Thank you.

Thank you.

so much, Yang Wen.

An amazing lesson.

I think we all learned so much there.

Well done, Sophie.

Fantastic memory recall.

And listener, if you want more brilliant biographies with Sophie Dugas, check out our episodes on Benedetta Carlini, the saucy nun, Ramesses the Great, another sort of big, powerful name, and of course, the Chevalier de Saint-Georges, the great composer.

And for more Chinese history, why not listen to our episodes on the history of Kung Fu, the Tong Dynasty, and the Terracotta Warriors, of course.

All very interesting.
