China's inbound tourism market saw strong recovery and growth during the just-concluded May Day holiday, with smaller cities attracting more foreign visitors seeking cultural experiences, according to industry insiders.业内人士表示，在刚刚结束的五一假期期间，中国入境旅游市场强劲复苏并实现增长，不少寻求文化体验的外国游客开始青睐小城市。During the five-day break, inbound travel bookings surged 130 percent from a year earlier, said Trip.com Group, China's largest online travel agency. While top-tier cities such as Beijing and Shanghai remained popular, destinations including Chengdu in Sichuan province, Chongqing, Hangzhou in Zhejiang province, Zhuhai in Guangdong province, and Xi'an in Shaanxi province also made the list of top inbound choices.中国最大的在线旅行平台携程集团表示，在为期五天的假期期间，入境游预订量同比增长130%。虽然北京和上海等一线城市依然受欢迎，但四川成都、重庆、浙江杭州、广东珠海和陕西西安等目的地也跻身热门入境游目的地之列。China has been opening its doors wider to international travelers. In 2024, the country expanded its unilateral visa-free policy to include 38 countries, allowing visits of up to 30 days, according to the National Immigration Administration.中国持续扩大对国际游客的开放。据国家移民管理局消息，2024年中国将单方面免签政策扩大至38个国家，允许最多停留30天。Favorable tax refund policies have also boosted inbound travel. In late April, China lowered the tax refund threshold from 500 yuan ($68.80) to 200 yuan and raised the cash refund limit from 10,000 yuan to 20,000 yuan. There is no limit on refunds processed by bank transfer, according to a guideline issued by the Ministry of Commerce and five other departments.优惠的退税政策也促进了入境游的蓬勃发展。根据商务部等六部门发布的指导意见，4月下旬中国将退税起征点从500元人民币（68.80美元）降至200元人民币，并将现金退税限额从1万元人民币提高至2万元人民币。银行转账退税不受限额限制。"We encourage relevant institutions to provide tax refund services through various means such as mobile payments, bank cards and cash, and to better meet the diverse payment service needs of overseas travelers," said Sheng Qiuping, vice-minister of commerce, at a recent news conference in Beijing.商务部副部长盛秋平在最近于北京举行的新闻发布会上表示：“我们鼓励相关机构通过移动支付、银行卡、现金等多种方式提供退税服务，更好地满足境外旅客多样化的支付服务需求。”During the holiday, tourists from the United States, South Korea and Japan made up the largest share of inbound visitors. The number of travelers from Australia, Vietnam and Canada also rose significantly, according to Beijing-based travel platform Qunar.假期期间，美国、韩国和日本游客占入境游客的最大份额。据北京旅游平台去哪儿网的数据，来自澳大利亚、越南和加拿大的游客数量也大幅增长。Foreign visitors are venturing beyond major cities. Hotel bookings by foreign tourists in Zhuhai rose 70 percent year-on-year, while Qingdao in Shandong province and Wuhan in Hubei province saw increases of 60 percent and 50 percent, respectively, Qunar reported.外国游客开始深入探索非一线城市。据去哪儿网报道，珠海的外国游客酒店预订量同比增长70%，山东青岛和湖北武汉的酒店预订量分别增长了60%和50%。China's picturesque landscapes and rich culinary culture have frequently been featured in South Korean TV dramas and variety shows, piquing travel interest. The May Day holiday also coincides with a public holiday in South Korea, encouraging young travelers to visit China.中国风景如画的自然风光和丰富的饮食文化频繁出现在韩国电视剧和综艺节目中，激发了人们的旅游兴趣。五一假期恰逢韩国的公共假期，吸引了大量年轻游客赴华旅游。South Korea's leading travel agency, Hana Tour, said January trips to China rose 77 percent year-on-year, outpacing a 20 percent increase for trips to Japan. The surge was mainly driven by China's visa-free policy.韩国知名旅行社哈拿多乐表示，1月份赴华旅游同比增长77%，超过赴日旅游20%的增幅。这一增长主要得益于中国的免签政策。Major South Korean airlines have responded by expanding their international flight offerings to China to meet rising demand.韩国各大航空公司纷纷扩大赴华国际航班服务，以满足日益增长的需求。Meanwhile, more foreign visitors are seeking immersive cultural experiences in rural areas. A Trip.com resort in Zhangjiajie, Hunan province, reported a surge in bookings from tourists from the US, Italy and Spain since April.与此同时，越来越多的外国游客正在寻求乡村地区的沉浸式文化体验。据携程网报道，湖南省张家界一家度假村自4月份以来，来自美国、意大利和西班牙的游客预订量激增。"Besides sightseeing, foreign tourists have shown increasing interest in in-depth tours and diverse experiences, such as participating in farming activities and attending ethnic concerts," said Fang Zexi, a Trip.com Group researcher.携程集团研究员方泽茜表示：“除了观光，外国游客对深度游和丰富多彩的体验项目也越来越感兴趣，例如参与农耕活动、聆听民族音乐会等。”Their cultural curiosity extends into everyday life. In Chengdu, a popular southwestern city, more foreign visitors are booking culinary experiences, visits to local farmers' markets, cooking sessions, table presentations and food tasting, Trip.com said.他们对文化的好奇心延伸到了日常生活中。携程表示，在西南热门城市成都，越来越多的外国游客预订了美食体验、参观当地农贸市场、参加烹饪课程、体验餐桌演示和品尝美食等活动。In the first three days of the holiday, more than 5,700 inbound passenger trips were recorded by Chengdu's border inspection authority, a year-on-year increase of over 170 percent, according to the Sichuan provincial entry and exit bureau.据四川省出入境管理局统计，假期前三天，成都边检部门共接待入境旅客超过5700人次，同比增长超过170%。surge/sɜːrdʒ/n.激增，猛涨unilateral visa-free policy单方面免签政策immersive/ɪˈmɜːrsɪv/adj.沉浸式的culinary/ˈkʌlɪnəri/adj.厨房的，烹饪的

Every day Americans take the reliable supply of electricity for granted. Except during severe storms, we rarely, if ever, think that the lights might not turn on in the morning.But in some parts of the country, consumers face the threat of rolling blackouts, and sudden surges in the price of electricity. Nearly two years ago, nearly 300 people died when the Texas power grid partially failed during a winter cold snap. California came close to a grid collapse last summer. And New England might be in big trouble this coming winter. Energy analyst, author, and chemist, Meredith Angwin, is our guest in this episode of "How Do We Fix It?" Her latest book is “Shorting the Grid: The Hidden Fragility of our Electric Grid.” In recent years, our podcast co-host Jim Meigs has written extensively on energy, and says it's a bad idea to shut down nuclear power plants that supply large amounts of reliable energy and aren't dependent on the weather. But the threatened electricity grid crisis is not just about how we make power—it's how we deliver power to users. For big chunks of the country that system has changed radically in recent decades. Reforms that were meant to make our energy system more competitive backfired. The fragile gird matters more than at any time in memory for three reasons: - The need to decarbonize energy production to limit the future impacts of climate change. - Modern technology requires a big increase in electricity output.- The geopolitical clash over energy has grown more intense and violent since Putin's 2022 invasion of Ukraine.We also discuss why it's not enough to add more solar panels, wind turbines and hydro-electric power to the system. We need new and improved transmission lines to move all that power.Recommendation: Richard is watching "Extraordinary Attorney Woo", a South Korean TV series about a brilliant rookie attorney who has autism spectrum disorder.

"Twenty-Five, Twenty-One" is a South Korean TV series that is originally produced by tvN that is streaming on Netflix. The show is set in 1998 South Korea, and it's about a high school girl who does everything that she can to pursue her dream - fencing. The show has 16 episodes, but so far, only two episodes have aired. So, for today's episode, I want to talk more about the show's setting, which the show doesn't explain for its international viewers.

Hallyu (a Chinese term that translates to ‘the Korean Wave') refers to the transcendence and increasing popularity of South Korean cultural exports such as South Korean TV dramas and pop music. Popular in Asian countries from the mid-1990s to the mid-2000s, the second wave or Hallyu 2.0 is now becoming popular in Western countries - and luxury brands are seeking out more collaborations with Korean celebrities as global brand ambassadors. Are Western consumers and Korean consumers different in terms of their expectations from the brands in which they invest? How is South Korea influencing global fashion, and is the luxury industry prepared to accurately understand consumer groups across different communities and cultures?

Starting August 27, 2021, a new South Korean TV show started streaming on Netflix (yes, it has English subtitles!), and it's called "D.P."

In today's episode, I talk about the show's take on the military and how it delves into topics like bullying, which permeates not just the military but the entire South Korean society.Show Notes:● Stream the show on Netflix● "Korean culture may offer clues in Asiana crash" — 2013 article on CNBC● Music: Nine Lives by Unicorn Heads (YouTube Audio Library License)Follow me on other social media sites at:● Twitter: https://twitter.com/koreanforeigner● YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQn38awXiHFzBXzVII47M3gSupport the show (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/koreaforeigner)

On Friday's show: A state appellate court has ruled that a trial court was wrong to block Proposition B, a charter amendment that would have provided pay parity between firefighters and police officers in Houston.

A female college student has asked her boyfriend to watch 12 classic South Korean TV dramas and recite romantic scenes afterwards. Can you carve a romantic out of stone?

Heyang: A female college student has asked her boyfriend to watch 12 classic South Korean TV dramas and recite romantic scenes afterwards. Can you carve a romantic out of stone?汉口学院一名大二男生，在通讯工具上收到女友发给他的一张韩国电视剧清单，要求其在一个月内看完清单上列出的12部韩剧，并能够完整的叙述剧中出现的浪漫情节。这样做就可以让男朋友浪漫起来吗？女孩们~最近有没有被《朝五晚九》里的霸气和尚或者《我的少女时代》里的校园小霸王徐太宇激发你粉红少女心~ 让男伴好好学一学呢~Certainly I learned a lot from these two shows. 朝五晚九(From Five To Nine). This is a Japanese TV drama. Laiming: Isn’t it your favorite show? And you can’t remember its name? HY: 山P，or山下智久? He’s the guy who plays the main role, he plays a Buddhist priest. The storyline isn’t all that complicated. Basically a wonderful, amazing, gorgeous guy is totally head over heels in love this girl and treats her super well. So there isn’t all that much to be said there. But guys, do you think it’s useful to learn something from these South Korean TV dramas, or Japanese TV dramas, or whatever romantic movie/TV series out there?Michael: I don’t think you can really limit this to SK or Japanese TV dramas. I think you could probably transpose this conversation anywhere in the world. (HY: I agree.)When we are talking about this college student, did she ask her boyfriend to watch 12 SK dramas and then recite scenes from them word for word afterwards? HY: No. I mean it’s more like…reciting is about showing you’ve actually watched it and you remember it, and I think she’s expecting more from it.LM: A summary of the romantic moments. In these 12 soap operas. HY: Do you think it’s reasonable what she’s doing? M: If she’s expecting him to watch all this and after that he’ll be the world’s leading authority on love and romance…I think it somewhat devalues the nature of being loving and romantic if you have to pick up your ideas from television. I think it should be sort of spontaneous. HY: If would be great if it’s spontaneous. But sometimes guys you are just not. And the girl still wants to be with you. She’s not dumping you. She’s just asking you ‘can you please watch these TV dramas and get some ideas. I want this to work, we’ve a good thing going on.’ What do you say?LM: Do you want the same thing that’s happened in the TV series to happen on yourself? Exactly the same thing?HY: Exactly the same thing? Oh I can’t believe you asked me that…OF COURSE!! It’s something that’s quite dreamy I have to say~ But, let’s just look at this realistically. It’s not gonna happen exactly like in the TV show. And this isn’t even what the girl is asking for. She just wants you to learn a bit more. Do you think she’s a bit outrageous or whatever?LM: I think you need to define ‘useful.’ Is it getting you laid useful, or helping you maintain a healthy relationship useful? What kind of useful are you looking for? HY: Well, what kind of ‘useful’ are you looking for, dude? When it comes to such a situation, what’s going on here is actually quite a good thing. Because the girl is basically saying we’re dating and I’m not happy with what you are doing right now. And here are some tips, why not taking them. And the guy can say yes or no. in this story, the guy actually said yeah I’ll go watch it…LM: Does he have a choice?M: Conversely, you might think that she say ok I’m not happy with what you are doing right now, but then he might push back and said this isn’t really me, I’m not happy expressing myself in this way. I think it works both ways.HY: Yeah, I think that’s a really important part here. Because neither side is saying you have to do this. But of course if you’re not willing to make this compromise, it’s highly possible that you’ll break up. It’s through this process people learn how to deal with the other person. And when we are looking at these too youngsters in college dating…Why are you laughing like that Laiming? He can’t control himself. LM: You are all pink talking about this.HY: The good old days. I think it’s really important that Chinese youngsters to go through dating and all this stuff. That’s how you know exactly how to have a relationship and how to make a relationship function. Without this kind of conversation it will not work. And when you look at all those singletons in our society, partially it’s because we’ve been studying so hard in school and we didn’t have the chance to date and have this kind of conversation.LM: I’m with you on this we should learn things by going on dates with other people/the opposite sex. But I’m not with you by saying that we should learn things (this introvert boy) by watching TV. I don’t think so. There are skills you can require. But unless it’s from the bottom of your heart, it’s not going to help you in the long term. M: It’s just seems a bit manufactured if you’re sitting down and watching all these programs, maybe copy and paste aspects of that in your personal life. It should be sincere, come from the heart and you should be yourself. HY: Okay. If you’re just copy and paste from any movie for it to work in your love life, that’s not going to work. You need to improvise, you have something to draw upon. And this girl has gone this far to give you the material, all you need to do is take the tips and turn it into something of your own. And your relationship will thrive. LM: I don’t think it’s a reasonable move on the part of the girl. Because we all know SK soap operas are notoriously long. They could extend to 80 episodes.HY: There are short ones that’s only 25 episodes~LM: 12 TV series in a month, he can’t do anything else. HY: Alright. They need to figure something out if they want to stay together. We have lots of listeners leaving messages here. First of all, I’d like to say hi to LYL李. She is listening to our show using data flow. Thank you so much, you are paying for this. Thank you for your message. She’s saying I love watching 朝五晚九(From five to nine). She persuaded her boyfriend to watch it out of knowing more about Japanese traditional culture and Buddhism. But actually she just wants him to learn the tactics that beautiful monk does. And our male listeners are not happy with what this girl has done. Basically saying you can’t just copy these tactics, it’s not gonna work, it has to be sincere. Basically you guys agree with it. I just think for this show it’s worthwhile for people to watch, because you get see 山下智久 to go through Buddhism practice under a waterfall. Oh man oh man, ladies you should all check it out!That’s all the time we have for Round Table today. I’m Heyang. Stay tuned for more.

XH: During this week's Round Table, we got to discuss a really popular South Korean TV drama, 来自星星的你. During the discussion, we got to talk about what exactly a soap opera is. ‘Cuz obviously John, you don't think this show falls into the category of a soap opera. So, what exactly is a soap opera? JA: Well, a soap opera is characterized by having a large, large cast of characters, and storylines that, basically, never end and just over-the-top acting and melodrama. I would say that来自星星的你 definitely does not actually fit that all. In fact, we have a clip of some American, and even a Mexican, soap opera to give you a taste of what a soap opera actually is. [clip] XH: Okay, so I got a brief idea. 所以说肥皂剧就是那种特别冗长似乎永远也播不完的。 And also, it sounds like from the soundbite we were just listening to, they're really dramatic. JA: Yes, very dramatic XH: And not that well made. JA: Well, production value is actually quite low because soap operas are actually… They're broadcast 5 days a week, usually sometime in the afternoon. And so the production cycle has to be very, very short, just because they pretty much don't take any breaks. They might take a couple of seasonal breaks around the summer and the winter, otherwise they just keep going all year. XH: 所以美国意义上的肥皂剧是那种日播的肥皂剧，可能会一播播好多年, right? JA: Oh yeah, like “All My Children” for example, my mother, she's been watching that since she was a teenager and it's still on ABC. Like, if you go to the United States right now, you can go and still watch “All My Children.” XH: Yeah. Final question: so something like来自星星的你, what category would it fall into? JA: I would say it's more like a romantic drama or something like a romantic comedy to a certain degree just because the premise is quite, um, it's a little bit too fantastic, I would say. But, in general, it's definitely not a soap opera. That being said, I think a lot of Chinese shows can actually fit into part of the definition of soap opera. XH: In that it is bad?! JA: It's, well, there is that, but also just in terms of over-the-top emotions that we see half the time in a lot of these popular Chinese TV dramas you also see similar types of things in American soap operas. XH: I got it. So if we make those dramas longer and on daytime television, they will be soap operas. JA: Exactly. XH: Alright, that's good to know!

It's a South Korean TV drama that started airing on SBS last December. On iQiyi, one of the biggest online video service providers, over 100, 000 audiences press "like" button for the first episode. Really how popular is it in China?

After watching Hong Kong director Barbara Wong's movie "The Stolen Years", a question occurred to me: is there such a thing as an overcooked chick flick? Well, I guess for most men, all chick flicks are overcooked, but this one, "The Stolen Years", is particularly so. He Man is a young divorcee who is lucky enough to get a second chance at her failed marriage and her ex-husband loves her enough to let her. But this only happens after a car accident which causes her to lose her memories from the past five years. Now, since her most recent memory stops at another accident which occurred during the couple's honeymoon trip, He Man finds renewed interest in her ex-husband, and begins to search for the reasons behind their breakup. At the end of the day, the couple arrives at the revelation that all their grudges derive from He Man's promotion at work and decide to forgive each other. Just as they are ready to take up where they left off however, further tragedy occurs and takes their misfortune to a whole new level. Two types of people are particularly fond of tragedy: women and the Greeks. While I admit that we could all use some catharsis from time to time, "The Stolen Years" provides this to an excessive degree. I mean, we've already learnt that work promotions can be bad for marriages but car accidents may be the cure, that’s enough lessons one can take from a single chick flick, so there is really no need to add more twists to harvest additional tears. FYI, the Greeks need a break. Nonetheless, the director seems quite determined to push the boundaries and introduces some notoriously cliché from South Korean TV shows and movies. Now, enough chiding. Despite the overkill, director Barbara Wong is actually quite an expert in story-telling from a female perspective. In 2001, she won the International Film Award for her feature film "Women's Private Parts" at the New York International Independent Film and Video Festival. The film's botched ending aside, "The Stolen Years" actually tells a well-paced and well-written chick flick story, which strikes a good balance between sentiment and humor. The lead actress Bai Baihe is a charming presence throughout the film, so much so that her character eclipses the male lead portrayed by Zhang Xiaoquan, making his acting seem merely responsive. The first half of "The Stolen Years" exhibits the styles of a typical and pleasant Taiwan film until it crash-lands into a South Korean ending. On a scale from one to ten, it gets a six.
