About the show

Hi, I’m Arden. I’m a former fiction writer and fashion editor, now working as a software developer in the UK. Every week, I post one slow Chinese story about Chinese culture, day-to-day life, and sometimes just my random thoughts. I make these stories very slow-paced and quiet, so I wouldn’t mind if you fell asleep while listening. I enjoy writing these stories, and I hope you enjoy listening too :) You can find full scripts for free here: https://ardenxwei.substack.com/
