2.3.26A《永远的西瓜》Story

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.

In today's episode, we journey with renowned author Liang Xiaosheng into a summer memory.

On a blazing hot day, our storyteller brings home a watermelon from the market, only to find it's a "爆炸瓜" – an overripe melon. Planning to throw it away, he's stopped by his wife's excitement. She recalls her childhood, a time of scarcity, where such melons were a rare and cherished treat.

Tune in to discover how a seemingly spoiled fruit can hold the sweetest of memories.
