    <title>The Spirit of the Chinese People</title>
    <link>https://radio.cgtn.com/podcast/column/other/The-Spirit-of-the-Chinese-People/184</link>
    <description>"The Spirit of the Chinese People" was published in 1915 by Malaysian-Chinese scholar Gu Hongming. This essay collection is considered to be the first work in modern China to introduce Chinese people to westerners. Although the opinions seem dated, the book offers interesting insights into the impact of Confucianism on the Chinese people and culture.</description>
