About this listen
From the gold rush-era treasure seekers to world-class restaurants, from refugees fleeing war-torn nations to students breathing new life into Melbourne’s CBD, join Sean and his guest, Mark Wang, CEO of Melbourne’s Chinese Museum as they explore the evolving identity and culture of the vibrant Chinese-Australian community.
Mark delves into his family’s deep roots in Victoria, tracing back to his great-great-grandfather, who arrived before the gold rush. He recounts his father's modest start and rise to owning a successful import business in Melbourne. It’s a narrative that mirrors the broader story of the Chinese community and reflects the dynamic shifts in Australia’s population—a melting pot not just on our streets, but within our very being.
Engaging with topics from culinary traditions to the vast array of personal tales captured in the museum's One Million Stories project, and even the quintessential Victorian debate—choosing your AFL team—this podcast takes you on a thrilling ride through the ever-changing tapestry of Victoria's evolving story. This is Victoria’s history, but not as you know it.
