Tell me your favorite episode for the 6th anniversary show! For thousands of years, one river has shaped the history, culture, and destiny of China.  Its waters helped give birth to Chinese civilization, yet its floods brought destruction on a scale few rivers in the world can match. Known as both China’s Mother River and China’s Sorrow, the Yellow River is a story of geography, agriculture, disaster, and survival. Learn more about the Yellow River and how it shaped one of the world’s great civilizations on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
