Podcasts about netizens

主播：Flora (中国) + 梅莉 (法国) 片头音乐：阳光彩虹小白马 片尾音乐：Kung Fu FightingNowadays, internet celebrities (网红) are very common. 但是今天介绍给大家的是最近火到出圈的——IShowSpeed！也就是网友口中的“甲亢哥”！01. Who is “甲亢哥” ? 他是谁？Speed (“甲亢哥”网名) is a 20-year-old YouTuber from the U.S., who went absolutely viral (走红) during his recent trip to China. His videos from this trip got millions of views (浏览量)—and not just on YouTube, but also reposted (转发) across Chinese social platforms like Bilibili, Xiaohongshu, and Douyin! One of his livestreams (直播) from China hit three million views, 有一场直播甚至长达6个小时！People call him “甲亢哥” because he is extremely energetic (活力满满) in front of the camera, always jumping around and shouting. Netizens gave him this nickname as a playful joke (玩笑话) , but it also carries a sense of affection (喜爱). The literal meaning of “甲亢哥” is hyperthyroidism.Basically, hyper energy + chaotic charm =甲亢哥hyperthyroidism 甲状腺功能亢进症02. Speed's China Tour “甲亢哥”的中国行Speed has been traveling for a while—Japan, Korea, Portugal (葡萄牙)—but his China trip hits different (有所不同). He wore a big floral padded jacket (东北大花袄), tried stinky tofu (臭豆腐), danced in public squares (跳广场舞) with kids, walked the streets of Chengdu, got mobbed (围住) by fans...He wasn't just a tourist snapping pics (打卡拍照的游客). 他真的不是“走马观花”的那种游客，而是深入体验了中国文化。当尝试臭豆腐时，他说“This smells horrible... but tastes amazing (闻起来臭，吃起来香) !”。Even though he's an international star, in China, he was completely natural—zero “celebrity distance.” (完全没有名人的那种“距离感”) 比如他会在街头吃路边摊、跟路人跳广场舞，还会用超搞笑的方式学中文。People find him really down to earth and relatable (接地气又让人有共鸣).Netizens say he's “crazy but real (疯得很真实)”. You feel like he's that hilarious (搞笑的) friend everyone has.And the way he genuinely explored China made a lot of people think: “Maybe we should be more open to other cultures, too.”03. Iconic Moments from the Comment Section 评论区名场面他的评论区有很多人留言。There is a funny comment from his kung fu video, “2% kung fu, 95% bald, 3% screaming”. 意思是他的主要“成分”是秃头和吼叫，还有一点点功夫（视频里他戴了一个光头套——bald cap）。And here's another really sweet comment from YouTube:“China stream has been by far the best stream ever for IShowSpeed. The people. The authenticity (真实). The vibe (氛围). It was all right. Never judge a book by its cover (封面). He went up against a lot of pressure not to go to China, but he did—and it turned out amazing.”“Organic interactions will always trump forced ones （自然的互动总是胜过被迫的）.”He's sincere—you can feel his genuine curiosity and reactions (真正的好奇心和互动). 04. Embassy Notices Speed's Viral Fame! “甲亢哥”火爆出圈，惊动大使馆！The Chinese Embassy in the U.S. posted about IShowSpeed's trip on X (原推特). IShowSpeed's China trip really showed people a different side of China—warm, real, full of life (温暖、真实、充满活力).IShowSpeed, an American YouTuber, has garnered (获得) immense (巨大的) attention for his travel experiences in China. He not only visited multiple cities but also immersed himself in the local culture (沉浸式体验当地文化).欢迎在评论区告诉我们： Have you watched Speed's China streams? What was your favorite part? 你有没有看过Speed的中国直播，最喜欢哪一段呢？

Two Chinese athletes unfollowed a Japanese table tennis player on social media after she announced plans to visit a notorious war-linked museum, winning support from netizens. 两位中国运动员在社交平台上取关了一个日本乒乓球选手，据悉，此前她表示打算参观一个臭名昭著的战争博物馆。网友们为中国运动员的这一举动纷纷点赞。A social media account affiliated with the China News Service reported on Wednesday that Hina Hayata, a Japanese table tennis player, said in an interview that she would like to visit the "Chiran Peace Museum for Kamikaze Pilots." Kamikaze pilots represent the ugliness and brutality of Japan's right-wing activists and are a symbol of Japanese military aggression during World War II.8月14日，新华社的社媒官号报道，日本乒乓球运动员早田希娜在采访中表示想去参观“知览特攻和平会馆”，而神风特工队不仅代表了日本右翼分子的丑陋与残忍，还是日军在二战期间发动侵略的罪证。After hearing the news, Chinese table tennis players Sun Yingsha and Fan Zhendong promptly unfollowed Hayata on Sina Weibo on Wednesday.当日得知这一消息后，国乒运动员孙颖莎和樊振东即刻取关了早田希娜的微博账号。On Monday, Hayata had shared photos on Sina Weibo of herself and Chinese table tennis players and said that Fan exchanged pins with her.8月12日，早田希娜还在微博分享过她与国乒运动员的合照，并表示与樊振东互换了胸针。 "He has always been my favorite athlete and I'm excited to see him win at the Olympics," she said.她说：“他一直是我最喜欢的运动员，我非常激动能看到他在奥运会上取得胜利。”The incident sparked discontent and heated discussion among netizens on various social media platforms.这一突发事件在多个社交平台上激起了网友的不满和热烈讨论。Netizens hailed the quick response of the Chinese athletes, saying that this would be normal behavior for every Chinese person.网友呼吁中国运动员尽快发声，并表示这是每一个中国人都应该做的事。Other netizens commented that Chinese athletes follow Japanese athletes as they are respected competitors, but then unfollow them if they cross a bottom line for the Chinese people.其它网民评论道，中国运动员关注日本运动员，是因为他们是值得尊敬的对手，而取关他们，是因为他们挑战了中国人的底线。Some netizens were disappointed, saying that they had been impressed with Hayata when they watched the Games, as she did not give up despite having injuries. They expressed surprise about her behavior.一些网民则表示难过，他们之前在观看比赛时对早田希娜印象深刻，因为即使她有伤在身却依然没有放弃比赛，他们对她的行为感到惊讶。Unfollown.取关Netizenn.网民

Back in 2020, a hashtag - #MilkTeaAlliance – began appearing across the Internet. Netizens in Hong Kong and Taiwan, Thailand, Japan and the Philippines seemed to be building a cross-regional solidarity movement to support pro-democracy activists, like the young people defying the generals who launched Myanmar's coup in 2021.  Even though the hashtag was so visible online, it was hard to see an actual movement in the real world.  Did it really exist?  How did it come about and who did it represent? And with the apparent waning of the hashtag's use, is it about to disappear? We talk to Marc Batac, co-founder and facilitator of the Milk Tea Alliance (Friends of Myanmar). And in the coda… Why does a Malaysian human rights leader moonlight as a TV script writer? https://strengthandsolidarity.org/podcasts/ Contact us at pod@strengthandsolidarity.org

A short video showing a member of the cleaning staff at the Summer Palace in Beijing explaining Buddhist scenic spots drew a lot of traffic on different social media platforms recently, with netizens marveling at his mastery of traditional Chinese culture.近日，一段北京颐和园保洁员向游客介绍佛教景点的短视频爆火，网友纷纷对这位熟练掌握中国传统文化的保洁员赞叹不已。He has been dubbed the most powerful cleaning monk by netizens, originally appearing in Chinese writer Louis Cha's novel Tianlong Babu (demigods and semi-devils) as an unknown martial art master who disguises himself as a cleaning monk in the Shaolin Temple in Henan province.网友称他为“最强扫地僧”，原型出自中国作家金庸的小说《天龙八部》。小说中的人物是不知名的武林高手，扮作河南省少林寺扫地的僧人。In the video, the worker, Zhang Xu, 40, explains the cultural connotations of the sites to several tourists, who were doing research.视频中，40岁的清洁员张旭向几名做研究的游客介绍了景点的文化内涵。What makes it special is his recitation of a list of dozens of hard-to-pronounce Buddhist sites. He speaks with such ease and confidence that it seems he is doing a tongue twister. People thought he must be a tour guide or expert, yet he was wearing the uniform of a janitor and holding a broom.最特别的是张旭背出了一连串拗口的佛教景点。他说起来轻松自信，像是在说绕口令。人们还以为他是导游或者专家，但他穿着门卫的工作服，手里拿着扫帚。After his explanation, Zhang smiled and returned to his work as though nothing had happened.讲解结束后，张旭笑着继续做起了他的工作，像什么都没发生过一样。The video was posted by the researchers on social media platforms on Oct 7 and immediately became a trending topic online. Netizens expressed amazement at how ordinary people can become experts in certain areas.10月7日，这段视频被研究人员发到了社交媒体平台上，立刻引起了热烈讨论。网友感叹，一个普通人也可以在特定的领域成为专家。"In Beijing, no matter what you do, you can acquire a deep understanding of history and culture. Sometimes ordinary people are willing to explain things to complete strangers in exchange for a simple thumbs-up," said one netizen on social media platform Xiaohongshu.一位网友在社交媒体平台小红书上说道，“在北京，无论你从事什么工作，你总能对历史和文化有深入的理解。有时大家都很乐意为陌生人进行讲解，只为得到对方简单的肯定。”Zhang is better than regular tour guides, and the palace should offer him a job as a docent, another commented.另一位网友评论道，“张旭比普通的导游还要好，园区应该安排他去做讲解员。”Zhang lives in Beijing's Yanqing district. He said he had not thought of becoming famous online, as he only wanted to help the tourists who seemed puzzled. He told Beijing Daily that he had been interested in architecture since he was a child. His father works in the construction industry.张旭住在北京延庆区。他说他没有想过成为网红，因为他只是想帮助遇到困惑的游客。他告诉北京日报的记者，他从小就对建筑感兴趣。他的父亲从事建筑工程行业。He himself has been a security guard and construction worker and has always had a strong interest in traditional architecture. He often refers to books or finds information online in his spare time.张旭做过保安，当过建筑工，也一直对传统建筑有浓厚的兴趣。他经常在空闲时翻看相关书籍或上网查找资料。Zhang joined the cleaning staff at the palace in late 2021 and is required to walk about 40,000 steps inside the palace every day, so he knows a lot about it.张旭于2021年底成为了颐和园的清洁员，每天要在园区步行约4万步，所以对一切都非常熟悉。"The traditional architecture of the palace is not just an assembly of bricks and layers. These elements are friends who have deep history and know how to speak to people who understand them," he said.张旭说，“颐和园的传统建筑并不仅仅是堆砌的砖瓦。这里的一砖一瓦都是饱含历史的朋友，能够同懂这段历史的人交谈。”They are historic marvels with distinctive Asian aesthetic, he said.他认为这些砖瓦都是承载着独特亚洲艺术的历史奇迹。The Summer Palace is a well-known imperial garden originally built during the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) and served as a retreat for emperors to escape the summer heat and engage in political and recreational activities.颐和园最早建造于清朝（1644-1911），是一座远近闻名的皇家花园，也是当时皇帝夏季避暑、参与政治及娱乐活动的去处。The palace complex spans a vast area and is renowned for its beautiful landscaping, featuring an artificial lake, numerous pavilions, bridges, temples and gardens.园区占地面积广大，景色秀美，以人造湖、数不尽的亭、桥、寺和花园而闻名。The most powerful cleaning monkn.最强扫地僧

Meanwhile, Timothee Chalamet and Kylie Jenner take their relationship public by making out at Beyonce's concert.  ⚡ After last week's announcement of Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner's divorce, fans are calling out the narrative around the divorce that is painting Sophie as an unfit mother. In the midst of Barbie summer when women are more aware than ever of age-gap relationships and blatant misogyny, this divorce storyline has missed the mark.  ⚡ Danny Masterson, famously known as Hide from That 70s show, was sentenced to 30 years to life in prison following the conviction of two counts of rape. The internet was ablaze after Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis's character letters became public record. Netizens ask how these celebrities could support a convicted rapist, especially while Ahston runs an anti-trafficking organization. We explore the purpose of character letters, the cognitive dissonance we experience as viewers, the out-of-touch nature of celebrities, and how all of this relates to our perception of cancel culture.  Enjoy this episode?

Netizens have rallied around BooksChina.com, one of the country's biggest online bookstores, which has been severely affected by heavy rain and flooding triggered by Typhoon Doksuri.受台风“杜苏芮”引发的暴雨和洪水的严重影响，中国最大的网上书店之一——中图网（BooksChina.com）得到网民的声援。In a statement issued on its website and multiple social media platforms, including WeChat and Sina Weibo, the bookseller said its warehouse in Zhuozhou, Hebei province, suffered the "most destructive impact" of flooding since the company was founded 25 years ago.该书商在其网站和多个社交媒体平台（包括微信和新浪微博）上发表声明称，其位于河北省涿州市的仓库遭受了该公司成立25年来遭遇的“最具毁灭性的损失和打击”。More than 4 million books, which accounted for roughly 80 percent of its inventory, have been damaged by floodwaters, the statement said.声明称，400多万册图书被洪水冲毁，约占其库存的80%。On Tuesday night, after the company sent out messages on social media saying that some of its employees were trapped on the fourth floor of the warehouse, netizens helped direct emergency responders to the location.8月1日晚，该公司在社交媒体上发布消息称其部分员工被困在仓库的四楼，网民们帮助引导应急人员前往该地点。Some social media users offered to buy damaged books, while others said they were willing to make donations to help BooksChina.com survive the ordeal.一些社交媒体用户表示愿意购买受损图书，还有一些人表示愿意捐款帮助中国图书网渡过难关。Hebei was battered by heavy rainfall for about 144 hours since July 27, when Typhoon Doksuri plowed into East China's Fujian province.自7月27日台风“杜苏芮”袭击福建省以来，河北遭受了约144小时的强降雨袭击。Zhuozhou received 355 millimeters of rainfall between 8 am on Saturday and 11 am on Tuesday, and over 130,000 people were affected, according to local authorities.据当地政府称，从7月29日8时至8月1日11时，涿州降雨量达355毫米，超过13万人受灾。Hebei serves as a logistics hub for many companies in Beijing, and nearly 100 publishing houses keep their books stocked in Zhuozhou.河北是北京众多公司的物流枢纽，近100家出版社在涿州备有图书仓库。At around 1:30 pm on Tuesday, employees working at the Books­China.com warehouse shifted some books from the first floor to higher floors, and stacked up sandbags at the entrance, according to Paper.cn.据澎湃新闻报道，8月1日下午1点半左右，在中图网仓库工作的员工将一些图书从一楼转移到较高楼层，并在入口处堆起沙袋。However, floodwaters inundated the first floor within an hour, and employees rushed to take shelter on the fourth floor. It all happened too quickly and they didn't have enough resources to relocate all the books, the employees said.然而，洪水在一小时内淹没了一楼，员工们急忙跑到四楼避难。员工们说，这一切发生得太快，他们没有足够的资源来转移所有书籍。At around 9 pm on Tuesday, the company sent out messages seeking help. By 9 am on Wednesday, rescuers found all employees who were trapped in the warehouse and evacuated them to safety.当日晚9点左右，公司发出了求助信息。次日上午9点，救援人员找到了所有被困在仓库中的员工，并将他们疏散到安全地带。Netizens, who helped organize the rescue, sent words of encouragement to the company. Many ordered more books, gift cards and other items to extend their support.帮助组织营救的网民向公司发出了鼓励的话语。许多人订购了更多的书籍、礼品卡和其他物品，以表达他们的支持。"I have bought many books on your website, some of which saved me. ... It is time for me to rescue you," said one Weibo user.“我在你们的网站上买了很多书，其中一些救了我......。现在是我拯救你们的时候了，”一位微博用户说。Another user wrote, "Those who survive big disasters are blessed with good fortune afterward."另一位用户写道，“大难不死，必有后福。”The company, which mentioned in a statement that the books at its Zhuo­zhou warehouse were almost its "entire stock", said it will not sell the damaged and contaminated books as it valued its readers' safety more.该公司在一份声明中提到，涿州仓库的图书几乎是其“全部库存”，并表示不会出售这些受损和受污染的图书，因为该公司更看重读者的安全。"We have lost many out-of-print books," the company said in another post.

After the flood recedes, we will check how many books can still be sold."“我们损失了不可复制、不会加印的稀缺、绝版、老版书”，该公司在另一篇帖子中说。“仍无法保证目前在售图书都能正常配货。等洪灾过去，我们重整库房，重新调货。”Deeply moved by the kind gestures of social media users, the company said, "Your support gives us the confidence to overcome this difficult period."该公司被社交媒体用户的善举深深感动，它写道：“大家的支持，给了我们很大的信心渡过这次难关。”BooksChina.com needs three to four weeks to go over pending online orders, and will call or send text messages to clients whose orders cannot be delivered, the company said, adding that they will be refunded.中图网表示，“未发货、未处理的订单，请多给我们一些时间（预计3到4周），急需用书的读者可先取消订单。”并将致电或发送短信给无法交付订单的客户，并补充说他们将获得退款。Warehouse英/ˈweəhaʊs/ 美/ˈwerhaʊs/n.仓库，货栈，货仓Destructive英/dɪˈstrʌktɪv/ 美/dɪˈstrʌktɪv/adj.破坏性的，毁灭性的

Visiting the campuses of the famous Peking University and Tsinghua University is a huge summer attraction for Chinese students and their parents. As only a limited number of visitors are allowed to enter the premises of the two universities on any given day, scalpers are making big money by selling free entry tickets at high prices to eager students. 参观著名的北京大学和清华大学校园是暑期吸引中国学生和家长的一个热门旅游景点。由于这两所大学每天只允许有限数量的游客入内，黄牛们通过高价出售免费门票来赚取高额利润。The campuses have only recently reopened to the public after remaining closed for three years due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Now that visitors are being allowed in again, there is a massive rush to book the limited number of free tickets that are released by the universities for day trips. The scalpers, some of whom are former students of the two universities, have been profiting from this situation. 这两所大学的校园由于新冠疫情封闭了三年之久，最近才重新对公众开放。现在游客再次被允许入内，每天所释放的限量免费门票成为抢手货。其中一些黄牛甚至是这两所大学的校友，他们从中牟利。Peking University has acted against 46 former students who raked in around 1.5 million yuan ($210,000) from 139 students who wanted to visit the campus, said a notice issued by the university recently. Each of the 139 students was charged 10,800 yuan for a "study tour" that included visits to the university. 北京大学日前发布公告称，该校已对46名前学生采取了行动，他们从139名希望参观校园的学生那里敛财约150万元人民币（约合21万美元）。这139名学生每人被收取了10800元的“参观学习”费用，其中包括参观北大。The university, which allows former students to book tickets for up to three companions to enter the campus during the summer vacation, has suspended the 46 former students' access to booking tickets either for themselves or others. 这所大学允许毕业生在暑假期间为最多三名同伴预订进入校园的门票，但已暂停了这46名毕业生为自己或他人预订门票的权限。On July 8, both PKU and Tsinghua reopened their campuses to the public, and visitors need to book appointments in advance. While PKU did not specify how many visitors are being allowed daily, Tsinghua University said it is letting in 4,000 visitors a day. 7月8日，北京大学和清华大学重新向公众开放校园，但参观者需要提前预约。北京大学没有说明每天允许多少游客参观，而清华大学则表示每天允许4000名游客参观。Experts said the strong interest among parents and students to visit the two universities means the campuses would be swamped with people if there are no restrictions, yet allowing in only those who have booked slots in advance is helping unscrupulous elements to exploit the situation. 专家表示，家长和学生对参观两所大学的浓厚兴趣意味着，如果不加限制，两所大学的校园将人满为患，但只允许提前预订时段的人进入，这就助长了不法分子的钻空子行为。On travel portal Ctrip, a five-day summer camp to PKU and Tsinghua costs around 5,000 yuan. The trip includes meeting students from the two universities, taking pictures with them, learning about the admission process from them and also attending lectures given by professors. 在旅游门户网站携程网上，为期五天的北京大学和清华大学夏令营费用约为5000元。行程包括与两所大学的学生见面、合影留念、向他们了解入学流程，以及聆听教授的讲座。However, there is no way of actually verifying if the students and professors are really from the universities. Moreover, the trip does not promise entry into the university campuses. It only talks about visits to the "outside" of the universities. 但是，无法实际核实学生和教授是否真的来自大学。此外，这次旅行并不承诺进入大学校园。它只谈及对大学“外部”的访问。According to Nanfang Metropolis Daily, a woman surnamed Li from Hangzhou said that she signed her child up for a five-day study tour to the universities, costing 4,980 yuan, but her child did not even get to enter the two universities, and had to be satisfied with photographs taken at the gates. 据《南方都市报》报道，杭州一位李姓女士说，她给孩子报了五天的大学游学团，花了4980元，但孩子连两所大学的大门都没进，只能在校门口拍照。Apart from the so-called study tours, simply entering the two universities is now costing a lot of money. Netizens have complained on different social media platforms about the difficulties they have faced in obtaining a free slot to visit the two universities, while others claimed that they got the tickets for a price. 除了所谓的游学团，现在仅仅进入这两所大学就要花很多钱。网民在不同的社交媒体平台上抱怨，他们很难获得免费参观两所大学的名额，而其他人则声称，他们是花钱买到门票的。According to Beijing Business Today, scalpers have been selling tickets for a day tour of the campuses at 300 to 500 yuan. People wanting to visit have to share their ID number and phone number with the scalpers, who claim they can get the entry tickets as soon as they are released. 据《北京商报》报道，黄牛以300至500元的价格出售校园一日游门票。想去参观的人必须把身份证号和电话号码告诉黄牛，黄牛声称只要一放出门票就能拿到。There have been instances where people have paid the money to the scalpers, but have not got the tickets in return. 曾有一些人向黄牛支付了钱，却没有换来门票。A 19-year-old student surnamed Han said he paid a scalper 20 yuan to enter Tsinghua, and sent his personal information as advised. However, when he tried to enter the campus, the security guard told him the ticket system did not have his information. 一位19岁的韩姓学生说，他向黄牛支付了20元钱，并按照建议发送了个人信息，以进入清华校门。然而，当他试图进入校园时，保安告诉他，售票系统没有他的信息。When he tried to ask for his money back, the scalper blocked his number. 当他试图要回自己的钱时，黄牛拉黑了他的号码。Sun Zhifeng, a lawyer at Chance Bridge Law Firm, said it is difficult to crack down on such scalpers, as many are anonymous online entities. 北京卓纬律师事务所的律师孙志峰表示，很难打击此类黄牛，因为许多黄牛都是匿名的网络实体。However, if a lot of money is involved, they can be tracked for committing fraud and carrying out illegal business operations, Sun said.不过，孙志峰说，如果涉及大量资金，就可以追查他们的诈骗和非法经营行为。Profit英/ˈprɒfɪt/美/ˈprɑːfɪt/v.赢利，获利Fraud英/frɔːd/ 美/frɔːd/n.欺诈，骗局，诡计Reporter: Zou ShuoIntern : Zang Tianyi

A video went viral in South Korea of a CEO slapping an employee on the face in front of all his employees. Netizens were enraged - but as new details emerged, they realized the truth was even darker. The sadistic CEO would force his employees to decapitate live chickens during company retreats, force them to drink beer till they urinated themselves, he force-feed them multivitamins till they threw up, and shoot at them with BB guns for fun. The terrifying part was that this was just the tip of a very dark, cold iceberg. This is the true story that inspired the hit K-Drama series “Taxi Driver.” Full Source Notes: rottenmangopodcast.com To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

When the first round of the Covid-19 pandemic broke out in Wuhan of central China's Hubei Province in early 2020, many countries recognized its inherent risk to global health and began donating gloves, masks, hazmat suits – sending whatever they could to help combat the virus. Among the supplies sent from Japan were shipments from the organization that administers the HSK, otherwise known as the Chinese proficiency test, there in Japan.What they didn't expect was that the Chinese phrase written on the exterior of those relief boxes would go viral on Chinese social media. The lines read, “Even though we live in different places, we live under the same sky.” Netizens praised the words as a sign of heartfelt support for China in its struggle to cope with the coronavirus.Today, we're going to talk about how this very short poem went a long way toward inspiring a Buddhist monk of the Tang Dynasty to undertake a perilous journey to re-establish the correct precepts and practices of Buddhism in Japan.
