NPR's Book of the Day - A new book from Emily Feng asks what it means to be Chinese in Xi Jinping’s China

NPR reporter Emily Feng lived in, and reported from, Beijing for years. But in 2022, the Chinese government told Feng, who was born in the United States to Chinese parents, that she couldn't return to the country. The experience prompted her to ask: What does it mean to be Chinese under Xi Jinping's government? Her new book Let Only Red Flowers Bloom explores this question through the lens of individuals who don't fit the government's ideal. In today's episode, Feng joins NPR's Ailsa Chang for a conversation about one of the central characters in the book, the way the Chinese government connects religion and ethnicity, and the personal impact of identity politics.

In the mid-19th century, Europe saw what was perhaps its largest war since the end of the Napoleonic Wars. 


The war was ultimately fought over who would pick up the pieces of the failing Ottoman Empire. However, every country that fought in the conflict had its own unique reasons for doing so. 


What no one could know at the time is that the war would usher in changes that would affect the future of warfare forever. 


Learn more about the Crimean War, its causes, and its legacy on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
