In this episode of Moonlight Mandarin, Kira and Sabrina explore the idea that 我们生活中需要有三种爱好 (we need three kinds of hobbies in life) — one to keep us healthy, one to help us grow or earn, and one to bring us joy and creativity.

Join us as we discuss why these hobbies matter and how they shape our lives. We’ll talk about activities like 骑车 (cycling), 冥想 (meditation), and 举重 (weightlifting) for health; 学习语言 (learning a language), 设计 (design), and 赚钱 (making money) for growth; and 画画 (painting), 手工 (handicrafts), and 追剧 (binge-watching dramas) for fun. We also reflect on why hobbies are not just pastimes, but ways to build 价值观 (values), strengthen 动力 (motivation), and create a more 有意义 (meaningful) life.
