EP. 8 Cherry Blossom and Matcha, a Chinese Origin?

Every spring, social media fills up with cherry blossom photos — and a familiar argument: "Did you know cherry blossoms actually originated in China?" Same goes for matcha. But does origin really equal ownership? And while we're busy claiming credit for what others have built, what about the incredible cultural stories we haven't told yet? 每到春天，樱花刷屏的同时，总有人跳出来说"樱花其实起源于中国"。抹茶也一样。但起源真的等于归属吗？与其争夺别人已经发扬光大的东西，我们自己的文化故事，又讲了多少？

EP. 5 Trouble Next Door: The Beijing-Tokyo Friction

China and Japan are close neighbours, yet we have a very complicated relationship. The recent political dispute between the two countries has definitely made headlines in Asia. However, this episode focuses on the influences on Chinese society beyond the diplomatic war. I would also like to take this opportunity to highlight a chapter of history that is often overlooked in the West, raising awareness and reminding people not to forget about it. Only then can we move forward together towards a future of peace. 中日两国虽是近邻，关系却异常复杂。近期两国间的政治争端无疑成为亚洲头条新闻。然而本期节目将聚焦于这场外交战之外对中国社会产生的影响。我亦借此契机讲述一段在西方世界常被忽视的历史篇章，唤起人们的关注与记忆，切勿遗忘这段往事。唯有如此，我们才能携手迈向和平的未来。
