2.3.36A《喜欢开车的杨先生》Story Walkthrough

from Learning Chinese through Stories

In this week's story walkthrough, we meet 杨先生 — a man who loved driving so much that he didn't hand over the keys until he was 85. Through a series of close calls on Hong Kong's narrow mountain passes, a near-disaster on 大帽山, and an ancient car that refused to retire, we get a window into a relationship built on adventure, laughter, and the kind of quiet courage that comes from trusting someone completely. This walkthrough explores the story entirely in Chinese. Along the way, you'll pick up vocabulary like 如履薄冰, 硬着头皮, 心有余悸, and 初生牛犊不怕虎 — all in the context of real, memorable moments that make them easy to remember. 如履薄冰 — A one-lane road, no guardrails, a sheer drop on one side. No room to turn back. This is what 如履薄冰 feels like in real life. 硬着头皮 — Sometimes you're already halfway up the mountain before you realize you're terrified. That's exactly when you have to 硬着头皮 and keep going. 心有余悸 — She hit the accelerator instead of the brake. The car lurched toward the cliff. The people nearby screamed. Years later, she still feels it — 心有余悸. 初生牛犊不怕虎 — She had just gotten her license. He said: let's drive to the top of the mountain. She said yes. 初生牛犊不怕虎. - Rui & Simeng ************************************************************ Support Our Podcast Support Our Podcast → https://www.patreon.com/learningchinesethroughstories If our podcast brings value to your life and you'd like to help us keep creating great content, consider becoming a patron for as little as $9 a month.
