In The Man Who Loved China, Simon Winchester tells the story of Joseph Needham, an eccentric biochemist at Cambridge University who embarked on two great love affairs—Lu Gwei-Djen and China. In this interview, Winchester discusses Needham's introduction to Chinese language, his creation of an intellectual force during war and conflict, China's intellectual background, and more.
