In this episode of the Yalie, a campus news podcast, the News sat down with Jing Tsu, professor of modern Chinese history who served as cultural commentator for NBC at the recent Winter Olympics in Beijing. Hear about what it was like to be behind-the-scenes at an historic — and at times, tense — Olympic Games, as well as more about Tsu’s recently-published, critically-acclaimed book: “Kingdom of Characters: The Language Revolution that Made China Modern”. Produced by Isaac Yu. Music from Blue Dot Sessions.
