3.3.28B《逃出美容院后》 Story Walkthrough
Sunday, 17 August, 2025
Welcome to 听故事说中文, the podcast where stories come alive to help you improve your Chinese language proficiency and cultural competency. Today’s episode takes us on a journey that starts with a simple metro station drop-off and spirals into an unexpected encounter with the world of beauty salons. Our storyteller shares a vivid and relatable experience of being drawn into a sales pitch, navigating the fine line between politeness and personal boundaries, and reflecting on the subtle ways external opinions can shape our self-perception. Along the way, we’ll explore themes of societal beauty standards, consumer psychology, and the art of saying “no” in a culture that values harmony. As always, we’d love to hear your thoughts!
