Description
Spanning more than 150 years while masterfully blending history and biography, "Return to the Middle Kingdom" is a compelling saga with the epic sweep and gripping power of a historical novel. Chronicling the lives of her late husband, his father and grandfather, Yuan-tsung Chen reveals what it was like to live through – and participate in – the tumultuous events of China’s recent history. The program will be in English and Mandarin.
