Qin Sun Stubis (Part I of II): Her Family’s History during the Great Chinese Famine | 109

This week we welcome Qin Sun Stubis for part one of a two part series. In this first part, we learn about her grandmother’s belief that her father was cursed before he was born, how her parents met, the work they did in the western part of China, the great famine that decimated China from the late 1950s to the early 1960s, and finally, about Qin’s birth and her family’s desperate living situation. Please join us for this incredible story of love and perseverence.Visit Qin’s website: http://www.qinsunstubis.com/Purchase Qin’s book: https://a.co/d/4E3HV0iSad Times Website: www.sadtimespodcast.comLearn more about Kevin’s Professional Speaking and Acting at www.kevincrispin.comFollow Sad Times on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/373292146649249Follow Sad Times on Instagram: @sadtimespodcastGet your very own “Sad Schwag”: https://www.teepublic.com/stores/hysteria51/albums/253388-sad-times-podcast?ref_id=9022Editorial note: Sad Times is committed to sharing various stories from generous guests.
