A wise and concise outline of the colonization of China and its impact on the soul of this ancient nation…and a fascinating story of how the author has brought back to life the songs behind ancient poetry which we otherwise can only read, not hear.

What a powerful, terrible, and beautiful story all at once! A true alchemy of light and darkness. I have learned about the opium wars as the cruel bullying of the British Empire when the Chinese authorities (sensibly) wanted to pull out of the trade. I didn't know about the impact it had on the Chinese population. Thank you so much for sharing your story and finding your voice 💕🙏
