In Part 1 of our conversation with Tianchen Xu, Senior Economist at The Economist Intelligence Unit, we dig into China's macro performance in the first half of 2025—and what the future may hold. Tianchen analyzes Q1's headline 5.4% growth, discusses why the London trade truce between the US and China matters, and highlights what Western media narratives often miss when reporting on China's economy.We also explore how resilient China's economy really is in the face of renewed US tariffs, whether the truce will hold, and how all of this impacts international brands and investor sentiment. For anyone navigating China's economic landscape in 2025, this episode offers a level-headed, data-driven perspective.Discussion Points:Why Q1 2025's 5.4% GDP growth may be more complicated than it looksThe London US-China tariff agreement: what it covers and what could unravelHow China's supply chain reconfiguration may insulate it from future tariff shocksWhat Western media gets wrong about China's macro fundamentalsThe role of state-led investment and policy buffers in maintaining growth momentum
【聊了什么The What】 在一个充满官僚主义的银河帝国中,革命究竟意味着什么?当理想主义者遭遇现实的残酷,"正义"与"邪恶"的界限是否真的那么清晰?从Luthen的革命理念到Dedra的极权思维,剧集以令人不安的方式探讨了权力、反抗与人性的本质。 革命的本质是什么?它需要什么样的代价和牺牲?从卢森的马基雅维利式的组织者形象,到帝国完美官僚的非人性,再到太空法国的群众运动,《安多》探讨了反抗与压迫、个人与集体、理想与现实之间的复杂关系。 Andor Season 2 is a unique work in the Star Wars universe that features no lightsabers, Force powers, or chosen ones, instead focusing on marginalized characters and the imperial bureaucracy. The series tells the story of how the Empire was overthrown, showcasing the desperation of ordinary people, cracks within the Empire, and the real cost of rebellion. As "a prequel to a prequel" of the original Star Wars trilogy, Andor Season 2 ends by seamlessly transitioning into the film Rogue One, revealing these characters' ultimate fates. The show explores several thought-provoking themes: Is the nature of revolution romantic idealism or bloody reality? How does the Empire's propaganda machine justify colonization and genocide through stereotypes and inciting hatred? How do characters like Luther and Dedra represent different facets of revolution and oppression? Perhaps most importantly, in an age of rampant social media where everyone claims to possess "the truth," how can we discern the reality of history? 【时间轴 The When】 00:00:00 作为精神股东,终于看上了安多 00:01:40 安多作为星战宇宙中的奇特存在,没有光剑和原力,聚焦底层人物 00:06:52 太空法国:探讨帝国如何通过宣传和刻板印象为毁灭Gorman星球正名 00:11:15 Gorman事件:以及社交媒体时代的"真相"困境 00:26:01 Luthen,以及革命者如何成为他所憎恨的对象的映照 00:36:18 帝国官僚Dedra 00:47:32 安多:一个被写不进正史的英雄 00:52:37 必须得给安多留个孩子吗?? 00:00:00 Introduction to Andor Season 2, explaining its unique place in the Star Wars universe 00:01:40 Star Wars with no lightsabers or Force 00:06:52 "Space France" - how the director transforms a historical footnote into the emotional core of the series 00:18:51 Reflecting on parallels between the Gorman massacre and real-world events, and the dilemma of "truth" in the social media era 00:26:01 Luthen: how a revolutionary becomes a reflection of what he hates 00:36:18 Dedra character analysis: Empire turns people into tools 00:47:32 Andor: a hero who won't make it into official history 00:52:37 Discussion of the series ending: does Andor need a kid? 【疲惫红书 CyberRed】 除了播客以外,疲惫娇娃的几个女的在小红书上开了官方账号,我们会不定期发布【疲惫在读】、【疲惫在看】、【疲惫旅行】、【疲惫Vlog】等等更加轻盈、好玩、实验性质的内容。如果你想知道除了播客以外我们在关注什么,快来小红书评论区和我们互动。 Apart from the podcast, we have set up an official account on Xiaohongshu.

Within a week, his Douyin account garnered more than 24 million followers, while his RedNote account attracted over 570,000 followers.视频中,他站在一块黑板前说道:“大家好,我是韦东奕。”短短一周内,他的抖音账号就吸引了超过2400万粉丝,而他的小红书账号则吸引了超过57万粉丝。Wei's unexpected appearance on social media quickly went viral. However, it also raised concerns among netizens about his health. Many viewers noticed apparent dental issues in the video and called on the university to offer more support to the young academic.韦东奕在社交媒体上的意外亮相迅速走红。然而,这也引发了网友对他健康状况的担忧。许多观众注意到视频中韦东奕的牙齿问题,并呼吁学校为这位年轻的学者提供更多帮助。According to Chengdu-based media outlet Hongxing News, Wei stated that he would not make any further public responses on this matter. He also acknowledged that the recent wave of public attention has had an impact on him.据成都媒体红星新闻报道,韦东奕表示,他不会就此事发表任何公开回应。他也承认,近期公众的关注对他产生了影响。Renowned in China for both his extraordinary mathematical talent and modest lifestyle, Wei was born in 1991 and won gold medals with perfect scores in the 49th and 50th International Mathematical Olympiads while in high school. He later enrolled at Peking University, where he earned a doctorate and began working as an assistant professor in 2019.韦东奕出生于1991年,以其非凡的数学天赋和朴实的生活方式而闻名中国。高中时期,他曾以满分的成绩获得第49届和第50届国际奥林匹克数学竞赛的金牌。后来,他考入北京大学,并于2019年博士毕业,成为该校助理教授。Wei first drew national attention in a 2021 interview where he was seen carrying a water bottle and a bag of steamed buns, an image that quickly resonated with the public and added to his reputation for simplicity and dedication.韦东奕首次在全国范围内受到关注是在2021年一次采访中。他手持水瓶、提着一袋馒头的形象引起公众强烈共鸣,也进一步树立了其“朴实无华、专注学术”的公众形象。In response to the growing public concern, the school, in an interview with Xinhua News Agency, said that it has been attending to Wei's oral health. Medical consultations have already been conducted, with a proposed treatment plan on hand.针对网友对其健康的持续关注,学校在接受新华社采访时表示,学校一直在关注韦东奕的口腔健康。目前,学校已安排医生会诊,并制定了相关治疗方案。The school said it would continue to support his access to medical care. At the same time, the school urged netizens to help maintain a quiet environment conducive to scholarly research, allowing Wei to fully focus on his teaching and academic work.学校表示,将持续为其就医提供便利。同时,校方也呼吁公众共同维护一个安静、适于学术研究的环境,使他能够全身心投入教学和学术工作。Peking University also expressed gratitude for the public's concern, but emphasized that in accordance with its commitment to respecting Wei's wishes, it continues to provide comprehensive support in terms of work, daily life and healthcare, with proper arrangements and guarantees in place.北京大学也对公众的关心表示感谢,但强调将继续根据他本人的意愿,持续做好在工作、生活、医疗等方面的全方位保障与妥善安排。Wei's account launch coincided with the national college entrance exam, or gaokao, prompting a flood of messages from students expressing their hopes for strong performances in the mathematics portion of the exam.韦东奕开设社交媒体账号的时间,正值全国高考期间,众多学生在评论区留言,希望自己能在数学科目中取得好成绩。However, Wei's popularity also led to the emergence of numerous copycat accounts on social media, using names such as "God Wei" and "Wei Dongyi Select" to capitalize on the trend. One fake Weibo account under the name "The Real Wei Dongyi" was identified and subsequently blocked by the platform.然而,韦东奕的受欢迎程度也导致社交媒体上出现了许多模仿账号,他们使用“韦神”和“韦东奕精选”等名称来利用这一趋势。一个以“韦东奕真人”为名的假微博账号被发现并被该平台屏蔽。debut/ˈdeɪbjuː/n.初次亮相;首次登台garner/ˈɡɑːrnər/v.获得;收集copycat/ˈkɑːpikæt/n.模仿者;仿冒品adj.仿制的;抄袭的consultation/ˌkɑːnslˈteɪʃn/n.会诊;咨询;磋商

【2025戛纳电影节 2025 Cannes Film Festival】 节目开始之前,和大家说一声,疲惫娇娃的几个女的已经空降戛纳参加电影节了!请关注我们的同名小红书账号看来自戛纳的更新。 We have landed in Cannes for the film festival! Follow us on Xiaohongshu for more updates from Cannes. 【聊了什么 The What】 本期疲惫娇娃,我们聊的是2024年的电影Conclave ——一部设定在教皇去世之后、围绕选出新一任教皇展开的电影。在这部由Edward Berger执导、Ralph Fiennes主演的作品中,观众得以窥见那场始终被神秘包围的梵蒂冈教皇选举:密室中的拉票、权力的计算、秘密的揭露,以及制度对个人的塑形与反噬。 我们从电影谈起,延伸到对天主教会体制的讨论:它如何用神圣维系秩序,又如何将改革压制在传统之下。影片中的主角们不仅是宗教人物,更是复杂的政治人类;而那些隐于画面边缘的修女、工作人员,则承载着最深的情感张力与结构性的沉默。 节目中也会提到最近现实中那位“美国出生的教皇”所引发的舆论回响,从中对照出Conclave所描绘的制度困境与文化裂缝。在一个讲求现代化的时代,信仰、怀疑、服从与转变之间的冲突从未停止,反而愈加微妙。在这集播客,我们也借着Conclave,用元视角反思了我们几个主播过去几年的信仰和布道。 In this episode of Cyberpink, we discuss the 2024 film Conclave — a story set in the aftermath of a pope's death, centered on the secretive process of electing his successor. Directed by Edward Berger and starring Ralph Fiennes, the film offers a rare look inside the Vatican's cloistered world: backroom deals, power games, hidden truths, and the way institutions shape — and consume — the individuals within them. Starting with the film, we move into a broader conversation about the structure of the Catholic Church: how it uses sacredness to maintain order, and how tradition often suppresses the possibility of reform. The protagonists in Conclave are not just religious figures — they are deeply political beings. And those who remain on the margins of the screen — nuns, aides, staff — carry the film's quietest, yet most intense emotional weight. We also touch on the recent real-world election of the first U.S.-born pope and the media discourse surrounding it, drawing parallels with Conclave's portrayal of institutional tension and cultural fracture. In a world increasingly shaped by modernity, the conflicts between faith, doubt, obedience, and transformation have only grown more intricate. We also used Conclave as a lens to go meta, to reflect our journeys as long-term podcasters, examining our beliefs and evangelism over the past few years. 【买咖啡 Please Support Us】 如果喜欢这期节目并愿意想要给我们买杯咖啡: 海外用户:https://www.patreon.com/cyberpinkfm 海内用户:https://afdian.com/a/cyberpinkfm 商务合作邮箱:cyberpinkfm@gmail.com 商务合作微信:CyberPink2022 If you like our show and want to support us, please consider the following: Those Abroad: https://www.patreon.com/cyberpinkfm Those in China: https://afdian.com/a/cyberpinkfm Business Inquiries Email: cyberpinkfm@gmail.com Business Inquiries WeChat: CyberPink2022 【时间轴 The When】 00:00 — Conclave电影本影也没想到自己会因教皇方济各逝世而意外获得现实相关性,成为2025年最火的电影 03:50 — 现实中的美国出生的教宗Pope Leo XIV承认在真正的Conclave前也看了电影 04:40 — 什么是“Conclave”?拉丁语意为“上锁的房间”——一种自13世纪起流传至今的选教皇仪式 06:15 — 黑烟与白烟:那些宣布教皇当选的古老烟雾信号,也曾锁门限食以逼出结果 11:30 — 初观感:神秘又幽默,教廷政治竟然有点像校园食堂地缘政治问题?主角Lawrence像一个疲惫又需要收拾烂摊子的VP 19:13 — Lawrence想辞职,前任教皇说他是个“农场经理”而非“牧羊人”——讨论教皇制度管理与灵性角色的张力。疲惫娇娃进入meta状态,反思自己过去几年的信仰和布教 30:30 — 影片中Lawrence的一句台词引发共鸣:“确定性是团结的大敌,是宽容的死敌”——它如何映射当代的分裂与政治疲劳?疲惫娇娃继续meta 50:00 — 位关键女性角色:Sister Agnes,一个在结构之外但洞察深刻的“隐身者”。以及为什么我们要反复说女性角色 01:03:10 — 大结局讨论:一个意想不到的人选成为教皇,我们如何解读这个“神迹”。 00:00 — The film Conclave likely never expected to gain such sudden real-world relevance after the death of Pope Francis, becoming one of the most talked-about movies of 2025 03:50 — In real life, the newly elected U.S.-born Pope Leo XIV admitted he watched Conclave before the actual conclave took place 04:40 — What is a "Conclave"? The term comes from Latin, meaning “a locked room” — referring to the centuries-old papal election ritual that dates back to the 13th century 06:15 — Black smoke or white smoke: the ancient visual signals used to announce papal election results. In earlier centuries, cardinals were even locked in and given limited food to force a decision 11:30 — First impressions: the film is mysterious yet funny. The political dynamics of the Vatican strangely resemble cafeteria geopolitics. The main character, Lawrence, comes across like an exhausted VP cleaning up institutional messes 19:13 — Lawrence wants to resign. The previous Pope calls him a “farm manager” rather than a “shepherd” — sparking a discussion on the tension between institutional maintenance and spiritual leadership. The hosts go meta, reflecting on their own relationship to faith and public engagement in recent years 30:30 — A line from Lawrence resonates: “Certainty is the great enemy of unity, the deadly enemy of tolerance.” The hosts explore how this speaks to contemporary political polarization and collective fatigue — and continue the meta reflection 50:00 — A key female character is introduced: Sister Agnes, a perceptive “invisible” figure operating outside the official structure. The hosts dig into why they keep returning to the role of women in the film 01:03:10 — Final act discussion: an unexpected figure is elected Pope — how do we interpret this so-called “miracle”? 【拓展链接 The Links】 Inside the Politics of the Papal Conclave – The New York Times (May 4, 2025) How a Film About the Pope Became Reality – The New York Times (April 21, 2025) Campaigning for the Papacy?

In mid-April, CyberPink was invited to Tokyo Japan, to attend Star Wars Celebration! It was our first time at this iconic gathering of all fans across galaxies, but Star Wars Celebration has been around since the late 1990s. It's a testament to the multi-generational and organic nature of being a Star Wars fan, but also goes to show the commercial prowess of Disney (which acquired LucasFilm in 2012). This year's celebration in Japan was the largest in recent years and paid tribute to Japanese history and culture in many subtle ways. Your favorite gals got to join the press line and interview your favorite stars, but that's not all! In this episode, the gals who went spill the tea with the other gals on what exactly went down at Star Wars Celebration 2025. We talk about the evolving diversity of the Star Wars fanbase (and movies), the unique vibe and programming at the event, major announcements (New movies! New shows!

In today's episode, Todd and Mark dig into China's macroeconomic outlook in the wake of proposed new tariffs from Donald Trump and why Mark believes the country's 5% growth target remains achievable despite external pressure.The conversation explores Mark's recent columns, including “Is China's 5 Percent GDP Growth Credible?” He shares insights into the resilience of the Chinese economy, fiscal and monetary policy expectations, consumer confidence trends, and the ongoing property sector adjustment. Mark also weighs in on how Canada should navigate its own economic relationship with China during a time of rising global protectionism.Stay tuned for a sharp, timely conversation with one of the most thoughtful observers of China's economic evolution.Discussion Points:Why Trump's tariffs may not derail China's 5% GDP growth targetSigns of strength in China's Q1 economic dataThe resilience of Chinese consumer confidenceHow China's export profile is becoming more diversifiedPotential fiscal and monetary responses from Beijing to rising trade tensionsThe role of infrastructure investment and new manufacturing sectors in bolstering growthThe status and long-term management of China's property sectorCanada's strategic positioning in the context of US-China trade tensionsKey risks and tailwinds shaping China's medium-term economic outlookWhat foreign businesses should keep in mind when interpreting China's economic trajectory
I couldn't help myself. I mean, how American can you be? In fact, I do what I can when travelling to absorb culture and not compare to the American lifestyle. But I had to ask "Is the Chinese food in China the same as it is in the states?" The answer....listen to the podcast! I was completely taken by Emilie...She brings warmth to her perspective but at the same time, taking a firm position that is rooted in vast experience and educated conjecture. Emilie Steckenborn makes a living where most of us can only dream—at the intersection of wine, culture, and cutting-edge business in China's ever-evolving market. But don't let her youthful charm and “very strong Chinese accent” (as Paul jokes) fool you. Emilie is a polyglot insider who's spent over a decade breaking barriers in Shanghai, consulting for both airlines and luxury giants like LVMH, and unraveling the intricacies of food, wine, and social connection in the world's most populous country. You will come away from this episode with a front-row seat to Emilie's striking journey from Toronto to Asia's fine wine circles, and you'll learn how Western and Chinese culinary myths feed both perceptions and markets. She'll shed light on why most "Chinese food" in North America bears little resemblance to dishes in Beijing or Guangzhou, how social media platforms like Xiaohongshu change what's in your glass and on your plate, and why the Chinese DTC (direct-to-consumer) model leaves American wine buyers in the dust. You'll also get a candid look at the role of women in China's wine scene, why brand is king (or queen) from Yellowtail to Lafite, how fake wine scams erupt and vanish, and what it really takes to build—and protect—a luxury wine label in one of the world's most challenging markets. Emilie's passion for connection glues it all together, whether she's navigating bottles at 50-table banquets or forging authentic stories through her own "Bottled in China" podcast. Expect to leave with a new appreciation for the complexities of selling, sharing, and savoring wine across cultures—and the secrets behind the conversations that only a great glass can unlock. ✅ Ever wondered how wine, culture, and business blend together in China's booming scene? ✅ Host Paul Kalemkiarian sits down with Emilie Steckenborn—wine industry leader, podcast host, and all-around trailblazer—for a globe-spanning conversation you won't forget. ✅ From myth-busting Chinese cuisine to insider stories on luxury wine brands, social media's impact, and the secret sauce behind wine's magic, Wine Talks uncorks big ideas and bigger stories. ✅ Discover why wine isn't just a drink, but a bridge for connection and innovation—and why the next “aha moment” in your own wine journey might be just one sip away. Listen now to Wine Talks with Paul K! #WineTalks #WinePodcast #EmilieSteckenborn #PaulKalemkiarian #WineBusiness #BottledInChina #WineCulture
【疲惫广播 What's New】 上周疲惫娇娃的花酱和一芳受邀参加了在东京举办的星战盛典,请大家移步小红书看我们的精彩采访和现场直击! 《安多》第二季也即将开播!欢迎大家点这里回顾我们聊第一季的节目! 【聊了什么 The What】 「白莲花度假村」第三季是今年在美国极具文化影响力的一部剧集,由HBO出品,Mike White(麦克白)导演编剧并且制作。第三季将故事转移至泰国,铺垫了整整八集沉重气氛给天堂版的背景增添了一丝诡异和不详。北卡莱罗纳州Ratliff家族的表面光鲜与内里腐朽;Rick与Chelsea这对灵魂伴侣背后隐藏的深渊;三位闺蜜之间那微妙平衡的友谊和人生;第一季返场人物Belinda与Greg/Gary的命运再度交织;所有人物的结局都像一场精心设计的因果轮回。 在这个看似奢华的度假天堂里,每个人都被困在自己的身份牢笼中无法脱身。当暴力事件最终爆发,我们是否能从这些角色的命运中看到自己的影子?信仰的缺失是否就是现代人痛苦的根源?这部剧巧妙借鉴佛教寓言,融入业力、痛苦之源贪嗔痴等等概念,为观看的我们提供了一面审视自我的镜子。 这集播客小蓝和一芳请来朋友阿点一起聊聊这部让我们和全网观众欲罢不能的电视剧。 注意:本节目完全剧透!我们在讨论中尽量让没看过的听众也能听懂。如果你已经看过可以跳过梗概,如果还想看而且介意剧透建议收藏,之后再听。 本期嘉宾:阿点(欢迎订阅阿点的newsletter) "The White Lotus" Season 3 is one of the most culturally influential series this year, produced by HBO and directed, written, and produced by Mike White. The third season moves the story to Thailand, building up a heavy atmosphere over eight episodes that adds a touch of the strange and ominous to the paradise-like setting. The seemingly perfect but inwardly corrupt Ratliff family from North Carolina; the abyss hidden behind the "soulmate" relationship of Rick and Chelsea; the delicately balanced friendship and lives of three girlfriends; the intertwined destinies of Season 1 returning characters Belinda and Greg/Gary - all characters' endings seem like a carefully designed karmic cycle. Compared to the previous two seasons, the third season is more of a philosophical journey about identity, desire, and redemption, drawing on the director's own research and thinking about Buddhism, skillfully incorporating concepts such as karma and the three poisons (greed, anger, and delusion) into the plot, providing us with a mirror to examine modern society and human nature. In this podcast episode, Xiaolan and Yifang invite their friend Adian to discuss this TV series that has made us and viewers across the internet unable to stop watching. Note: This episode contains complete spoilers! We try to make our discussion understandable to listeners who haven't seen the show.

【聊了什么 The What】 「A Real Pain」是由我们很喜欢的杰西·艾森伯格(Jesse Eisenberg)编剧和导演的一部电影,讲述了两位性格迥异的表兄弟David(由艾森伯格饰演)和Benji(由基兰·卡尔金饰演)为纪念他们已故的祖母而一同前往波兰参加犹太传统之旅的故事。在波兰旅行期间,他们不仅探访祖母童年的家,还参观了华沙犹太区英雄纪念碑和马伊达内克集中营等历史遗迹。 这部电影像是一个隐形的视角,带着我们,跟堂兄弟俩一起走完了波兰黑暗之旅,电影中讨论了人的痛苦,或大或小,都同样真实——不仅是大屠杀的集体创伤,还有每个人无法消解的痛苦。 我们在这集播客聊了这部电影,以及几个女的如何思考和化解痛苦与创伤。 "A Real Pain" is a film written and directed by Jesse Eisenberg (who we kinda have crush on), telling the story of two cousins—David (played by Eisenberg) and Benji (played by Kieran Culkin)—who travel together to Poland on a Jewish heritage tour to honor their late grandmother. During their Polish journey, they visit their grandmother's childhood home and historical sites including the Warsaw Ghetto Heroes Monument and Majdanek concentration camp. The film offers an intimate perspective, following the cousins through Poland's “dark tour.” It explores how pain—whether monumental or mundane—is equally real for those experiencing it, addressing not only the collective trauma of the Holocaust but also each person's unresolvable individual suffering. In this episode, we discuss the film and how we, as women and friends, process and work through pain and trauma. 【买咖啡 Please Support Us】 如果喜欢这期节目并愿意想要给我们买杯咖啡: 海外用户:https://www.patreon.com/cyberpinkfm 海内用户:https://afdian.com/a/cyberpinkfm 商务合作邮箱:cyberpinkfm@gmail.com 商务合作微信:CyberPink2022 If you like our show and want to support us, please consider the following: Those Abroad: https://www.patreon.com/cyberpinkfm Those in China: https://afdian.com/a/cyberpinkfm Business Inquiries Email: cyberpinkfm@gmail.com Business Inquiries WeChat: CyberPink2022 【时间轴 The When】 00:01:00 电影介绍,这俩人演堂兄弟,证明我们在正确的宇宙次元 00:08:43 从一则弹窗广告被启发,到把"黑暗之旅"搬上银幕,这个电影可能是Jesse Eisenberg想了一辈子的故事 00:11:15 聊一聊集中营和火车的那段戏,PTSD,工业化屠杀 00:25:30 如何在巨大的犹太人屠杀的历史创伤中,理解个人的痛苦?从David和Benji中,转向我们对痛苦的理解 00:37:50 痛苦被倾诉后能不能被化解?这部电影是否有给我们一个答案 00:47:51 创伤叙事:国家主义和个人之间的冲突 00:01:00 Film introduction, these two actors playing cousins confirms we're in the right universe 00:08:43 From inspiration via a pop-up ad to bringing a "dark tourism" story to screen—this film may be the story Jesse Eisenberg has wanted to tell his entire life 00:11:15 Discussion of the concentration camp and train scenes, PTSD, and industrialized genocide 00:25:30 How to understand personal pain within the context of the enormous historical trauma of Jewish genocide?

【聊了什么 The What】 《影后》是一部深入探讨女性友谊、职场关系和娱乐圈现实的台湾剧集。通过几位不同年龄阶段女演员的视角,该剧以META的方式反映了台湾娱乐业的变迁与挑战。 这不只是一部简单的"宫斗剧",而是一部贴近现实的职场剧。剧中几位中年甚至老年女性角色的感情和人际关系发展,展现了人生不同阶段的成长可能性。薛亚之与周凡的关系打破了观众对角色与演员的刻板印象,也把女性之间嫉妒和爱并存的关系刻画的十分细腻。 我们聊到了从琼瑶剧到偶像剧再到现代台剧,这些不同时期的台湾影视作品如何塑造了我们对爱情和生活的理解。《影后》作为新一代台剧,不只讲述了演艺圈的故事,也折射出社会对女性期望的变化,成为台湾文化界照见自己的一面镜子。 “Born for the Spotlight” is a Taiwanese drama series that deeply explores female friendships, workplace relationships, and the realities of the entertainment industry. Through the perspectives of actresses at different age stages, the series reflects the changes and challenges of Taiwan's entertainment industry in a meta way. This isn't just a simple "palace drama," but a workplace drama that closely mirrors reality. The emotional and interpersonal relationship development of several middle-aged and even elderly female characters in the show demonstrates the possibilities for growth at different stages of life. The relationship between Xue Yazhi and Zhou Fan breaks viewers' stereotypes about characters and actresses, and also portrays the coexistence of jealousy and love between women with great subtlety. We discussed how Taiwanese media from different periods—from Chiung Yao dramas to idol dramas to modern Taiwanese series—have shaped our understanding of love and life. "The Actress," as a new generation of Taiwanese drama, not only tells the story of the entertainment industry but also reflects changing societal expectations of women, becoming a mirror for Taiwan's cultural industry to see itself. 【本期嘉宾 Guest】 东尼,行星酒馆主播(一个在动荡时代里,分享离散故事的华语播客。) 【五月天购票链接】 今年3月29日,五月天成团25周年“回到那一天”演唱会将登陆拉斯维加斯忠实体育场(Allegiant Stadium)。这是五月天北美巡演的唯一一场,请记住,是唯一一场,也是华语歌手在北美开唱的最大规模和最高规格。演出将斥资千万美金打造,从巨型五球华丽舞美,到环场巴士,带你体验原汁原味的五月天魅力。 3月29日这个日子也很特别,是五月天正式成军的纪念日。从七号公园初次登场的那个三月,到拉斯维加斯五万人共享的星空,我们一起坐上时光机,穿越回忆任意门,体验一趟精彩万分的旅程,回到属于你和五月天的那一天。 无论你来自哪个国家,无论你是听着五月天歌长大的老粉,还是刚刚喜欢上他们音乐的新粉,这场演唱会,都不容错过。 请访问iemshowplace.com或Ticketmaster,或点击这个链接购票锁定席位: 购票链接:点击这里 VIP套餐还包含专属观赏区、快速通道和限量纪念礼包,值得收藏。 加入五月天,永远不会太迟。 【买咖啡 Please Support Us】 如果喜欢这期节目并愿意想要给我们买杯咖啡: 海外用户:https://www.patreon.com/cyberpinkfm 海内用户:https://afdian.com/a/cyberpinkfm 商务合作邮箱:cyberpinkfm@gmail.com 商务合作微信:CyberPink2022 If you like our show and want to support us, please consider the following: Those Abroad: https://www.patreon.com/cyberpinkfm Those in China: https://afdian.com/a/cyberpinkfm Business Inquiries Email: cyberpinkfm@gmail.com Business Inquiries WeChat: CyberPink2022 【时间轴 The When】 00:03:54《影后》如何处理群像,一个松散的女演员”圈子“ 00:11:20 胖姐为什么戳中了我们的泪点 00:13:48 柯丽芬和TB迟来的道歉和原谅 00:22:28 周凡和薛亚之之间不被行业和社会支持的非性缘共生关系 00:34:10 欧美和东亚女演员的“角斗场” 00:35:06 史爱玛的性格刻画的好吗?她的问题是太年轻太想要吗? 00:45:26 《影后》又新又旧的感情和婚姻观念 00:51:33 台湾娱乐的文化产品怎么养大了我们,构筑了我们的感情观 00:58:50 大S去世与我们摄入信息时代的变迁 01:05:35 新的时代让我们获得了什么、失去了什么 01:07:58 大小S以及台娱“又新又旧”的黄金时代 00:03:54 How "Born into the spotlight" handles its ensemble cast, a loose "circle" of female actresses 00:11:20 Why the "pangjie" character touched our heartstrings 00:13:48 Ke Lifen and TB's belated apology and forgiveness 00:22:28 The non-sexual symbiotic relationship between Zhou Fan and Xue Yazhi that isn't supported by the industry or society 00:34:10 The "arena" for Western and East Asian actresses 00:35:06 Is Shi Aima's character well-portrayed?

Sometimes, after a long day speaking English, former WBUR podcast fellow Cici Yu just wants to zone out and spend time on the internet where everyone is speaking her native language, Chinese. Her app of choice? Xiaohongshu, or RedNote. So, when Cici logged on recently to find a feed filled with English-speaking Americans, she was surprised. Show notes: "The great social media migration: Sudden influx of US users to RedNote connects Chinese and Americans like never before" (CNN) "More speech and fewer mistakes" (Meta) "Instagram hides search results for 'Democrats'" (BBC) "Instagram and Facebook Blocked and Hid Abortion Pill Providers' Posts" (The New York Times) Credits: This episode was produced by Grace Tatter.

This week as we enter the Year of the Snake, Sinica co-founder Jeremy Goldkorn makes a re-appearance on the show. It's been a year since his last, and much has changed — and indeed, if Jeremy is right, we may be at an inflection point in American attitudes toward China. With the "TikTok Refugees" on Xiaohongshu or "RedNote" taking in a view of China that contrasts starkly with the image presented by the U.S. Government and by many American media outlets, and with DeepSeek now having upended some ideas about American tech primacy, the "vibes" on China among young people seem to have changed for the better. Will it endure? Jeremy and I plunge into that question on this week's episode of the Sinica Podcast.2:55 – What Jeremy has been up to lately 4:19 – What has been driving the recent narrative/vibe shift in China discourse in the U.S., and why human rights rhetoric around Xinjiang has died down 14:11 – Whether the narrative/vibe shift will be long-lasting and the role of young people in driving it 23:06 – Predictions for future changes within China29:40 – The concern that the narrative/vibe shift could go too far, or that the copium will overwhelm the positive of the shift 33:24 – Previous narrative shifts around freedom of speech, the internet, and China, and technological innovation 43:57 – What recent developments reveal about Chinese soft power, and Jeremy's predictions for how everything will play out 49:34 – Whether the narrative/vibe shift will change how American politicians talk about China, and the Chinese government has reacted to the shift so farPaying It Forward: Savannah Billman's Career China email newsletter Recommendations:Jeremy: Paul Cooper's Fall of Civilizations podcast series; David Kidd's Peking Story: The Last Days of Old China; and The 404's podcast interview with a PornHub exec (which includes discussion of real-name registration requirements) Kaiser: The TV miniseries American Primeval (2025) on Netflix; and Paul Triolo's Substack See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
“I put my effort into building trust, showing up, and being present for people who have opted into my universe.” A slight paraphrase of Jennie NashOn the day we recorded this episode, no one really knew what was going to happen to TikTok (Jess thinks it's going away, everyone else doubts her) and Sarina was attempting to manage all the emails from people asking her why she was promoting businesses on The Place Formerly Known as Twitter (she wasn't, she quit that app and someone promptly squatted on her name, pretended to be her and began promoting for-profit businesses). What do we do when we can't trust the people in our social media circles to be who they say they are and what is the future of social media as a whole? We discuss these and many other questions. Things we talk about:“I'd rather be taken than be hard” Sarina quoted this via “a pastor,” and search as I may, I can't find an attribution. We discuss the sentiment. The OpEd Project founded by Katie OrensteinMighty NetworksI called it the “red square app” but it's actually the Red Note app or “Xiaohongshu” and as of this writing, is still the top free app in the Apple store. Here's an explainer on the app from NPR. This is a public episode. If you'd like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit amwriting.substack.com/subscribe
The buzz around Xiaohongshu and then DeepSeek has had an unusually high volume of westerners speaking positively about China for the last couple of weeks, which of course means we're also seeing many westerners falling all over themselves to say "Well actually China is actually quite bad actually" in response. Reading by Tim Foley.
TikTok's uncertain future has driven a flood of users to a fully Chinese social media app full of opportunities for genuine cultural exchange. And it's given fresh fodder for proponents of a decentralized social media ecosystem known as the fediverse. This episode was produced by Travis Larchuk, edited by Jolie Myers, fact-checked by Laura Bullard, engineered by Patrick Boyd and Rob Byers, and hosted by Sean Rameswaram.

I wanted to put this out quickly as it's one of those rare, news-pegged episodes of the show. The full show notes and transcript will be available later this week. I know I'd said last time there would be no show this week, but that was before this fascinating episode involving TikTok users signing up en masse to Xiaohongshu. Hilarity ensued, and my two guests — Ivy Yang, who runs Wavelet Strategy, an expert in cross-cultural communication, and David Fishman, Shanghai-based senior manager at Lantau Group who specializes in the Chinese energy sector and writes wonderfully about his excursions into the Chinese countryside. They've both been following this fascinating episode closely and have really smart things to say, so enjoy!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

TikTok may soon be banned in the United States due to its China ties, but some users are now migrating to a platform even more strongly linked to China's communist regime. The case with TikTok is now in the hands of the Supreme Court, which is weighing the constitutionality of banning the video app unless its China-based owner, ByteDance, sells it off. It appears the ban is likely to be upheld, and some TikTok users have been jumping to another platform that's even more Chinese—RedNote. Technically, the name is Xiaohongshu, which is Mandarin for “Little Red Book”—as in the teachings of former CCP leader Mao Zedong.In other news, TikTok may be just the first of many such companies that could be forced to either sell or get banned in the United States. The U.S. Department of Defense recently listed Tencent as a Chinese military company, and this could also have broad implications for tech and entertainment. Tencent owns the messaging app WeChat and has also been buying up large swaths of companies in the video game market—including many of the most popular games currently available. With the new designation, and with the passage of some recent U.S. laws, Tencent could soon go the way of TikTok.

【聊了什么 The What】 2024年初,日本记者伊藤诗织发布的纪录片《黑箱日记》以其私密的镜头语言和坦诚的叙事方式,记录了她从2015年遭遇性侵,到2017年实名举报,再到近年来推动日本性暴力相关法律变革的漫长历程。这部纪录片不仅是一份个人的创伤记录,更是对日本社会性别议题的深度剖析:警方的敷衍了事,媒体的冷漠反应,路人对受害者的污名化,和伊藤诗织站出来为自己和更多沉默者发声的巨大勇气。 这期节目中,小蓝与嘉宾探讨了这部纪录片所呈现的复杂现实:一个女性记者如何在追求新闻专业主义的同时,不得不把自己的创伤经历变成公共讨论的一部分;为什么在日本这样的民主社会,年轻女性却如此缺席性别议题的公共讨论;以及在整个东亚地区,女权运动如何在各自的政治文化背景下寻找突破。从警察机构到司法体系,从传统媒体到新媒体平台,从个人抗争到集体行动——,我们如何在时代的重重局限下突出重围,追求系统性变革的可能? In early 2024, Japanese journalist Shiori Ito released her documentary "Black Box Diaries," which uses intimate cinematography and candid storytelling to chronicle her long journey: from experiencing sexual assault in 2015, to publicly reporting it in 2017, and her subsequent efforts to reform Japan's sexual violence laws in the following years. The documentary is not just a personal record, but also a deep analysis of gender issues in Japanese society - showing the police's perfunctory handling of her case, the media's indifferent response, public stigmatization of victims, and Ito's immense courage in speaking up for herself and other silent survivors. The episode features discussions between Xiaolan and guests about the complex realities presented in the documentary: how a female journalist must balance professional journalism while being forced to turn her traumatic experience into part of public discourse; why young women are so notably absent from public discussions of gender issues in a democratic society like Japan; and how feminist movements across East Asia navigate breakthroughs within their respective political and cultural contexts. From law enforcement to the judicial system, from traditional media to new media platforms, from individual resistance to collective action - how can we break through the limitations of our time to pursue systemic change? 【参与人员 The Who】 小蓝:疲惫娇娃主播、媒体工作者 弦子:女性主义者、发声者、写作者 兆音:调查记者、BBC纪录片“追查「痴汉」——谁在售卖日本性侵偷拍影片”制作人 林珊:珊越拾穗的主播、科尔比学院访问助理教授 Xiaolan: Host of CyberPink, media professional Xianzi: Feminist activist, writer Zhaoyin: Investigative journalist, producer of the BBC documentary "Catching a Pervert: Sexual Assault for Sale" Lin Shan: Host of "Shan Yue Shi Sui," visiting Assistant Professor at Colby College 【时间轴 The When】 00:00:58 《黑箱日记》的故事背景 13:47 伊藤的记者与性侵幸存者双重身份 20:57 纪录片中最私密的时刻:用镜头记录自己的创伤 41:05 日本社会的性别困境:为什么支持伊藤的多是年长女性?**更正:日本学运发生在60年代末 * 52:12 记者作为性暴力受害者 01:11:38 日本的政治冷感与女权运动 01:21:39 从个案到制度:日本性暴力相关法律的变迁与局限 01:30:44 东亚女性的共同命运:如何在父权制度下寻找发声与改变的可能 00:00:58 The story behind "Black Box Diaries" 13:47 Meeting Ito: the journalist and the survivor 20:57 The intimacy of documenting your own trauma 41:05 Japan's gender problem: Why are Ito's supporters mostly older women?* *Correction: the Japanese university student protests happened in the late 1960s * 52:12 Journalists as survivors 01:11:38 Political apathy and the unique path of feminist movements in Japan 01:21:39 Driving systemic change: The evolution of Japan's sexual violence laws 01:30:44 Finding our voice under east asian patriarchy 【拓展链接 The Links】 寫在日本《刑法》性犯罪修正案與《同志法案》通過之後 https://changyuchieh.com/2023/06/16/gay-law/ BBC紀錄片:追查「癡漢」——誰在售賣中國日本性侵偷拍影片- BBC News 中文 抓住那个“痴汉”文章 BBC纪录片《猎食者:日本流行音乐的秘密丑闻》 法庭外的12小時,弦子訴朱軍案開庭首日 文章 神圣无花果之种 电影 Girls Will Be Girls 电影 【疲惫红书 CyberRed】 除了播客以外,疲惫娇娃的几个女的在小红书上开了官方账号,我们会不定期发布【疲惫在读】、【疲惫在看】、【疲惫旅行】、【疲惫Vlog】等等更加轻盈、好玩、实验性质的内容。如果你想知道除了播客以外我们在关注什么,快来小红书评论区和我们互动。 Apart from the podcast, we have set up an official account on Xiaohongshu.
