Sunday, 7 June, 2026
This week on Asian America: The Ken Fong Podcast, host Ken Fong welcomes legendary media mogul, entrepreneur, and humanitarian Yue-Sai Kan. Dubbed by People magazine as "the most famous woman in China" and Time as "the Queen of the Middle Kingdom," Yue-Sai has spent over four decades serving as a definitive cultural bridge between the East and the West. In this episode, Yue-Sai opens up about her deeply personal and illuminating memoir, The Most Famous Woman in China. She revisits the 1980s when she first stepped into a monochromatic, closed-off China to host the groundbreaking television series One World, broadcasting to over 400 million households weekly, which also helped her revolutionize the beauty industry in China.
