Hooked on Huayu (Series 1). Episode 3

Description

For American Arthur Kok, the Chinese language—along with its history and culture—was a million worlds away. It might as well have been Martian-speak. Yet it also represented an ancient civilization that won his respect and interest. Thus began a journey that spanned 6,000 miles and sparked a love interest. Join him and host Melissa Hyak as they learn the art of modern Chinese drumming, juggle trays and trolleys as “dim-sum waiters” for a day, and walk through Chinese concepts of heaven and hell. All that—in Mandarin—in Hooked on Huayu.
