Writer and Social Commentator Lijia Zhang Shares Insights on China on Impact Podcast with John Shegerian

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--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.”
