Life, Love, and Loss in China: Hazza Harding's story of resilience

This week on Sinica, I chat with Hazza Harding, a young Australian who began learning Chinese and made his way to China where he became a pop singer with hits on Chinese pop charts and a state media newscaster — and also lost his husband tragically, suffered through the COVID lockdowns while grieving for his loss. Yet he remains committed to furthering understanding and engagement, and has shown admirable resilience. Read his remarkable essay on his experiences here.

6:51 – How Hazza started in China, and how his career changed throughout his time there

19:27 – Hazza’s experiences feeling alienated in China

27:00 – Hazza’s experience working in Chinese state media

34:04 – How China shaped Hazza and Wayne’s love story, and how grief has shaped Hazza’s perspective on life

56:08 – The loveliness of everyday interactions

58:43 – Hazza’s advice on giving oneself time and leniency

1:02:38 – How Hazza may find his way back to China in the future
