Episode 20 – Advanced: 水滴石穿 (Dripping Water Penetrates Stone)
Have you ever wondered whether your small daily efforts actually make a difference?
In this advanced-level episode, Christine shares a reflective story about quiet perseverance—journaling a few words a day during the pandemic, and realizing later how those scattered thoughts formed a deeper picture of personal growth.
You’ll explore the classical idiom 「水滴石穿」 (shuǐ dī shí chuān)—literally “dripping water wears through stone”—and learn how its meaning extends beyond success: time and repetition can build, but also erode.
From ancient philosophy to Song-dynasty stories, this episode shows how persistence shapes us in ways we don’t always notice—and asks an important question: What are your small actions slowly changing?
Perfect for learners around HSK 5–6 / CEFR B2–C1, ideal if you enjoy thoughtful, story-based Chinese that blends classical wisdom with modern reflection.
