    Mosaic of China with Oscar Fuchs: Bonus Episode from The Bridge (CGTN)

    Around the same time as launching Mosaic of China, I also embarked on a period of study at Shanghai Jiaotong University, starting with a course in Mandarin language followed by a Masters in Modern Chinese Studies. In today's special bonus episode, I discuss a little of what I learnt with Jason Smith and Beibei from CGTN's 'The Bridge' podcast. In our chat recorded earlier this year, we talk about Chinese philosophy, as well as some of the similarities and differences between life in China versus Singapore. A big thanks to Jason and the team at The Bridge for giving me permission to share this edited version on the feed for Mosaic of China.

    The Death Companion (ZHOU Yan, Hospice and ’Death Café’ Volunteer)

    In three seasons of the Mosaic of China podcast, we've already covered a large chunk of the A-Z of life in China. In today's episode, we're fast-forwarding to the end, not just because Zhou Yan's name starts with a 'Z', but because we're talking about the subject of death.  In her work as a volunteer in hospices and 'Death Cafés' in Shanghai, Zhou Yan is doing more than just dispelling the superstition and stigma that surrounds the subject of death in China. She also demonstrates how to live life with more intention, and with more reverence to those around us. The episode also includes catch-up interviews with: Chang Chihyun from Season 02 Episode 03 https://mosaicofchina.com/season-02-episode-03-chang-chihyunand Nick Yu from Season 01 Episode 13https://mosaicofchina.com/season-01-episode-13-nick-yu00:00 - Trailer & Intro 03:09 - Part 1 24:01 - Part 2 39:33 - Outro 43:38 - Catch-Up Interview [1]50:56 - Catch-Up Interview [2]Subscribe to the PREMIUM version, see the visuals, and/or follow the full transcript for this episode at:https://mosaicofchina.com/season-03-episode-22-zhou-yanJoin the community: Instagramhttps://instagram.com/oscologyLinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/company/mosaicofchinaFacebookhttps://facebook.com/mosaicofchinaWeChathttps://mosaicofchina.com/wechat

    The Airline Pilot (Michael HUNDEGGER, A320 Flight Commander)

    To many, the image of an airline pilot conjures up thoughts of confident commanders in crisp tailored uniforms, living a life of excitement, romance and adventure. But what about the life of an airline captain in China? In today's episode with Michael Hundegger, we have a good-humoured conversation about the culture of commercial aviation in China. Yes, there's still the romance and the adventure. Of course there's also the procedures, the strict hierarchy, and the grunt-work. But more than that, there's a fascinating window into the nature of authority, discipline and education in China. The episode also includes a catch-up interview with: Vittorio Franzese from Season 02 Episode 27https://mosaicofchina.com/season-02-episode-27-vittorio-franzese00:00 - Trailer & Intro 00:54 - Part 1 22:29 - Part 2 32:20 - Outro 36:06 - Catch-Up InterviewSubscribe to the PREMIUM version, see the visuals, and/or follow the full transcript for this episode at:https://mosaicofchina.com/season-03-episode-21-michael-hundeggerJoin the community: Instagramhttps://instagram.com/oscologyLinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/company/mosaicofchinaFacebookhttps://facebook.com/mosaicofchinaWeChathttps://mosaicofchina.com/wechat

    The Gemstone Buff (Christina CHAO, Gemologist)

    There's a field of academic study that sits at the intersection of geology and fashion, and that's gemology: the study of gemstones. Identifying, categorising and grading gemstones is a specific skillset, but valuation can be more subjective, particularly when it comes to regional variances such as with the inordinate popularity of jade in China. Christina Chao is a gemologist and jewellery designer in Shanghai, who is passionate about translating the science of gems into the art of jewels. And as she describes in today's episode, that's a skill she often puts into practice when advising nervous men looking for engagement rings for their girlfriends. Or indeed nervous podcasters who don't know the first thing about gemstones.  The episode also includes a catch-up interview with: Vy Vu from Season 01 Episode 08https://mosaicofchina.com/season-01-episode-08-vy-vu00:00 - Trailer & Intro 02:40 - Part 1 25:46 - Part 2 35:34 - Outro 39:11 - Catch-Up InterviewSubscribe to the PREMIUM version, see the visuals, and/or follow the full transcript for this episode at:https://mosaicofchina.com/season-03-episode-20-christina-chaoJoin the community: Instagramhttps://instagram.com/oscologyLinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/company/mosaicofchinaFacebookhttps://facebook.com/mosaicofchinaWeChathttps://mosaicofchina.com/wechat

  8. The Wine Devotee (Bertrand CRISTAU, XiaoLing Estate)

    The Wine Devotee (Bertrand CRISTAU, XiaoLing Estate)

    In the 1840s, French missionaries attempted to enter Tibet, and kept getting pushed back to an area at the Northwestern tip of modern-day 云南 [Yúnnán] Province. Today, this region preserves an astonishing and unique mix of Tibetan, Chinese, French and Catholic traditions. As part of that legacy, there are now villages of Catholic Tibetans that have perpetuated the art of winemaking first bequeathed to them over almost two centuries ago. And in today's episode, Bertrand Cristau explains how he first discovered this region, and how he ended up working together with the villagers to make prize-wining Himalayan wine. The episode also includes a catch-up interview with: Vladimir Djurovic from Season 02 Episode 13https://mosaicofchina.com/season-02-episode-13-vladimir-djurovic00:00 - Trailer & Intro 01:45 - Part 1 17:15 - Part 2 26:41 - Outro 29:48 - Catch-Up InterviewSubscribe to the PREMIUM version, see the visuals, and/or follow the full transcript for this episode at:https://mosaicofchina.com/season-03-episode-19-bertrand-cristauJoin the community: Instagramhttps://instagram.com/oscologyLinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/company/mosaicofchinaFacebookhttps://facebook.com/mosaicofchinaWeChathttps://mosaicofchina.com/wechat
