About this listen

LCTS creates authentic, immersive, and comprehensible Chinese content to help learners worldwide enhance their language skills, stay motivated and connected, and ultimately live a more joyful and fulfilling life through language learning. It covers a wide range of topics and proficiency levels(Novice, Intermediate, Advanced). Every story has two parts: story (A) and story explanation (B), accompanied by annotated vocabulary and transcript. For example, an episode titled "2.3.12 A" means this episode is at the level of Intermediate High (2.3), is the 12th episode created for this level, and is the story, not story explanation. You can also read along with the stories and explanations by becoming our patrons. https://www.patreon.com/learningchinesethroughstories2021 © LCTS Language Learning Personal Development Personal Success

  • 2.3.31B《隐形的城市》Story Walkthrough
    Apr 22 2025

    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 story of 王磊, a programmer who came to Beijing three years ago, full of hope and ambition. Like many in the bustling city, his days were a blur of crowded subway rides, late-night work, and a seemingly endless cycle of routine.

    But one fateful evening, when his phone unexpectedly broke, he was forced to pause—and in that pause, he began to truly see the city around him.

    We’d love to hear your thoughts! Share your comments and let us know how this story resonates with you.
