An absolute treat
I can’t get enough of this podcast!! The narrator has such a unique, engaging voice. Can’t wait to see what else he puts out!
Classics Made Accessible
What a gift from John Zhu. He has brought to our Western ears the classic tales from Chinese literature in language that is understandable and yet maintained the essence of these complex stories. Without John’s great work I would not be able to discuss these classics and their many characters with Chinese friends.
A must for anyone interested history regardless that it’s fiction.
Reviewing this so more people see it. Loved Three Kingdoms & can see this will be just as good already. From Australia.
