Being an International Student During the Virus with Zeyi Yang, Columbia University Masters of Journalism Candidate - a podcast by $6.99 Per Pound
from 2020-04-22T11:00
Last Call: Special Series Dedicated to the Covid-19 Crisis
Jaeki and Jojo talk with Zeyi Yang, Wuhan native and international student at Columbia University, about his experience adjusting to online classes and not being with his family in Wuhan during lockdown. With graduation and career expo canceled, Zeyi reflects on his last semester as a Master’s candidate in Journalism and International Affairs at Columbia University. We also get into the confusing US Work Visa system that international students have to navigate as they look for a job that will support their Visa application. As a contributor of South China Morning Post, Zeyi also shares with us his thoughts on Chinese media and the future of the press in China as whistleblowers like Li Wenliang’s death lead to a large outcry for freedom of press in China. Tune in now!
