二零二四年九月，茶歇中文的公司 ”茶報" (TeaTimedia ltd.) 正式在香港成立。从此，我们立志，要成为无政治偏见的中文新闻媒体。我们的口号是：实事求是。
In September 2024, TeaTime Chinese’s company, "茶报" (TeaTimedia Ltd.), was officially established in Hong Kong. From that point onward, we are determined to become an unbiased Chinese news media outlet, free from political prejudice. Our motto: Quest for Truth.
茶報创刊词
今日盛行的中文媒体，非黑即白，非是即非，政治偏见两极化。在茶報，我们另辟蹊径：坚持自己的主张，弘扬自由的言论。我们背后没有任何政治党派，没有人限制我们的三寸不烂之舌。即便与主流媒体背道而驰，我们也要探索真相，追求真理。我们诚邀您加入我们的大冒险，用一个一个故事讲述今天的中国，今天的世界。
TeaTime Manifesto
Today's Chinese media is trapped in a binary discourse—either black or white, right or wrong—its political stance starkly polarized. At TeaTimedia, we refuse to be confined by these boundaries. We carve out a new path: standing firm with our independent perspective and upholding the freedom of expression. We are free from the chains of any political party, and no one can bind our tongue nor muzzle our voice. Even if our views clash with the mainstream, we are determined to pursue the truth and uncover reality. Join us on this adventure, as we explore the rich, multifaceted world of China—one story at a time.

时隔一个月，茶歇中文播客又回来了。最近，我完成了学校的考试，搬了家... 所以没能即使更新播客。希望大家理解。
今天，在欧美各大学校里，我们都能看见中国留学生的影子。自从1872年清朝政府派遣 “留美幼童” 前往海外留学以来，中国学生对外国院校一直有挥之不去的憧憬。今天，中国学生为什么选择出国留学？毕业之后，他们又何去何从？
After one month's break, TeaTime Chinese is back. Recently, I finished all of my exams at school. I also moved to a new place… which led to my unpunctual update of the podcast. I thank you for your understanding.
Nowadays, in major schools and universities in Europe and America, it's commonplace to see Chinese students. Since the Qing Dynasty sent the first group of young children to America for study, Chinese students have always been fascinated by educational institutions of the West. Today, why do Chinese students choose to study abroad? After graduation, what will their choices be?

冷战期间，美国和苏联两个大国比赛，谁有更好的火箭，谁能把人送上太空？刚刚成立的新中国虽然面临很多社会问题，但是也开始了自己的航天计划。从第一个火箭到第一个卫星，再到第一个去太空的中国人... … 中国人实现了 “飞天” 的梦想，把神话变成了现实。
During the Cold War, the United States and the Soviet Union competed to see who would have the better rocket and who could send people into space. The newly founded People's Republic of China, despite being faced with many social problems, also started its own space program. From the first rocket to the first satellite, to the first Chinese man in space... Chinese people realized their dream of "flying to the sky" and turned the myth into reality.

你能相信吗？这是《茶歇中文播客》第一次给大家介绍 “茶文化”。4000多年前，神农在尝试各种植物时中毒，吃了茶叶之后，恢复健康。从此，人们开始喝茶。在中国，“荼” 和 “茶” 字通用，在不同地区有不同的发音。唐朝以来，喝茶成为中国人的习惯。再后来，茶去了亚洲别的国家，还去了欧洲。欧洲人把茶叶看作是很珍贵的饮料。在今天的中国，年轻人越来越喜欢喝咖啡。茶渐渐地以奶茶的形式进入年轻人的生活。
Can you believe that? This is the first time that we talk about "tea culture" at TeaTime Chinese. 4,000 years ago, Shennong was poisoned whilst he was tasting different herbs. After accidentally eating tea leaves, he recovered from poisoning. From then on, people started drinking tea. In China, "Tu" and "Cha" are interchangeable, and are pronounced differently in different regions. Since the Tang Dynasty, drinking tea has become a daily habit for the Chinese people. Later on, tea went to other Asian countries, before it went to Europe. In Europe, people saw tea as a precious beverage. Today, young Chinese people have a preference for coffee. Tea remains in young people's lives in the form of milk tea.

2023年11月29日，美国政治家，外交官基辛格去世，享年100岁。习近平说：他是中国人民的老朋友。他1971年两次秘密访华，为 “尼克松访华” 做铺垫。多年来，他呼吁中美和平共处，成为中美友谊的象征。不过，很多人对他褒贬不一，最大的因素就是他在越南战争中指导的对柬埔寨的轰炸。今天，我们就来看看基辛格的一生。
On November 29th, 2023, American politician, diplomat Henry Kissinger passed away at the age of 100. Xi Jinping said that: He (Kissinger) is an old friend of the Chinese people. His two secret visits to China paved the way for Nixon's visit. Along the many years, he advocated for China and America to coexist peacefully. He has become the symbol of Sino-US friendship. However, many people remain critical of him, the biggest factor being that he directed "secret bombings" in Cambodia in the Vietnam War. Today, let's look at Henry Kissinger's life.

2022年，中国60多年来第一次人口减少。2023年，中国经济增长减缓。人口问题成为国内外人们关注的焦点。
80年代，改革开放开始。中国庞大的人口吸引了各大外国公司前来建造工厂。“中国制造” 的产品流通于世界的各个角落。经济飞速增长，人们的口袋里有钱了。外国公司又努力在中国市场占据一席之地。
1979年，中国推行一孩政策，限制每个家庭最多只有一个孩子。之后的三十年，人口增长减缓。一个很大的问题出现了，就是人口老龄化。老年人的比重越来多大，给国家的经济带来压力，也给年轻人的生活带来影响。不少年轻人晚婚。有的拒绝结婚。中国的人口问题今后将面临更大的挑战。
In 2022, China's population decreased for the first time in more than 60 years. In 2023, China's economic growth slows down. Population problems have become the focus of attention at home and abroad.
In the 1980s, reform and opening up began. China's huge population attracted major foreign companies to build factories. Products "Made in China" are distributed in every corner of the world. The economy is growing rapidly and people have money in their pockets. Foreign companies are again trying to gain a foothold in the Chinese market.
In 1979, China implemented the one-child policy, limiting each family to a maximum of one child. Over the next three decades, population growth slowed. A big problem has emerged, that is, the aging of the population. The proportion of the elderly is increasing, putting pressure on the country's economy and affecting the lives of young people. Many young people marry late. Some refuse to get married. China's population problem will face greater challenges in the future.

学生时代，每天上学前，跟家人吃早饭给我留下美好的回忆。“四大金刚”，生煎包都是上海人餐桌上少不了的食物。今天，传统的早餐越来越少了。外地人来上海开餐馆，带来他们的食物。麦当劳，肯德基开始做中国菜。国际化大都市的身份下，上海人传统的生活方式正在慢慢消失。
In my childhood and adolescent years, having breakfast with my family before going to school is a precious memory. The "4 King Kongs" and Shengjian are must-haves on the breakfast table of Shanghainese. Today, traditional breakfasts are hard to find. People from other provinces come to Shanghai and bring with them their own food culture. McDonald's and KFC also started making Chinese food. Under the identity of metropolitan citizens, the traditional Shanghainese way of living is fading.
