.Li Yuan袁莉 explores what looks like a fascinating new biography of the father of China's leader #Xijinping - Xi Zhongxun. Book by Joseph Torigian "The Party's Interests Come First" (Clearly an important work but Q. should good books on China cost $50?) nytimes.com/2025/06/03/bus…

Joseph Torigian 著的习仲勋传里有很多生动的小故事。这个视频片断是1976年夏天的一个故事。在文革中习近平父子都被严酷迫害过,但为什么习仲勋还是让习近平背毛选呢? youtube.com/shorts/6c4iLba…

Joseph Torigian 著的习仲勋传里有很多有趣的小故事。这个视频片段讲的是1976年夏天习近平去洛阳看望被下放的习仲勋,只有两天时间,习仲勋让习近平背毛选。他们父子在文革中都受到严酷迫害,但习仲勋为什么坚持让23岁的习近平背毛选? youtube.com/shorts/6c4iLba… (刚才竟然没发出来)

This new New Books Network (@newbooksnetwork.bsky.social) podcast with Keith Krueger was an exceptionally interesting podcast for me to do. Really impressed by how much work Keith put into his questions and we had a particularly in-depth conversation about teaching and research. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jos…
