Moonlight Mandarin
单身是自由还是孤独？ | Being Single: Freedom or Loneliness?
In this episode of Moonlight Mandarin, Kira and Sabrina dive into the rising “single wave” — 单身潮 (dānshēn cháo). Is being single about 自由 (freedom) or 孤独 (loneliness)? Or maybe both?
Join us as we explore what it means to stay 单身 (single) in today’s world, and why more and more people are choosing to wait for the 合适的人 (the right person) — or to focus on 独立 (independence) and 自我成长 (self-growth). We’ll talk about the joys of 享受独处 (enjoying solitude), the challenges of 想念 (missing someone), and the responsibilities of 承担责任 (taking responsibility) when entering 进入婚姻 (marriage).
✨ Vocabulary you’ll learn in this episode includes: 单身 (single), 自由 (freedom), 孤独 (loneliness), 伴侣 (partner), 相处 (to get along), and more.
