talk show and his friends丨being blown up by cai cai, lu yu talks about facing menstruation

in recent years, lu yu, no longer content with just doing interviews, has frequently appeared on talk shows.talk show conference 5》served as the lead comedian for two episodes. every comment he made was very on point and sincere, and was welcomed with overwhelming applause.

she really understands talk shows. i am not the only one who thinks so. many netizens also say so and hope that she can be a permanent comedian.

especially during the final award ceremony, luyu was able to tell the characteristics of each talk show host. her careful observation, clear organization, and smooth flow showed the skills of a professional host, which was really different.

especially when the award was unexpectedly given to nia niao, lu yu said, "nia niao won the award even though she was not nominated. many people will say, 'really? i don't believe it.' believe it or not, because i am the one who presents the award and i decide who to give it to. i believe that although she is socially anxious, she is fearless when she stands on the stage. you ask me why i believe in her, i just believe in her unconditionally, lulululu".

during this speech, luyu not only made fun of her own jokes, but also imitated niao niao's famous scenes at the right time, which not only brought unexpected surprises, but also added a lot of fun and highlights to the program.

through these two programs, luyu, who was originally described by netizens as a "chatting genius", "bad host" and "low eq", reversed her reputation overnight, and was praised as "high-quality comedian" and "internet mouth substitute" in major comment sections.

after careful consideration, lu yu's comments are all in the realm of literary accomplishment, logical thinking, depth of pattern, and ability to control the situation. more importantly, her extensive reading and expression are full of feminine power. not only is she not condescending, but she can also gently hit the nail on the head.

[1] face life head-on without age anxiety

in june 2024, the seventh season of "round table" officially returns, lu yu anddou wentaothey joined hands again to present a wonderful game between old friends.

as she gets older, as a public figure, her name begins to be preceded by an age modifier. when talking about this change, lu yu boldly opened the microphone on the show and talked about her age without any hesitation, saying frankly, "i am 54, what can i not say?" and "i have reached the stage where i can say more."

54 years old has never been a shackle for lu yu. as time goes by, she has proved with her actions that age is just a number and cannot determine a person's state and mentality. she has her own internalized female intelligence, independence, fearlessness, stability, calmness, and her own "her power".

dou wentao was impressed by lu yu's frankness and confidence, and praised her as "the eternal woman who guides us."

for most adults, they don’t understand the social clock, they only know “what to do at a certain age”. when they grow up, they go to college, when they graduate, they work, after work, they get married and have children, at the age of 30, it is best to have a successful career, a car and a house, and retire normally at the age of 60.

in this process, marriage, employment, and childbearing are three major life events. once you find that you are out of sync, you will feel anxious. if you dare to miss one of them, you will be an outlier who breaks the social clock.

so, has luyu changed? in my opinion, her core has never changed. but age brings experience, and experience brings some new thinking. that is, not being afraid of age and facing the challenges of life with confidence.

【ii】breaking the shame of menstruation and calling for social tolerance

cai cai in "talk show and his friends”, she mentioned that she asked the errand boy to help her buy sanitary napkins, but was met with all kinds of excuses and reluctance.

this experience made her deeply feel the prevalence of "menstrual shame" in society. even a simple purchase behavior may become complicated and embarrassing because it involves the word "menstruation".

in addition, cai cai also mentioned black plastic bags. it is obviously normal to use sanitary napkins during menstruation, but society seems to tacitly accept that it should not be allowed in public.

i am not a girl, but i have had similar experiences in my life. when girls buy sanitary napkins at a convenience store, the store owner will be very considerate and put them in a black plastic bag. it seems that the buyer is embarrassed, and the people who see it will also be embarrassed.

not only in life, but even in movies and tv dramas, this kind of behavior can be seen hiding everywhere.

in the tv series "their names", shen jianan (weiwei in order to do market research, she bought many brands of sanitary napkins. she asked her companion qin tian (jin shijia he asked a friend to help carry it, but was refused because he didn't use a black plastic bag.

cai cai revealed the common prejudice and misunderstanding of menstruation in society through her own experience. she pointed out that due to the influence of traditional concepts and gender stereotypes, menstruation is regarded as a kind of "privacy" of women and even stigmatized, causing many women to feel ashamed and uneasy when talking about menstruation.

regarding cai cai's direct discussion of the topic of menstruation in her jokes, lu yu praised her as "a particularly good example, there are things you need to talk about", "i can have my sense of privacy, but i still require you to face this word directly."

in real life, the word "menstruation" is often replaced by "aunt", "relative", "that", etc., and many coded languages ​​are born as a result, such as "i'm having my period, have you had your period?"

in lu yu's view, only when women can face and talk about menstruation calmly can they truly get rid of the shackles of "menstrual shame" and achieve gender equality and women's liberation.

in addition, lu yu also suggested that "sanitary napkins should be provided free of charge to women in need in public places."

i was really moved by lu yu and deeply felt the warmth and power of her proposal. netizens also left messages saying, "i think this suggestion is very good. women don't need to feel ashamed of menstruation", "lu yu hit the point. this is the real voice for women", "as a woman, i strongly agree with this point of view".

providing free sanitary napkins in public places can not only guarantee women's basic physiological needs, but more importantly, she hopes to break the shame of menstruation through this way, so that women can face their bodies and physiological changes more confidently and calmly. menstruation is not a shame, it is an important part of women's physiological health.

【3】praise each other, women appreciate each other

this season of "talk show and his friends" made me realize lu yu's sincerity again. she not only called for "free sanitary napkins to be provided to women in need in public places", but also did her homework in every link.

she was the only guest who had read meng chuan's new book.wang zihanyou know, after luyu listened to her podcast, she couldn't contain her emotion, and the joy of finally being seen was beyond words.

a very touching detail is that during the talking session between luyu and wang zihan, luyu said that listening to wang zihan’s podcast changed her evaluation criteria; wang zihan said that luyu’s podcast had a profound impact on her.

facing dou wentao's jokes, lu yu did not forget to add, "this is the mutual understanding between us women." this scene is really beautiful.

i like all the new and brave female expressions, and i like the feeling of all the forces coming together to push the times forward.

my biggest feeling is that many people need podcasts as a medium, and luyu has been doing this. these listeners like to listen to luyu share the books and movies she has read, and think about the difficulties in a certain stage of life or criticize certain phenomena. they have learned "her power" from luyu.

in the face of life, we must have the confidence to laugh at life and the courage to face ourselves. just as lu yu said in her opening performance on "talk show conference 5", "don't be afraid of the past, learn to laugh at yourself", and just as she encouraged talk show actors to continue to grow and break through themselves, even if they regret failure, they should not give up easily.

the jokes lead to reflections on self-worth and social value. the appearance of lu yu finally made me realize how important it is to have a comedian who truly understands talk shows.
