“I can live without a partner, but I must have a dazi.” This has become a kind of social manifesto for today‘s young people. From meal dazi and workout dazi to study dazi and travel dazi, a new form of lightweight socializing—known as “dazi socializing”—is spreading rapidly among young people. In this episode of CD Voice, we start with a striking statistic: over 70% of young respondents said they have a dazi in their life. We explore why this “precise companionship” has won over so many, and what it offers—and what it cannot replace. Dazi relationships occupy that delicate space between “friend” and “stranger.” They are both a way to lighten the burden of traditional, highcost socializing and a reflection of young people’s genuine need for companionship in an accelerating world. They are not a rejection of deep relationships—they are relationships that can grow. 搭子當道：當代年輕人的社交新選擇
China has ample room to introduce pro-consumption policies in the second half of the year, as consumer prices maintained a moderate overall increase in July, experts said. 專家表示，由於7月居民消費價格總體保持溫和上漲，中國在下半年推出促消費政策仍有充足空間。 The country's consumer price index, a main gauge of inflation, rose 0.5 percent year-on-year last month, according to data released by the National Bureau of Statistics.

Eighty-one years ago, Nagasaki was erased in a blinding flash, with 74,000 victims incinerated by a weapon that should have been the last. 八十一年前，一道刺目的強光將長崎從地圖上抹去，7.4萬人被這枚"本應是最后一顆"的原子彈瞬間吞噬。 Three days earlier, Hiroshima had suffered the same fate. 三天前，廣島已遭受了同樣的命運。 During those three days, Japanese militarists kept insisting that people sacrifice themselves for the "glorious Empire of Japan". 在那三天里，日本軍國主義者仍在一味要求民眾為所謂"光榮的大日本帝國"犧牲性命。 The destruction of Nagasaki finally shattered that dangerous faith and forced Japan's unconditional surrender to the Allied Powers six days later. 長崎的毀滅最終擊碎了這一危險信念，六天后，日本被迫向同盟國無條件投降。 Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi made it clear at the Hiroshima memorial ceremony on Thursday and again at the Nagasaki memorial ceremony on Sunday that the country's neo-militarists have learned nothing from the horrors of the bom...
