众口铄金与网络暴力 _ The Brutal Power of Words _ Cyberbullying _ Chinese Daily Podcast

In today’s episode of the Chinese Daily Podcast, we dissect the devastating power of words and the issue of cyberbullying (*wǎngluò bàolì* — 网络暴力) through classic Chinese idioms and historical anecdotes, such as *zhòng kǒu shuò jīn* (众口铄金) and *sān rén chéng hǔ* (三人成虎). We explore how the "axes" of public opinion and groundless rumors can destroy a person’s life, how ancient thinkers—over 2,000 years ago—decoded the psychology of the masses, and practical strategies to maintain inner peace in today’s noisy digital age. Packed with vocabulary at the HSK 4–HSK 5 level and profound cultural insights, this lesson is an effective way to boost your Chinese listening proficiency!
