Welcome to another episode of 听故事说中文! In this episode, we are sharing a story by Lao She that captures his evolving sentiments towards hens. At first, he expresses a deep dislike for hens, describing their incessant clucking and pecking as annoying. As the story progresses, he witnesses a hen fiercely protect and care for her brood, which changes his perspective. By the end of the episode, he concludes that a mother, whether a hen or a human, is a true hero, demonstrating responsibility, love, courage, and hard work.
