Last week, I shared the story of The Orphan of Zhao—a dramatic legend about the destruction of a powerful family and the long, difficult path toward justice. In next week’s episode, I want to share a deeper reflection on this. We’ll look closer at the character of Cheng Ying, and why his "quiet endurance" has stayed in people’s hearts for centuries. His story invites us to rethink what bravery really looks like. Is it always a grand action? Or can it exist in patience, loyalty, and silent sacrifice? -- Hosting provided by SoundOn

C#64 程嬰的二十年沉默與堅持 | 《趙氏孤兒》 [not-audio_url] [/not-audio_url]

Duration: 9:57
很多人聽到《趙氏孤兒》這個故事時，第一個想到的是「復仇」。故事到最後，趙家的後代長大成人，為家族報仇。這樣的情節確實很戲劇化，也很容易吸引讀者的注意。但是對我來說，故事裡最讓我感動的，其實不是復仇，而是「承諾」。 ✍️ Join my Study Guide subscribers and keep learning with me! https://ko-fi.com/summary/1ba09790-2552-449c-b4ef-0…

Duration: 9:33
中秋節的時候，在台灣，我們很習慣一邊吃著月餅，一邊抬頭看月亮。小時候，大人會跟我們說，月亮上有一棵桂樹，還有一個人一直在砍樹，那個人叫吳剛。長大之後，我偶爾還是會看著月亮。只是有一天，我突然有一個不一樣的想法：如果有一天，吳剛不再揮動他的斧頭，會發生什麼事呢？ ✍️ Join my Study Guide subscribers and keep learning with me! https://ko-fi.com/summary/1…

Duration: 10:47
不知道你是不是偶爾會抬頭看看天上的月亮？如果你有留意的話，你可能會發現月亮上是有陰影的，而且陰影還會動呢。有些人說，那看起來像是一棵巨大的樹，而樹下總有一個人影在不停地揮動斧頭。那個人，就是吳剛。下一集，我想帶大家大膽想像一下：當吳剛停下來的那一刻，是不是才是奇蹟真正開始的時候呢 我們下一集見! ✍️ Join my Study Guide subscribers and keep learning with me! https://k…
