Please note: this second interview covers Leo’s writing and journalism. His synthesis of music, history and politics is a fascinating and informative discussion. For his musical talents and philosophies, please see Part 1 (https://chinarising.puntopress.com/2019/01/09/beijing-to-berlin-pt-1-dj-zhaos-music-of-cross-cultural-revolution-africa-and-communism-china-rising-radio-sinoland-190110/).
I am pleased to have on the show today Leo He Zhao, also known as Dj Zhao. He is a talented musician, regularly performing in concert in Europe. As well, Leo is an excellent journalist/writer at Medium.com, making him a true Renaissance man. I had the pleasure of learning about Leo, thanks to The Greanville Post publishing a couple of his articles, and I was very impressed with his research, perspective and reasoning. We started an email friendship and he kindly agreed to join me today.
