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 into the childhood of 巴德·舒尔伯格, a celebrated writer who grew up between the warm encouragement of his mother and the strict criticism of his father. At just eight or nine years old, he wrote his first poem, sparking a moment of pride and excitement. His mother’s glowing praise—“精彩极了！”—filled him with confidence, while his father’s harsh critique—“糟糕透了！”—brought him back to reality.
