很久以前，交通不便。就是有这么一些人，他们不愿意收到交通，地理的限制，一马当先，游历四海，成为著名的旅行家。张骞就是这样的一个人。他走过的路，今人叫做：丝绸之路。

Long ago when transportation wasn't advanced, a group of people defied the limitations of transportation and geography. They set out for far, and travelled the oceans. They were great travelers. Zhang Qian is one of them. The road that he took is what we call "the Silk Road" today.

二零二四年九月，茶歇中文的公司 "茶報" (TeaTimedia ltd.) 正式在香港成立。从此，我们立志，要成为无政治偏见的中文新闻媒体。我们的口号是：实事求是。

In September 2024, TeaTime Chinese's company, "茶报" (TeaTimedia Ltd.), was officially established in Hong Kong. From that point onward, we are determined to become an unbiased Chinese news media outlet, free from political prejudice. Our motto: Quest for Truth.

茶報创刊词

今日盛行的中文媒体，非黑即白，非是即非，政治偏见两极化。在茶報，我们另辟蹊径：坚持自己的主张，弘扬自由的言论。我们背后没有任何政治党派，没有人限制我们的三寸不烂之舌。即便与主流媒体背道而驰，我们也要探索真相，追求真理。我们诚邀您加入我们的大冒险，用一个一个故事讲述今天的中国，今天的世界。

TeaTime Manifesto

Today's Chinese media is trapped in a binary discourse—either black or white, right or wrong—its political stance starkly polarized. At TeaTimedia, we refuse to be confined by these boundaries. We carve out a new path: standing firm with our independent perspective and upholding the freedom of expression. We are free from the chains of any political party, and no one can bind our tongue nor muzzle our voice. Even if our views clash with the mainstream, we are determined to pursue the truth and uncover reality. Join us on this adventure, as we explore the rich, multifaceted world of China—one story at a time.

时隔一个月，茶歇中文播客又回来了。最近，我完成了学校的考试，搬了家... 所以没能即使更新播客。希望大家理解。

今天，在欧美各大学校里，我们都能看见中国留学生的影子。自从1872年清朝政府派遣 "留美幼童" 前往海外留学以来，中国学生对外国院校一直有挥之不去的憧憬。今天，中国学生为什么选择出国留学？毕业之后，他们又何去何从？

After one month's break, TeaTime Chinese is back. Recently, I finished all of my exams at school. I also moved to a new place… which led to my unpunctual update of the podcast. I thank you for your understanding.

Nowadays, in major schools and universities in Europe and America, it's commonplace to see Chinese students. Since the Qing Dynasty sent the first group of young children to America for study, Chinese students have always been fascinated by educational institutions of the West. Today, why do Chinese students choose to study abroad? After graduation, what will their choices be?
