-A' ' The First Ming Emperor'
INNES JACKSON
In a number of dramatic interludes this afternoon's broadcast will take listeners back to the China of six hundred years ago. At that time there was born of poor peasants a child named T'ai Tsu, who' was destined to become the first of the great dynasty of Ming Emperors and one of the greatest rulers that China has ever known.
Before he ascended his Imperial throne China had undergone a long period of oppression under the Mongols, and the Emperor made it his life's work to drive the invaders from the country and bestow upon China a period of culture and prosperity outstanding in its history.
