About this episode

In this excerpt from Yang Jie aka the Princess' Diary, we get to see how a library date pans out for the under-appreciated Wang Wei.

Let's see if it works, as you listen to this podcast with some Mandarin Chinese love in the library. Episode link: https://www.chinesepod.com/0718
