The uncertainty of this historic moment has made nostalgia for the past cool again. As part of Juzi Podcast’s regular bilingual segment, David and Siok review the Mandarin phrases that came up in their chat about what makes retro china chic popular among young Chinese fashionistas.  They share Chinese proverbs, everyday Chinese phrases and even pieces of slang you can use when you show off your Chna hipster street cred.   俗话说，人靠衣裳马靠鞍。中国风？复古风？还是怀旧风？穿什么最时尚呢？每个年代的穿衣潮流，是怀旧时光机里必不可少的。这一期的桔子直播大卫和惜惜会跟大家聊聊「那些年的新衣」和分享和怀旧时尚相关的词汇。   For bilingual show notes on the Mandarin vocabulary shared during the episode, visit the official Juzi The Mandarin Podcast website at http://juzi.sg/index.php/2020/08/27/juzi-live-ep14-show-notes/ .
