b'Mao Zedong\\u2019s 1950s China was the world\\u2019s bicycle production capital. In the 90\\u2019s, when the economy opened up, bicycle manufacturing was commoditized and anyone could start a bicycle factory, right in their backyards. We immerse ourselves in the rural town of Wangqingtuo, one of the towns that transformed itself from a backwater agricultural village, to a bustling center of bicycle production. What did bicycles do for this town, and the people in it? Listen on for a tale of their hustle, of inspired imitation, and how bikes changed the lives of the people in this town. \\n\\nFeaturing: \\n\\nChinese: Yu Heyong, Cao Jianqin, Liu Xinnian, Zhu Shaobo \\nVoiceover: Jay Huang, Jake Warga, Dennis Chang, Mike D\\u2019Andreas, Rachel Ren, Albert Chen, Jackson Roach, Daniel Hu, Claire Schoen\\n \\nProducer(s): Gloria Chua, Alice Fang\\n\\nMusic: \\n\\n\\u25cf\\t"\\u767e\\u82b1\\u9b41~\\u7da0\\u843c\\u6885" by \\u53f2\\u5fd7\\u6709, \\u694a\\u79c0\\u862d & \\u6b50\\u967d\\u8b19 (YouTube), Standard YouTube License, link here\\n\\u25cf\\t"Destiny Day" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com), Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License\\n\\u25cf\\t"Odyssey" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com), Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License\\n\\u25cf\\t"Thinking Music" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com), Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License\\n\\u25cf\\t\\u201cFringe\\u201d Topher Mohr and Alex Elena (YouTube Free Music), No attribution required\\n\\nImage: Man riding a bicycle, Photo by Alice Fang, Link here\\n\\nProduction date: Dec 12, 2016'
