  • More lyrics episodes please 😀

    Love the Kong Yi Ji lyrics episode and the Cui Jian one. Would you mind considering talking about some of Luo Da You’s (罗大佑) works? Many of his lyrics are very poetic.

    Thank you!

  • I really enjoyed the Mo Yan and Lu Xun podcasts. I thought they added great context to some complicated works of modern Chinese literature. The two narrators are clearly in their element and having fun, but are also incredibly knowledgeable about the subject. I am.looking forward to digging deeper into these podcasts
