Do you think it's hard?小潘: The tones aren't too difficult because Vietnamese also has tones, but Chinese pronunciation is quite different from Vietnamese, so I need to practice more.刘娜: I see. What about grammar?小潘: Grammar is a bit complicated. I still need to slowly understand it.刘娜: Great! It seems like you're studying Chinese seriously.小潘: Yes, I think with more practice in characters, pronunciation, and grammar, my Chinese will keep improving.

At the China-Japan Friendship Hospital, Dr. Xiao Fei left the operating room for 40 minutes during a procedure, causing quite a stir.陈花: Really? Leaving in the middle of surgery? That’s serious! What about the patient?黄刚: It’s said the patient was already under anesthesia, but the surgery hadn’t officially started. Xiao Fei claimed he wasn’t feeling well, but another version says there was an argument in the operating room and he walked out after taking off his gown.陈花: Isn’t that a serious dereliction of duty? Every minute on the operating table is critical to the patient's safety.黄刚: Exactly. According to the Medical Practitioners Law, leaving during surgery without a valid reason is a serious violation. Also, this case involves his affair partner, Dong Xiying, whose academic background has come under scrutiny.陈花: Sigh, it’s really disheartening. Doctors aren’t just medical professionals — they represent responsibility and trust. If they can't uphold basic ethics, what can patients rely on?黄刚: Right. I hope the relevant authorities conduct a thorough investigation and reveal the truth to the public.

Weren't they really upset?小刚: Yes, some people felt it was unfair because they paid to get in but couldn’t see the performance.

Even if they couldn't see the stage, they still wanted to hear him sing. But some people think selling tickets like that is wrong — it's kind of like cheating.
