Lin Yutang
Manage episode 346025807 series 3403039
In the middle of the 20th century, one Chinese writer began publishing books in English.
It was a truly unusual thing, given that proportionally a lot fewer Chinese at the time even could speak English with much competence. But Lin Yutang was no ordinary man. Through his bestselling books that often sought to explain Chinese history and culture to Westerners, in many ways he became the voice of all that was Chinese in the Western world.
