated to Hankou, he lent guidance to the Literature and Art Research Society (Yiwen yanjiu hui), a propagandist body led by Zhou Fohai and Tao Xisheng. Its purpose was to steer public opinion on issues like the war of resistance and anticommunism, and to advocate a stance that the government must preserve both peace and war as options. Many believed it to be Wang's private organization; in truth, Chiang supported its activities. For much of 1938, Chiang's belligerent anti-Japanese rhetoric and Wang's conciliatory push were two sides of the GMD's broader strategy.   Among the society's regional branches, the Hong Kong chapter flourished under Mei Siping and Lin Baisheng. In addition to editing South China Daily News, Lin established Azure Books and the International Compilation and Translation Society (Guoji bianyishe) as primary propaganda organs. Ironically, Mei Siping had himself been a radical during the 1919 student protests, when he helped set fire to the deputy foreign minister's house in protest of perceived capitulation to Japan.   Wang Jingwei also actively engaged in international efforts to broker peace between Japan and China, including Trautmann's mediation by the German ambassador. Since the outbreak of war, various Western powers had contemplated serving as mediators, but none succeeded. Nazi Germany, aligned with Japan in an anti-Soviet partnership, emerged as China's most likely ally because it did not want Japan to squander its strength in China or compel China to seek Soviet help. Conversely, Japan's interest lay in prolonging the war or achieving a swift settlement. Ambassador Trautmann met with Wang Jingwei multiple times from October 31 to early November 1937 to confirm China's preference for peace before negotiating with Japan. The proposal Trautmann carried to Chiang Kai-shek on November 5 proposed terms including autonomy for Inner Mongolia, a larger demilitarized zone in North China, an expanded cease-fire around Shanghai, a halt to anti-Japanese movements, an anti-communist alliance, reduced tariffs on Japanese goods, and protection of foreign interests in China. Although Japan did not specify territorial gains, these terms deviated significantly from Chiang's demand to restore pre–Marco Polo Bridge status. After Shanghai fell, Chiang's rigidity softened.   On December 5, at Hankou, the National Defense Conference agreed to begin peace negotiations based on Trautmann's terms, a decision Chiang approved. But it was too late: Nanjing fell on December 13, and a provisional Beiping government led by Wang Kemin was established, signaling Japan's growing support for regional separatism. On December 24, Japan issued an ultimatum for a harsher deal to be accepted by January 10. In response, Chiang resigned as chairman of the Executive Yuan on January 1, 1938, and was succeeded by his brother-in-law Kong Xiangxi. Chiang declared that death in defeat was preferable to death in disgrace and refused to yield under coercion. The Konoe Cabinet announced on January 16 that Japan would not negotiate with Chiang Kai-shek. Trautmann's mediation had failed.   After Konoe's announcement, mediation became even more precarious, as it placed the already deadly, no-win situation between the two nations in deeper jeopardy. Secret contacts between the two governments persisted through multiple channels—sometimes at the direction of their own leaders, other times at the initiative of a cadre of officials and quasi-official figures of dubious legitimacy. Many of these covert efforts were steered by Chiang himself. In late 1937, Wang Jingwei even sent Chen Gongbo to Rome to explore the possibility of Italian mediation between China and Japan. After meetings with Mussolini and Foreign Minister Ciano, Chen concluded that Italy had no genuine goodwill toward China and favored Japan. His conversations with other Western leaders (Belgium, France, Britain, and the United States) proved equally fruitless. In diaries, Zhou Fohai and Chen Kewen recorded a pervasive mood of pessimism among Hankou and Chongqing's national government factions. Although direct champions of negotiating with Japan were few, many voices insisted that China was on the brink of collapse while secretly hoping peace talks would begin soon. Gao Zongwu's mission emerged from this tense atmosphere.   With Konoe's cabinet refusing to negotiate with Chiang Kai-shek, many regarded Wang as the best candidate to carry forward a diplomatic solution. Yet Wang remained convinced of his loyalty to Chiang and to Chiang's policy. The Italian ambassador visited Wuhan to offer mediation between Wang and the Japanese government, an invitation Wang declined. Tang Shaoyi's daughter traveled to Wuhan to convey Tokyo's negotiation intent, but was similarly turned away. Even Chen Bijun, then in Hong Kong, urged Wang to join her and start peace negotiations; he again declined. Tao Xisheng remembered a quiet night when Wang confided in him: "This time I will cooperate with Mr. Chiang until the very end, regardless of how the war unfolds." His stance did not change when Gao Zongwu reported that the Imperial Japanese Army General Staff Office wanted him to head the peace talks.   Gao Zongwu's bid was brokered by Dong Daoning, head of the Japan Affairs Section in the Foreign Ministry. Shortly after Konoe's statement, Dong traveled to Shanghai to meet Nishi Yoshiaki, representative of Mantetsu, and Matsumoto Shigeharu, a Dōmei News Agency journalist. Nishi and Matsumoto then introduced Dong to Kagesa Sadaaki, head of the Strategy and Tactics Department in the General Staff Office. Kagesa introduced Dong to Deputy Director Tada Hayao and colleagues Ishiwara Kanji and Imai Takeo, who agreed that a peaceful resolution to the China crisis aligned with Japan's interests. It would be inaccurate to paint these figures as pacifists: Ishiwara, who helped build Manchukuo, also recognized that further incursions into China could jeopardize Japan's hard-won gains. They proposed a temporary resignation by Chiang to spare Konoe from having to retract his refusal to negotiate, thereby allowing Wang to lead the talks. In short, the scheme aimed to save face for Konoe.   Dong returned to Hong Kong and delivered the proposal to Gao Zongwu, who had been stationed there since February under Chiang's orders to oversee intelligence and liaison with Japan. Luo Junqiang, Gao's contact, testified that Gao was paid monthly from Chiang's secret military fund. Gao went back to Hankou twice, on April 2 and May 30. On the second trip, he personally conveyed Japan's terms to Chiang. Gao later admitted that Chiang never gave him explicit instructions, but rather cultivated an impression of tacit approval. At no point did Gao view the deal as Chiang's betrayal. As long as Chiang retained control of the military, Wang's leadership could only be nominal and temporary. Unbeknownst to Wang, Gao's personal ties to Chiang remained hidden from him; he learned of them only through Zhou Fohai. Startled, he handed the information to Chiang Kai-shek and told Tao Xisheng: "I cannot broker peace with Japan alone. I will not deceive Mr. Chiang." Given Tao's later departure from Wang's circle to rejoin Chiang, Tao's recollection could be trusted.   Two months later, Wang left Chongqing to pursue a peace settlement. A key factor may have been persistent lobbying by Zhou, Gao, Mei, Tao, and especially his wife Chen Bijun. Luo Junqiang recalled that Kong Xiangxi objected that Gao acted without him, prompting Chiang to order Gao to halt his covert efforts, an order Gao ignored. Gao and Mei Siping continued to press for a deal. Gao even spent three weeks in Japan in July, holding extensive talks with Kagesa Sadaaki and Imai Takeo. Their discussions produced the first substantive articulation of the Wang peace movement as a Sino-Japanese plot to end the "China incident." On November 26, Mei flew from Hong Kong to Chongqing with a draft of Japan's terms and Konoe's planned announcement. The proposal stated that the Japanese army would withdraw completely within two years once peace was reached, but it demanded that China formally recognize Manchukuo. Wang was to leave Chongqing for Kunming by December 5, then proceed to Hanoi. Upon Japan receiving news of his arrival in Hanoi, the telegram would reveal the peace terms. This pivotal moment threw Wang into intense inner turmoil. Zhou Fohai visited Wang daily, and Wang delayed decisively each time, much to Zhou's frustration. Ultimately, it seemed that Chen Bijun rendered the final judgment on Wang's behalf. As in earlier episodes, Wang found himself trapped by an idealized image of himself held by family, followers, and loyalists, seen by them as a larger-than-life figure who must undertake a mission too grand to fail.   Yet Wang's stance was not purely involuntary. As Imai Takeo noted, he fundamentally disagreed with Chiang's strategy of resistance. The so-called scorched-earth approach caused immense suffering. Three episodes stood out: the 1938 Yellow River flood, ordered by Chiang to impede Japan's advance, which destroyed dikes and displaced millions, yielding devastating agricultural and humanitarian consequences; the subsequent epidemics and famine that followed, producing about two million refugees and up to nine hundred thousand deaths, while failing to stop the Japanese advance toward Wuhan (which fell in October); and the Changsha fire, ignited in the early hours of November 13, which killed nearly thirty thousand people and devastated most of the city. These events sharpened Wang's doubts about Chiang's defense strategy, especially its reckless execution and cruelty. By late November, Wang began to openly challenge Chiang's approach, delivering a series of speeches advocating his own war-weariness and preference for limiting resistance to preserve national strength for future counterstrikes. He argued that guerrilla warfare burdened the people and wasted national resources that could be saved for a later, more effective defense. He urged soldiers to exercise judgment and listen to their consciences, and he attributed much of the civilian suffering to the Communists; nonetheless, with General von Falkenhausen, Chiang's German adviser, now urging a shift toward smaller-unit mobile warfare, Wang's critique of Chiang's strategy took on a more pointed, risksome tone. If resistance equaled total sacrifice, Wang was not prepared to endorse it. As Margherita Zanasi noted, Wang Jingwei and Chen Gongbo had long shared a vision of a self-consciously anti-imperial "national economy", the belief that China's economy had not yet achieved genuine nation-power and that compromising with the foe might be necessary to save the national economy.   Wang and Zhou also worried that continuing resistance would strengthen the Communists and that genuine international aid would not arrive, at least not soon. After Nazi Germany occupied Czechoslovakia, Wang briefly hoped for the formation of an antifascist democratic alliance. Yet the Munich Agreement disappointed him. Viewing Western democracies as culturally imperialist, he doubted they would jeopardize their relations with Japan, another imperial power, on China's behalf. This view was reinforced by Zhou Fohai and other China specialists who had recently joined Wang's circle; they argued that China would fall unless the international situation shifted dramatically. Their forecast would prove accurate only after Pearl Harbor.   In the end, Wang longed for decisive action. He had been sidelined since the government's move to Wuhan. At the GMD Provisional National Congress in Hankou (March 29–April 1), the party resolved to restore Chiang Kai-shek to near-total control by reasserting the authoritarian zongcai system. The Congress also established the People's Political Council as a nominal nod to democracy, but it remained largely consultative. Wang was elected deputy director and chairman of the council, yet he clearly resented the position. Jiang Tingfu described Wang's Hankou mood as "somewhat resentful," recognizing the role as largely ceremonial. More optimistic observers attributed his dismay to the return of dictatorship, and he likely felt increasingly useless. Since the Mukden Incident, Wang had prioritized party unity and been content to play a secondary role to Chiang, but inaction did not fit his sense of historical purpose. It was Zhou Fohai who urged Wang to risk his reputation for a greater cause, presenting a calculated nudge to someone susceptible to idealism. A longing to find meaning through action may have finally pushed him toward a fateful decision. As Chen Bijun bluntly told Long Yun, her husband "was merely an empty shell in Chongqing and could contribute nothing to the country; thus he wanted to change his surroundings."   Wang considered staying abroad as a serious option amid the Hanoi uncertainty. Gao Zongwu had previously told Japanese negotiators that if Konoe's stance did not satisfy Wang, he might head to France. Chongqing echoed this possibility. On December 29, Ambassador Guo Taiqi, acting on Chiang's orders, telegraphed Wang suggesting he go to Europe "to take a break." It would have offered a graceful exit. Kagesa recommended Hanoi as Wang Jingwei's midway station because, as a French colony, it offered a relatively safe environment. Only the French were armed there, and several members of the extended Wang family had grown up in France, enabling them to communicate with the colonial authorities.   After Wang departed for Hanoi, Long Yun hesitated for weeks. On December 20, he telegraphed Chiang, saying Wang had paused in Kunming on the way to Hanoi to seek medical treatment. Knowing this was untrue, Chiang replied on December 27 with a stern warning about Japan's unreliability, a message that appeared to have persuaded Long. A day later, Long urged leniency for Wang. Following Wang's publication of the "yan telegram," public anger likely pushed Long toward a final decision. On January 6, he informed Chiang of a letter from Wang delivered by Chen Changzu, and he noted that the Wangs were considering the French option, but recommended allowing Wang to return to Chongqing to show leniency and to enable surveillance.   Chiang replied two days later that Wang would be better off going to Europe. The extended Wang family resided in two Western-style mansions at 25 and 27 Rue Riz Marché, surrounded by high walls. On February 15, Chongqing's envoy Gu Zhengding brought their passports to Hanoi. Accounts differed on what happened next. One version had Wang offering to travel abroad if Chongqing accepted his proposal to start peace talks; if Chongqing remained indecisive, he would return to voice his dissent. Another version claimed Gu's primary task was to bring Wang back to Chongqing, which Wang declined, preferring France.   Although the French option was gaining favor, the Wang circle continued to explore other avenues. In early 1939, secret contacts with the Japanese government persisted, though not always in a coordinated way. Chiang's intelligence advised that the Wang group was forming networks in Shanghai and especially Hong Kong, with Gao Zongwu playing a central role. On February 1, Gao returned from Hong Kong and stayed for five days, finding Wang in a despondent mood. Wang asked Gao to pass along a few letters to Japanese leaders urging the creation of a unified Chinese government to earn the Chinese people's understanding and trust. Wang believed his actions would serve the best interests of both China and Japan. On March 18, the Japanese consulate in Hong Kong informed Gao that funding for the Wang group would come from China's customs revenues that Japan had seized.   Meanwhile, Chiang Kai-shek sensed a shift in the war's direction. On February 10, Japan seized Hainan, China's southernmost major island. The next day, Chiang held a press conference describing the development as "the Mukden Incident of the Pacific." He warned that Japan's ambitions could threaten British and French colonial interests and U.S. maritime supremacy. Gao Zongwu read the speech and concluded that Chiang's outlook had brightened.   For three months, the Wang circle met frequently to weigh options. The prominent writer and scholar Zhou Zuoren, who had already accepted a collaborationist post as head of the Beiping library, warned Tao Xisheng, saying "Don't do it," signaling his misgivings about collaborating with Japan based on his reading of Japanese politics. As Zhou observed, many young Japanese militarists did not even respect General Ugaki, let alone a foreign leader.   Then the assassination of Zeng Zhongming, Wang's secretary and protégé, abruptly altered the meaning of Wang's mission. The Wang group was deeply unsettled by Zeng Zhongming's assassination. The event came as a shock. On March 20, Gu Zhengding's second Hanoi visit concluded. Allegedly Gu delivered passports and funds for a European excursion. On a bright spring day, the entire Wang family enjoyed a lighthearted outing to Three Peaches Beach, only to be halted by a French officer who warned they were being followed. During their afternoon rest, a man posing as a painter, sent by the landlord to measure rooms for payment, appeared at the door and was turned away when he insisted on entering every room. More than twenty people in the household, none were armed.   Since January, Hanoi had been a hive of BIS activity. The ringleader was Chen Gongshu, a veteran operative under spymaster Dai Li, though Chen's recollections clashed with those of other witnesses, leaving the exact sequence unclear. Chen claimed their role was intelligence and surveillance until March 19, when an unsigned telegram from Dai Li ordered, "Severest punishment to the traitor Wang Jingwei, immediately!" The mission supposedly shifted. The Wang family was followed the next day but evaded capture in traffic, prompting a raid on the house. Reports varied: some said Wang resided on the second floor of No. 27; others suggested he lived in No. 25, with No. 27 used for day guests. The force entered the courtyard, forced open the door to Wang's room, and a getaway car waited outside. Chen, in the car, heard gunshots: initial shots toward a downstairs figure, then three shots through a bedroom door hacked open with an axe, aimed at a figure beneath the bed, believed to be Wang Jingwei. The team drove off after four to five minutes. Vietnamese police soon detained three killers who lingered in the courtyard and even listened in on a hospital call. Chen didn't realize the target had been misidentified until the next afternoon. Some BIS records suggested Wang and Zeng Zhongming had swapped bedrooms that night, a detail Chen doubted. Chen did not mention a painter's earlier visit.   There were competing accounts of the event with their numerous inconsistencies that fueled conspiracy theories. Jin Xiongbai outlined three possibilities: (1) the killers killed the "wrong person" as a warning to Wang Jingwei; (2) they killed Zeng to provoke Wang toward collaboration; or (3) the episode was always part of a broader Chiang-Wang collaboration plan.   In any case, Dai Li showed unusual leniency toward Chen Gongshu, who was never punished and later led the Shanghai station. After Dai Li's agent Li Shiqun was captured in 1941, Li not only spared Chen's life but recruited him on a double-agent basis for the remainder of the war, with Chen retiring to Taiwan. Chiang Kai-shek never discussed the case publicly or in his diary, and his silence was perhaps the strongest indication that he ordered the killing.   I would like to take this time to remind you all that this podcast is only made possible through the efforts of Kings and Generals over at Youtube.

Wang Jingwei, once a key figure in China's resistance against Japan, grew disillusioned with Chiang Kai-shek's scorched-earth tactics during the Second Sino-Japanese War. Amid devastating events like the Yellow River flood and Changsha fire, which caused immense civilian suffering, Wang joined a peace faction advocating negotiation. Secret talks with Japanese officials led to his defection in 1938. He fled Chongqing to Hanoi, where an assassination attempt, likely ordered by Chiang, killed his secretary Zeng Zhongming instead.

What happens when everyone can build, but no one breaks through the noise?In this episode of Supra Insider, Ben Erez sits down with Elan Miller, founder and CEO of branding and design studio Off-Menu, for the podcast's first live in-person recording. Elan unpacks why this moment is uniquely challenging for brand storytelling—AI has made it easier than ever to build and ship products, but harder than ever to get people to care. He explains how the standard tech playbook (great product + clever go-to-market) no longer works when 10 competitors can copy you within a month, and why honorable points of view are the only sustainable moat.They explore Anthropic's Keep Thinking campaign and Super Bowl ads as a masterclass in positioning against OpenAI, discuss why successful positioning must repel people as much as it resonates, and unpack the Granola rebrand (including Ben's honest reaction as a customer). Elan shares why most rebrands fail (visual makeover without moving anything forward), the different reasons companies should rebrand (talent attraction, internal alignment, crossing the chasm), and his process for finding the “holy s**t insight” that makes people feel seen. Plus, how he's building AI tools that turn brand strategy into practical inputs for higher-quality outputs, and why strong point of view is the antidote to slop.If you're building in a crowded space and struggling to stand out, wondering whether a rebrand is the right move, or trying to articulate what makes you different in a way that actually resonates—this episode is for you.All episodes of the podcast are also available on Spotify, Apple and YouTube.New to the pod?

Ebru Kaya (⁠LI⁠) and André Stürmer (⁠LI⁠) founders of both ⁠RIA⁠ and ⁠Atreyu ⁠came by the podcast for a deepdive into regenerative investing. Not just investing in regenerative companies but what it means to invest regeneratively. We speak of profit, the position, role and stance of the investor, the experiences Ebru and André have made in their long experience as well as their learning edge. We speak of how everyone is an investor and the relationship between a company and it's field or ecology - and why it makes sense to focus both on the health of a company and it's surroundings. This is a wonderful conversation that really highlights the difference between impact and regenerative investing. Enjoy!

Leadership carries weight—and when alignment is off, the cost multiplies. In this episode of The Estherpreneur Podcast, we explore a critical truth many leaders overlook:Authority doesn't just amplify impact—it also amplifies error.Drawing from Leviticus 4, we examine how Scripture differentiates between the unintentional missteps of individuals, communities, and leaders and why the weight of responsibility increases with influence. God's standard for leadership isn't about shame or condemnation. It's about governance, alignment, and the stewardship of what He's entrusted to you.If you've been navigating subtle unrest in your business or team—loss of peace, scattered clarity, or stagnation in growth—this conversation will help you identify where the drift began and how to realign with grace.Kingdom leadership doesn't demand perfection.But it does require the courage to recalibrate—before cracks become collapses.If this episode stirred something in you, it's time to take the next step. Join my Business Unlimited Group Mentoring Program—a Christ-centered community where we fast, pray, plan, and build together with prophetic precision and practical strategies.

For decades, tree planting and forestry have been pivotal to Chinese environmentalism. During the Mao era, while forests were razed to fuel rapid increases in industrial production, the “Greening the Motherland” campaign promoted conservationist tree-planting nationwide. Contested Environmentalisms explores the seemingly contradictory rhetoric and desires of Chinese conservation from the early twentieth century through to the present. Drawing on literary, cinematic, scientific, archival, and digital media sources, Cheng Li investigates the emergence, evolution, and devolution of Chinese conservationist ideas. Combining literary, historical, and environmental studies approaches, he shows that these ideas acquired their value and assumed their power precisely because of their malleability and adaptability.

Examining ethnic borderlands, the Beijing political center, and China's growth on the world stage, this book demonstrates the strength of Chinese environmentalism to adapt and survive through tumultuous change lies in what seems to be a weakness: its inconsistency and contestation.

What if your computer didn't need a screen in front of you to get work done? That's the shift Ben Guo, co-founder of Zo, is building toward, and this conversation gets into the specifics of what that actually looks like day to day.In this episode of Supra Insider, Marc Baselga and Ben Erez sit down with Ben Guo to explore Zo: a personal cloud computer with built-in AI agents, file storage, scheduled tasks, and the ability to receive commands over text or email. Together, they unpack how Zo differs from the OpenClaw movement and why Ben thinks the personal cloud becomes a device category everyone eventually owns.The conversation goes deep on how the Zo team actually builds software: writing AI-generated markdown plans before touching any code, reviewing those plans as GitHub PRs, and largely abandoning the traditional to-do backlog in favor of just prompting something and letting it run. They also get into the real overhead that comes with this new way of working, including context management, delegation judgment, and figuring out what belongs where.All episodes of the podcast are also available on Spotify, Apple and YouTube.New to the pod?

In this conversation, host Julie DeNofa sits down with Kathy Posey, Paige Butler, and Kim Robbins, three inspiring women serving on the Montgomery County Overdose Prevention Endeavor Board (M-COPE) Kathy and Kim, Co-Founders of M-COPE, share their personal stories of losing a child to addiction and how, after four moms met through the GRASP grief group ( Grief Recovery After Substance Passing) after losing their children to accidental overdose, they realized the need for spreading awareness around the disease of addiction.  Paige also shares her journey through a different perspective of loving a child who is now in recovery from substance use disorder. With their stories, Kathy, Paige, and Kim are now turning their pain into purpose in helping other families heal.  The mission at M-COPE is to collaborate with individuals, communities, schools, and organizations to raise awareness about substance use disorder and the alarming rise in overdose and drug-related deaths in Montgomery County and surrounding areas. Their efforts are grounded in four key pillars: education, awareness, prevention, and remembrance.   Through this approach, they shine a light on the growing drug crisis, work to end the stigma surrounding substance use, and advocate for those currently in need of support as well as for those who can no longer speak for themselves.  Topics Discussed: Advice for parents and families learning to navigate grief after overdose loss The importance of remembering loved ones beyond their addiction Recognizing that everyone grieves differently and giving others more grace Understanding emotional triggers and grief waves after loss Why volunteer-driven organizations play a critical role in community recovery How overdose awareness and prevention efforts are helping communities — CHAPTERS:  00:00 Purpose From Pain - Introduction to MCOPE 03:33 Meet Kathy Posey, Kim Robbins, and Paige Bulter 08:04 What M-Cope is and the Four Pillars: Awareness, Prevention, Education, and Rememberance 11:06 Volunteering, Community Partners, and Supporting Newly Bereaved 15:39 Grief Advice For Families: Connection, Caregiving, Healing, and Support  23:10 Recognizing Grief Waves and Triggers and Finding Joy Again 28:47 Honoring Loved Ones Who Lost Their Lives to Addiction 30:39 The Hope of Recovery  33:52 M-COPE Outreach through Blessing Bags, Narcan Outreach, Scholarships And Community Impact 39:11 Recovery Community Resources — Connect with M-Cope online:  Website: https://mcope.org/  Scholarship: https://mcope.org/scholarship/  Volunteer Opportunities: https://mcope.org/support/#volunteer  Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/mocope/?ref=share&mibextid=wwXIfr&rdid=SDyLMs2NFChqDsne&share_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fshare%2Fg%2F1DCtwm4WSp%2F%3Fmibextid%3DwwXIfr — Connect with PRC on Social: IG: https://www.instagram.com/positiverecoverycenters  FB: https://www.facebook.com/PositiveRecoveryCenters  TT: https://www.tiktok.com/@positiverecoverycenter  LI: https://www.linkedin.com/company/positiverecoverycenters  YT: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4JcDF1gjlYch4V4iBbCgZg Want even more expert insights and support on the recovery journey?

We love a good “never quit” mantra. Hustle. Grind. Push through. Stay committed. But what if the bravest move isn't doubling down… it's pivoting? In this episode of This Is Woman's Work, Nicole Kalil sits down with Melissa Gonzalez — principal at MG2, shareholder at Collier's Engineering and Design, founder of The Lioness Group, and author of The Purpose of Pivot: How Dynamic Leaders Put Vulnerability and Intuition into Action — to unpack one of the hardest leadership and life questions: How do you know when it's time to pivot? Because staying the course can be grit… or it can be self-betrayal.And pivoting can be courage… or it can be avoidance. The line? Blurry as hell. Together, they explore how to tell the difference between fear and intuition, discomfort and misalignment, commitment and stuckness — and how to make intentional, purpose-driven decisions without blowing up your entire life (unless you actually need to). They explore: The physical and emotional signs it's time to pivot How to run an “energy audit” to see what fuels vs. drains you The difference between purposeful change and running away Why clarity about your purpose makes decisions easier How to stop letting other people's opinions drive your choices Because pivoting doesn't require certainty. It requires discernment. And staying isn't noble if it's shrinking you. The goal isn't to get it perfect. It's to stay in relationship with yourself while you decide. Thank you to our sponsors!

Quantum entanglement? Time traveling information? What is behind the phenomenon of precognitive dreaming? Meet astrophysicist, oneironaut, and author Paul Kalas, who argues that precognition is naturally selected for because of its unmistakable evolutionary advantage. Paul Kalas explains that precognitive dreams are dreams that appear to contain information about future events. Paul introduces the concept of the “Oneironaut” (a dream traveler) and draws from his personal archive of more than 300 recorded precognitive dreams. The discussion spans personal anecdotes, neuroscience, evolutionary theory, and physics—particularly quantum mechanics and the many‑worlds interpretation. Kalas describes how some dreams feel “unmistakably precognitive” due to the sense of surprise and improbability felt within the dream and shares a childhood dream involving an unusual phrase that was later spoken verbatim, and a detailed dream sketch that matched a real astronomical discovery nine years later (the offset debris disk around the star Fomalhaut). The episode also explores the possible evolutionary value of precognition, suggesting dreams may “prime” individuals for future learning or decision‑making. Kalas proposes that information may travel backward in time—from future selves to past selves—rather than consciousness traveling forward. The conversation touches on déjà vu as a possible memory of forgotten dreams, the importance of novel environments, and practical advice for cultivating dream recall through journaling. Finally, the discussion turns to the future: how large‑scale dream recording, AI analysis, and neuroscience might one day allow collective patterns in dreams to be identified, potentially offering early insight into future events. 00:00 – Welcome & Can Dreams Really Predict the Future? Katherine Bell opens the show and introduces astronomer Paul Kalas and the topic of precognitive dreaming. 05:00 – So… What Is a Precognitive Dream? What makes some dreams feel different — vivid, specific, and strangely tied to future events and evoking a sense of curiosity even within the dream. 10:00 – A Dream Phrase That Came True Paul shares a childhood dream involving a bizarre phrase that later appeared in real life. 15:00 – Déjà Vu: Have You Dreamed This Before? How déjà vu may come from forgotten dreams — why some moments feel uncannily familiar. 20:00 – Why Would Humans Have Precognitive Dreams? Exploring evolution, learning, and how future information might quietly guide us. 25:00 – When a Dream Matches a Scientific Discovery A remarkable story of a dream sketch that later matched an astronomical breakthrough. 30:00 – Time Travel, Parallel Lives, and Changing Outcomes Could information flow backward in time? A deep dive into many‑worlds and alternate timelines. 35:00 – Listener Question: Is This All Just Interpretation? An audience question sparks discussion about science, skepticism, and testable ideas. 40:00 – AI, Brain Science, and Reading Dreams What neuroscience and artificial intelligence might reveal about dreams — and the future. 48:00 – How to Work With Your Own Dreams + Final Thoughts Practical advice on dream journaling, recognizing meaningful dreams, and closing reflections. AI, Brain Recording, and the Future of Dream Research (00:50:53) BIO: Dr. Paul Kalas is an accomplished astronomer at UC Berkeley who searches for undiscovered planets among the billions of stars in our galaxy. In his book The Oneironauts he documents more than 300 precognitive dreams, explores alternate explanations, describes connections to neuroscience, physics, and evolution, discusses the significance for the individual, and foretells the future impact on humanity.

Veterinary careers rarely unfold according to plan. They evolve through opportunity, relationships, timing — and often through saying yes before we feel fully ready. In this episode of Choose People Love Pets, Dr. Gary Marshall — practice owner, feline-focused entrepreneur, and longtime contributor to organized veterinary medicine — reflects on the winding path of a decades-long career. From building “Cat Class” for students across six continents to navigating leadership roles and professional transitions, Gary shares what saying yes created… and what it cost. This conversation explores: The hidden trade-offs of opportunity The cost of always saying yes — and the cost of always saying no Loneliness in leadership, even in rooms full of thousands Why customer service will matter more in a shifting economic landscape What younger generations are teaching the profession about agency How culture moves from philosophy to business infrastructure As veterinary medicine moves out of survival mode and into a more uncertain market environment, the question isn't just how to grow — but how to evolve. This episode is about discernment, relevance, and building a career that reflects who you are — not just the titles you collect.  Key Takeaways • Saying yes can shape your career in ways you can't predict — but every yes carries a cost. • Guarding boundaries is important, but rigidity can limit growth. • Leadership can be deeply lonely — belonging requires intention. • Culture isn't soft — it's structural to retention, client trust, and financial resilience. • Economic shifts will reward practices that never stopped prioritizing experience. • Younger veterinarians are modeling agency — and the profession is evolving because of it.  About Dr. Gary Marshall Dr. Gary Marshall is a veterinary practice owner and longtime leader in organized veterinary medicine. Over the course of his career, he has contributed to professional organizations, mentored students across the globe through “Cat Class,” and built a feline-focused practice aligned with his values and vision for modern veterinary care. Email: gmarshall@avma.orgLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/garymarshalldvm/ Instagram: @it.might.get.weird  Podcast: It Might Get Weird: Journeys In Veterinary Medicine Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/3nzCLsF3xiIGeytyp8qDJW?si=08e194c78287445f Itmightgetweird.buzzsprout.com  Follow CPLP Podcast for more:  FB: ⁠https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61556480229406&mibextid=LQQJ4d⁠  IG: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/choosepeoplelovepets?igsh=MTVzZjc4ZHE4MWd2NQ%3D%3D&utm_source=qr⁠  LI: ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/company/choose-people-love-pets/⁠

What does it take to go from “1 out of 10 chance we hit 100 episodes” to actually getting there?In this special milestone episode, Marc Baselga and Ben Erez reflect on reaching 100 episodes of Supra Insider. They share the raw truth about early imposter syndrome—having a Google Doc with pre-written questions, worrying about sounding stupid, focusing more on optics than enjoyment. They discuss the key turning points that made the podcast sustainable: bringing in an editor (reducing their workload from 6-8 hours per week to just recording), stopping the intro recordings, and setting fixed “sacred” time slots that never move.They explore what they've learned about guest selection (intuition-based, not heavily strategic), the tension between timeless vs. timely content, and what successful podcasts have in common—regardless of format. Whether it's Acquired (catalog value, timeless deep dives) or TBPN (daily, day-of relevant), the common thread is two co-hosts who genuinely enjoy each other, are obsessed with making it better over time, stay authentic, and avoid inorganic pressures that force the show to be something it isn't.If you're thinking about starting a podcast, struggling to make one sustainable, or wondering how to build something meaningful that fits your life—this episode is for you.All episodes of the podcast are also available on Spotify, Apple and YouTube.New to the pod?

"Ieri mi sono mangiato una pizza gigante e poi mi sono bevuto una birra ghiacciata!" Ti sembra una frase strana? In realtà, quando un italiano dice "mi sono bevuto un caffè" invece di "ho bevuto un caffè", non sta sbagliando: sta usando una struttura chiamata uso pronominale affettivo dei verbi transitivi. Ne parliamo in dettaglio in questo articolo. "Mi Sono Mangiato una Pizza": Come Usare i PRONOMI con i Verbi Transitivi Cos'è un Verbo Transitivo? Le Basi Fondamentali Prima di addentrarci nell'argomento principale, è essenziale fare un piccolo ripasso. Un verbo transitivo è un verbo che può avere un oggetto diretto. Ma cos'è l'oggetto diretto? È un elemento della frase che completa il significato del verbo, rispondendo alla domanda "che cosa?" o "chi?", e si collega al verbo senza preposizione. Ecco degli esempi concreti: "Marco mangia una mela." → Mangia che cosa? Una mela. (oggetto diretto) "Lucia legge un libro." → Legge che cosa? Un libro. (oggetto diretto) "Ho incontrato Maria." → Ho incontrato chi? Maria. (oggetto diretto) L'oggetto diretto, chiamato anche complemento oggetto, è fondamentale per capire l'argomento di oggi. Esiste una regola che ogni studente di italiano impara molto presto: quando un verbo transitivo ha un oggetto diretto, nei tempi composti si usa l'ausiliare AVERE. Quindi normalmente dici: Ho mangiato una pizza. Ho bevuto un caffè. Ho guardato un film. Ho letto un articolo. Tutto perfettamente regolare. Ma poi succede qualcosa di inaspettato. Il Mistero dei Pronomi "Superflui": I Pronomi Pleonastici Nella vita reale, senti gli italiani dire frasi come queste: "Mi sono mangiata una pizza incredibile!" "Ti sei bevuto tutto il vino?" "Ieri sera ci siamo guardati un film bellissimo." "Marco si è letto tutto il giornale a colazione." Ma come? C'è l'oggetto diretto... e l'ausiliare è essere? E quei pronomi (mi, ti, ci, si)... a cosa servono? Questi pronomi si chiamano pronomi pleonastici. La parola "pleonastico" deriva dal greco pleonasmós, che significa "eccesso, sovrabbondanza". In grammatica, un elemento pleonastico è qualcosa che, dal punto di vista strettamente logico, sembra superfluo, non necessario. Ma attenzione: "apparentemente superfluo" non significa "inutile"! In italiano, questi pronomi hanno una funzione comunicativa molto importante. A Cosa Servono Questi Pronomi? Le Funzioni Comunicative Quando aggiungi un pronome personale a un verbo transitivo, stai comunicando qualcosa di più rispetto alla frase "neutra". Stai aggiungendo diverse sfumature di significato: Coinvolgimento emotivo – Il soggetto non è un semplice "esecutore" dell'azione, ma è emotivamente partecipe. Partecipazione intensa – L'azione viene percepita come più personale, più vissuta. Valore affettivo – Può essere positivo (piacere, soddisfazione, godimento) o negativo (fastidio, disapprovazione, rammarico). Registro informale – Questa costruzione è tipica della lingua parlata, colloquiale, quotidiana. In termini tecnici, possiamo dire che il soggetto della frase diventa sia l'agente dell'azione (colui che compie l'azione) sia il beneficiario o il destinatario dell'azione stessa. È come se il soggetto facesse qualcosa a proprio vantaggio (o svantaggio). Confronto tra Frasi Neutre e Frasi Affettive Frase Neutra (Informativa)Frase con Pronome (Affettiva)Ho mangiato una torta.Mi sono mangiato una torta!Abbiamo fatto una passeggiata.Ci siamo fatti una bella passeggiata!Ha bevuto tre birre.Si è bevuto tre birre!Ho letto un libro interessante.Mi sono letto un libro interessante!Hanno guardato un film.Si sono guardati un film! Nella prima colonna, le frasi sono grammaticalmente corrette ma fredde, distaccate, semplicemente informative. Comunicano un fatto, punto. Nella seconda colonna, invece, c'è emozione! C'è il piacere di mangiare quella torta, la soddisfazione di quella passeggiata, lo stupore (o la disapprovazione) per quelle tre birre. Il parlante vuole comunicare non solo cosa è successo, ma anche come l'ha vissuto. Positivo o Negativo? Dipende dal Contesto Attenzione: il coinvolgimento emotivo espresso da questa costruzione non è sempre positivo. Può indicare sia un'esperienza piacevole sia un'esperienza spiacevole. Senso Positivo (Piacere, Soddisfazione, Godimento) "Mi sono gustato un tiramisù fantastico!" → L'ho apprezzato tantissimo. "Ci siamo fatti una vacanza meravigliosa!" → Una bella esperienza, ne abbiamo beneficiato. "Mi sono letto un romanzo bellissimo in tre giorni." → È stato un piacere leggerlo. Senso Negativo (Fastidio, Disapprovazione, Conseguenze Negative) "Mi sono dovuto sorbire due ore di riunione inutile!" → Una vera tortura. "Si è bevuto tutti i suoi risparmi al casinò." → Li ha sprecati, un disastro. "Si è fumato venti sigarette in un giorno." → Disapprovazione per l'eccesso. Il contesto della conversazione e il tono di voce ti aiuteranno sempre a capire se l'emozione espressa è positiva o negativa. I Verbi Più Comuni con l'Uso Pronominale Affettivo Questa costruzione pronominale affettiva si usa soprattutto con alcune categorie specifiche di verbi. Verbi Legati al Cibo e alle Bevande Sono i più frequenti. Mangiare, bere e simili sono azioni che coinvolgono direttamente il nostro corpo e il nostro piacere, quindi è naturale esprimere coinvolgimento emotivo: mangiarsi → "Mi sono mangiato un piatto di spaghetti gigante." bersi → "Ti sei bevuta tutta la bottiglia da sola?" gustarsi → "Ci siamo gustati un aperitivo al tramonto." prendersi → "Mi sono preso un dolcetto dopo pranzo." Verbi Legati ai Sensi e all'Intrattenimento Anche le attività legate al piacere sensoriale e all'intrattenimento sono adatte a questa costruzione: guardarsi → "Mi sono guardato tre episodi di fila della mia serie preferita." vedersi → "Vi siete visti quel documentario di cui parlano tutti?" leggersi → "Si è letto il libro in una sola notte, non riusciva a smettere." ascoltarsi → "Mi sono ascoltato tutto l'album nuovo mentre cucinavo." Il Verbo FARE: Il Re di Questa Categoria Il verbo fare è incredibilmente versatile in italiano e con questa costruzione pronominale si usa moltissimo: farsi una passeggiata → "Ci siamo fatti una bella passeggiata lungo il fiume." farsi una doccia/un bagno → "Mi sono fatto una doccia lunghissima e rilassante." farsi due/quattro risate → "Vi siete fatti due risate con quella commedia?" farsi un viaggio → "Si sono fatti un viaggio incredibile in Sudamerica." farsi un pisolino → "Mi sono fatto un pisolino pomeridiano rigenerante." farsi un'idea → "Mi sono fatto un'idea abbastanza chiara della situazione." Le Regole Grammaticali Fondamentali Quando usi questa costruzione, ci sono alcune regole grammaticali importanti da tenere a mente. Regola 1: Ausiliare ESSERE (non AVERE) Anche se il verbo è transitivo e ha un oggetto diretto, quando aggiungi il pronome pleonastico l'ausiliare diventa ESSERE: "Ho mangiato una pizza." → "Mi sono mangiato una pizza." "Abbiamo guardato un film." → "Ci siamo guardati un film." Regola 2: Accordo del Participio Passato con il Soggetto Con l'ausiliare essere, il participio passato si accorda in genere e numero con il soggetto: SoggettoEsempioIo (uomo)Mi sono mangiato una pizza.Io (donna)Mi sono mangiata una pizza.Tu (uomo)Ti sei bevuto un caffè.Tu (donna)Ti sei bevuta un caffè.LuiSi è guardato un film.LeiSi è guardata un film.Noi (uomini/misto)Ci siamo fatti una passeggiata.Noi (donne)Ci siamo fatte una passeggiata.Voi (uomini/misto)Vi siete letti quel libro?Voi (donne)Vi siete lette quel libro?Loro (uomini/misto)Si sono comprati una casa nuova.Loro (donne)Si sono comprate una casa nuova. Regola 3: I Pronomi da Usare I pronomi usati sono i pronomi riflessivi: PersonaPronomeIomiTutiLui/LeisiNoiciVoiviLorosi La Relazione con i Verbi Riflessivi A questo punto, forse ti starai chiedendo: "Ma questi verbi sono verbi riflessivi?" I verbi riflessivi propri (o "riflessivi diretti") sono quei verbi in cui il soggetto e l'oggetto coincidono. Il soggetto compie un'azione su sé stesso: "Mi lavo." = Io lavo me stesso. "Ti vesti." = Tu vesti te stesso/a. "Si pettina." = Lei pettina sé stessa. In questi casi, il pronome (mi, ti, si...) rappresenta l'oggetto diretto, che è la stessa persona del soggetto. Ma nella costruzione che stiamo studiando oggi, le cose sono diverse: "Mi sono mangiato una pizza." Qui il soggetto è "io", ma l'oggetto diretto è "una pizza" (non "me stesso"). Quindi non è un riflessivo proprio. Questa costruzione viene chiamata in vari modi dai linguisti: Riflessivo apparente o riflessivo indiretto Uso pronominale intensivo o affettivo Qualunque sia il nome tecnico, la cosa importante da ricordare è questa: il pronome non indica che l'azione ricade sul soggetto, ma che il soggetto è emotivamente coinvolto nell'azione o che ne trae vantaggio/svantaggio. È come se il pronome significasse "a mio vantaggio", "per me", "per il mio piacere": "Mi sono mangiato una pizza" ≈ "Ho mangiato una pizza (per il mio piacere/godimento)" "Ci siamo fatti una passeggiata" ≈ "Abbiamo fatto una passeggiata (per il nostro piacere)" Quando il Pronome è Obbligatorio (Non Facoltativo) Finora abbiamo visto casi in cui il pronome è facoltativo: puoi aggiungerlo per esprimere coinvolgimento emotivo, oppure puoi ometterlo per una frase più neutra. Tuttavia, esistono situazioni in italiano in cui il pronome è obbligatorio. Non puoi ometterlo senza che la frase suoni strana o innaturale. Caso A: Quando l'Oggetto è una Parte del Corpo del Soggetto Quando l'oggetto diretto indica una parte del corpo appartenente al soggetto,

Từ Tehran đến Đài Bắc, những vòng xoáy xung đột tại Iran và chiến dịch tại Venezuela đang vẽ lại toàn diện bản đồ địa chính trị thế giới. Khi Ngũ Giác Đài gia tăng áp lực quân sự, chuỗi cung ứng năng lượng và mạng lưới ảnh hưởng của Bắc Kinh bị lung lay dữ dội.

Cùng Xuân Ngọc và Nguyễn Tuân phân tích những hệ lụy dài hạn này.

Hot flashes. Brain fog. Sleepless nights. For too long, we've mislabeled midlife women's health as burnout, anxiety, or a loss of ambition. But what if the real issue isn't performance — it's hormones? In this episode of Hello Monday, Jessi Hempel talks with Joanna Strober, founder and CEO of Midi Health, about menopause, perimenopause, hormone therapy, and power at work. Together, they unpack how gaps in women's healthcare during midlife are quietly pushing talented leaders out of the workforce at the exact moment they should be accelerating. After struggling to get proper treatment for her own perimenopause symptoms, Joanna built Midi Health to deliver insurance-covered, expert virtual care focused on women in midlife. This conversation goes beyond hot flashes — it's about workplace equity, hormone replacement therapy (HRT), ageism, health misdiagnoses, and why normalizing menopause could unlock a generation of leadership. Because menopause isn't a road bump, with the right care, it can be a power surge. Jessi and Joanna discuss: The difference between perimenopause and menopause, and why the distinction matters for women's health at work Why 1 in 5 women in their 40s are prescribed SSRIs — and how hormonal shifts are often overlooked Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and non-hormonal menopause treatments The workplace impact of untreated menopause symptoms, including research showing women may lose authority during visible symptoms like hot flashes How employers can support midlife women through better insurance coverage  Ageism in the workplace — and why women in their 50s may be primed for peak performance How normalizing menopause conversations can help women reclaim power Follow Joanna Strober and Jessi Hempel on LinkedIn.
