Ep 2: The Umbrella on a Rainy Day 《雨天的伞》
From Slow Chinese With Janie · 00:18:43
Show by Janie Jiang
It's Friday, 5 PM — and suddenly, a huge rainstorm. Xiao Li (Grandma Zhang's neighbor, from Ep 1) is leaving the hospital where he works when he sees an old man, completely soaked, hugging a bag of medicine for his wife. Xiao Li gives the stranger his umbrella AND his coat… and runs to the bus himself. Days later, the old man shows up at the hospital director's office. Why? Listen to find out — and watch for the promise at the end. It matters in a later episode!📖 18 keywords in this episode (read twice at the opening, highlighted again in the story)下班 xiàbān · 突然 tūrán · 大雨 dàyǔ · 人群 rénqún · 躲雨 duǒyǔ · 可怜 kělián · 雨伞 yǔsǎn · 外套 wàitào · 感动 gǎndòng · 特别 tèbié · 平静 píngjìng · 暖和 nuǎnhuo · 敲门 qiāomén · 整齐 zhěngqí · 惊喜 jīngxǐ · 谢谢 xièxie · 善良 shànliáng · 福报 fúbào🎧 How this episode works: 1.
