In the first of two episodes, NPR international correspondent Rob Schmitz looks back at his decade in China, first as a Peace Corps volunteer and later as a reporter for "Marketplace" and NPR.
Rob recounts his life as one of few Westerners in Sichuan province in the 1990s; traveling with Arnold Schwarzenegger on a China trade trip; and moving to Germany for a new NPR assignment a few weeks before COVID-19 exploded across China.
