“This is my first time commenting on podcast. Even my first time commenting on anything as far as I can recall. Strangely enough, I have heard only one episode of this podcast— Umbrella Up. I’m now on a subway, and I’m literally crying (sniffing) on it after I just finish listening to Umbrella up and the music comes in. This piece of audio is just so amazing and precious, especially in a world that’s so splitted. All I see is the Chinese media are saying the protesters are making mess, while the western mainstream media are saying police are beating protesters. I followed the Hongkong story for so long, maybe too long that my friends and colleagues have already given up on following. Just when I think there is no way that media on the two sides can report an overall objective story about HK to the world, just like the two sides in HK can never compromise, this podcast gave me light, literally! I believe in the so called western democratic and liberal values, but I also see the value and essential reasons of the Chinese systems and the way of ruling. I have been living in both places. The only thing I learned from books and real life is there is no system that’s perfect for every country. Nothing is truly universal. Obviously, not a lot of people see it, not even fewer media report on that. Not even my used-to-love New York Times. But you did, Umbrella up, This American Life. Thank you, there is nothing else I can express other than appreciation! You tell a story I have been eager to tell for years! You are on my subscription list, now and forever. Thank you!”
