Acclaimed author Tong Ge joins us to discuss her celebrated novel, 'The House Filler,' a family saga set in China during the most tumultuous time of the twentieth century including the Japanese invasion, the civil war, and the Communist takeover.
We go on to discuss the power of Historical Fiction to both fuel social reform and preserve history by documenting the stories of the silenced and erased. As Tong Ge puts it, the number one outcome that drives storytellers is the desire to 'right a wrong.' This episode touches on the mechanics of empowering those who inherit intergenerational trauma from their ancestors, as well as the resilience of the human spirit when driven by love.

Now more than ever, it’s tempting to throw our hands in the air and surrender to futility in the face of global strife. Storytellers know we must renew hope daily. We are being called upon to embrace our interconnectivity, transform paradigms, and trust the ripple effect will play its part. In the words of Lion King producer Don Hahn (Episode 8), “Telling stories is one of the most important professions out there right now.” We here at Language of the Soul Podcast could not agree more.
