About this episode

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, we bring you the timeless tale of 阿诗玛, a story of love, resilience, and sacrifice set in the breathtaking landscapes of Yunnan. 阿诗玛, a beautiful and talented young woman, grows up in a humble family, her voice and spirit captivating all who meet her. Her love story with the brave and skilled 阿黑 blossoms amidst challenges, but their happiness is short-lived. When a powerful landlord's son sets his sights on 阿诗玛, her life takes a dramatic turn. What follows is a tale of courage, loyalty, and the unyielding fight for love and justice.

Join us as we explore the beauty and tragedy of 阿诗玛’s journey, and discover why her voice still echoes in the stone forests of Yunnan.

Special thanks to 杜雁子老师, our wonderful cohost for this episode, whose insights and storytelling bring this tale to life.
