LCTS
About this episode

Dear listeners,

Last year, we created an episode that revolved around a single Hanzi to capture the essence of 2021. The episode resonated with our listeners and became one of our most downloaded episodes of the year.

This year, we are thrilled to present seven individuals from diverse backgrounds, including students, young professionals, moms, and retirees. They will share their words of the year for 2022 with you. We were deeply moved by their heartfelt responses and unique perspectives.

The most commonly mentioned words were "time flies," "luck," "pain," "virus," "busy," "poor," "good," and "dream." We appreciate the candor of our guests and hope that their words inspire you in the year to come.

We realize that we are already in March, but we are still interested in hearing your phrase or word for 2022. We look forward to hearing from you.

Warm regards,

Rui and Simeng
