He's Podcast

今天维州州长发话了：墨尔本将取消5公里这个外出距离的限制了，希望大家的工作和生活也快快回到正常的轨道上，更加希望单口喜剧场子也尽快开放营业。

这八个月的隔离，真的是一言难尽。不过我也苦中作乐，利用这段时间采访了15位散居在世界各地的单口相声演员，通过2020共建战友情。

这一季以在墨尔本的中国单口相声演员Sean的采访开始，以在上海的中国单口相声演员Lee的采访结束，也算是给第一季画下一个圆满的句号，给自己留下一个美好的回忆。

2020虽然很糟心，但是只要希望还在，总还是有动力的。

In this last episode, I interviewed a Chinese stand-up comic Lee Yi, who performs in both Chinese and English in Shanghai. It is intriguing to know his comedy journey and his struggles as a comedian in China. The audio is in mandarin Chinese.

Now she is "enjoying" the miserable second lockdown with all Melbournians while developing her hobby about online gaming.
