Today's Episode:

Why would an American IT engineer spend decades studying Chinese characters? In this episode, we explore the story of Richard Sears, better known in China as “Uncle Hanzi”. From a heart attack that changed his life to building a free website that reveals the ancient forms of Chinese characters, his journey is both unexpected and inspiring. If you’ve ever wondered where Chinese characters come from, this episode will change the way you see them.
