Sri Lanka is still recovering after a long civil war. After the death of his colleague, Mel Gunasekera, Charles Haviland reflects on a society which has become brutalised by years of violence. In Beijing, Michael Goldfarb meets Professor Fu. Together, they explore the many and surprising connections between Judaism and Confucianism.
