Coming Up Next: Huihan Lie, Founder of My China Roots

Listen to the Show Here.

On the Saturday, July 28 broadcast of Marvels of China: Pathways to the Pacific Rim I will be welcoming Mr. Huihan Lie by phone from Beijing. He is the head of a first of its kind family tree and genealogical research business, My China Roots.

What started as interest in tracing his ancestral roots to China quickly evolved into the founding of My China Roots, China’s first company devoted to helping overseas Chinese trace their family history and genealogical roots.

He will be on Conversations to talk about My China Roots -and to announce a first-of-its-kind, innovative service for overseas Chinese around the world. Learn more at MyChinaRoots.com.

Huihan Lie has been featured on the BBC, South China Morning Post, The Economist, China Daily, Global Times and more!

I was especially interested in welcoming Huihan Lie to the show for a very important reason. Since this radio started many, many of the Chinese nationals and Chinese Americans I've met have expressed an interest in learning more about their ancestors and family tree. Mr. Lie's announcement will -I am certain- pique your attention.

We'll feature the Confucius Moment, the Weekly Almanac, Treasures of China, Chinese Fun Facts and more! Tune in to hear the Chinese Word of the Week with Paul Cabo coming in to us from Beijing.

Rick returns to discuss his latest award-winning documentary No Ordinary Joe: The Allen Joe Story.

I’ve established a link to the documentary where you can enjoy Allen Joe’s remarkable and heartwarming story in the Films section of MarvelsofChina.Blogspot.com, and directly on Vimeo.
