Just started reading 許三觀賣血記 by 余華 as my first real novel... going OK so far, not too many unknown words depending on the page, at least it doesn't feel like a slog to get through. Though I still need to get better at guessing what a sentence means through context, even if I'm missing like 1 one word.

As with previous threads, the idea behind this is to have a - not quite - weekly post where learners of all levels, heritage and native speakers can post the Chinese content they have been consuming this week in whatever form. If people also give an indication of their level (or the level of content) as well it can act as a way for people to discover new content which may be suitable for them.

I watched two of the big recent domestic hits of Chinese cinema.

好东西 (Her Story) - I really enjoyed this. It sort of reminded me of a little bit of 90s/00s UK romcoms in terms of the vibe. Language and topics are everyday, so good for learners.

哪吒2 (Nezha 2) - Obviously the hype for this one was crazy given it's success financially. The animation is superb, and I thought it was a solid story generally. Lots of Chinese fantasy concepts / tropes, so a bit difficult to appreciate everything if you have less familiarity with the genre.
