Imagine the worst rain you’ve ever seen, and imagine that lasting for weeks, months, even years. Cultures around the world tell stories like this — flood myths, we call them, and we’ve looked at a few from China already. This week and next week, though, we’ll cover another one, possibly the most important: the story of a flood, a supernatural heist, and incredible dedication to the people and the nation.
Join me, Jaer Christie, as I explore the hidden legends that shape the world on The Mythographist: Myths of Mainland China.
