Back in 1985, China Radio International was called "Radio Beijing." Just like today, the station broadcast in English to people around the world. But in the Eighties, China itself, was a very different place.
Caroline Frantzis hasn't been back to Beijing since 1987. But in 2011, she returns to the capital for the 70th anniversary of China Radio International. In the mid-80s, Frantzis worked as a foreign expert in the English department of Radio Beijing, where she hosted a weekly Chinese cooking show. In this video, she takes on a trip down memory lane.
