Critically acclaimed author and social commentator Lijia Zhang is a featured guest this week on the Impact Podcast with John Shegerian to share insights on how China and its people are largely misunderstood.
The Webby Award honored podcast is hosted by John Shegerian, Co-Founder, Chairman and CEO of ERI, the nation’s largest material resource recovery, ITAD and electronics recycling company.
On the podcast, Zhang, author of the bestselling and critically acclaimed memoir Socialism is Great! and novel Lotus, shares her own life story as a rocket-factory-girl-turned writer, columnist and public speaker, and one of the few Chinese social commentators who writes in English for international publications.
She also shares the story of the student protest movement she led in 1989 and discusses the complexity and myths surrounding modern Chinese society.
“Many thanks to Impact Podcast and John Shegerian for the opportunity to share my story and reflections with your audience,” said Zhang. “I hope our conversation sparks curiosity about China and its culture, and helps to gently dismantle some of the myths that surround it.”
“It was an honor and a privilege to have the brilliant and insightful Lijia Zhang on the podcast,” said Shegerian. “The conversation we had was enlightening, thought-provoking and inspiring. I know our audience will enjoy and get a lot out of the discussion. We look forward to return visits from Lijia in the future.”
Impact Podcast guests are invited to share with listeners first-hand accounts of how they are able to help make the world a better place on a daily basis.
The Impact Podcast with John Shegerian is available for listening on ImpactPodcast.com, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Audible, Amazon Music, Youtube Music, Pandora, and as part of iHeartRadio’s digital broadcast.
