0As May draws to a close, June is coming with its first holiday-- Children's Day.
In today’s podcast, our newsroom members will travel back to our childhood by a time machine to recall that unique time by sharing our childhood stories with you.
Speakers: Amy 叶维嘉 虾虾 康康 西西 Chloe
01:45 What would you do on “6.1”?
Almost all the girls had memorable and funny experiences of performing on stage at that time. Amy once woke up at 4 am to do makeup for her Latin dance performance when she was 12; Xi Xi bled her knees on the carpet while she was performing with all her might ; Xia Xia used to be the leading light in the dance team and once fell on the slippy stage; Chloe hit her little brother by mistake when he came to deliver the “hah da” during her singing performance, and he hit her back in the full view of the public.
For Amy and Xia Xia, patronizing business of each other's best friends at the flea market was also a fun activity in childhood.
The extra holidays and activities on Children's Day were the most enjoyable thing for every child. Ye can do whatever he wants during the extra half-day holiday, Chloe would go outing with her friends during the two-day in her tradition. Kang Kang used to get extra pocket money from her mom due to the office’s bonus on Children’s Day.
09:55 Most unforgettable childhood playmate?
Chloe's most memorable childhood friend was a girl who had a divorced family, in that girl’s confession, Chloe was her only friend. They two lost contact after graduation, but Chloe will cherish the friendship more if they meet again.
Xia Xia once had a close playmate who was very good at arts activities, and they used to live together for 6 years.
Ye told an interesting story of he and his childhood friend, in which he stood out to prove his friend's innocence in an examination.
Amy used to make lists that summarize their similarities with her best friend, and they had a memorable friendship that hasn't lasted.
Xi Xi used to had a lot of playmates in elementary school and had good relationships with almost everyone, but there was no one she remembered the most.
Kang Kang says she actually doesn't remember any of her friends before middle school and has learned to build longer-term relationships with people since then. As a life lesson, she has tried to keep in touch with all her friends after middle school.
29:14 Do you still keep the old hobby?
Almost everyone still enjoys their childhood hobbies.
As a Barbie fanatic, Xia Xia still likes to watch Barbie movies now.
Amy, Chloe and Kang Kang also keep their hobby of reading books.
Ye has always loved sports and recalls how he would watch WWE, a wrestling program, with his classmates and practiced wrestling skill with them. Every time he looks back on this time, he feels happy.
43:32 How do you recall your childhood?
What does it mean to you?
For Amy, childhood is a utopia of memories without worries. When she feels sad, she sometimes look through the photos of her childhood and take a look at the one who’s always smiling among all.
According to Xia Xia, her carefree childhood will always be the pure joy in her mind. She brought her journals, which she kept from elementary school to high school, to her college. Whenever she feels pressure, she reads her journals to regain energy.
Chloe often dreams about the scenery she saw in the countryside with her friends, and the smell of the woods in that forest still can be felt. Those memories about exploring the nature with her friends, like a little adventurer, made her life worth savoring. Eventually, childhood memories became a invisible tie that still connects her out-of-touch friends.
Ye says that his childhood is just an inevitable life experience. The time his father forced him to watch the news broadcast every day is what he considered unique that shaped part of himself, defined who he is.
Xi Xi also believes that childhood is an indispensable life experience, but she doesn’t think that her childhood played a part in shaping her. Therefore, she regrets a lot about those days.
For Kang Kang, she says her childhood experiences have largely shaped her current personality. Without many friends in her childhood, she has developed a more introverted personality and is used to loneliness.
56:18 Words to your childhood self.
这一部分要不直接就放中文和小时候的照片？有点子难翻译。
Amy: 希望你珍惜那段时光～知道每一缕种子，每一缕清风，也知道早起播种和御风而行。
Xia Xia：上舞蹈课老师要让你劈横叉的时候不要再假装自己韧带撕裂了。
Xi Xi: 多跟亲近过的朋友保持联系吧！
Chloe: 未来不是一帆风顺，但是仍然值得期待。/ 你埋在地里的时光机没有被人发现，信可能已经烂了。
Ye: (玩摔跤没关系，别老磕了碰了。这玩滑板也可以，别老被井盖掀翻了。消毒的时候是挺难受的。背单词，背古文，背不下来的时候也没事儿，成绩不好没关系，会好起来的。好好活着最重要。
Kang Kang：我很爱你 I love you~
Clock ticks away, the dimension of time heightening our hight, aging our age, now cherish childhood, as a way to cherish the very innocence of your life and very purity of your time.
Happy Children's Day!
