Ep. 241 | Kawashima Yoshiko (Part 1)

The China History Podcast - A podcast by Laszlo Montgomery - Sundays

We leave the warlords behind but not the time period. This time, in this first of a three part series, we examine the strange and tragic life of Kawashima Yoshiko. Born a princess in the Manchu Qing royal family, she went on to have quite an extraordinary life. In this Part 1 episode we'll look at her early days and rehash some old Qing Dynasty history from the 17th century. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
