Empathy is Compassion in Cantonese with Sidney Gig-Jan Wong

This podcast acknowledges the Tainui people of the Waikato region, on whose land this recording took place. We also acknowledge the 'Ngāi Tūāhuriri, rāua ko Ngāi Tahu whānui' which acknowledges the immediate hapū and also the extended Ngāi Tahu, Waitaha, and Kāti Mamoe people, from whose lands our esteemed guest has joined us. We respectfully celebrate the wisdom of the elders, those who have passed, those who are present, and those who are yet to emerge. Welcome to The Hello Frequency, Dear Listeners: I am your host, Caya. In this episode, Sidney Gig-Jan Wong and I explore the concept of Empathy as Compassion. We unpack complexities related to first languages, non-Western perspectives on empathy, the tendency to personify languages, and even share a lighthearted fish joke. With kindness and patience, we hope this marks the beginning of many more insightful discussions for our dear listeners, subscribers, sharers, and promoters.Copyright and Citation© Divakalala, C.
