China is a country with a storied history fascinating to the rest
of the world. With a population of more than 1.3 billion people,
over 18% of people in the world are Chinese at this moment in
time, with Mandarin being the most spoken language in the world.
There are thousands of characters used in writing Chinese and the
history of the people spans thousands of years and dozens of
dynasties.

While we could spend a year discussing the history of the
country, today we are going to focus on modern China and media
and specifically on a woman who has become China’s most important
journalist in Germany.

Qian Sun was born in Taiyun in 1988 and has spent the last 9
years living in Germany where she now lives. She studied sports
journalism in Beijing and did a Masters in global studies in
Leipzig and has been working in media for the last six years,
reporting all over the globe. She can film, edit, present – she
can do it all. She currently works as the German correspondent
for Phoenix TV and most recently worked for FIFA Women’s World
Cup covering the Chinese national team.

We have a few topics we want to cover with her today. What was it
like to get chosen to work for FIFA? How did it feel to
transition from a collectivistic to an individualistic society
and which does she like better? How is dating in Germany vs
China? What have both a goat and Eckhart Tolle taught her about
life? Host Caitlin Arnould is going to take you on a journey to
find out now.
