In this episode of Round Table, Heyang, Steve Hatherly, and Gao Junya discuss vacation guilt, particularly in the American and Chinese workforces, exploring the reasons behind employees' reluctance to take time off and the consequences of vacation deprivation, including burnout and decreased productivity; they also offer tips for setting boundaries and delegating work to alleviate guilt. The conversation shifts to a discussion about smartphone features, specifically tiny dots designed to prevent motion sickness by synchronizing visual and physical sensations, while also acknowledging that the effectiveness of such measures varies among individuals, and alternative remedies like ginger or 100 hertz audio therapy are mentioned. Finally, in the happy place segment, Junya shares her experience visiting Yiwu, a hub for small commodities and successful businessmen, while Heyang discusses the rise of female stand-up comedians in China, particularly Director Fang, and the complex implications of their visibility in a changing society.
