Topic1-Over 300 Academics Quit Corporate¹ Jobs

 

A recent report has revealed that over 300 academics have resigned from their corporate posts as independent directors or 独立董事. Why is that?

 

Topic2-Squat² Waiting in Subway = Rude?

 

A photo of two girls squatting³ in the subway has caused quite a stir.

 

The picture was taken in Shanghai's metro⁴ platform and posted on Weibo afterward⁵ with a comment and here I quote "Maybe I am too old and traditional. I just don't understand why some girls are so uncivilized. How can they squat and wait in the subway? Who taught them? What kind of habit is this?"

 

The post soon topped the search list. Admittedly, there is some dispute over whether the original post mentioned uncivilized behavior or not, but the post that has gone viral clearly has stated those words. Therefore, the discussion out there and in the studio will focus on this theme. That is the end of my disclaimer.

 

Topic3-The Imperial Doctress

 

The Imperial Doctress or 女医明妃传,the TV drama, has been lambasted by viewers because of the validity of prescription⁶ medicines used in the drama. Are people making a fuss out of nothing or are these TV shows too far off from real practice?
