Mao's China & Modern America | The Kojo Nnamdi Show

As a girl growing up during China's Cultural Revolution, Anchee Min worshipped Mao and memorized his writings. But when disillusionment set in as an adult, Min transformed a lucky set of connections into an escape. Now an award-winning novelist living in America since 1984, Min talks to Kojo about the immigrant experience, learning English from Sesame Street, and trying to make sense of the China she left behind.
