p.s. I’m a Dukie, so I guess we’ve got a Carolina connection. Btw, I published a novel a while ago, in English, delving partly into the Qin Dynasty. Perhaps you might care to have a look someday?
Hi J. Thanks for listening and commenting! I actually work at Duke, so there’s another connection. Happy to check out the novel if you can point me in its direction.
Thanks John for creating this podcast! I’m really enjoying it so far. I’m chinese American and thought I’d never get around to reading this story, but thanks to this podcast I can understand it so effortlessly.
