“婚姻就像围城,你会选择进去,还是留在外面？” This episode unravels the timeless classic by Qian Zhongshu—a sharp, witty, and often painfully true satire on love, marriage, and society. We explore why life often feels like a "besieged city": those inside yearn to escape, while those outside dream of entering. 

Highlights:
1. Marriage as a Cage or Choice: How does dissect our expectations and disillusionments?
2. Love, Deception, and the Human Condition: Why do we endlessly chase what we don't have?
3. Satire Meets Universality: How Qian Zhongshu combines biting humor with deep insight into human behavior.
After listening, ask yourself:- Are your current relationships a product of freedom or societal pressure?- Would you step into your own "besieged city," or stay comfortably outside? Read for nuanced storytelling, then share your thoughts in the comments section. Is the "besieged city" in your life a workplace, a relationship, or something deeper?
