Joshua Lotz wins 1st place in the Chinese Bridge competition!

The Chinese Bridge competition, held in Changchun, Jilin, is the ultimate forum for displaying advanced level skills in Chinese language and culture. Ohio State's own Joshua Lotz, who is working on a combined degree in Chinese and biochemistry, placed first in this competition, in front of a nationally televised audience that numbers in the millions. Joshua had to read a prepared speech, answer questions on Chinese history, geography, and culture, and give a performance of the story "Wu Song Fights the Tiger." With his award, he receives a scholarship to study at any Chinese university, which will assist him in his research on Chinese and Tibetan medicine. Congratulations to Joshua, to his coaches Ms. Huanzhen Zhao and Dr. Eric Shepherd, and to Galal Walker, the Director of the Chinese Flagship Program.
