Clever title and equally brilliant content. We in the West need to know much more about important figures in Chinese history. Why did this series end so soon?

I am totally hooked, cannot get enough of it. Prof. Rana Mitter is a wonderful story teller. It's fascinnating to also hear the lives of some foreigners who played important roles in Chinese history, such as Matteo Ricci, Robert Hart, etc. Looking forward to more series.
