Ep. 277 | The Writer, Lin Yutang feat. The Chinese Literature Podcast

The China History Podcast
Written By Laszlo Montgomery

In this China History Podcast episode, Laszlo has teamed up with Rob Moore and Lee Moore (no relation) from The Chinese Literature Podcast to explore the life of the highly influential writer Lin Yutang. Though rather unknown in our day, there was a time when Lin Yutang was the most recognizable name in the West who wrote and spoke about China. This episode explores his early years and later literary and political achievements during the 1930s to 1970s. 

A special thanks to Lee and Rob for their expertise. Catch their show at https://www.chineseliteraturepodcast.com/ or in your favorite podcast player.
