Alice put Jeffrey into a story and tried to see how he would react in the scenario. Can he survive?
Finally, the Polymeron is back! Um, yeah, sorry for disappearing. In our first episode of season two, we'll be looking a story of two best friends 管寧 and 華歆. Let's see what strange case they encountered together!
Today we will talk about the most famous figure in this book, 王藍田, Mr. Wang, and his wild manner!
The lives of 顧榮 and his "friend" were changed in a barbecue banquet. This is how it happened.
Visiting a friend sometimes can be really tiring, but nothing is going to stop our Mr. Wang.
This week and next week we'll be looking at two prodigy stories in 世說新語. But this week we have a sad story, so..., yeah. Not every story is a happy story, sorry.
We are going to begin our journey with this story about 曹操, Cao Cao. He was a complicated person, or rather, a character in people's hearts. So what did he do this time?
《世說新語》 "A New Account of the Tales of the World" is a famous stories collection, not only for its literary value but also for the peculiarity in its stories. What does that mean? Wait until you listen to them.

Welcome to our first episode! Alright, so basically, we are two students in Taiwan that want to tell you guys the famous, and some quite strange, stories in Chinese history. We recorded this introduction way back in the summertime, so we might have been a little too serious. But trust me, things will be fun! It is really just a story, and a little culture, sharing-podcast, nothing more. So, enojy! (And also we have Twitter now!)
