You are listening to a Clark's World magazine podcast with your host and narrator Kate Baker.

Greetings Clark World Citizens. I hope this podcast finds you extraordinarily well.

Welcome to the second to the last story

for the month of May, 2020.

I hope you are fairing as well as you possibly can be with all of the things that seem to be happening or on fire.

I'm glad you get to spend a little bit of time away from all that and listen to another podcast.

Thank you again for your support and your patience.

Our story is titled The Language Sheath, and is by Regina Kanyu Wong, translated by Emily Chen and Regina Kanyu Wong.

a graduate of Fudan University's MFA program.

So my dear listener, I hope you can sit back,

relax, and let me tell you a story.
