π Relationscapes Episode 60: Conversation with Blair Hodges
Interview by Blair Hodges
In this episode of the Relationscapes podcast hosted by Blair Hodges, Shen Yang shares her experience of being born in 1980s China under the One Child Policy, which made her existence technically illegal. They explore the hardships she faced growing up as an "illegal daughter," her resilience and defiance in the face of neglect, and the broader implications of China's family planning policies, drawing on her memoir More Than One Child: Memoirs of an Illegal Daughter. This thoughtful conversation reveals the personal complexities behind a deeply hidden chapter of history.
