Ep. 344 | James Hong
With the 18-part History of Chinese Philosophy series finally out of the way, we're back with all new CHP content. Here's one that introduces the life of one of my favorite Hollywood legends, Mr. James Hong. He's someone with a great Hollywood story who thrived as an actor, despite all the well-known challenges faced by Asian American artists throughout the Golden Age of Hollywood. This episode looks at his life and work. To call him a prolific actor and voiceover artist is quite an understatement. James Hong, 壽比南山!
After the exploits of Robert Fortune, many other plant hunters such as Henry Fletcher Hance, Père David, Augustine Henry, Ernest Wilson, and George Forrest, among others followed in his footsteps to China.
