- What kind of guys do young Chinese girls really like? The buff, western dude types or the more frail, thin, androgynous, almost feminine looking guys?
Their preference might surprise you!
In this podcast, Eileen and Xiao Feng discuss the phenomenon of China's Little Fresh Meats and their effect on society.
This is a great listening practice audio / video podcast for Chinese intermediates. The clear smartphone friendly subtitles also makes it easier for elementary Chinese students to follow this intermediate, non-scripted conversation.

hi, I would like to ask if you have plans on "update" this talk since the last ban on "effeminate" man in China?
Can I just say, this channel is one of the most underrated resources on CZcams for learning Chinese, far more useful than simple vocab videos or grammar vids-- access to real, clear native speech with familiar topics are hard to come by in any language, and I am so grateful for your videos to help me improve my vocab and listening comprehension 感谢你们！
你说是对。感谢mandarin corner
Yes Mandarin Corner is great :)
Yes, it talks about different topic (I am interested in) and also has pinyin and characters. I learned mandarin as a kid in chinese school but I stopped after 6 years and it’s still needs great vocabulary improvement if I want to live in China. I know English people can lie there too but I really want to speak fluent Chinese if I am going to study there
就是哦
This channel is such a blessing. Thank you so much.
Wow JJ! You're here!
My inspiration to learn fluent mandarin
Just saw one of your videos!
Suck a great inspiration❤️
This channel is like gold to me, as a mandarin student. This is so much better than all those vids with robotic phrases.
So true I have started watching it myself!

That's impressive ngl. He should drop his skincare routine and health routine in general.

*TOO FAST?* Control the video's playback speed *by speeding up or slowing down the video 5% at a time* on *desktop computers and laptops* OR *25%* at a time on *smartphone.*
Access the playback speed controls as follows:
Desktop Computers and Laptops: open the video, then go to the lower right of the video's screen and click on the settings icon (it looks like a GEAR). On the upper right of the options window that comes up, you will see the link "custom". Click on the "custom" link to control the video's playback speed by speeding up or slowing down the video 5% at a time.
Smartphones: open the video and go to the upper right of the video's screen. You will see 3 dots. Click on them and you will see the link to open the "playback speed" controls. Click on this link and you will be able to control the video's playback speed by speeding up or slowing down the video 25% at a time. Note that viewing the video on desktop computer/laptops gives you greater control over the playback speed (5% vs 25% on smartphones).
i really appreciate the effort you put on subtitles, translating everything. Thank you so much.
I like the look of those type of feminine men. Everyone can look how they want. Feminine men and Masculine men can both be attractive. Everyone can have their own preference but i dont like if people make fun of the feminine men. Everyone has a different idea of beauty and not everyone has to conform to your personal preference of beauty.
Good intersting video.
its just because its trendy right now and youve also probably been reading manga and watching anime, thats why. :-)
@Mark Carson Human nature?! That’s just an excuse to be hateful. How is a man dressing like a woman hurting anyone though? Let him be.
@Mark Carson That’s why we need to change this. I don’t think it’s human nature to be hateful and judgmental. All of these were taught to us ‘cause when I was little, I had never judged anyone. Due to the environment I was in and the ppl I was around, I became very judgmental as I grew older.
Awesome comment, agree with you 100%, we need to respect more each other's preferences
This is a great resource and you two are a great team ... and full marks to whoever it is doing the camerawork and editing too! Really good for us foreigners at intermediate level .... not too fast but you make it sound natural too .... that is not easy so thank youuuu!
best channel out there, Eileen you have helped me so much in the last 4 years. I already shared your channel with my friends who learn chinese here in Greece. Good luck in everything!
This is really great content. Interesting topic, REAL language, exposure to multiple accents, subtitles in English and even pinyin. I can't find a single thing I would want more. You guys got yourself a subscriber.
I think I actually want to start an account in USD just to start supporting you on Patreon lmao
my only complaint is that it isnt in traditional chinese
Great interview, and Xiao Feng was an intelligent conversation partner. The dialog is still too advanced for me so thanks for including the English subtitles.
Thank you so much for this content!! I've always looked for a way to practice my listening in REAL contexts with REAL vocab and REAL accents. This place is it!
I just started learning mandarin, and I'm so glad I found this channel, just like so many others. It's so helpful with the subtitles in pinyin and English. Thank you and keep up the good work!
I’m so excited that you all posted a new video! Also, it’s really great that you’re trying out a new video format. I really like this style!
What an awesome concept to combine listening practice with cultural topics! 🥰Keep up the great work!
I think that this new format is phenomenal. Very professional and fluid. This is a real upgrade in comparison with your past videos. In the good direction! Keep up the good work!
I had just found about this channel today. I used to live in Macau where I learnt Chinese, now that I left, I need to keep my ears used to listening to Chinese before I forget it. I love how clear and coherent the conversations are which is very easy for a me (a beginner in Chinese) to listen and follow. I wish to continue listening to these podcast!
Yes you are smart , keeping your ears accustomed to listening, and keeping your mind accustomed to forming phrases is suuuuper important. I made the mistake of not keeping my ears listening to chinese enough after leaving china, and it definitely hurt me. Trying to correct it now, but it is good that you are proactively doing so to not lose the ability
This channel changed my life! My language learning has drastically improved, thank you Eileen!!!! ❤
Thank you so much! Not only can we learn a lot of new words but also understand interesting topics! Thank you for this, great work! And it is far better seeing the person talking!
Well done on this new style of video! This is the most interesting and helpful for me as it includes the pinyin, English and mandarin subs along with the video :) Your videos are amazing. Please keep them coming.
I really love the direct and simple format that you used for this kind of blog video. The interaction between you too is really relaxed and natural and helped me follow the language. More like this please!
Awesome content, Mandarin Corner. Keep up the good work!
new video!!! thank you so much guys i really appreciate your work
This is a fantastic channel. It would be worth it to watch if one wasn't even learning Mandarin, but interested in China. Thanks!
How is it that I didn’t discover this channel earlier? It’s SO good. Good job. Well done. Thank you!
After years of searching, I finally found the channel I needed so far. woww, the videos here are really interesting. Since I don't understand Hanzi, I believe this content is very capable of helping me learn because there is Hanzi, Pinyin and English translation available in every video.
and this channel's mission make me moved.
keep up the good work Ellen🙏

Thanks a bunch, guys! Your podcasts are extremely profound!!!🥰
What a coincidence! I was searching for Chinese TV shows to improve my listening skills. But I was not able to find a TV show that reflects a normal life of a Chinese person. China seems to have 2 genres. 1 is about ancient China and its dynasties. And the other one an exaggeration of life. 'Perfect' looking men who are either the best student in the whole school, a doctor or the boss of a billion dollar company. But that is not what I am looking for. I want to know more about modern China. How people behave. Their norms and opinions. The culture. What they are proud of etc. If you have 1 or more suggestions. Please help me out :)
there are so many good realistic tv shows lol😂like 三十而已（nothing but thirty，2020)，都挺好（all is well，2019)，隐秘的角落（the bad kids, 2020, strongly recommend !!!!!!），some of my favorite 90s~00s shows:炊事班的故事（2002～2007)，杨光的快乐生活（2004，a show written by chinese traditional stand up comedians, definitely a classic），编辑部的故事（stories from the editorial board，1992，a fantastic political satire），北京人在纽约（a native beijing in new york，1994）（all of them you can find on youtube），some of the shows here require a deeper understanding of the chinese society and maybe you wont like them that much at first, but for SURE china has more than just 2 genres of tv shows, like?? aint nobody cares about those pretty boy /ceo escapism fantasy drama except for some teenage girls😂😂😂😂😂 i love good historical drama shows and i get that most foreigners might find that boring or confusing, but thats not all we got, explore more if u wanna learn more, 加油！
@@xinhuiwu5534
these examples you cite are “exaggeration of life”.
A lot of people found 小欢喜 a decent reflection of student life in China
X Akataš Aren’t most tv shows, though?
@@chelseaag1928 almost :)
I've been waiting for a new video ! Thank you guys your videos are always great and I learn many new words
Your videos are the most insightful ever. Thank you both so much for this one.
This podcast format is fantastic. Thank you
This is an awesome channel for anyone learning mandarin. I use it many times everyday.
The topics are interesting and the interview style is fun and easy to learn.
Great podcast, I really appreciate the discussion content culturally and also for learning language!
these natural normal speed conversations about relatable topics are your best kind of videos.
Kirk and 新肉 are good

Great video! I have never really thought about the historical aspect of the feminine appearance of Chinese boys.
the podcasts on this channel have everything that i want in a mandarin podcast: english/pinyin/chinese subtitles, scintillating topics and really charismatic speakers as well 😍😍 please keep on making contents i’m really looking forward to more videos from you guysss >< 加油！
Love this format. Great work! :)
我跟一个朋友最近开始了按照街坊格式来录视频，我靠，我以前没意识到了你要把多长时间投入到每个视频上面，不管是编辑还是拍摄，每一步都要好多时间，非常感谢您！
I really like this format, helps me learn !
Great to see you back on youtube!
Dear Eileen,
Conversations like these have been really helpful in improving my Chinese. Thank you for making videos of this kind. Keep up the good work. I really wish you big success in near future.
This guy seems to be so friendly. He has a beautiful smile. :) I loved this interview. =) Thanks a lot!
Very interesting, thanks for thinking about this topic!
Thanks, Eilen, excellent videos!!!
gosh Lu Han!!!💜
Wow, i really love this podcast. You guys really did some research about it, learning different points of view about any matter is always refreshing, AND at the same time im practice my chiense listening? Awesome!
Good job!!
I really enjoyed watching/reading this, and it is very heartening to learn how open-minded Chinese people are regarding femininity.
你做出的內容太豐富了吧 從頭到尾都非常實用的 🙏
说话很自然，翻译和字幕质量也很高……
你的视频都是我最爱的课外学习材料～
只想说谢谢，辛苦了！
Such a thoughtful and respectful discussion on life as it is in Mainland. Fantastic content with wonderful insights.
非常厉害！你做一个新的视频的时候，我每次非常高兴！我祝你十万观众！你快到了
感谢两位老师们，你们的对话对我的汉语学习很有帮助。Best Regards from 西班牙阿利坎特！
thanks for uploading this
Great format - I hope you make more of these. It would also be great if you just made audio podcasts more frequently so you don't have to spend time on subtitles and video editing.
I think one of the biggest problems for Chinese learners is to find interesting content to listen to or watch, this podcast format is doing a decent job and filling a market niche.
Love this channel so much
谢谢 @Mandarin Corner ！我学习了很多新生词。那个内容 很有意思， 我 理解一些 女 和 男 人的 观念， 中国 的年轻人越来越 就是 自由 。我想一直听你们的博客。
So grateful of you💙
Another great video
33 minutes and yet it felt so short!
Interesting topics. The fact that you do this for free is beyond me. Have thought of monetization with ads for the channel.? I know it's not much but it's something.
I have been donating a small monthly amount via Patreon to help make this channel happen.
another great video by eileen & co. improving my chinese little bit at a time, xiexie
Excellent content. To language learners, try to just listen without looking at the screen. They speak very clear Chinese.
I'm enjoying the variety and quality of this channel, topics which are interesting to a learner of Mandarin and Chinese pop culture
Loved this episode
Omg I’m crying I’ve been waiting for this😭😭😭🥰🥰🥰 Thank you ❤️
Great podcast , thank you
Please make more video like this, I appreciate it
Wow the content on this channel is great. Lots of varied topics.
I love this channel, not only I can practice Chinese but also learn about different topics and different opinions on them, it has such a variety, thank you Eileen and all the friends who help you with these videos! Love your contents!
The translation is very good, no details missed I think, very good content
Lovely! Thank you
Great Eileen. I wish you could release a new video every other week if it is not too much too ask. What can we do to help you speed up the process ? I know it is really time consuming fr you and I appreciate but these videos are so rewarding for both you and your audience that i am now really addicted.
你的视频质量越来越好。非常感谢你的工作🙏🙏
挺有用的，各视频有趣的话题。当为一位cbc, 我觉得这种对话非常有帮忙
Really well done format, I will make a donation when free this weekend.
thank you for your great work. 之前我不得不看充满小鲜肉的电视剧，真的忍不住了。几天前找到了这个平道，之间是黄金的评到。
Listen vivid conversation of two smart people is the best way to improve the language skills i think. With love from Russia
Very interesting and informative. Excellent learning tool.
This plethora if diverse and thought-provoking really me eager to learn more Chinese and understand the culture. Thank you very much for these podcasts!
I also just now donated, I feel like I could learn a lot more through this platform and impress my girlfriend from Hubei :D
@@duhtuurlijk we just upgraded your membership.
@@MandarinCorner2 thank you very much!
Very good video, thank you 🙏🏼
I love this channel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
谢谢老师！我用你的教材，觉得特别好。你肯定任劳任怨，加油！
From the netizen’s comments, I’m surprised but not surprised to see the number of males who feel threatened by this. I’m curious if this phenomenon will eventually receive support or if it will continue to be verbally attacked for generations
Perfect content!
Great topic.
thank you eileen
Perfect video for training our 听力 ❤️ thank you
MY FAVORITE CHANNEL ON CZcams
As an intermediate Chinese learner this is really useful - because it is so interesting, not just rote learning.
Actually cross dressing is very old and always part of culture. Specially male performers dressing up as females.
Some are just performers others may be bisexual or homosexual.
About the second type I believe it's just normal that everyone is getting more pressure to feel prettier and also woman really enjoy seeing beautiful males. This is a whole new "buyer's" to beauty industry so I dont see it stopping.... beauty pattern are always changing together with society, with traditional resistance or not, nowadays males don't work the farm and things like that, and in the other side beauty and appearance are considered a product and when you take care of yourself you have a good and clean image that is more attractive than a "brute" or rude appearance.
I also believe there's a resistance with people from different beauty, a man that looks rude and alpha will reject a soft looking man, and business should be business dont act on your personal values but what sells more.
People like men with good skin? Using lotions, taking care of appearance?? Then give it to them.
Finally a new video!
yass i have been waiting
Thank you again for this great content！ There is indeed a metallic sound to your voice coupled to some echo, but it in no way prevented me from understanding you and matching your voice to the pinyin tones. So no harm done😁 Besides, it's free content. And one does Not find free content of this quality everywhere.多谢！
muy interesante el podcast, me ayuda a entendernos mas
Damn, this was a really interesting conversation. And besides I became surprised how I already learned some chinese words that I¨ve picked up from before. It's actually not as difficult of a language as I imagined.
晓峰这个嘉宾真的太好了！谈的很深刻！这个节目的宝藏！
这才是我需要的内容和难度。其他在CZcams上教中文的视频内容太简单了，中级高级的学习者没办法用的 Thank you for the hard work !
Thank for your video, Eileen. An interesting topic. And the guest of this episode is cute. His smile 's so great. 有来越南的机会，请你们去玩。 🙂
