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! Have you ever found yourself in a similar situation?
