Based on the novel by Ma Boyong. About a low level government accountant who gets assigned a task that is damn-near impossible: to bring fresh lychees from Lingnan to Chang'An by June 1st for the main concubine's birthday celebration. Two hours long, first hour went by pretty quickly, well-paced, well-produced. Upcoming movie is 731, all about the Japanese bio-facility that did some bad things its subjects, including Chinese. *** Membership program: https://buymeacoffee.com/stevenslanguagevlog Transcripts here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1-sDW4HyeAH9PssJp8kE6XWQduAHOXj7n?usp=sharing Contact: m.mtrbio.com/stevenslanguagevlog Time stamps: 00:00 Introduction and Podcast Overview 00:45 Language Learning Journey: Mandarin and Russian 03:37 AI Agents and Language Learning 07:18 Changping Videos and Neighborhood Insights 12:59 Chinese Study Resources 30:58 AI Agents for Language Studies 36:57 Movie Review: The Lychees of ChangAn 40:39 Conclusion and Final Thoughts
