Hello and welcome to another interviews series episode on the Dongfang Hour! This is the second part of our interview with Molly Silk, released on October 6.

In Part 2 of this episode, we focus on an iconic product of Chinese space culture, the sci-fi blockbuster The Wandering Earth (流浪地球) , released in 2019. Special thanks to Aurélie Gillet, a collaborator at the Dongfang Hour, who kindly accepted to be the interviewer (Blaine and I admittedly weren't very familiar with the movie...).
