On October 21 at 12:30 PM, Sohu.com founder, chairman of the board, and chief executive officer Zhang Chaoyang hosted a livestream on Sohu Video's social feed program "Zhang Chaoyang's English Class," where he shared trending news in both Chinese and English, including the story of an American actress who was misdiagnosed with multiple sclerosis, learning English through the news alongside viewers.
Recently, a medical news story drew global attention. Zhang Chaoyang explained that American actress Christina Applegate, known for her roles in "Anchorman" and "Married... with Children," revealed that for five years she believed she had multiple sclerosis, until she recently discovered she had been misdiagnosed. On her podcast, she said she was "not happy at all" about the news and was in tears when she found out. She stated that if anything had changed, her condition had actually gotten worse.
Several years ago, doctors suddenly suggested she stop infusion treatment to observe her body's response. As a result, her body showed no reactions consistent with the characteristics of the disease. After further examination, doctors confirmed she did not have the autoimmune disease. Research shows that approximately 15% to 20% of patients diagnosed with the disease actually do not have it.
During the livestream, Zhang Chaoyang analyzed key English vocabulary based on the news content, including podcast and lesion. "Zhang Chaoyang's English Class" airs every Monday through Thursday at 12:30 PM on Sohu Video. The social feed updates daily with livestream clips and vocabulary summaries, while a condensed Chinese edition is available through "Zhishi Video."
