In part 1 of this two-part series, Clay and guest host Maggie follow Li and Suyi — two young Chinese individuals — and their stories of how they grew up and came to Shanghai. This episode explores what it’s like growing up on China’s economic periphery, removed from the ever-growing metropolitan areas along the coast, as well as some familiar stresses of growing up, how these experiences shape who we become, and the unfamiliarity of living in a new place.

12:09: Growing up in Guiyang

19:02: Respect through education

26:03: Pressures from the hukou system

35:22: The gaokao

Music credits:

Thanks to Mike and Nowness Shanghai for letting me use their recording studio.
