Jing su jane is a professor in the department of comparative literature at yale. She's written a book about the chinese language and its history. Chinese doesn't have an alphabet, it has what are called characters. They make me look like square shaped clusters of smaller patterned intersection of lines and dots inside them.
China is now one of the world’s most powerful nations. But how did its unique and formidable language shape its rise? Jing Tsu, the author of Kingdom of Characters, joins Adam to explain the history of the Chinese language, and the amazing innovations that brought it into the modern world.
