  • Episode 32: 中国变成今天的中国都经历了什么？(What Did China Have To Go Through To Become Today's China?)
    In past episodes, we have spoken about the two opium wars, the Sikkim expedition and the end of the Qing dynasty. In this episode, I read an excerpt from a book that illustrates very well what China was like during that period of time and how hard China had to fight to become today’s China. Today’s China should not be taken for granted. 

    The book is called 《为什么是毛泽东》(“Why Was It Mao Zedong”). As the title suggests, that period of time played an important role in how Chairman Mao came to power.

  • Episode 26: 留守儿童 (China's 'Left-Behind' Children)
    There is a group of people in China known as the ‘left-behind’ children. In the rural, poorest areas of China, the parents of these children tend to leave home to work in the bigger cities. They may not return home much (measured in months and years) but they will usually send money home on a frequent basis. This is their way of offering better support to their families but it inevitably leaves a lasting impact on the children who are growing up without the love and care of their parents.
