Cheng Lei's years in detention in China, on trumped-up espionage charges, go from cruel and isolating, to absurd and romantic when she gets moved into a cell with three other women.The Chinese-Australian journalist was held in detention in China for more than three years, accused of selling state secrets to foreign people and powers.In episode one of this two-part series, Lei explained how the charges hinged on a document that was read out publicly on television, and how she survived the cruelty of interrogations and being kept in isolation.In this episode, Lei's details how her experience of detention changed as she moved out of solitary confinement, but still under lock and key with three other women.In cell 112, Lei and the other women sang songs when the guards weren't watching, they fought, they bonded and they communicated secretly with the prisoners in a cell next door.The knocking, for which Lei was punished, climaxed in a covert proposal.Eventually, Lei saw sunlight again. With the help of the Australian Government, she was released and flown back home to Melbourne, where she was reunited with her children (now teenagers), rebuilt her life and can be publicly critical of the paranoid and image-conscious state security system that locked her behind bars for years.Further informationListen to the first part of Richard's extraordinary conversation with Cheng Lei here.Cheng Lei: A Memoir of Freedom is published by HarperCollins.Cheng Lei: My Story is a documentary made by Sky News Australia.

The opposition leader is being cautious with his language as he doesn't want to turn off Chinese-Australian voters, as the Coalition did last election, but he also doesn't want to upset those on his right flank. 

I have always been interested in founder-led companies. Entrepreneurs and family-run companies often have unconventional attitudes to risk and return. They often back themselves to take operational risk. They tend to be more innovative. You could say that they are more prone to being maverick. But also, you could say that they are more cautious and mindful of capital preservation and the value of staying in the game for the benefit of future generations.  Investing to capture the founder-led effect is a way to achieve an asymmetric return, with better downside protection in tough times and higher upside returns in good times. Sounds great in theory, but how do you go about it in practice?    In this episode, I chat with a Chinese Australian who invests globally in founder-led companies.  Lawrence Lam has run the Lumenary Global Founders Fund since 2017. As the name suggests, his process attempts to identify companies that are run for the long term and have the founder effect. So, what is the founder effect, and how can investors determine whether a management team has this elusive characteristic?  Well, Lawrence has helpfully written a book called "The Founder Effect - The Three Pillars of Success in Founder-Led Companies." It's a great read if you are trying to understand good long-term management decisions and how to spot them. This is a fascinating conversation with someone who loves what he does and scours the world's stock markets to find his secret formula at work.  We learn how he balances the less correlated world for opportunities to buy founder-led companies that offer good value, why China offers a great way to diversify a portfolio, how BYD is poised to become the next Toyota, and how meeting management might useful for understanding if the company is likely to do well next quarter, but not so useful for understanding whether it will compound for you over the next couple of decades.  As Lawrence says, he looks for the long-term track record of key decision-making, simple organisational structure, skin in the game, and close alignment with shareholders. As always, none of what you are about to hear is financial or any other type of advice. It is hopefully entertaining and informative, but what you hear should not be used as the basis for an investment decision. Please take personal financial advice before investing a penny of your money in these crazy markets. And with that …   Please enjoy my conversation with the maverick Lawrence Lam.         Brought to you by Progressive Equity.

In 2016, Chinese super app WeChat caught the attention of the Australian media after Chinese Australian voters were found to be engaging with the federal election on the platform. Since then, there's been ongoing discussion about misinformation targeting multicultural communities on non-English social media platforms like WeChat. Despite the increased community awareness, Australia may not be prepared to address the issue this election.

Whether you call them traditional foods, native ingredients, bush tucker or something else, what's harvested here is unique. Australia's a “megadiverse” country, home to around 700,000 species. 65,000-year-old grindstones found in a Kakadu rock shelter reflect the long, rich history of First Nations foods here and many plants are nutritional wonders – Kakadu plum has the highest vitamin C level in the world and even Captain Cook used Warrigal greens to save crews from scurvy. But witchetty grubs appear in Sweden's Disgusting Food Museum and native ingredients are largely absent from supermarkets, so are First Nations foods misunderstood and unfairly overlooked? In this episode, Lee Tran Lam talks to proud Bundjalung woman and cookbook author Mindy Woods, Chinese Australian chef Kylie Kwong and proud Mbabaram woman/Torres Strait Islander and nutritionist Sharna Motlap.

Australia’s Chinese community proved to be a powerful voting bloc in the last election. And as the time draws near to vote again, a growing number of politicians have realised that appealing to the country’s 1.5 million Chinese Australians is key to electoral success. But as journalist Wing Kuang has found, the major parties’ attempts to court Chinese voters are proving to be rocky. The Chinese-owned app, RedNote, is a new frontier in efforts to reach Chinese voters. But with speech on RedNote filtered by an authoritarian regime, it raises questions about how political debate in Australia is being shaped by foreign rules. Today, contributor to The Saturday Paper, Wing Kuang, on how the Chinese community might shape the outcome of the election – and what they really think of Albanese and Dutton.

In this compelling conversation with Lowanna Grant, Kerri Shying, a Wiradjuri poet with a mixed heritage including Chinese Australian ancestry, shares how poetry serves as a tool for emotional expression and cultural connection. Despite living with a degenerative disease, Kerri explains how poetry helped her regain her voice and connect with both her Indigenous roots and broader communities.

Alana says "we ate a mix of Chinese food and Australian mix of food  which consisted mainly of meat and potatoes, however, mom never enjoyed cooking. Alana's mom is warm and fuzzy yet she and her mom didn't talk openly of intimate topics regarding female issues.Alana has one brother, Adam, three years older, they will always be there for one another. Alana describe's their relationship as "chalk and cheese."Lesley had studied bio chemical science and worked in hospital labs."As a teenager mom was quite studious but also very very social. She has an ability to retain so much information about the people she's met. She inquisitive and interested when she meets someone and can retain all of this information. Lesley is  very creative and  logical. Lesley enjoyed  calligraphy  and making things, "it's a nice balance" according to Alana. Alana explains that her parents were at university with the same group of friends.  "Mom was the bad-cop with strict rules, dad was fun to be with," according to my guest. " Lani" is  Alana's nickname. Dad went to chiropractic school as an adult. Alana's dad had to get psychiatric help for a while when she was a child, so mom was on her own for a while taking care of the kids. "Dad was ahead of his time in that he openly searched out help on his own.  Personal health is very important to him and he wanted professional help and not just to rely on being medicated", recalls Alana."My mother is very empathic and very loyal," and being on her own was tough. my grandparents helped a lot but my mother rose to the occasion. Mom says family comes first. I'm sure this was a very tough time for my mother. Both or our parents gave us a very happy and healthy childhood, even with these ups and downs," reflect Bonnemann.Lesley's the oldest of three children. Lesley and her mother have a very close relationship.I asked my guest, "If you're having a bad day and just need someone to talk to, is your mom the first one you call? Alana responds, "I would always go to my mom  but my mom always gives me the same advice "you'll be alright,  you'll be ok, it'll be what it'll be . Before Alana calls her mom, she already knows what her mother's response will be.  "There's always that assurance there," continues Alana.  Mom can you just validate my feelings. She's always there. She's open to it as well. She doesn't block me out.I love how Alana responded to my next question regarding her mother.... "This is the story of a woman.....? And this is her response which I love." "This is the story of a woman who loves her family. She is like a mother duck who will put her wings over the people that she cares about and keeps them close to her heart. "Alana lives in Germany and her mother is in Australia and she's always, even from afar, always  encouraging that we have a strong bond with all of our family members."Alana has chosen the emoji of the flamenco/tango dancer to describe her mom-"she's a bit spicy, she got a flare, she's got energy, she got jazz about her." Lesley is very active. She dragon boat peddles and plays Pickleball. "She's quite short but just a lot of energy. She keeps track of all of Alana's friends back in Australia," reflects Alana.When asked about her career and how is her philosophy of helping women is different from others,  Alana says "it all comes down to purpose, perhaps. She believes that if someone is healthy and feels mentally, emotionally and physically sound we have that much more to offer others.  "By elevating women to be able to feel well, then they get to impact their life and that impacts other people's lives . There's a wave of change and in perhaps in my own way,  changing the world, for the better."  I learned a lot from Alana. Our mind is a powerful thing and we can get pulled off track very easily. You can either go for that chocolate or sugar treat that's calling out to you or perhaps trade that in for a few minutes of meditation. Neither is bad but meditation may be more frustrating, but consider which will bring you more happiness and what are the long term benefits that we can get from doing things that benefit our health?  WEBSITE: https://alanabonnemann.comPODCAST: https://alanabonnemann.com/podcast/INSTAGRAM:www.instagram.com/naturoapth.alanaLINKEDIN: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alana-bonnemann-3a638b37/PODCAST:Health After 30  "Should Have Listened To My Mother" is an ongoing conversation about mothers/female role models and the roles they play in our lives.

Born in Malaysia, Keshe moved to Australia when she was two years old.

More about THE GIRL WITH NO REFLECTION Princess Ying Yue believed in love...once upon a time. Yet when she's chosen to wed the crown prince, Ying's dreams of a fairy tale marriage quickly fall apart. Her husband-to-be is cold and indifferent, confining Ying to her room for reasons he won't explain. Worse still are the rumors that swirl around the imperial whispers of seven other royal brides who, after their own weddings, mysteriously disappeared.  Left alone with only her own reflection for company, Ying begins to see things. Strange things. Movements in the corners of her mirror. Colorful lights upon its surface. And when, on the eve of her wedding, she unwittingly tears open a gateway, she is pulled into a mirror world. This realm is full of sentient reflections, including the enigmatic Mirror Prince. Unlike his real-world counterpart, the Mirror Prince is kind and compassionate, and before long Ying falls in love—the kind of love she always dreamed of.  But there is darkness in this new world, too. It turns out the two worlds have a long and blood-soaked history, and Ying has a part to play in the future of them both. And the brides who came before Ying?

In today's episode, I talk to Jen about her pregnancy, birth and traditional Chinese confinement during postpartum. Jen is a second-generation Chinese-Australian and while she was at first hesitant to embrace the confinement period after birth, when she left the hospital feeling frail, “like a creature born trembling, without fur or feathers” she accepted all the teas, soups and rest her mother and mother-in-law offered her. Jen considers her birth a really positive experience and she reflects on her golden month of healing with immense gratitude.    Jen's mother is an OB/GYN and acupuncturist who encouraged her to track her cycle by taking her temperature. She conceived within two months and opted for shared care with her GP as she didn't have any health concerns. ---- Get our 3 most-loved resources for supporting your birthing journey and beyond in The Birth Bundle.

One of the finest films having its Australian premiere at the festival is Jaydon Martin's stunning feature debut film Flathead. This fiction-documentary hybrid film follows Cass Cumerford, a bloke near the end of his days who returns to Bundaberg, the region he grew up. Swaying into the town, he finds consolation and support with various religious sects that have sprung up in the land before he flows into the life of Andrew, a Chinese-Australian fish and chip shop owner who is dealing with his own understanding of mortality.Flathead follows these real figures as they're nudged along a partly-fictional narrative, and as the film plays with a sublime black and white presentation, it sways into a dreamlike state, providing a highly affecting story about modern Australia.It's that notion of what a modern Australia is that drives the following conversation with Jaydon, who took four years to make the film and had to leave Australia to realise what it was that he needed to make. Flitting into some of the scenes, and delivering a closing duet with Cass, is fellow filmmaker Brodie Poole, a documentarian in his own right who has also essayed what modern Australia looks like on screen with his documentary General Hercules. Both Brodie and Jaydon are engaging in an essential conversation right now about Australian identity and culture, and in doing so, they're also reasserting the notion of who gets to tell stories on screen in this place we call Australia.Flathead is an experience like no other, and my words here barely scrape the thematic text of the film, nor do they do justice to what Jaydon is putting forward as a filmmaker. As a nation, there is a shortage of filmmakers who operate in the realm of social realism, and I'm hoping beyond hope that Jaydon continues down this path. If so, then we will be richly rewarded as his body of work builds over the years.For now, do what you can to see Flathead. It's one of the finest Australian films of the year.It screens on 12 June and 15 June at the Sydney Film Festival. For tickets, visit sff.org.au. Hosted on Acast.

Today I speak with Hetty McKinnon all about how food connects us to ourselves and others, as well as how to bring excitement and flavor to winter vegetables. Hetty is a Chinese Australian cook and food writer. A James Beard Foundation finalist, she is the author of five bestselling cookbooks, including her latest Tenderheart, and is a regular recipe contributor to New York Times Cooking, The Washington Post, Bon Appetit, Epicurious, and more. I love Hetty's work so much because it's imbued with story and authenticity. Hetty describes how for her, cooking is a channel for connection. It connects her to her family, to her Cantonese and Australian heritage, to the people she cooks and writes for, and also to those she's lost. She desribes how food is a channel for remembering her father, who passed away when she was fifteen, and how she brings aspects of him onto the plate. We also talk about winter vegetables, which can seem tough or unruly to cook, or drab and boring. Hetty proves otherwise. She shares recipe ideas and cooking tips for making winter vegetables utterly delicious. We're talking turnips, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, broccoli, and more. If you think you know these vegetables, think again. I think you're going to walk away hungry and inspired to get in the kitchen. Links and Resources:* Mind, Body, Spirit, FOOD newsletter: https://mindbodyspiritfood.substack.com/* Find Nicki on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nickisizemore/* Hetty's newsletter: https://tovegetableswithlove.substack.com/* Find Hetty on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hettymckinnon/* Hetty's new book, Tenderheart: https://amzn.to/3GoHkVf Get full access to Mind, Body, Spirit, FOOD at mindbodyspiritfood.substack.com/subscribe

Growing up Chinese Australian under the White Australia Policy was tough, but Mary wouldn't be underestimated. She became the first-known Chinese Australian to get a university degree and used her smarts to speak up for Chinese migrant families who were being kept apart by the government. She moved to China to work as a journalist and diplomat, but when she wanted to come back to Australia after World War 2, she wasn't allowed to bring her family back home. This wasn't good enough, so she pushed for all people to be able to call Australia home. Written and narrated by 10-year-old Meike Chow.

In today's episode, I talk to Jen about her pregnancy, birth and traditional Chinese confinement during postpartum. Jen is a second-generation Chinese-Australian and while she was at first hesitant to embrace the confinement period after birth, when she left the hospital feeling frail, “like a creature born trembling, without fur or feathers” she accepted all the teas, soups and rest her mother and mother-in-law offered her. Jen considers her birth a really positive experience and she reflects on her golden month of healing with immense gratitude.    Jen's mother is an OB/GYN and acupuncturist who encouraged her to track her cycle by taking her temperature. She conceived within two months and opted for shared care with her GP as she didn't have any health concerns.  If you'd like my FREE 5-minute breathing exercise click Follow us on Instagram to keep the conversation going.
