1 小时 3 分钟discussion keeps the world turning.
This is Roundtable.
Think about something you throw away every day without a second thought.
Now, imagine that thing takes 400 years to disappear.
That's the reality with tennis balls, and we go through millions of them.
But there's some good news.
In Qingdao, they've figured out how to turn 20,000 dead balls into something that you can actually play on.
We'll tell you all about that today.
And then...
Imagine a college student who's never sent a formal email in their entire life.
They grew up on WeChat, on DMs, on messages that start with hey and end with nothing.
And then one day they're expected to email a professor or a company and no one ever taught them how.
Well, that's driving professors and employers crazy.
The issue of young people not knowing how to write an email has gone viral in China.
But is it their fault?
Coming to you from our studios in Beijing, this is Roundtable.
I'm Steve Hatherly.
Thanks for joining us this episode.
And for today's show, I'm with Yushun and Yushan.
Yushun and Yushan, good afternoon to you both.
