Ep.34: Two Things Can Be True

Life is full of dualities.

Meg and Amy reflect on episode 3: Scared But Brave, and episode 4: Hello 2020 - the two episodes recorded before the world as we knew it fell apart. Hello 2020 right? And when they look back they talk about how coincidental it was that the motto they went into to 2020 with, “Scared But Brave,” would be so necessary. They discuss the moments they had to be “scared but brave” over the past three years, and they further explore the concept and juxtaposition that the phrase brings. Life is full of dualities. You can’t have courage or bravery without fear. The only thing they know for sure is that two things can be true.

Meg 和 Amy 回顾了播客第三集“恐惧和勇敢” 和第四集“你好2020”。这两集均录制于口罩事件发生之前。回顾过去三年,当初一句无心的“你好2020”,如今却显得些许沉重。而兼具“恐惧和勇敢”的我们,也被现实逼迫成了“恐惧且勇敢”。过去三年,每个人的生命中都有无数个即将崩溃,但又必须勇敢面对的瞬间。每个人都在恐惧和强大的边缘徘徊。生命中总是充满无数的对立面,正如恐惧和勇敢的存在就如硬币的两面一样,二者相互依存。所以,很多时候,两件事可以对立存在,且同时为真。

Discussion about this podcast

The Spark Podcast
The Spark Podcast
The Spark is a podcast that explores what it means to traverse cultures and share stories that intersect Chinese and American culture to interrupt barriers and create connections.
The Spark is a cultural haven - A space held by a friendship between two women from two different countries, meeting at the point where their cultures, identities and stories intersect. Their conversations are grounded in transparency as they move beyond previous perceptions and ideas of the other to form deep connections as human beings first.
这是一个由两个来自不同文化背景的女生创造的广播平台。Amy Tianyi Zhao (微博:赵枣儿Amy)虽然来自中国,但她的教育背景和生活履历让她与西方文化产生了强烈的共鸣。Megan Dowaliby 虽然来自美国,但来自中国的老公让她对中国产生了浓厚的兴趣。两个完全不同的女生在一张传统中国餐桌上相遇。语言的交流引发了思想的碰撞。在那次晚餐两年后的今天,火花电台诞生。我们相信,一个人的国籍,以及其居住地并不能代表TA的文化身份。在一个全球化的时代,我们在不同文化中看到自己的影子,每个人都可能是很多文化交流和互动的产物。我们希望通过她们的对话和讨论,加深人们对“跨文化”身份的认同,赋予人们了解世界的激情和力量,最终达到促进世界,尤其是中美两国互相理解的进程。
