In this interview Peter Hessler, author of "Other Rivers: A Chinese Education," joins National Committee Public Intellectuals Program Fellow Lenora Chu to explore the dramatic evolution of China’s education system as a way of examining the country’s past, present, and future.
In 1996, when Peter Hessler first went to China to teach, almost all of his students were first-generation college students. Most came from large rural families, and their parents, subsistence farmers, could offer little guidance as their children entered a new world. By 2019, when Mr. Hessler arrived at Sichuan University, he found a very different China, as well as a new kind of student – an only child whose schooling was the object of intense focus from a much more ambitious cohort of parents.
At a time when anti-Chinese rhetoric in America has grown intense, Other Rivers is a work of empathy that shows us China from the inside out and the bottom up.
