In this episode of Strait Talk, I sit down with Mario Cavolo, a multifaceted writer and actor residing in Shenyang City, Liaoning Province. Mario shares his experiences portraying General Douglas MacArthur in the Chinese historical series Crossing the Yalu River, and we discuss how his character's role in the Korean War connects with my family's history, which led to my relatives living in Shenyang today. Our conversation spans various topics, including the impact of historical events on personal lives and the increasing vilification of China in western media. Mario offers his unique insights into these complex issues, making this episode a must-listen for anyone interested in history, media, and cross-cultural experiences. Join us for a candid and thought-provoking discussion that bridges past and present, personal and global narratives.
